I finished The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent. The premise of a woman becoming an herbalist reminded me of 'Snow White with the Red Hair', which was all the incentive I needed to watch this because Snow White was great. Sadly, Saint didn't reach the same highs. I blame it on this being an isekai and the main girl being super powerful. Having cheat code magic made Sei's accomplishments less satisfying than what Shirayuki needed to work for, plus the romance in Saint wasn't anywhere near as fleshed out. I should probably stop comparing this to Snow White, though, because that's one of the best anime ever so it isn't fair.

In any case, Saint was still a very good anime! Sei was a fun character and I enjoyed watching her learn new things about the world and her powers. There's something about herbs and potion-crafting that I always find interesting. The monster problem in the surrounding woods was a nice driving motivation for everything, and I appreciated that the political intrigue never got too dramatic. Overall, it was just a nice anime to watch.

It also really, really made me want to rewatch Snow White with the Red Hair, so I'll probably do that next.
