@deg Yeah it's been great but last two episode had heavy cg usage not that it was bad but hopefully there won't be more unless they want to do all the horse movements cg cause it's easier/less time consuming as horse movements are hard to animate.
@MegamiRem true thats what i learn when watching shirobako that horse sakuga is hard to do

@giftedxhands that's the point. When u aiming so high and have such capability, can u have time to care about crowd opinions. And why would u even care about what other thinks if u have different goal. Couldn't he just shut them all up by defeating one of magic user????

you shouldn't but currently he's not at the point where be feels that. it's stated that for 6 years he's been grinding fighting monsters and he's still on the verge of failing even with him working 10x harder than other students. That combined with working extra jobs and constantly getting bullied probably weighs on a person. we can sit and say oh he should be this or that but realistically you have some who don't care from the start about other opinions and you also have some who eventually learn to ignore. he's likely on the verge of his breakout soon

@V1P3R0P idgfa bullying, world is not rainbow, bro he is aiming for becoming magia vendor, u saw that teacher right even he isn't one. Will don't have magic power so it's given he needs to work hard. So what is he even expecting at this point, vip pass for magia vandor to fall from sky for him. He don't even have enough points for higher education. He earned most from academic and some from dungeon and bro wasn't even going to participate in that tornament so what exactly he expected? Watching from side line and teachers give him credits out of pity. Come one man be realistic he is aiming for something even magic people only dream about..

But it is never said that earning points is the "Only" way to become a magia vende. At the end of episode 3, we see Iris, a watcher for Magia vende, recommends Will to be accepted into the tower.

@ejleon not if the higher ups back him up strongly like what happen with kafka in kaiju 8 he was supported by the highest general himself

That’s that anime, not this anime.

Not good to unfairly compare anime, that have nothing to do with each other, and are different stories altogether.

Follow the events and context that are happening in this anime story, without thinking they have to follow other anime stories.

Also, not good to insert your own personal morality / opinions on to a story that someone else is telling, you’ll just box yourself in to a specific theme.

In this anime, basically the Principal (because she was personally impressed), a teacher, a student, support him, but even the Principal knew he was an extreme exception to the rule, and she allowed the teacher that was most against his enrollment to test him, with him barely passing his test.

She was restrained by the academy’s policy and rules.

So would say otherwise?
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

You mean the love interest, since the watcher was told by her to do so, yeah that doesn’t count. Means basically nothing if he can’t prove himself.

You got like 4-5 others that will be testing him too.

Not everything can be solved because a higher up recommends you or helps you, in fact, that could actually cause him more problems

@V1P3R0P sorry my bad im saying that way is pure luck imo. 2 of the magia vendor were against the idea. That wind one decided to wait for tornament and he even said that if someone is strong enough they would make there way up here anyway, which clearly will is not doing rn. And our fmc decide to give amazing pose to camera and sit like st*pid b*tch.

You are seriously impatient arent you?

You really want the MC to have little to no obstacles at all and expect all plots to be without plot twists and plot armours. Too bad, but this is not one of them.

He doesnt become a magia vende by beating one guy. He just makes a point that hes not to be messed around and is not as incompetent as people think he is.

Its only 1/4 that said "Hard Pass". The FMC not saying a word, doesn't mean she said No. It was maybe not the right time to give her vote as a dramatic effect towards her character, which I too am personally irritated of. And we as audience already have an idea of what her answer will be. So its basically 2-1-1 (Yes - if he can catch up - No).

@deg You didn't pay attention to the anime or missed the ending scene where the "watcher" talked to the love interest and said that her choice was impressive, which is the watcher following the love interest's wishes, meaning the watcher is just doing her bidding.

And you have this opinion like everyone listens to so called "higher ups", that does not happen in reality, nor does it happen in anime.

I wil continue watching the story the writer / studio is presenting, not demand they follow what I or someone else thinks is better

@MegamiRem You should read what people say better and pay attention to the context.

I said the anime is in the top 20, not that it was number 20.

And I was expressing a personal opinion, just like you were, no harm in that.

did you not watch the last episode lmao. the event only happens every other year. he participated two years ago and got mocked for using his strength instead of magic. they called him a cheater and threw stuff at him. they called it the worst grand magic festival of all time when he participated. so this will be his 2nd festival he's participating in. also if you've paid attention he's very close with the dwarves 1. because they are similar to him in the way that they are hated due to them being hand to hand (sword really but you get the point. physical rather than magic fighters) combatants that are looked at as barbarians and 2. because they've accepted him and like him as well. nobody has encouraged him to use his physical strength other than professor workner. the headmaster allows him to continue to go to the school but she isn't fully sure what his potential is. so nobody other than a handful of people have any faith in him so to me it all logically makes sense. just doesn't seem like you're in favor of this storytelling

