Even moreso if Wiseman's Grandchild had the animation budget. |
Personally I like the animation in Wiseman's Grandchild more if only because it doesn't have the awkward janky CGI.

I thought they did a good job with Uchouten Kazoku about tanuki and tengu. |
The actual themes -- tradition and responsibility, inherited obligation vs personal choice, &c -- in Uchouten Kazoku are pretty mundane: the same narrative beats could be pretty straightforwardly told with the magic stripped off. We don't know for sure what Fairy Gone is going to be about[1], but it's probably going to be something about people's responses to getting their families murdered, &c: stuff that most people don't experience.
[1] This is usually pretty bad, after four eps: thematic content is pretty important to a story so it should usually be front-and-centre, and you should have some vague idea at least after a significant fraction of almost any show's runtime. Compare-and-contrast with... ooh, Rage of Bahamut, which in the course of basically a single episode-long fight scene managed to carefully articulate that people were getting accused of and facing the consequences for wrong acts that weren't the wrong acts they'd actually done.

It's cute that this guy thinks that an anime can be made in one year like that based on reception from an anime of 2018. This anime is obviously in the making for years with planning, pre-production and production per se. |
Given how bad some of the production and writing is it should've spent more time being planned out. |
If they had had the time for foresight, I would've preferred if they just made more Sirius the Jaegar. I liked that show a whole lot more than this one! Too bad...
(And P.A. Works can do fantastical, they did a decent job with Kurumukuro)

Sirius was lacking in substance too but at least the characters had some chemistry between them to make it entertaining.

Caitlin Glass and her voice cast are doing great work on this show, so even if the show isn't great (I think it's alright so far, and I like the characters, especially Marlya), I'm gonna wanna stick with it.
Just 22 more episodes for me to go! nervous laughter |
Agreed, the dub has been fantastic so far.
I like a bunch of the characters too, especially her, even if the story has been a little messy and hasn't really dug into anything so far.

I feel like Magus Bride spoiled me with it's detailed fantasy world building. |
Same here, I still like it and hope that it gets more detailed as it goes.
