Luck & Logic

"Logic" is the concept that governs emotions, abilities, ideals, memories, and all other abstract properties that make up life in various worlds. With its power, however, alien "Foreigners" are able to pass through portals imbued with their respective world's Logic and pose a threat to other worlds. To counter this problem, the Another Logic Counter Agency (ALCA) from the human world of Septpia employs "Logicalists," people with the power to form bonds with the Foreigners who seek peace and share their Logic, tasked with dealing with all possible dangers.

After overloading his powers two years prior, Yoshichika Tsurugi has lost the ability to use Logic in combat, making him no different from a regular citizen. However, his life soon returns to the battlefield when he meets Athena, a Foreigner goddess from the world of Tetra-Heaven. She brings Yoshichika his missing Logic Card, allowing him to become a Logicalist once again. Soon after, Yoshichika forms a contract with Athena and joins ALCA. There, he meets other Logicalists, and only by working with them can he hope to bring an end to the threats once and for all.

This is an anime used to advertise a card game, or so I hear. As an ad for a card game, I feel like this anime falls flat. As a piece of entertainment, I say it was good. Yes, there were some parts where I was tempted to drop the anime, but Luck & Logic is not as bad as people like to say it is. It's still sub-par, but its not that below the average.

It was hard for me to get interested in the story. It essentially uses the "retired badass comes out of retirement" plot. It appears our protagonist mentally crippled himself in ... a past exploit that we will never hear about ever again. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for this retired badass story. It just feels like a let down. Potential gone.

Story: 4/10

Art wise, I'm no experienced critic in this aspect, so as long as it doesn't look like what OreTwi's TV animation looked like, then I'm generally lenient (don't get me wrong OreTwi is great in my opinion, but the animation was bad before they corrected it).

Holographic bits an pieces looked cool, but some fight sequences looked a bit different from the normal animation. This threw me off a few times, especially in the later half of the anime.

Art: 6/10

Sound. No expert on this either, but I thought it was great. The soundtrack is composed by Tatsuya Kato (I believe he did Shokugeki no Souma too). From experience, his work is usually something worth listening to. I liked it.

Sound: 8/10

For the characters, Yoshichika (MC), I feel is an exaggeration of the "cookie cutter" main character. Retired badass, check. Mysterious girl shows up offering a contract, check. Goes into first battle and begins to take command, check. Quick to jump to conclusions, check. I love his hair though.

Olga is another character I find memorable enough to mention. He starts off looking like this sinister anti-villain/villain type character that everyone avoids mentioning. MC decides to pry then it is revealed that Olga just has a severe case of chuunibyou. The only thing he seems to be good for is his predictions, which are nearly always accurate. What I like him for is that he gets serves as the straight man to our crazy cast at times. Also, he gets massive development during the last arc. Good character in an average anime.

Other characters are, like the MC, very "cookie cutter" style. Mysterious veteran squad leader. Formal, power by merit girl who gets shown up by MC in second episode. The "Don't worry, Bros I got this" character. Silent sniper. Immortal immaturity. The cute and cuddly girl. Other than MC and Olga, the characters seem to be very common fare, aside from the MC's family(fairly minor characters generally used for comedy).

Characters: 6/10 (because Olga carried this category)

Overall, this anime is a fairly good. Your millage may vary though, due to the abusurd amount of stock/static characters, and fluctuation of plot. There is a harem anime joke in the middle of the anime that really caught my attention though. I like those types of jokes quite a bit, sadly that's the most memorable part of the third quarter of Luck & Logic.

Enjoyment: 6/10

My thoughts. Again. It's not as bad as an anime could be. Scarred Rider Zechs was worse (Just the name of a random anime I dropped). Luck & Logic isn't unwatchable, per se. However, I've mentioned before that there are arcs that make you feel like you want to drop it. It was likeable.

OVERALL: 7/10

Mixed Feelings

this anime is the definition of average. And honestly the only reason I was interested in the first place was because of the dub va for the protagonist.