@ejleon the watcher is free to decide for herself its implied that the love interest did not interfere with the watchers decision

err ethos, pathos, logos says following authority is common even on ancient times most of the world is vaccinated during the pandemic and only few are antivaxxers or rebels for example

im not saying the writer is not free to do what he wants what im saying is my personal expectations of the story based on my own subjective interpretation so can we stop this now? its like you do not want any criticism of this show at this point heck is it wrong for any fans to have expectations of what they consume?

im even considering continuing to watch this show now that i know more spoilers about it thanks to this thread so do not ruin it more for me

You didn't write anything complicated that someone need to pay attention to understand context lol. Anyway you could have just said it's not at 20 but at "xx" rank but then again it shouldn't be higher than 16 cause if it was inside top 15 you'd say top 15 not 20. So there's still 15 other anime above it. I'd seriously like to know what 15 other animes in ur opinion is better than this. Also yes ofc it's ur opinion and there's no harm. I wasn't ridiculing/belittling/harrassing/... u and genuinely asked out of curiousty as to what 15-19 other anime could be better than this one, this season.

@giftedxhands I watched 6th episode and that was the reason why thought that plot literally make no sense at all. He is doing this for 6 years so he definitely at least got 2 tornament in which he only participated for one.called it worst u say. He had totally chance to make it called as, most surprising or most unexpected fastival even by non magic user winning again magic Don't u think so. Tell me when do think this looking down on him thing started ??? Do u think it was yesterday, 2 days ago, month or year. It was there from the very Begining. People would never respect him, acknowledge him, see him as same as them, right so what do u think he can do. All he can do is prove them wrong, breaking literally every stereotypes and all and show the world that he also deserves place in this world. He is also aiming for magia vandor. So how much time do u think one need to realise that much simple that he need to fight back. How much brain one need to understand that if from the start not a single person was in my favour then why would crowd chere for me, don't u expect u will get mocked. Just what u expect??? And what did u and him expected ??? that he will find jin and make a wish and boom happy ending. Be realistic man. He should be glad that still some are in his favour. Now if u are justifying every single sh*t than tell me one thing. He went to tornament for win, where people look down on him, mocked him, right??? So in your opinion he leaving the tornament was the f*cking greatest move ever???🤣🤣🤣. Look bro u can't justify his actions at all, he expected become magia vendor without even participation let alone winning compitition??? He expected to sit backed and hoped that one day angle will come and save him. Be realistic man.some day ago Ind won against aus in Olympic after 52 years. Imagine then leaving tornament even without fight ?? What would u say wow what a heroic stunt, make sense if they haven't win 52 years than how would they now, good job . If that's your mentality then u are f*cked too. All this summarise as he was nothing but bluffs when he said he will become magia vandor, and he became total p*ssy in that tornament. Man who don't even have courage for standing for himself.And what the make sense again, that he didn't participate to become magia vendor, he didn't participate to meet her love, he didn't do a sh*t but than someone disrespect dwarfs food and bro said let fight in tornament. MAKE F*CKING SENSE ME DON'T U THINK SO????????? don't u be delusional, u are type who thinks if it's anime than it true, no that's not how it works. That's what makes different between masterpiece and random sh*t stories. Because otherwise anything people put together make sense.

If that's your mentality then u are f*cked too. All this summarise as he was nothing but bluffs when he said he will become magia vandor, and he became total p*ssy in that tornament. Man who don't even have courage for standing for himself.And what the make sense again, that he didn't participate to become magia vendor, he didn't participate to meet her love, he didn't do a sh*t but than someone disrespect dwarfs food and bro said let fight in tornament. MAKE F*CKING SENSE ME DON'T U THINK SO????????? don't u be delusional, u are type who thinks if it's anime than it true, no that's not how it works. That's what makes different between masterpiece and random sh*t stories. Because otherwise anything people put together make sense.

agree to disagree homie lol. this Mc is a specific type and it just seems like you're not a fan of him after 4 episodes. totally fine.
@giftedxhands Idk if im expecting too much from your brain to understand very simple things or what?? It's not about fan or not fan, it is plot holes, he literally work hardest but than don't participate in tornament, he literally don't mind bullying but then got trauma from mocking of crowd from tornament, which one can easily see coming, he wanna be magia vendor but don't want to change the world's thinking by proving them wrong and than suddenly, miraculously bro remember that there is girl he loves and defeats man called most close to magia vandor. Then bro also remembers that nope he can't fight against lot of people watching him. Nope he got crowd anxiety. But then again someone mocks food bro goes like f*ck everything im beating the sh*t out that mf in tornament. Problem is even author Don't Know how he want to portrait the mc, strong, weak , op, struggling, filled with worry, strong willed , weak willed, p*ssy, courageous, kind or mercy less. It changes modes according to episodes .

