Due to Licensing Rights from Japan the second half won't ever be available unless you live in Japan or bought the DVD's from someone in Japan and had them shipped. 

Other than that its still a great anime and worth watching. The Characters are entertaining as they incorporate characters form Classic fairy tales in literature. It is a very fun anime and the story line is good. It is also one of the rare Animes that uses German in its Title (Marchen) and incorporates German names and such in the series.  

Honestly, this anime is completely overlooked and underrated. In 2023, it's probably best consumed by watching the battles on YouTube. I haven't finished it and it's certainly not the best or most original shonen out there, but the character design is top notch, and the basic concepts and battle sequences are all really well composed. The animation doesn't do it any justice, I'm not all that into badguy-of-the-day shonens, and the general plot isn't all that engaging, but I can't get past how beautiful and unique these characters are. Even the one-off enemies are all intricately designed. Their powers and summons as well, you can tell that the mangaka was having a blast dreaming them up. Better than Yu-Gi-Oh, which is probably the most comparable.

If you love unique character design, or are looking for inspiration to create your own characters, then there's a lot to appreciate here. A remake with the right studio would slap.

It's awesome! But, how come literally every website that has the dub has it where the video and audio are totally out of sync? It's ridiculous!
