I'm with you here. Really enjoy episode 1. I even thought this just Yuri Bait at first but found out it really lead to Yuri route later. The drama queen is the turn off for me. They even sacrifice one episode just for the drama queen act before fighting dragon. They want to put more emotion in each episode and keep dragging the time left.

Unfortunately have to agree with OP. This certainly isn't a bad show, but it had such a good potential IMO. Shame it became one of those "forgettable" shows.

OST is good though, and certainly worth listening. 
the story telling was better with than Lycoris recoil and the title of this anime pretty much tells you what the plot is about
Lycroris had average (at best) story-telling. Don't know why this show being "slightly better" than average has to be mentioned. Achievement? 
I've read the title, so? Doesn't make the show any less forgettable.  
Funny enough Lycoris is more popular than this show, and is thus arguably less forgettable.

The first 2 or 3 eps were great... but there was no plot in the end.

Most of the motivations for the characters are just dumb...

The whole brother arc was terrible, Laine was meaningless to the whole story. 

The only thing that made sense was Euphilia. 

I agree that it tried to be many things and failed in most of them.

It's your fault for expecting it to be anything similar to Lycoris Recoil which was just plain awful but that's neither here nor there. I'm two episodes behind but I've enjoyed all the episodes I've watched so far. That red-haired maid is probably my favorite character so far.



I don't even know what you're on about. You're pretending as if the anime advertised itself as something that contains one genre. We were teased with potential conflict fairly early into the story. And wasn't Anisphia literally on a rampage against some weird animals in the first episode? Wasn't that the first scene as well? You make it seem like any of this should surprise the viewers when it has been teased from minute one.

People compared it to Lycoris Recoil cause the main characters had very similar personalities, but this is turning out to be a poor man's lycoris Recoil
and falling off but that's neither here nor there.

The main reason people are turning on the show now is cause of the 180 in Anis personality and the utterly boring political drama going on, the show advertised itself as Anis not caring about what the kingdom thinks of her and finding her own route for magic with some Yuri mixed in but now it's just forsaken the title of this show and is going astray.
The anime is from a source material like most anime are. It existed before Lycoris Recoil, which is an anime studio original. I see people making a lot of assumptions that aren't correct. This is supposed to be much more political and I think people had the wrong impression of Anis' character (again a difference in understanding if you never read source materials for any show whatsoever). At least, I saw her more as having highly deep-seated existential crisis while hiding under her natural cheerful personality. You can get way more details into what she's actually like, but I think the anime did try to make it seem like a facade underneath tons of insecurities. The author did butcher her character a bit though so I'm gonna be honest there. It's an actual magical revolution of the world spearheaded by the 2 MCs. I think people were focused or understanding a different definition of revolution. By the way, don't trust the titles so much because official translations have always been known to completely change things around or localize things in a way that changes the understanding of the material. It happens often. Fan translations have also gotten much worse in quality imo than even 10 years ago.

The guy mentioning LN apologists (1st reply in this thread I think) can be ignored because again it's a comment completely based in ignorance and lack of information as well as lack of understanding of how the industry works. Depending on who is on the board, who is directing, and other decisions from the ones in charge, an entire anime's tone can be changed from source material, they can choose all the wrong things to adapt from the source, there may be negligence in reviewing work done early on, or they can change a character's personality to fit certain standards (Tensura is a good example of differences through toning down the story a bit, making it a bit more wholesome/light-hearted and comedic compared to what happens in the manga and LN. Don't even get me started on how much darker the original WN versions of these stories are). That being said, this story indeed had its problems, but that had nothing to do with the way the anime was adapted. It just had bad direction and pacing issues toward the middle/end.

In addition, with the whole boom of popularity in the industry internationally compared to even a decade ago, a lot of official translations are completely changed or localized from the literal meaning of the title (often misunderstood). I didn't see the original japanese title so I couldn't tell you, but if you've seen the reincarnated hero king anime, it's not "master the blade" as it's more like mastering the battle arts. I can't remember the whole thing but I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually say "from hero king to extraordinary squire" in Japanese. 

TLDR: Yes even the books were not so great, but has nothing to do with the actual underlying problems with how the story was directed or anything of the sort. Understand that anime has a lot of things involved for it to work since it's mostly an ad for the source materials and you'll never get consistency unless they really pour more episodes, time, and budget into it.

the Anime has skipped too many details on other characters' opinions regarding how does princess Anis look like in their eyes, such as:

1. How does Anis look like from her Father and Mother point of view?

2. How does Anis look like from her closest friends (illya, Titly) point of view?

in episode 2, Anis actually almost got Exposed by Euphie lol Euphie blatantly asked Anis, "Who... I mean, What are you really?"

in episode 4, Anis said
"While I am still I am, I need to obtain that Dragon magic crystal at any cost!!"