It is annoying, yes. He's a magic-less who's trying to get a title where it's usually for those great at magic yet he's not doing something extraordinary to prove that his magic-less does make him suitable for such a title.

Well, at least for these four episodes.

The dragged story of his underdog-ness is unbearable to the point I always watch this show with double speed except when MC is kicking someone's ass.

@ejleon the watcher is free to decide for herself its implied that the love interest did not interfere with the watchers decision

err ethos, pathos, logos says following authority is common even on ancient times most of the world is vaccinated during the pandemic and only few are antivaxxers or rebels for example

im not saying the writer is not free to do what he wants what im saying is my personal expectations of the story based on my own subjective interpretation so can we stop this now? its like you do not want any criticism of this show at this point heck is it wrong for any fans to have expectations of what they consume?

im even considering continuing to watch this show now that i know more spoilers about it thanks to this thread so do not ruin it more for me
@deg Suggesting the watcher look into someone, is interfering with her job as a watcher, because it is not letting her find people herself, it is asking / telling her to look into someone.

It is rare to find a leader that would contain such qualities that would fit ethos pathos logos, again you are expecting far too much of people.

In history, it is usually the mindless gullible masses following like sheep, without thought or question, letting the “leaders” (usually corrupt) do what they want, but those who resist the leader’s authority (usually branded as rebels) are those able to think for themselves.

I never said whether I liked or didn’t like the show, so for the sake of argument, I don’t like the show. I am not defending the show, I’m explaining what happened and saying that it makes no logical sense to say “this is how it should happen”, because the writer is telling their own story.

You are free to have your opinion, but so am I, and I’m disagree with your opinion, but it seems you can’t handle that.

I’m done now, it is obvious you refuse to consider anyone else’s perspective.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

@MegamiRem You should read what people say better and pay attention to the context.

I said the anime is in the top 20, not that it was number 20.
You didn't write anything complicated that someone need to pay attention to understand context lol. Anyway you could have just said it's not at 20 but at "xx" rank but then again it shouldn't be higher than 16 cause if it was inside top 15 you'd say top 15 not 20. So there's still 15 other anime above it. I'd seriously like to know what 15 other animes in ur opinion is better than this. Also yes ofc it's ur opinion and there's no harm. I wasn't ridiculing/belittling/harrassing/... u and genuinely asked out of curiousty as to what 15-19 other anime could be better than this one, this season.

You claimed it was not complicated or hard to understand, but you made it far more confusing than I intended it to be.

Top 10
Top 20
Top 30
… etc etc etc

That is how I would organize it, so in that context, it could be #11 to #20, and still be top 20. This is different than you assumed.

@ejleon youre the one preaching religiously there is a proper way to think of how to consume anime shows like interpreting it the way the writer wants it and not what the fans expects or wants, you cannot stop fan expectations and thinking of other better possibilities for the story

@deg You keep saying you want to just stop talking in this forum, but you continued the conversation, even after I said "Goodbye", so be it.

"preaching religiously", this is an obvious false characterization you are trying to use to discredit me. I think it is unbecoming to insult religious people or any other people in an attempt to attack someone you disagree with.

You can say whatever you want about any anime on MAL Forums, but the writers and studios, I seriously doubt that your single opinion is making any difference in the broad scheme of things, that is, in reality, to change what they write or animate.

Also, you don't get banned for expressing opinions, nor was I against you expressing your own opinions, in fact, I would fight for your right to express your opinion. But would you do the same for me?

You refuse to consider my opinion and you are agitated by people disagreeing with your opinion.

You refuse to acknowledge that you might be wrong, and you have not said anything to prove that I am wrong.

We cannot solve this here, so let us just drop it and agree to disagree.

@deg Your insults have gone too far. To be very clear, "psychology" and "psychologists" have done nothing but cause major problems for my family and people I know, so I would not wish something as awful as that on anyone.

This conversation is over.

The academy serves as the first step in those learning about magic, though the academy also trains magic technicians and doctors. Students study at the school for 6 years and can graduate to the Upper Academy in the Mercedes Caulis by obtaining enough credits. However, one can skip graduation and move on to the Upper Academy immediately through one of two ways; the first is by creating a new magic and the second is by being scouted during the Great Magic Festival. As both of these requirements are difficult, many students graduate by earning enough credits.

Credit System
Students must obtain at least 7200 of the 12000 total credits available from the 3 different areas; writing (筆記, 3600 credits available), practical training (実習, 3600 credits available), and practical skill (実技, 4800 credits available) in order to graduate to the Upper Academy (since Will can't get practical skill credits he is forced to get all credits in the remaining two areas). Students must obtain 1000 credits a year to move on to the next year and if a student doesn't choose to go to the Upper Academy they are allowed to graduate with 6000 credits. In order to gather practical training credits, students absorb mana (魔素) emitted by dead monsters using their wand, causing it to record what monsters the wielder has defeated so it can be checked by the academy later on. However, as Will can't use magic, he is forced to take monster drops with him to prove that he killed monsters.

