| Production went downhill. If it's like this in the 4th episode, my dude, I'm scared |
| It was pretty satisfying to see Will smash the two lackey's faces in. But this whole "laggard" and "no-talent" shtick is getting old, and irritating. If it weren't for the sheer high production value, this Harry Potter knock-off series would be absolutely shit on par with most trash series, because the story is the exact same, without any substance besides cliches and tropes. |
| Kinda going downhill plot wise jumping into the worst Shonen trope, a tournament arc. This episode wasn't all that good either at least not really compared to the start. The whole "let's all pick on this guy" trope is already getting old. |
| I wish I could say oh, another Draco wannabe stuck up asshole, they already did that complete with two lackeys like the last Draco wannabe, I'm not falling for it again. And yet, it still played me like a fiddle because it pissed me off and I was so happy to see Will bury low rent Crabbe and Goyle face first into the floorboards and I can't wait to see him kick the crap out of Julius. Although in my defense, they did a great job selling the mood with the direction, music, and performances (so much fun to watch the latest Fairy Tail ep and then switch over to this to see Natsu's VA doing a fantastic work being a total asshole.) I don't remotely buy him not entering the contest without this plot contrivance. It seems like the only viable path to reach his goal he's spent several episodes proclaiming is all he wants and has spent years working towards. Whatever emotional baggage he's carrying around the series has shown his resolve should be enough to get past that and do what needs doing. Oh well, even if the writing's never better than mediocre I'm still in for the action and music. |

| The anime took a definite downturn this week. I know he tries to be meek all the time, but it is actually the reason that he is not accomplishing what he needs to do. STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT THE OTHERS SAY, since they're going to say it no matter what you do. Keep that anger within you, and that is how you will accomplish your goal. Sadly, this looks like it's going to go down the stupid rabbit hole of the MC trying to stay nice up until a point, and that is just not that entertaining anymore. |
 |
| Man, that setup is exactly what I was looking for. Cant wait for next week |
| Here we go, another cocky student like Sion, guess he just have to learn the hard way. Hell yeah the classic Shounen Battle Tournament Arc is about to start!! |
 |
| Well this episode would've been super boring if it wasn't for the beautiful art and animation. Why are all the top students in this show such assholes? And their lackeys all have one-note personalities as well. I wouldn't be able to tell the bullies apart if it wasn't for their hair colors. And of course, it's no surprise that Will is forced to participate in the tournament arc in order to get his revenge. I am a bit of a sucker for tournament arcs though, so hopefully the types of exams administered will be interesting, at the very least. |

| After a week break, I expected something more than what we got. Which was more or less a set up for the Grand Magic Festival and an introduction to the new villain. He's so comically evil it's hard to take him seriously, but at least he's got the magical power to back it up. Doesn't look like it bothers Will very much, though. Overall, the first mediocre episode of this series so far. |
| So similar to Mashle yet hundreds of times more cringe. Can't he just punch the lights out of all three of them instead of letting one of them go nuts freezing everything up? Then he could have dragged them out and dumped them in a dumpster. Easy peasy. |

| as a manga reader this discussion in particular is fascinating xD can't blame anyone for their impatience yet character growth, plot development and lore reveals don't happen at the beginning and the adaptation anime adaption is very "slow" cause it doesn't adapt a lot of chapters per episode. There'll be more insights later on I promise. Wistoria is a shounen and follows a lot of genre tropes admittedly but there's depth to it the anime will eventually catch up with. |
| I chased fame, fortune and CANDY during MALoween 23 Main :        Bonus:  |
| I hate these kind of moronic main characters where they are goody two shoes, hard working, six jobs, has a pet which only goes with pure hearted people, loved by everyone, have female admirers which he doesn't even realize exist. Complemented by black-as-black evil no-conflict characters so we know who to root for. And just so there's no further spot on his resume, he won't fight the villain here ... naah he'll wait for competition. Disgusting. Nothing worse than a show that takes place in a school with competition as main subject. Already seen and ultimately boring setting. This show had some better art style than most trash these days, but it's no different than any of them. We are suppose to suspend our disbelief to such a level to believe there are no rules in this place and no people making sure there's no unrest. So why have a school anyway. Just stomp into that tower right away if you can freeze people around the city without anyone saying anything. Just stupid. |