it's shown that she low-key knew that one day she might have to abandon herself for the sake of princess Anis, fulfilling her responsibility as a noblewoman, or as the daughter of her new biological mother & father

Fast forward to episode 8 & 9, we can see how weird Al-kun and Anis conversation

it's shown that Al-kun low-key knew that there has always been something 'off' about his royal sister, that's why he's quite angery the whole time, he keeps shouting Anis full name. on the other side, Anis keeps beating around the bushes by being vague the whole time

Anis told Al-kun, "I am is I am"

As a result, obviously Al-kun got even angrier and triggered by his royal sister dodging attitude

in episode 9, Anis grasped Al-kun's hands and said to herself

"if I was able to live a normal life in this world, you wouldn't have to suffer like this..."

in episode 11, even Tilty is shown sacred shitless of Anis's new mask, she was like "why are wearing that face...?" even her closest friends can't see the real Anis. it gets worse, Anis is shown exposing her true self in front of everyone

"I'm the princess of this country! I'm Anis Wynn Palettia!!"

her mother, father and even illya are also sacred shitless of the real Anis now

Regrettably the Anime completely skipped the part when Anis's mother talked about how does Anis look like in her eyes to Euphie and Lainie

Anis is a woman with multiple faces and everything changed when the fire nation- I mean when Al-kun attacked, in LN vol 3 it's explicitly written on table of contents that her masks are indeed crumbling to dust

...I don't know, I read the novels ahead of the anime and I still felt that volumes 2 and 3 were very weak, especially compared to volume 1. The conflict with Al was terribly clichéd (and I don't think he was a good villain), and Anis' mentality change (or when her mask crumbled) felt really off. The fight with Al also felt like a shounen battle at times (someone bleeding to death in the corner and they're just arguing grandly back and forth for too long, explaining everything to the viewer), which I didn't enjoy; overall I thought the Algard arc was very weak.

So yeah, I don't think people's complaints about the show are because of the way the anime adapted it, I feel like those problems were already present in the light novel. I'm not criticizing what you wrote, though, you're 100% correct in what you've said; I just wanted to write how I felt about it to get my thoughts in order. I still have to finish the last 3 episodes of the anime, though, so who knows - maybe Anis' change will feel more natural in the anime.

Also, this is sort of unrelated, but who approved the decision to spoil the vampire reveal in the colored illustrations at the start of volume 2??? That was a terrible decision.

Yes, and G-Witch season 2, and Birdie Wing season 2. We're basically getting at least one Yuri anime in each season this year. I fully expect the next couple of years to be a Yuri desert, but we dine like kings and queens this year.

I consider Magirevo to be easy wish fulfillment, but I still enjoyed it a lot. It just doesn't happen often that a Yuri anime reaches anything resembling a conclusion, including a confession and multiple kisses, and has more than decent visuals and a fantastic OST, and it's not just slice of life, school drama or comedy. The writing is not the smartest, but all things considered this is still an entry in the genre that I feel like I can be proud of.

I didn't hate it but it has a lot of small flaws that continue to add up as the series goes, and the third arc was just kind of a mess for me. happy for the actual kiss in the show, but the Euphie becomes queen by... becoming a spirit contractor despite Anis not wanting that arc was... not great? It felt really convoluted and melodramatic and not all that well explained why any of this was necessary. 

also, they should have kissed in the sky while flying over the city.

These are just the people who want an anime to meet their own expectations bro
I admit the end was not the best case scenario but it was the right one(?) because of how euphie's character was developing.

She wanted to save anis from the world which is exactly what she did. And anis had to accept it just like euphie accepted Anis' help

Yeah i think LycoRico got for more famous than it should've been but it is still one of the most enjoyable anime I've ever watched. And in terms of entertainment, It literally has everything right from subtle comedy to tragic backstories and top class execution.

But i see what you're trying to say it might have changed the whole scenario for other anime that might or might not come after LycoRico. Well maybe the s2 won't be as good and evens out what had been established by the 1st season, who knows.

LycoReco was intended as a standalone and now they are trying to milk it so quality almost surely it won't be as good. It is kind of a hard series to milk and Chisato kind of lost a ton of best girl polls. But it kind of proves Aniplex is still on top of the game. Kadokawa cannot compete no matter what Re Zero fans say since LycoReco sold more than double Re Zero and Konosuba in today's climate, so Kadokawa will have to rely on mass producing shows for now.

I don't think it ever tried to be comedic and barely any of in it. It was largely action focused

I don't think they are milking it. They did hint the existence of the male LycoRico organisation so they'll probably build the story on it.

It isn't a comedy but it did have subtle comedy bits with every now and then which made it a lot more enjoyable.