According to Liana Owenzaus, the upper year students still at the academy are "inferior" and are "leftovers" that have failed to create a new magic or be scouted. In Ignor Lindor's case, he is the only Elf remaining in Ligarden and is ridiculed by his fellow Elves for that fact.

Don't u think the way plot is st*pid?? First let me clear one thing, i absolutely don't hate this anime at all. It is literally one of the best anime of this season. Good animation, good action, avarage story (not new only that's why). But plot kind of don't make sense. Like we all know will have super natural physical strength. He may be strongest in class. And still he couldn't earn anything till now. Like what the hell he was doing past 3 years(idk remember how many year his school or college has).like he is smart, i mean in study. he work pretty hard for exams so he does good in written exams. So only question is about magic, and the kind school he is in, im pretty sure that showing flashy magics couldn't be only way to earn credits, like there no way that show magic and earn points is only way. I m preety sure that there would be task based exams, or defeat certain monsters, finished something or like that. Like im sure that he could do just fine using his raw strength and skills. Like he was able to land one hit on the person who is called, close to magia vander. So still if noone knows about him than I think entire blame fall on him. Like u should have countless opportunity where he could make people acknowledge him and shine. Like he made 2 teacher and even principal to do that. So what was he doing all this past years.Like he made promise to become magia vander, and he still care about people's opinion and all. We are talking about becoming of king elites standing on the peak of world. There is no way u can do that with that kind of attitude. I mean story is way to close to mashle, but in mashle mash is ready go against anyone to achieve his dreams.thats the only way u have.buy as for will what he did all this past years and why still he has this kind of attitude. I mean he himself said u earn credit based on skills u display. So why he still have this mentality? I mean u can't become top with this kind of mentality, like one of most important events coming and he is thinking about what people will think about him.like what is he expecting, organised totally different tornament for people who don't have magic power or something? Again absolutely no hate for anime. But it just feel weird to have mc with kind of mentality and attitude for story like this.

You criticism is based on ignorance tbh. The reason he probably doesn’t have that much credits is because more than likely the tests involve doing actual magic lmao. Do you think they would have tasks at a magical academy that aren’t completely magic based? My theory is he has only been able to attend for so long because there is just enough credits being allocated for activities that involve slaying monster. He obviously is good in that department.

The second part of your criticism lacks empathy. how would you feel if you were the only one incapable of doing something that seems normal for everyone else? It would obviously kill your self-confidence and self-esteem. You want him to act perfect, or just like every other MC that is super confident with no anxieties. No, showing how uncertain he is of himself is surprisingly good writing here. Even though he is finding his footing as a warrior, he still feels skeptical of himself because in the end, he still cannot do magic.

Let me give my perspective as a man, this story is just for simps. Who can relate to a main character whose only goal in life is to impress a girl? Nope, not me.

Like I said in my review, Asta and Naruto would be ashamed, yeah, they're simps, but they have actual dreams that they strived to achieve, they matured to such a degree that they earned much respect.

Unlike our Will here, his only goal in life is to be reunited with his childhood crush, and watch the sunset together, no grand dreams like saving the world whatsoever. It irks me.

In order for the story to go further is to have a deep back story for the main character, but the backstory is just a childhood promise, like what? Come on, at least put some mystery into it.

@V1P3R0P no one i mean he not even taking seriously, like his current not even enough to go upper level education and he wasn't even gonna participate in tornament, just what exactly he was planning??
@Chits_99 That sounded dumb to me too. He's in his last year. He even knows he's screwed, but has no plan. Instead, thanks to cheap writing, "conveniently" a racist dumbass barges in the tavern, fight happens and the guy "forces" will to participate in tournament. Something Will should've done anyways, but the author wants Will to go edgy-mode and join to enact revenge! I suppose Will will then be scouted by the 4 and allowed to advance despite low credits. How lucky and convenient! Such are my thoughts for now.

@thunderkitten13 Come on, this show is badly written and hella contrived.

Will chooses, of his own accord, to go to a magic academy. Where he will likely be discriminated against for not being able to use magic. Where his self esteem will be challenged. Because he wants to fuck his childhood friend. That's his only reason. I don't think that deserves much sympathy. It's also not an aspiring story about an underdog challenging the big guys to show them that he can be as good as them. Because he simply will never be, he is competing on a completely different field than the rest of them. And if he were in a combat academy, he would be the ace, so everything is by his own choice.
