| Predictable but Will managed to use that sword infused with magical powers to take down his foe and help them escape. This whole experience was something he won't forget. Will and Sion seems to still have a rivalry of sorts although this episode only gave them short time to fight. No doubt Will has gotten much stronger since the beginning of the show. He's a grown a lot truly. |
 |
| I mean seeing those pikachu faces were nice and all, but would we know how Will miraculously gained that power? No, I guess. I mean the actual purpose was to just let Will defeat the main bad, such that those fellow group mates actually do start respecting him. Barring that, I think they also wanted to introduce that main old man and the small blonde guy, who for some reason… already took interest in our main guy. Too much aura xD Jokes with Lihanna aside, are they even allowed to fight each other within the school premises? I know that was for a cool ending, but lol. Well yeah, the series is a bootleg of so many things we’ve already watched. Story wise there is actually nothing new, maybe this series is trying to foreshadow a lot of things, so there’s that, but that’s it. Not even sure when we’ll be able to get to the core of these things, as it isn’t like the source is too far ahead… one more season and we’ll catch up. The most annoying thing btw was these guys who were bullying Will, just because… that’s all they can do. This thing won’t go away, I know, but let’s hope. Animation carried this one, now whenever the second season comes up. |

| The Evil Grand Duke is almost at the cusp of its last breath, all it needs is the gem and Rosti's reminder of Wand and Sword, with Sion's magic to make it his own unique magic sword, and defeating the monster by his own strength alone. But even with the Grand Duke's defeat, the horde of Sentinels and Dukes have Lihanna's party all vulnerable, until the save by the king and the strongest Magia Vander of Light Sovereign wand Aaron Masterias Oldking, whom he acknowledges the party's perseverance, and Will being intimidated by this rather unkempt Supporter boy of Finn (whom DanMachi fans will recognize the link from Finn Deimne, leader of the Loki Familia) finally marking the end of the all-student Praxis test gone horrific. With no leads over the cruel death of the professors, Lihanna is relieved that her party is safe and sound...and proceeds to munch on food to replenish her magic that's meant for Will...or she's just a big glutton in general. Julius's whining aside, Will's magic sword takes the attention, and even the wielder himself doesn't know what's happened. The errand boy who definitely met their enemies and recovered part of a sword that they were experimenting on, Finn taking care of the Swords while Headmaster Cauldron takes care of the Wands, he's definitely got his attention on the boy who wants to become a Wand. And it's no doubt that everyone feels the same about Will, and Sion still risking himself to challenge him, continuing the fight from where they left off at the Grand Magic Festival. The next hurdle to reach the Tower: their graduation exams, and it starts in Season 2. This show is the literate definition of "animation carried the show". It's good, but if only you see it as a standard Shonen anime, and nothing else. |

| Man, what a seasonal this was. Incredible from start to finish. May not have been the strongest story, but when you have production values like this it doesn’t matter. Congrats to Oomori sensei on another series with multiple seasons. I can’t wait to see what direction we go in in season 2! They did it, they said the thing! “Wand and Sword” I don’t mind a replay of last week’s incredible fight at all. Starting the episode off with the rest of the group’s perspective on Will’s transformation was dope. But man things looked like they were going to get real dark there until the Magia Vander King showed up. Easily took out that whole horde of demons, but why was he in the dungeon in the first place? The conspiracy in me thinks he might be in on things but I could just be overthinking it Considering how messed up things got, losing only students is a blessing. 11 dead faculty is obviously tragic, but this could’ve been a lot worse. Good to get a little bit of the gang just chilling and being silly even if it’s in a hospital bed. Lihanna giving Anna a run for her money in snacking lol, she was tearing those apples UP. Of course it’s because of the magic expenditure, right.. 😂 “Supporter” name drop?! So Oomori sensei literally bringing some direct callbacks to Danmachi into this one, interesting. Imagine if Wistoria ended up being a prequel to Danmachi or something lol. I got a bad feeling about that supporter who follows the Magia king though, something just feels off with the two of them. And man why is this dude Sion always trying to fight, fresh out the hospital and he trying to challenge Will to a duel lmao. Go sit your ass down somewhere please. That’s a wrap folks, I didn’t even know Will and Colette were in their last year, so season 2 I’m guessing will take place after the exams.. if so, really curious about what the gang will be up to. Also a lot of questions in terms of who’s behind the attack, the flashbacks to Will as a baby, what the principal is up to, the supporter etc. This story just getting started! |

| One of the best of the season imo. Classic battle shounen done right. Characters are cliché except MC but they are all enjoyable. Amazing animation in most battle scenes. Surprised it's not getting the attention Demon Slayer has. 8/10 |
 .Go watch Gintama boyo/grill My discord server for gaming and anime/manga: https://discord.com/invite/4mqXfNEJ9A |
| Will is the focus of the story but everyone around him is the focus of the character development, Sion especially. Learning to accept different points of view and own weaknesses. Definitely want more development for Will in season 2.  |
| Huh...more characters, and more questions, of course! So this was the troublesome bunch our two mysterious antagonists were avoiding. So is Dumbledore...uhmm I mean Masterias Noah the strongest of them all? Aside from the headmistress of the Academy, he's the only one who fits our trope of wizards, he's an old geezer! LOL So Finn of the Finn tribe huh? And what about the sword/s the kept yammering about? And what the actual eff is the spell/skill/talent/etc Wiz anyway? Where did Rosty go after dropping that crystal thingy? Season 2 finally confirmed, so something to look forward to in the future. 7/10 Enjoyed it so far, I hope the worldbuilding gets even better next season. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Some real important people showed up and I'm quite interested in the small guy from Finn tribe who can't use magic but has vast knowledge of the dungeon. Maybe Will is a mixed breed since he is not small but can't use magic. Cute Lihanna moments with her getting hungry, eating a lot and making excuses while looking cute. Kiki adorable once again. Ended the season in a nice way too. Good season with neat action and world building with superb animation/visuals. Hope we get more focus lore/world building next season and also get to know more about Will's origin. Maybe more Elfie too which I doubt. Looking forward to s2. |