But anyways I don't really mind Lycorico getting a new season over most of other anime because i know I'll end up enjoying it xD

Aniplex will pretty much always milk stuff and meddle with their shows. They milked SAO and Fate to the point they have cross their ending points and doing bad at the box office. When Demon Slayer got viral, ufotable pretend that the fate franchise didn't exist and went all in on Demon Slayer.

Even during Summer 2022, as soon as Kojima was promoting Lycoris, they likely diverted all marketing from Engage Kiss and pretend it doesn't exist to push this. And likely diverted any marketing from Kaguya and 86.

Aniplex has a ton of executive power over shows vs Kadokawa that is too divided between too many companies. Media Factory cannot just take budget away from something like a project from Fujimi Shobo.

While I was disappointed as I think the show didn't match its potential I hardly thought it was terrible.  It did have an identity crisis, wish there was more than 12 eps to flesh out the world and characters more.

I will admit it could have been handled better, but by no means it's the worst of the season... Still I hoped it focused more on the Magicology and Magic like at the beggining, but instead it went into drama that got dragged even though I heard they rushed the ending...

Because until now I still don't get if Anis can't use Magic or not, since she uses Dragon power (magic?) or when she says she is magicless is she talking about elemental magic or something? What about the supposedly Dragon knowledge... they never mentioned it again or was it just the hability to use it's power?

Now I'm conflicted if there's a sequel, because if it won't focus on the above, it'll just be a fantasy/magic anime heavily focused on romance/drama (it still can have it, but please not the main focus) and that isn't really what I was looking for when they gave us the first half of the season.

Personally, MagiRevo was not the biggest anime disappointment this season. That dishonorable award goes to Spy Classroom.

GangsterCat said:

Is this anime about comfy Slice of Life yuribait while inventing magical tool stuff?
Is this anime about serious political conflict drama?
Is this anime about fighting strong opponents with flashy power ups and beams? a battle shonen?
As of Episode 12, this show is anything but yuribait. 

Now after seeing various comments online, I got the impression that for viewers the series was at its most enjoyable when it had Anis & Euphie in cutesy SOL moments. And that was reflected here on MAL with the show enjoying a 7.80+ rating during the first nine episodes.

Then Episodes 10-11 happened, where the MAL rating fell below 7.80. One positive review said that the shift was akin to "let's roleplay a PG-13 Game of Thrones." Except, the show handled the political drama so clumsily that I can't blame people feeling that Anis' personality took a turn for the worse amidst the contrived conflict depicted in the latter episodes. And the showrunners seemed to realize this by sweeping under the rug the paper-thin politics and upping the yuri to eleven in the final Episode with not one, but three kisses.

For me, the biggest disappointment was how they dealed with Algard's crimes... He attempted a coup d'etat and murder of a high noble, and was sentenced with freedom. The girls he tried to murder forgave him the next day... This was BS.
All they need to do was say Algard was condemned to some time in prison. And then, AFTER he get out, then we talk about how he regrets what he did.

Anis and Euphy duel also seemed as just an excuse for a battle animation... and an unimpressive one. I feel like the whole situation leading to the battle could be solved by them just talking to each other and explaining their intentions, this could bring more yuri and better romance, and that's what most of us came for.

None of this is true. Maybe you could interpret the girls smiling as having forgiven him, even though they explicitly state that they don't, but his plan wasn't a coup, Lainie is not a high noble (unless you're referring to Anis, but then she could also be accused of attempted murder), and his sentence of hard labor in the borderlands, exile, and being stripped of his title and inheritance hardly constitutes freedom. What he did was egregious, but he received a fitting punishment, especially for being the crown prince.

wanting any series to be like LycoReco is such an insult I can't even begin to describe
LycoReco fans are probably just idol fans anyways. Story itself doesn't deserve its high sales.

As for being"the biggest disappointment of the season", you're free to feel that way, but I don't think expectations were very high to begin with. A number of sequels aren't living up to past seasons (Tokyo Revengers), and Spy Classroom flopped so hard it's easy to forget it was one of the bigger shows coming in to this season. Personally, I thought High Card had a strong first episode, but it's been all downhill since then.
Spy Classroom got over hated cuz people think it is a harem so they must review bomb it. Show is okay. Biggest disappointment would by far be vinland saga season 2. Almost feels like watching a different show and has none of the highs of season 1. Tokyo Revengers dragged and got repetitive.

Why do you think every score you disagree with is the result of nefarious score manipulation? Maybe people legitimately didn't like the way Spy Classroom was executed. What is the excuse for scoring lower than every other "harem" show save Fruit of Evolution and the dog show?

Spy Classroom itself wasn't that good a show but only an idiot cannot deny that social media itself is filled with score manipulation since there is always a group that screams "harem" or "ecchi" on the top of their lungs like som sort of f8g. Vinland Saga Season 2 also score season 1 which shouldn't be happening so it is declining, and basically crashed on polls. Pretty much nothing happened in season 2 vs season 1. As for this show, if majority of comments are shipping threads, you can tell it is not getting carried by the story.  Not to mention a huge portion of the audience laughs at this stuff. Especially men from other countries.

