This shit is so lame. Looks like another show hyped up by idiot LN readers for the 427th time here on MAL, which inevitably fails to live up to the hype.

Just another reskin, trying and failing to stand on it's own.

just another underwhelming episode. over halfway to the end, and there's no hope for this getting saved anymore.

So is that all for Pete's arc? He actually a reversi? Can change the sexes? They showed how powerful Pete can be with Tornitrus spell. But what else can Pete do for those reversi status? To Oliver benefit? As i expect there'll be a fascinating way to starting up the new part of the story, after the death of one of the grand enemy of Oliver, and i truly appreciate how they do something shockingly wowed with that on this.

Anyqay talk about enemy, having their little talk amongst them about one of their circle died i find it funny when they kinda starting to blame each other especially since headmistress talking all the mighty about it. I do wonder what's her plan to mitigate the situation, or she can actually have none?

Back to the magic school, there's a secret event held as a good entertainment for people like Pete, and many else. There's also a broom lesson too, which ofc Nanao found something precious there for Oliver. Then don't forget the Oliver nemesis introduced as one of the weird teacher once again. Since he's the master of magical engineering, kinda, he might have more than one of a kind of the the traps and might be so difficult for Oliver to finish that one off.

So, what's next?

After the spectacular reveals from last week's episode, we get to slow down a little, with 2 major events.

First, the brooms are all following Nanao around, it's almost like they want the best physical specimen to be the one to choose them. But she picks the most rebellious broom of all, and it's a match made in heaven as they sail off into the skies much to the despair of the teacher!

Second, Oliver realizes Pete is a Reversi, and he's gotten invited to an event for the others with sex based magic gifts (!!!) So now Pete has "their" people!

The performance was a treat, that voice is just so beautiful and hopeful.

Yeah I thought reversi was a board game played with black and white disks but today I learned that it also means gender bender (or something like that). For a moment I thought I had missed that Pete was a girl but that change happened in this episode. I'll see if that adds anything substantial to the anime but Oliver did say it will help with his magic ability.

Beyond that we saw a scene with the 6 remaining antagonist but there may be also a student involved as towards the end he was, for some reason, pissed off that Oliver and his group of friends were getting along.

Ok. I'm gonna ask this question wherever I can cause I NEED ANSWERS PEOPLE!!

If Pete can change sexes completely, does that mean he can get pregnant? I imagine the answer is yes so my next question is: What happens if he changes back to male while he is? Does the fetus disappear along with the uterus or does it lose the placenta and die? Can Pete control his/her changing yet or does he/she need to learn quickly?

I have no problem with Pete changing sexes but have you considered the implications, people?

Also, nice to see Guy doing something. For once it's not Oliver saving the class.

This week's episode went very quickly, and so much happened. We get introduced to brooms, I just love how they're treated like living creatures that need taming rather than just tools. That is a very nice touch.

Oh and Pete's reversi magic was the last thing I was expecting, but I think it was handled very well. Oliver was made to be a very supportive character. I just hope they can keep this up. I just wasn't expecting that there would be so many transphobic people here though, that kinda shocked me really.

As for the singing, that was pretty unexpected too, but was a nice addition. I also laughed pretty hard at the final scene where that guy is watching the main characters and says "It pisses me off". I wonder what that is all about, I'm sure we'll find out next week though.

Overall, very good episode, loving the direction this show is taking.

Oh come on. They knew this was going to grow up the numbers considering 2023 and beyond will be full of wokes. The past 4 years or so there was barely any new animes with this thing and that is from someone with over 400 animes watched minus smut.

That depends how you define woke.
There is very little LGBT content in the LNs, magical humans who can change their sex are not relevant to our current reality (emphasis on reality, wink, wink :)

However, as depicted in LNs, mage society is oppressive to non-mages and demihumans, in addition many mages themselves becomes victims, willing or not, of the domineering ethos of "success and progress at any cost" so if you use the most common definition of "woke" as in "current society is inherently designed to oppress therefore mechanisms should be develop to disempower the oppressors and uplift the oppressed, by force if necessary" then there certainly is an undercurrent of that in the novels. It is not crude in your face propaganda like you see in Western works, though. 

You have to realize, though, that the emphasis of the LNs, for all the world building, is bad-ass magical battles.

I mean the more badass magical battles the better. I haven't even watched past episode 3 cause I'm starting to dislike watching shows weekly. I'll binge it when it's done I just got a vid in my recommended talking about this and that and trans and stuff I just came here to see what people thought of it. Yeah spoiling myself but idrc.

You know, when Pete went and said "My body... It's so hot..." I told myself, "He's going to turn into a girl."

And when it actually happened, I let out the heartiest of laughs.

i only came to the episode discussion to look for the inevitable "woke" comments


and unfortunately i have to be honest... while anime has been doing this kinda thing FOR DECADES, its hard NOWADAYS not to sometimes wonder what is and isn't a result of current times, especially since there are plenty of recent stories of Japan buying into woke stuff


... well at least anime has a leg to stand on either way..

Nobody forcing you like any aspect of any character in either of the those shows. My point is whether you like them or not has nothing to do with their importance to the story or character development. Objectively Pete being significantly affect by his change on a emotional and physical level. It present new opportunities and problems for him to overcome. That's no different Kiru's situation in Heavenly Delusion.

Those teachers are really heartless. Also Pete suddenly change from male to female was unexpected but it looks like it gave Pete some boost up in his magic power. Also it looks like trouble is brewing for Oliver and Co at the end. I'm sure they can handle it. Can't wait for the next episode. Really enjoying the anime so far

Genderswapping for characters is not remotely new to manga or anime. Don't assume it is. It is old. Case and point, Ramna 1/2 and Maze, are both early 90s to mid-90s. I think the author actually took inspiration from Takahashi, as it seems that Pete can go back and forth and isn't stuck as one or the other. We are still not sure in the anime what triggered it, if anything.

As a plot device I would imagine that if they got pregnant that the pregnancy would prevent them changing back to male.
The other likely plot device is that if they changed back to a male they would still remain pregnant as a man.

So we got a Kimberly version of Gay Club today, huh!? Complete with it's Uta-hime(-san?) as well.... Let's just hope this doesn't have it's own dedicated strings of number dedicated to it soon (IYKWIM). It's futile to hope, I know. The doujin community is just that quick to take actions after all.....

Well, there's definitely a dedicated tag somewhere in the doujin community (especially the yaoi ones) for this.... But, just imagine if the prego continues even after changing back to male.... Will it came out of the tiny hole we (male) had? Ouch.....

1. first of all this anime is not about gender bender in the first place
2. there is no merit for anime company, especially we in asia not crazy about your LGBT and woke thing
3. the most important thing, this anime is BASED on Light novel which is released at 2018

also there is anime that are gender bender and are loved by many people which is Onimai.

I'm already old man and I have watch anime from detectuve conan first released. And I still love anime from the bottom of my heart regardless of genre
