Let me tell you a solid bro, don't ever judge an anime with it's author (maybe do judge it but) judge it more as individually only the anime itself. A lot of guys like you new generations make this mistake I see. Bro as a Human being you are not omnipotential. As you are not good at every subject test you take or in every sports, authors are the same. They are also human and not good with every genre they make..... So don't judge it only with that alone. And I don't know Bokuto Uno, never heard of him (sorry). And it's probably better if the main characters died, they should've died in the 1st ep, then it would've been interesting.
Before commenting on #42 I read all the previous ones thought I might be wrong for not Liking this anime but after reading them turns out I was right. Majority of them didn't like it. Thats 90 out of 100, only 10 enjoyd (maybe less). Liking the anime is totally up to you, you can like the LN or the anime, not judging your preferences. But telling people their individual opinions don't matter that is not right. You can't survive like that. Better believe it. Everybody matters bro.

And who is Koala12345? Tell me the truth, it's your background 2nd account, isn't it?

From novelist Bokuto Uno, comes his 2nd anime adaptation, 7 years exact after Summer 2016's Nejimaki Seirei Senki: Tenkyou no Alderamin a.k.a Alderamin on the Sky, with this show, which has the Kage no Jitsuryokusha a.k.a Eminence in Shadow vibes from the PV alone.

The prestigious Kimberly Magic Academy, home to students of all kinds, and has Harry Potter's Hogwarts feel with all of the mythical creatures and magic elements with its parade. Though with a dispelling magic spell, an orange-haired girl almost becomes embroiled in a major accident with a troll going berserk, which apart from a group of students seeking to work together to take it down, instead, a samurai girl eradicates it with ease, at the expense of her strong Innocent Color power.

The main MC being surprised by the samurai girl's magic power is one thing, and with the entrance ceremony, the introduction of Headmistress Esmeralda and the school that prides itself in freedom and results, a total resounding time of 7 years where only 80% of students make it out alive and the 20% consumed by their own spells, it's no joke when life and death is on the line. That, with the welcoming banquet in the likeness style of Hogwarts, finally introduces the MC crew of Michela McFarlane, Katie Aalto (the girl who got saved), Guy Greenwood, Pete Reston, Oliver Horn, and the samurai girl Nanao Hibiya, who comes in as the special recommendation after being saved by Michela's father, who also a part-time lecturer in Kimberly. The 6 of them sure get along nicely, regardless of their differences.

The entrance ceremony is over, and Oliver rests with Pete as his roommate, Though Oliver wakes up early to find a Gwyn convert operative by the name of Teresa Carste supervising his every move, it's Nanao taking a bath in the public in front of the boys' dormitory, which he insulates with a barrier. Though she reminds Oliver of someone familiar, his familiarity with Nanao will be one to shape his school life.

A rather interesting fantasy show worth keeping my eyes on, and J.C.Staff has been on a roll recently. I'll intrigued by what this show will have to offer since I've never watched Alderamin before.

Here we go again with the fantasy school anime, this one gives me Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha x Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute vibes. This episode introduces us to a world where magic and these deadly irreversible techniques known as spellblades, most people that use this technique are cryptic people that don't reveal themselves in the public. 

The episode does an excellent job of balancing action while introducing us to this world and for once I'm intrigued in it's world, the worldbuilding in just the first episode is clear of what any fantasy show could hope to accomplish in their entire run. While there are several exhilarating battle sequences, there are also moments of quiet reflection and mystery. The end of the episode leaves me with numerous questions and an eagerness to continue watching for the coming weeks I have to say. The opening also gives me major Harry Potter vibes

One minor flaw is that the episode occasionally introduces a few too many characters and concepts at once for the typical fan, which even had me slightly overwhelmed at times. However, this can be forgiven as the story gradually unfolds and provides a deeper understanding of the world and its inhabitants. 

Overall, with its average animation, intriguing characters, and a well-established fantasy world, it successfully hooks me and leaves them craving for more. If you're a fan of fantasy adventures with a touch of mystery and captivating magic systems, this is definitely a series to come to check out every week!

Knowing JC Staff I know they gonna fumble going forward.. I mean that's just how they work. Though kind of a generic art and plain setting to be honest, so I wouldn't really care if this do get the short end of the stick later.

Watchable for now, but that's just it.

FINALLY. The REAL anime Harry potter is here. Man I wish I could’ve streamed my reaction to this first episode because I’ve been waiting for and pushing this Light Novel for so long. Tears in my eyes man.

J.C staff did an amazing job introducing you to this incredibly complex and intricate magical world as well as the characters. This series has one of the most detailed magic systems ever and I can’t wait for people to really experience all it’s got to offer.

The art, animation and pacing were all very solid. When it comes to JC Staff you just never know but this time it seems they got it right. They been on a roll since Railgun T and it looks like this could be among their best.. I just pray the quality stays this good throughout.

Pacing is going to be the big test for them here. The first volume in particular is quite thick and has a lot of world building. I hope they don’t pull an Index.

Cautiously optimistic.

Where are y'all finding this series? I only know of two legitimate anime services left for English viewers, and uh, neither one seems to have this on it............

Is there some kind of bootleg site out there that just INSTANTLY subtitles stuff? Or am I missing something here?

Nothing was explained and everything was open ended. Most of the flashbacks had zero tie-in at all.

Not bad… but not great. With proper world building it could be alright. Not really in love with the characters especially the main protag. It’s hard to know how this one will turn out but it’s got 2 more episodes to pull me in before I drop it.

3 episodes test does not work on long running series such as battle-shounens, sports anime, etc.

There are rare cases like Gundam ZZ which takes 20 episodes to start.

For Reign Of The Seven Spellblades, it currently has 12 volumes and they are at fourth year, which is estimated to end at around 24 volumes, making it a long series.

I tend to recommend 12 episode test if the LN is expected to exceed 15 volumes. 2 episode test if LN exceeds 5 volumes or 4 episode test if LN exceeds 10 volumes.

And to tons of people who are using one episode test:

As mentioned by post #171, one episode test does not work for long series.

I only recommend one episode test for short series that has 12 episodes or less than 4 volumes of LN.