So, no proof? Okay, sure. I don't believe you, but whatever. As you're clearly an expert on this, do the "men from other countries" also engage in score manipulation against the same sex stuff they laugh at in the same way the "f8g"s on social media do against harems and ecch?. Also, what is a "f8g"? I'm unfamiliar with that term. Could you explain what it means?

Certainly not the first or last to throw my trash opinion in the ring but here goes:

I agree that it had a strong start, plus it was nice to see that Anis's reincarnation backstory wasn't the forefront of her character and was more a light coating to her motivations for wanting to free everyone with magic. Brother-kun going absolutely crazy because of sibling comparison and "unintentional sexy vamp powers" was...a choice to make for what could have been a rather cool antagonist/anti-hero before being like "you are stripped of all importance, please don't come back for the rest of the series thanks :)". Best girl of the series is definitely Tilty, sees through all the bs and just *gets it* like no one else; Ilia is close second.

I now further have to agree that the final episodes...do indeed fall off. I mean, like most drama-related...well drama, a lot of problems are created artificially because no character wants to talk to another about their problems/feelings; yes I am aware that they eventually do that, but it happens a bit too late imo. It starts with Anis deciding to kill her own happiness to be queen, which LITERALLY EVERYONE is against for one reason or another; Euphie's obv distraught from Anis holding it all in (duh drama), and so she determines to annul Anis's right by... completing a magical ritual à la the first monarch to live forever and eventually lose everything that made her make this choice in the first place. Anis is, very rightfully so, absolutely furious at this.

Now I just want to take this time to mention that the reason Euphie does this is to establish an olive branch to the "spirit-faithful" to accept her since magic is a classism tool (which by the way the nobles mention is what keeps the masses trust in the nobles and they fear giving them magic undermines that but also we see in the fight that pure magic+magicology is more powerful than magicology by itself also also you don't think the monarch enriching the lives of the people and therefore the kingdom WON'T keep the masses' faith? Either way what's the issue??), but then her and Anis decide *together* after TALKING IT OUT (and kissing 😲🤭🥰) to say "f u" anyway and just do their thing. So why then, pray tell, did we go through all that bs and fighting IF YOU WERE GONNA TELL THE NOBLES TO PISS OFF AND WATCH THE REVOLUTION REGARDLESS. No seriously, they're really trying to paint Euphie in the right here and it just...doesn't work! Because all the problems Anis and Euphie had with the others' resolve could have been completely avoided! Anis thinks she needs to be queen because she doesn't want to be useless or disregarded by her parents for not having magic, despite being a genius and wielding a different form of magic, and dreams of freeing the world with accessible magic; meanwhile Euphie doesn't want Anis to stop being who she is or stop the technological classism revolution she'll most definitely create, so she resolves to usurp her role (fine) but must also lose her humanity through immortality and eventually fade into nothing eons after forgetting that she forgot about Anis (not fine). Either way, the problems are alluded to being easily resolvable: Anis becomes queen and, JUST LIKE IT HAPPENS ANYWAY, tells the nobles to piss off and watch the revolution OR Euphie becomes immortal but Anis is gonna research undoing it or becoming immortal herself. So what was the point of these last few episodes; to draw out a point that could have been made in a single, still emotionally raw, conversation? It's lazy writing, and I have better standards.

Also a final aside, the handling of the Yuri was...weird. It felt like being gay was a foreign concept to the show's world, like no one talked about it aloud and it felt very strange. But that's the thing with fantasy stuff like this: even though you create a wholly new world to play and create stories in, that doesn't inherently have to have the problems ours does, you wanna speak so much on contemporary issues that your new, unadulterated world must now as well. I dunno how to phrase it, I just want the characters to be openly gay without the whole subtext of "well it's based on European noble life, so heirs and courting balls and no gay"

Anyway, 5/10, not worse than Eiyuu-ou thank God but also not much better. I was hoping for more 🤷

my overall impression of this show is boring, there are many episodes i don't enjoy watching, just enduring them for the sake of closure. too many unnecessary drama because Anis wants to have the cake and eat it too, thus ignoring Tilty's realistic solution to escape the kingdom and chose to abandon her "researching magicology" dream instead.. Where is the logic in this? how come abandoning your whole dream is better than realizing half of your dream (in which all she would lose is her princess status)?

More or less agree, though I wasn’t a big fan of LycoReco much either. About half way through the season here the show completely changed direction, characters suddenly morphed into someone else, and possibly the worst aspect was how unbelievably rushed everything became. There was no time to flesh things out so they just squirted out a bunch of material to arrive at a point in the story they wanted to be by the end. 

I couldn’t make it past ep9. I’m just done with this show lol
