Full review:
First of all, let me praise it world building, because since the first episode has aired, it got me thinking every time I watch this show of how incredible the world is. It's not a reach for me to say that ... in 1 ep it's event (in my bias opinion) better than Frieren for the whole season. Coming from the writer of Danmachi, I knew this will be a good world building, and it is. If you like mixed mythology, un-answered lore, and classist social system and history to strive for, this is the world for you. [10+/10]

Next, the directing and production quality of this show is STUNNING. I do not say this lightly when I tell you that this show got some of the best directing, pacing, framing, camera work, and lighting of this season. Sure this might not got the most flashiest of scenes, or animation so fluid that Archimedes would be jealous of. But every single second of this show is beautiful in its own unique way. The moving fabric of character cloth details, the sky, the architecture, and the scenery, is breath taking. [10/10]

Lastly, the story and the character. Right now, it's pretty average. I can see people don't like this story and character styling, because it's the same ol secretly OP got bullied in a classist society where some arbitrary skills define your worth (aware). But this feels different, and that's wholly because of the cast. The Protagonist is the main reason of this, he's not some overlly dumbo, nor overyly good, he just, himself. This make many character in this anime shines through in its own way. The close friend are just there cuz the writer want them to be their, there's some reason to it as well (se ep 2), so overall feels very natural writing and story development.
For the future of the story, I can see this expand into a truly wonderful one, because there's an established "end goal", foreshadow big event and lore, and established characters for it to take places. [9/10]

There's not really a con in this show, other than if you don't like the troupe, or you walk in expecting something you shouldn't, like comedy or something. So Overall, this is a very enjoyable show to watch, great potentials, great visual, and impactful story.

My rating as a fantasy anime: 10/10
My rating as overall anime: 9.2/10

If I were to over-simplify this anime, I would call it a non-funny version of Mashable.

MC goes to a magic school but is magically inept, however
People look down on the Mc Because he cannot use magic.
MC is extremely OP without the use of magic. This time, instead of punching things, he slashes things.

What drives the MC is to find a way to graduate to be with his love interest, who already graduated at a young age. Thus, he must endure the humiliation and struggle of not having magic, and of course, he gains the girls' interest along the way.

Overall, this anime is like many ... this season, average.

What stands out is that I enjoy the art and the combat scenes. They are very well done, and I wish the story could help carry them.
The story is what I would call.. "playing it safe." Nothing unique, nothing controversial, just a standard anime with nothing to get excited about, I would like to see where it goes later, maybe there are some dark twists and turns that bring it to life.

For now, it's okay. It might jump up in my ratings, or stay in the average world

I'll be honest idk why this has a high rating at all. One of the most boring MCs I've seen in a hot minute, with the same "I can't use the main power system in my world" gimmick that seems to be so popular recently. Meets the same "you can't use __ so I'm better than you" that's also present in every series like this. Immediately shoves harem in asap. The art is fine I guess, but even though it looks nice it still feels like its missing something.

Character design is boring visual novel garbage, reminds me of a mobile gacha game. Music ... isn't really bad but its just bland which is a bad thing in any piece of media because being forgettable is bad. The story is so boring, without spoiling, its just "climb the tower because I told you to." Which is normally fine, like I love naruto, onepiece, black clover etc, but I mean they literally just want to climb a tower. Again the MC is SO boring like, I would literally bully them.

TLDR: It has the same tropes as every other fantasy anime with a mc that can't use magic. Only difference is that the other shows that use this cliche actually have interesting character, side goals, unique fun art. It looks fine but still feels lacking, the music is okay but unmemorable (bad), Basic ass story too.