Nothing like a good old tournament arc in a battle shonen where our underdog protagonist shows the world what's his worth. We've seen it million times, but somehow we still want to see it again.
| @Swagernator you just described the most regurgitated setting to base an anime on. While you might want to see it again, I am so sick of it on the very mention of the idea I get diarrhea. |

I mean... why did he hold back his punch? I love this show overall, but the insistence to have his character just incapable of fighting when people point out he's not using magic... it gets old real quick. He literally doesn't have a choice, he can't use magic. Why the fuck is he hesitating? What's he supposed to do, shit out a spell?
EDIT: Why did I have to skip 3/4 of the epsiode to get to anything that was relevant again? Was there even anything worth watching there? I skipped in like 2min increments, I sure didn't see anything that seemed worthwhile...

| @Prox1mately but the main arc is the competition. How else are they going to hype up drama for two episodes that might be interesting in whole art 17 episodes down the line. don't worry they'll remind is some more about this upcoming battle, then stall some more with side characters only for the whole thing to fizzle out. |
| Pfft... "Bad guys" in this show are so comically bad! They even have the "look at my crazy evil smile" faces. Ridiculous! +All of them seem retarded and are already guaranteed to fail miserably when facing MC. Like, was Will really in danger in that Pub? Despite having his hands frozen, it seemed like he could easily kill the ice-guy at any moment but didn't. Now that we know of 4 faction scouts, it's safe to predict how Will will advance despite low credits. After humiliating the ice-guy, Someone will vouch for him. I guess I'll hope this show won't be that painfully predictable. Maybe we'll get some twist? |
| This episode introduced us a lot of characters, that I feel like they will be important in the future, especially since they appear in the opening, and they all appear to be quite strong. Julius has to be the most annoying character I've seen in a while, he can be even worse than Sion, right from the get go you could see he is a show-offer, and in needing of external approval. The animation was really good as usual, special at the beginning with all the spells, it was amazing to see! We also got a lot of info from the setting of that world, and it seems we are now getting to a new arc, with the festival coming up. I wonder why Will didn't just humuliated Julius right at the tavern, because it was clear the ice wasn't strong enough to hold him. Was it just an excuse for the plot to move on? Also, I'm really liking Colette's character, she really seems to be supportive of Will, even if he really can't spell a single magic, and is always trying to help achieve his goal. A really supportive friend. Will's roomate also seems really protective of him. I really wonder if he's a male, since many pointed it out last episode, and the voice actor really is ambiguous. Anyway, not really found of the "comedic" parts of the show though, not really my thing. But it's for sure a good anime, and I wonder why is the score going lower each day, since the quality of the episodes, so far, has been the same. |
| Time to dwarf this iceboy. |
| . |
| Got major Danmachi Ep 6 vibes from this episode. |
This is just the moment I was waiting for, I just got emotional, hehe |
| Did he pick a spoon up off the floor and put it in the draw or am I imaging things? |

| @dragynfaerie Thank you! Someone else noticed. What the hell, Will? They're trying to distract from Will's villainy with the paper thin elite assholes, but this is unforgivable. |
| What a bare-knuckle brawler. Just up and quits for posterity's sake then knocks them both the fuck out. 10/10 can respect allowing them to draw first as the larger flex against the mob characters. I don't see much in the way of consequences. As what? Are they going to really let anyone know they got wasted by a bunch of "dwarves". Or, worse, that one guy they all like to step on in class? Nah, Will can do whatever he wants here. Entirely his show. |
 |
| Looking forward to ice-jackass to put his arms and head to the floor and apologize. Their shop definitely got messed up, but maybe the magic kid can fix and also likely appreciate putting those jackasses in their place. Not sure why he didn't punch the Golem, maybe he knows a punch isn't enough so didn't bother. Or maybe he has an issue where doesn't like attention, that's why he can do so good with writing and alone in the dungeon or 1 on 1. Kiki <3 |

| Will... I need you to fuck them up. Stop holding back. You can take them all out by yourself. But, now we're going to the Magic festival. Can't wait for that. |
