| I hope this skipping/rushing pays off in the end... Overall a pretty good episode and that ending was... Weird. |

 In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit? Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase. Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality. |

I don't see an unneccesary amount of skipping, no rushing either. This episode only cover 1 1/2 chapters. They skipped the war where they used the new swords on all the soldiers and some other stuff. |

elementex said: DooMWhite said: They skipped the war where they used the new swords on all the soldiers and some other stuff. That was necessary why? It was boring and drawn out, we can already infer that they used those new swords. The only point of the war was so Schtrom could take over the empire easier. It's kinda necessary, cuz those generals didn't have any development at all in the anime and they are being treated like some dumb dudes by the Director. And there's the stuff of Sicily realizing she's in love with Shin by that trick of Maria, this is really important to Sicily's development. Edit: And I think they are going to making the romance feel like forced in the anime because of that skip, they are making Sicily way too dependant of Shin, when in the manga she even tried to help Shin fight those last 100 demons(standing closer to him). This stuff doesn't help make the show shine where it's good at. |

Nobody cares about those dumb generals, and that scene where Sicily talks to Melida was pretty pointless. She already knows she feels something for him, that much is pretty obvious. She never even followed up on any of the advice granny gave her. The generals are important, cuz it shows the Worldbuilding and makes the MC not so "godly" and smart when compared to the other characters, I didn't really understand this "She never even followed up on any of the advice granny gave her." tbh. Well, gotta go sleep. |

papsoshea said: How much more proof do we need that Shin is going to stomp the demons in the upcoming war? Lol, dude just ripped out a Kamehameha in this episode. Also, that ED was weird - I instantly thought of Kaguya-sama for some reason... weird. That was Nanami Yoshi, the virtual singer who sang the ED |
 |
| When you have no originality and you want to do something that worked... That ed pls. When you don't have a Chika, don't do it. |
| This was super awesome. |
 |
| Episode was awesome & funny but wth they doing with the ED? Not sure I liked that bit. |
| THAT END THOUGH HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAH HOLY SHIT I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING OH MY GOD |
| this show is so fucking ridiculous. nice kamehameha though. |
| People who are just blatantly calling Shin overpowered in a negative fashion don't seem to understand the difference between characters who're OP just because they're the main character and people who still have principles behind their powers. Shin just uses basic knowledge about how things like fire and wind for example work and puts them to use. Why it's so OP is because he is ahead of his time in this particular world, which is a very valid reason for a reincarnate to be OP But I'm not gonna lie, it's a pretty lackluster adaptation even though I enjoy it. The comedy is on point though |
 |
| watch this guys : https://twitter.com/kenja_no_mago/status/1128495492776652805 the singer is a virtual singer and the ED song was her MMD |
 |
| That ED tempts me to give this show a 1/10. That was awful. Off brand Chika dance. |
| Schtrom reveals his plans and kill Empire leader, taking advantage from the war between Empire and Kingdom! Magic academy and knight academy will be getting group training, and obvious the students from knighs academy showed how arrogant they are, but Shin and Augost thaught them a lesson and also got humiliated by Shin! Obvious the knight who trained Shin is the Sword saint, the stronger sword user! And also Sieg and Chris had to be famous! Shin feeling jealous and riled up was funny, and i think i also was getting riled up, i dont judge the otehr guys, but Sicily is made for Shin! Miranda at the end got the MVP by telling that Shin and Sicily were boyfriends, creating an unconfortable moment and made them blush! |
 |
| i hate this anime so much and it's so bad but i'm still watching it.. |
| Was that a mmd ending? what? |

They skipped the war where they used the new swords on all the soldiers and some other stuff. There's supposed to be a war going on, but we don't see it because it's frickin' OFFSCREEN. I remember those chapters in manga and they were pretty epic. It also showed a pretty big difference in strength when the army chased the invaders up to the capital and were nearly annihilated by demonized locals (not even military, just some commonfolk). |
| Yay next episode preview is out ： http://kenja-no-mago.jp/story/?mode=story7 Sizilien is so cute when she makes a serious expression too when using magic. |
| I frown at recent installments of Persona and Trails of Cold Steel that introduce harem-like elements in the story. We need more JRPGs like the past Lunar series, where there are multiple romantic pairings in the party other than for the protagonist and main heroine. |

