Koujo Denka no Kateikyoushi

Despite being one of the most promising candidates, Allen fails the final exam for the position of royal court sorcerer, forcing him to abandon his ambitions and return home. Adding to his woes, he does not even have enough money for the train fare back, stranding him. With help from a former professor, Allen secures an unusual job offer: to be the private tutor of the daughter of Duke Howard, one of the kingdom's most powerful nobles.

The girl, Tina, however, has one critical flaw—she is completely unable to use magic. Though her academic prowess is nothing short of prodigious, intellect alone is not enough for the fast-approaching entrance exams to the prestigious Royal Academy. Moreover, countless magic instructors have tried to solve her problem and gave up in the process. To help Tina overcome her limitations, Allen must dig deeper into the roots of her magical inability, and, in doing so, uncover far more than he ever signed up for.

8/10 for this anime
Yes, I will give a little review for some points in this anime. It started with Allen being a private tutor for the Howard family with his 2 little students. The development of both of them is good enough to be able to keep up with ALLEN perhaps. As for the storyline I'm relaxed, it's good but not bad either, I don't know why so many people hate it. For graphics and animation, I give it an A because it is very good!.
The drama in this anime is quite simple and simple is good enough. I hope Season 2 is produced as ... soon as possible. The opening song is very good and meaningful, the ending song is quite good. THX

Mixed Feelings

This show is a hard one for me. It had a great premise and I was amazed at 1st episode. They use magic but they have early 20th century technology like cars, steam trains and central heating. The MC is not a teenager but late 20's mature man, the spell system was great and the animation when they are using magic was looking great.

Then episode 5 came and went and with it the quality of anime dropped drastically... I will speak more about this in story part of the review.

Animation and sound - animation is average with the exception of magic use. You can tell ... that they put efforts into battles and magic spells. All of them were enjoyable watch. Music is industry standard, which is a bit disappointing as this is fantasy and I expected some sort of memorable epic music. Oh well....

Overall - animation and music is industry standard with the exception of magical scenes.

Characters - I like Allen as a character. He is late 20's and despite losing the prestigious place in the kingdom he does not let that beat him down and looks forward with optimism. He is a tutor now and he is really good in his work, watching him feeling satisfaction while watching his students grow is priceless. Tima, Ellie and Lynee also grow and develop their skills and personas under his guidance. The rest important ones are Lydia, who is his future wife and she is very yandere about it, Caren who is his adoptive sister and Stella who is Tina's older sister. They are all fine in their own roles, with only Stella getting some development.

Overall - as far as Characters go MC is a very good one, a nice change of pace form OP character or edgy teenager. The rest are unfortunately not so great, depending on your taste in character tropes. Allen has to carry the whole show and it shows...

Story - Now, the story's premise is great and while it is only that - a private tutor to the Duke's daughter, it works. Having to teach Tina and Ellie and seeing them grow and overcome their obstacle is fantastic watch. Some hated this part becasue they do not know how relationships and crushes work, but despite that first 4 episodes were quite enjoyable. Then episode 5 came out and... the show quality dropped from 7 or even 8 to downright 4 or 5. They introduced a lot of other characters, a yandere future wife and added harem tag on top of everything. Add to that jealous royalty and increase idiocy of everyone by the factor of 100 and you will get 2nd part of this show. My only question is: why? Why a reason to turn this into shameless harem? Where female characters lose all their intelligence lusting over MC who can see all of that, but being responsible adult declines all of that. If this how remained what it was in the 1st 4 episodes and just stick to the three established characters and their journey this would be much more enjoyable show. Now as it is, it is a mess.

Story - Strong beginning then everything crumbles after episode 5. At least for me.

Overall grade - 7. And that is being generous, I personally gave it 8 becasue first 4 episodes and some of the later story points are really keeping with me but the rest is a mess. Realistic grade for something is 6 to 7, it was a promising show that sink into generic harem show really fast. Which is a shame as MC is great, setting is great, magic system is fantastic and the battles were good.

As for recommendation... This is a really hard one. Giving how it is in the later half I would say that if you dislike harem shows and all the tropes it comes with one this is an easy miss. If you like fantasy setting and do not mind harem that much I would say give it a show just to enjoy magic system and battles alone.

They have set up cliffhanger for the next season. While I doubt it will get it at all, I will watch S2 just to see if the story will improve form there or not.

This anime has 6 strong female characters, unfortunately none of their strength is their own. Instead it’s given to them by the mediocre male lead who ‘has’ to do romantic things with them to share mana (despite having a more than friends relationship with a different girl who he’s promised he wouldn’t share mana)- have seen it done before and better done but whatever.

Half of these 6 girls are around 11-13(hoping 13) and despite what the horrible self insert writing of the male lead would have you believe, they are written well for children - because that’s what 13 year olds are - they are ... bratty, sulky and annoying. So why is this 17 year old kissing one of them? Why is this 17 year old who is their TEACHER not shutting them down and entertaining them? This trope isn’t even done well because he just doesn’t address it at all and acts confused when other adults point out he has a way with young girls (aka children) then continues to treat them like they’re ’special’.

Moving on to the other female characters who are older and more ‘acceptable’. Lydia who is the only one the same age and is his ?fiancé? Is a brat she acts the most violent of all of them threatening him all the time.
They truly mastered writing 13 year olds and didn’t change the template for a 17 year old hot head.
Most of the time it’s understandable since he’s being openly affectionate with other girls right in her face other times it’s over petty things and it’s exhausting which just destroys her righteous rage. She’s supposed to be the strongest swordswoman in this world AND a dukes daughter but she carries herself with the grace of a misbehaving child.

Then the next 2 girls are around 15-16 not too bad and they are by FAR the most mature girls. So obviously they have the least screen time because this anime is for child lovers. Both are super talented but “couldn’t” reach their potential without the influence and intervention of this - again - mediocre man. One is also a dukes daughter but couldn’t use her influence to help out her friend?

His sister is also the same age as those two and isn’t (thankfully) a love interest. Until the last episode you think she’s the only one who is powerful because of their own hard work but no this is shut down when he mana shares with her and one of the 13 year olds in a fight without touching either. Which raises the question why did he ‘have’ to kiss that 13 year old but supposedly not the sister and why can he now share without touching at all. Badly written.

Now onto the male lead, not only does he not voice his own opinions, thoughts and/or feelings so you can easily self insert. He somehow had tons of influence in high society even though he’s adopted into a family of beast folk (who obviously are oppressed in this world).
He gets hired for jobs he has no interest in and no experience in. These jobs are for dukes. The people closest to royalty without being royal. Hiring someone with no qualifications/ experience. Who on top of it leads on their underage daughter and other daughter. This happened twice.

Normally I can watch anything but this was truely a struggle not to dropped and if it didn’t keep showing in my watchlist when a new ep dropped I would’ve dropped it. Don’t waste your time the little good (cool magic system, not even fights) can never make up for how horrible the rest is.