The plot was nice at first, but I feel like they could have done a lot more with it.
Most characters are just bland and not memorable.
And the epilogue was... Something.
A lot of decisions were made for the story and I didn't like most of them.
But I did like the animation itself, it was pretty nice.

In the end it wasn't anything special or so, but definitely not the worst I've seen. If you have literally nothing else ... to watch, I'd say go for it. But know there are a lot more anime out there that are more worth your time. Unless you, just like me, are here just for NateWantsToBattle.

Warning possible Spoilers

My time watching anime's has certainly made me find some really amazing ones, but there is that point where I do find some really bad or Godawful ones and this is definitely one of them.

The story is set on the human world of Septpia and they are being invaded by creatures called Majin's so a boy named Yoshichika Tsurugi and his other Logicalist teammates along with their Goddesses are sent in to handle and stop the threat.
Now I've seen these type of stories quite a few times and every time they get less and less enjoyable, this was just a great big bore ... to get through the only interesting thing I got from this show was how their suits worked which was by using a Goddess from the world the Majin's are from with a logic card and combing them with a human that to me sounded pretty interesting, but the rest of the show was just awful I couldn't get excited at all and I mainly either groaned or shouted when something predictable or cliched happened and you know an anime is bad when it calls out it's own cliches.
It gladly only 12 episodes, but for 12 episodes it certainly dragged on however despite being a bore fest there were some or one element that kept me going well just about.

The characters are possibly the only reason I didn't quit the show because they were at least half-decent well most of them.
The main character Yoshichika is not really a great example of a character and I even watched this in dub and it was surprising to see that he was voiced by Nathan Sharp AKA Natewantstobattle now Nathan's acting wasn't the problem it was Yoshi himself, he was a very bland person and didn't even try to set himself apart from many harem protagonists that I have seen before and funny enough this isn't even a harem so how did the show mess this up.
Then there are the 3 main human female characters Chloe, Mana and Tamaki, now each of these girls had their quirk Chloe was actually pretty likeable from her upbeat and active personality, even Mana was likeable too since she was shy and had a bit of a dark backstory, then there is Tamaki she annoyed the hell out of me I just wanted her to shut up whenever she got into an argument with someone luckily that didn't last the whole series and she was pretty much settled down by the final episodes.
The Godesse's are actually pretty bland since you don't really get to see them do much other than powering the suits the other's have to use and the names of the Godesse's are Atena, Venus, Valkyrie, Altemis and Nemesis there was really nothing to make these characters stand out apart from their appearances and their slight personality differences so they didn't really do much for me.
There is some other supporting characters too like Yukari who felt like the lovable mascot of the team who gets everyone back on their feet and there is also Chief Veronica who is pretty much like every other female chief I have seen in these type of anime's.
Finally there is the villains who are Olga Breakchild who is pretty much a douchebag longing to become a proper Logicalist who of course gets the evil bad guy Lucifer as his Logicalist and both of these guys didn't feel menacing they just felt like an irritation really.

Now the artstyle was poor I didn't like the combination of 2D and 3D when there were battle sequences it just didn't fit and the same can be said for the monsters too they just looked awful and some of them looked like they belonged in Pokemon which felt very weird and wrong.

The action was poor and didn't last very long which to be honest is a good thing since the suits abilities didn't feel incredible compared to many other anime's I've seen that use special powers or magic whichever you class this as plus the suit's themselves didn't look that great either, what also really caught me off guard and actually annoyed me in some way was the surprising amount of fanservice in the anime and it made me think why there wasn't an Ecchi tag hell there was a scene with Tamaki and Atena who are fully nude and they even show Tamaki's bare nips now I like my fanservice, but this just felt wrong and uncomfortable, I could also say the same for the transformations it was like the animators wanted to woo the Yuri and Yaoi fans with the way those transformations went.

Overall this was a poor anime and I wouldn't recommend it unless you are that much of a fan of cute girls in mecha like suits then be my guest, but for those casual viewers avoid this.