The thing that makes me mad is how they are changing the way that the romance works in this show, they are making it a bit cringy compared to the manga, adding some extra stuff and removing parts of the development... aa_bumi said: This anime makes My OP Oni-san magic looks cool. I mean, the king already know that Shin's magic is unusual and different from their understanding. why they didn't tell him to use his magic modestly if they still want him to study at their school. It's like every episode he's trying to show off. I think he already know from the Ep.1 that his magic is at different level. and he still like "what's wrong?" "it just a normal thing" Every character is trying hard to be cool. I mean all their smirk. And there is no relationship between other character, always Shin-Sicily. I hope this anime will be better. hydrogen bomb (it should be a canon blast not laser) next is atomic bomb, and explain how that magic works A lot of stuff from the side characters is removed to add to Shin-Sicily(They even prematurely showed some stuff from the side characters just to focus on Shin-Sicily), idk what the Director is thinking, kinda sad actually. |

| Is everyone outside their group of friends complete assholes? It seems like all the people they encounter seem to be a bunch of jerks except for them. It's kind of boring how everyone in their group is good, I want to see some betrayal and actual character development. They're all so one dimensional. That stupid scene of Shin and Sicily getting all flustered by that regurgitated Anime trope of someone mistaking them for an actual couple. This episode was just okay. At least,we got to see Oliver again. I want more interesting characters since the main cast is pretty boring now. |
| 臭い- |
| @Bibimbapski if I know, even though the protagonist is not the only OP, it is still annoying for the people the lack of effort and vulgar deification. |

At least,we got to see Oliver again. I want more interesting characters since the main cast is pretty boring now. I'll take kenja no mago class s over mha class 1-a any day. We got ditzy loli (alice) cool buff guy (julius) crazy curious girl (lin) milfy seductress ( yuri) pretty playboy (Tony) calm and cool nerdy guy ( Thor) sweet and innocent angel girl (Sizilien) sarcastic instigator bff's of our two mc's (Maria and Aug) And then there is Shin who is a great op mc, loves using his powers and isn't afraid them like a little beach ie: mob psycho, picks his girl from the beginning and doesn't waver, kinda shy kinda corny but cool, loyal, and does what has to do to protect his friends/family. Great for you. I'm glad to know that a show like this is enough to excite you. Not for me though and many others agree with me and have worse opinions. We all have our likes and dislikes. Also, it's terrible to compare this mediocre show to Mob Psycho 100, which is an absolute masterpiece. Years from now, people will remember Mob Psycho 100 for its iconic characters, wonderful plot and superb animation and only a few people will recall Kenja no Mago. Mark my words. Are you seriously comparing this show to a show that was produced by Studio Bones? You are dismissed. |

| The source material light novel and manga has already sold over 3 million copies in Japan, so regardless of what the critics say, Kenja no Mago is a successful work. |

DjangoUnchained2 said: Ehurvaks said: The source material light novel and manga has already sold over 3 million copies in Japan, so regardless of what the critics say, Kenja no Mago is a successful work. True, but lets not let popularity especially regional mean an anime is good, thats a pandora's not worth opening. So was Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody until Silver Link took a huge dump on its' anime adaptation. TBH I wasn't expecting much from Kenja no Mago precisely because of that, but it's annoying how it had a very strong first episode and is gradually going downhill from there. I admit both of these series (in manga/LN form) feel mid-tier (I'd even rate Death March a bit higher) but if even How Not to Summon a Demon Lord can get an adaptation that does not fell like total crap, what the hell is Silver Link doing? |
| For the ED It looks like they used the simple version of MMD instead of the high quality ones we see in other 3D anime (mostly Idol Animes during their performances) It's ok, but this version looks too "Plastic-y". And yea, kinda weird that they decide to randomly do this, lol ___ ___ ___ For the episode review... LOL @ Knights vs Magicians, pretty much the same as Jocks vs Nerds in iRL. And yes, it looks like the gentle shy girl yet again, attracted EVERYSINGLE BOY EVERYTIME again... At least at the end they now realized Shin and Sicily have feelings for each other. So now they'll pretty much back off from trying to get affliction points. ___ ___ ___ BTW, is it me, or does Sicily Blush very often? I think she Blushed at least 5 times in this episode... (full face red blushes...) Also, Maric calling her self "Delicate" made me Laugh... *suddenly a kick appears through my screen* |

I am just confused how you could rate death march higher, it has no plot and it's so boring. How to not summon a demon lord too, it's just random stuff happening with no direction. I rate Death March higher (barely, mind you) because it planted a couple of worldbuilding tidbits (that, again, were mostly glossed over in the anime) which I hope will pay off in the future. Meanwhile, in Kenja no Mago people are so dumb it took a reincarnated highschooler to figure out And demon lord may be random stuff happening but at least it was fun. |
| whats with the new outro, don't understand |
 |
| I hate Demon Lord because it is a harem, and I only like fantasy anime where the MC has a friend of the same gender playing a big role in the story like in Mago, as I grew up on Shounen Manga like DBZ and Yuyu Hakusho and am used to that. |
