but thats done in like every ecchi anime...i mean,look at all those people,100 comments and almost all thinks this will be "harem MC becomes tsundere redhead's slave,she kicks him calling him baka"

Prejudice level over 9000

This thing will be the most unique thing harem/ecchi/magic/action tags will allow....

For a moment I thought I was reading the Absolute Duo synopsis again. Seriously, this sounds practically the same as Absolute Duo, and that's already generic as hell.

This is going to be absolute trash.

I love how every LN synopsis starts with a somewhat interesting premise, and then it ends with something like this:

...when Ikki walked in on her while she was changing her clothes....forced to live the same room and practice magic together throughout all their school years, how will Stella and Ikki's relationship evolve?

Now I hate generic LN haremshit as much as the next sensible person, but from what I've heard this is in the higher end of the spectrum. The main girl isn't a total insufferable bitch and her relationship with the MC is actually developed. I've heard that the MC is good too. But this is all just based on what I've read. Plus the illustrations are nice and the main girl is pretty hot.

It's garbage, but it's slightly less garbage than what we've been getting lately. I guess.

Its obvious, because adaptation is already one-sided interpretation. The one who adapts brings subjectivity and makes his own interpretation of it. However, when people read the book they are making their own interpretation of everything, thats how imagination works.
And the comments on the forum crying about that makes me consider people silly thinking, because this fact is unavoidable. Simple conclusion - dont watch anime, read the book if you cant stand that.

if we are getting so much school-magic "generic" (as you say) LNs that means some people are enjoying them.

OP: ill watch, it doesnt get boring for me.

So, maybe even a 2/10? Just wonderful...

Also, a quick research revealed a yandere imouto, tsundere female MC and some obvious hax powers of the male MC. Yeah... pinnacle of originality right here.

She's actually a pretty decent tsundere from the chapters I've read. Her and MC get together pretty quickly. I wouldn't really call this a harem, but it is incredibly generic.

Anime are often just a publicity in Japan, for many titles.

Before judging a novel, one should read it. Don't judge it from the anime, which is another thing, 90% of the time with half the story missing and with 1/3 of explanation/reasoning/details.
The anime only serves to raise awareness of the title, but if you want to KNOW the title, novels is required.

For example Absolute Duo, as novel is something else than the anime, much better.

That said, I don't think I will see this series.

I decided one should not judge a work by its cover, as the saying goes. Since I am, unfortunately, a bit short of time lately, I couldn't dedicate a day to the LN, so I went for the next best option, the manga. Of course, I was fully aware that the manga would most likely fail to capture more nuanced aspects of the LN, but what can one do. Anyway, I checked the first six chapters of the manga and, to my shock and surprise, it turned out it was as good as I expected it to be. And then some.

The opening pages introduced me to a beautiful maiden, one of the main characters.
http://img.bato.to/comics/2014/04/14/r/read534bba7ccbec0/img000003.jpg

A few pages later, I saw character development and plot (in the last panel, mainly)
http://img.bato.to/comics/2014/04/14/r/read534bba7ccbec0/img000029.png

There was some more PLOT development later, mostly thanks to clever angle and marvelous art
http://img.bato.to/comics/2014/04/14/r/read534bba7ccbec0/img000045.png

But, not to think everything was focused on the female side of the characters and her plot(s), I encountered some deep stuff focusing on the male protagonist
http://img.bato.to/comics/2014/04/14/r/read534bba7ccbec0/img000057.png

After the deep stuff, it was time to lighten the mood, so the second chapter focused on a brilliantly executed comedy, while providing quality fanservice and furthering the character relationships
http://img.bato.to/comics/2014/05/04/r/read5366220726f48/img000022.png
http://img.bato.to/comics/2014/05/04/r/read5366220726f48/img000023.png
http://img.bato.to/comics/2014/05/04/r/read5366220726f48/img000002.png

Although I very much enjoyed the respite from all the serious and tense stuff, I was also glad that several pages later after the above, we were treated to a flashback that skillfully provided a glimpse into the MC's past and his motives
http://img.bato.to/comics/2014/05/04/r/read5366220726f48/img000033.png

Just as I was getting used to the idea this would focus on the dynamic between the male protagonist and his female roommate, the author decided to shake that idea
http://img.bato.to/comics/2014/06/07/r/read539349e0ca2e7/img000039.png
http://img.bato.to/comics/2014/06/07/r/read539349e0ca2e7/img000041.png

Later on, more bonding ensued

http://img.bato.to/comics/2014/07/08/r/read53bb679baf8eb/img000045.png

I do not wish to bore people any further, as I am sure I demonstrated the high quality of this piece of fiction. Also, I couldn't read any more for the fear of brain aneurysm.

" I swear Absolute Duo is different!"
"Blade Dance really breaks the mold!"
"SAO/DxD/Mahouka gets good after this arc, really!"

Stop with the bullshit excuses. Modern LN are 90% crap and everyone except some pathetic otaku knows it. We get the same posts everytime a new Ln is announced and everytime it turns out that the Ln adaption is just as bad as expected.

Face it: LN CAN be judged by the cover, and that is honestly part of the problem. When your series is so generic that people are tired of it even after only looking at the cover, you as a creator did something wrong.
If you consider 90% of anime as shit, you can say that "I can tell by the cover that this will be shit" and in your opinion you will be right 90% of times; that doesn't make you a person magically able to judge an anime by its cover, it only makes you look like an elitist unable to enjoy anime that underrates and shit-talks mainstream stuff to keep up his facade...
Humans are suspicious and jealous creatures. When they see something perfect, they wanna find a flaw.

However, you can judge many LNs that get adapted these days by their title or synopsis and if not (in the case of word salad titles or something with a vague synopsis) it could be used as sign to proceed with caution, for example if a title contains Imouto in the title (or if you are familiar with the author and they did a younger sister LN and you didn't like it or aren't into it) you may want to read the synopsis, read one chapter just to be sure or stay away if you aren't into younger sisters or tsunderes. They are getting too predictable and the ones that are adapted and are something even remotely different or just a breakthrough in something generic, their titles, synopsis, characters, or all of the above stand out like a sore thumb.

If I got a Euro everytime somebody on MAL tells me that a LN totally gets better after volume x, I would be a rich man now.

This show will be cancer, exactly like most of the other garbage LN shows that came before it, and the many more we will get until this most recent fad in anime dies its well deserved death. All the actually good ones have already been adapted, so now there is only piss left in the boot.

It's the opposite, very few of the good ones were adapted and the studios are adapting the bottom of the shit barrel because they think it will have a better chance of being a hit. Blame the studios for being far too safe.

I like how the synopsis is all the same too "MC is the only guy who can wield this power solely women can use" or "The MC sucks at *insert whatever here*" and the covers are basically some moe female with revealing clothes.

Although some LN to anime adaptions are superb like Drrr!!,Spice and Wolf (even if I only saw 2 episodes of season 1), and Hataraku Maou Sama!. I'm sure there are amazing LNs out there, but the studios animate the same generic trash.
