after watching first 5 min i thought it was a copy version of harry potter. it didn't prove me wrong. lot of things match with harry potter. like dress up, op ceremony, some of the charector's background etc. hope next episodes don't copy anything from harry potter. overall a avarage episode.

it's weird how they try brush aside that somebody basically tried to get Katie killed. "We can talk about that later", I don't know that seems pretty important to me lol.

I thought the character with blond drills was the tsundere but it was the shy bookworm.

I liked the anime Hogwarts theme and the spells they use look good.

I'm really pleased with this first episode, I've been hearing good things about this story and so far I'm feeling the hype.

Imminently thrown into the anime not knowing anything, but the character just talk about random things. Don't even know their names and have conversations like friends even though they just met. Also random person does evil things to another for no reason at all when she is about to say her name. This is not a good start.

Seems watchable and maybe even slightly above average. I just don't really want to watch another mid school show. Seems to get worse as the episode goes on and the series itself doesn't seem like it has much potential to be decent.

Got through 4m47s of it before dropping.
@nestharus I got to 4m46s before i got sick of it.

Too fast paced and all over the place - it was hard to enjoy the plot because it doesn't give you any time to appreciate anything.

The animation quality is really good and I liked the character interactions in this. Why the ratings so low bruh?

Headmistress Grandma Tsunade-san is hot af.

Absolutely a step up from Chadwick "Strongman" Dumbledore's tenure at Hogwarts.

The first thought i had after watching this episode is that this series is a harry potter rip-off.

Boring. Bland. Predictable. Couldn't stand watching more than 5 minutes.

Really bad first episode. The way the characters were introduced was ass, the way the school and world was introduced was ass too.
Seems really shallow and none of the characters are likeable at all.

This feels like starting at the 2nd season of an anime.

Ok let's see what anime Harry Potter is all about...

Yup, like everybody else said, looks like Harry Potter...complete with Harry (Oliver), Ron (the Veggie farmer red head), and Hermione (the plucky runner girl who likes animals). Looks like ringlet hair girl is Hermione's formal prim and proper side, and glasses is Hermione's bookworm side. Oh yeah, and lets randomly throw in a carefree reckless samurai girl for the heck of it...cuz...samurais...and magic...go...together?!

Joking aside, it doesn't look that bad so far. The animation looks good, but I don't really like any of the characters yet. I don't really hate them either, but some of them look like they might get way more annoying down the road. Oh yeah, there's some seedy background student scowling a lot, I guess he's supposed to be Draco Malfoy of Harry Potter.

That trolls squashed some doggies the death, that seemed pretty randomly excessive...I guess to highlight the real danger? Poor doggies. Oliver's body guard doesn't show her face, that seems kind of negligent...like if something happened, doesn't that open up the possibility of friendly fire because Oliver won't know if she was friend or foe?

Promising character interactions and worldbuilding, but that scene with the troll was confounding. Why was this savage, uncontrollable troll deliberately placed in the middle of a parade in a fortified city, and why was there no one strong enough to supervise such a dangerous creature? It wasn't under any restraints, resulting it in killing two dogs and nearly killing Katie as well. Moreover, why was it simply recaptured instead of being killed outright? If such a beast attacks everything in the immediate vicinity without discrimination, then it wouldn't even be useful as a military animal, thus making it a liability.

Hopefully there's a comprehensive explanation for why this troll was set loose in what looks like an officially sanctioned parade, because there hasn't been any thus far.

The whole beginning has irked me so far.

I can live with it being heavily inspired by Harry Potter, but the actions of characters, how the actions take place and situations are so dumb.

One guy asks people to be quiet so he can read during a parade.
For some reason there's no staff around to diffuse the situation, even though they're parading magical beasts around.
When the Ogre is about to hit, he instead stands around for a minute waving his hands around.

It's like this all the way through so far. If it continues this series is a no for me.

EDIT: Yea, this series is a no go. Got to the middle of episode 2 and it's just not interesting. Many of the characters are annoying including the main character.