| They're still listing Rosty's VA as ???? What's up with that? I kinda feel bad for the VA, how do you just not list them in the credits for the whole show lol Also wow that's a lot of Will plushies at the end of the ED |
 |
| And with this we reach the end of Wistoria. This episode hinted us at a lot of lore behind the series, that we are probably getting to see in the already confirmed 2nd season! Really excited about that! I always like when anime that I like get a new season. From the flashbacks that were shown once again in this episode, I realized that Will's mother must have made some pact to make her own son unable to use magic, and instead, be more of a swordsman. This is also implied later in the episode, where the characters notice how Will's body is already pratically recovered, when he was the one that took the most hits, which shows that there's something behind it, and it's just not hard work. It seems Will's mother believes that Sword and Wand should be one, to achieve true power, that was shown to us in this episode. But it seems that being able to combine the power of Magic and Sword is not something mages can do, and is instead a unique power, that, as of now, only Will has been shown to do. It is also implied that Elfie knows about this, and gives more depth on why she wants Will to join the Magia Vander so bad, because his sword is needed for something big. Why Will doesn't know it, when it's implied by Elfie (I mean, Rosty, but at this point it's super obvious Rosty is just a Elfie clone) that he should "remember" it. Later in the episode we get to see the "Finn" boy, that is actually from a tribe that doesn't use magic, with the director of the academy, and we can see he is a poweful person, because she was really nervous when she understood that Finn discovered Will, and it's stated that Finn is the "leader" of the ones that use swords. With the combination of the fact that they don't use magic, but yes swords, I wonder if the pact that Will's mother made was with a person from the Finn tribe, because it would explain why Will was so fixated on Finn, and why he can't use magic, but excells in using swords. Not only this, but it seems like Finn and the academy's director want to prepare something to "overcome the sky". This whole sky thing was teased back in episode 3, but they didn't really developed that anymore, so it's good to see it back. Honestly, this opens the doors for a lot of interesting lore that can be developed in season 2, and I honestly don't know why they didn't do it sooner. It seems like this season needed to be a 2 cour anime, because this first season seems to be only an introduction for the anime, more than anything else. And that's why I'm having a bit of a hard scoring this anime, because while episode 1-3 and 9-12 were really good, and had an interesting plot being developed and introduced, episode 4-8 were just boring overall, with episode 4 just being unbearable to watch really. But at the same time, I have the feeling the 2nd season will be a lot more interesting plot-wise, and that made me really excited. So I'm really between the 7 and the 8. The anime was for sure a fun watch, the plot and the characters were not that good overall in my opinion (Sion is such an unlikeable character), but the animation was really good, and the fight scenes and the whole setting of the anime were interesting, and seeing that the plot is getting better, makes me really excited for the 2nd season! But I will need to think about the score for this one a bit, because I was thinking about giving it a 7, but this last episode made me rethink that. |
| Will took out the Grand Duke (thank you for the 3 minute recap of that 💀), and things almost went south even after that before Wizard Jiraiya stepped in. Being the king of the Magia Vander, it's no wonder evil Bakugo and his headless buddy wanted to avoid him. Speaking of those 2, I thought they were going to play a bigger role in this arc but I guess we'll have to wait for S2 for that. For now, all's well that ends well. Love how Sion and Will were just casually vandalizing school property with their rematch 💀 overall it's amazing to see how far Will has come during the course of the show, and how he now has the respect of some of the school's top names. Well, at least from Lihanna and Wignall, Julius and Sion still seem pretty wishy washy lol. Sometimes a simple story with fire animation is all I need from a show (esp. if it's action-based, animation will be a priority for me), and this show delivered in that regard. Basic is fine sometimes, I don't need everything I watch to be Pulitzer Prize-level. Really looking forward to S2, I'm happy it was announced right away. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Great show! From these types of shows, I don't expect anything deep or anything, instead give me good action cuts, something that hooks me and a bit of moe and we're golden! Can't wait for season 2 |
 |
| Loved the action in this season + the great animation. Also that’s a lot of Will plushies. Glad to have a S2 announcement right away |
| Fun action dump but expecting more from worldbuilding/lore aspect of the show. Also, I need some clarification on the power scaling of the show, we haven't really seen a stronger character than Will yet (technically the black-haired Sensei but we didn't get to see him go all out and even got one upped by Will) and it feels like there is a lot regarding the whole Wand & Sword ability... ED development with the grown up Will plushies was interesting, lol. 7/10 but I'll be hoping there'll be more to this when the 2nd season comes around. |

| finn is finally here and yep will is special because he combines wand and sword by eating magic then using it as his power season 2 will be more hype and lihanna best girl |
| solid visuals and action, some decent lore and i liked the setting. wasn't anything special but i enjoyed it as a simple fantasy, we will be watching s2. collete will be missed till then. |
 |
| Alot of interesting new things this episode, definitely makes me look forward to the second season. While i'm not usually a big fan of action heavy shounen in general, i have been enjoying watching this show throughout the season. A decent story with good animation, nothing that wowed me but nothing that icked me either. I hope the second season gives me answers to the mysteries i can't seem to figure out myself. Maybe we'll get a some chicken little action where the sky falls down :) I do wonder how much money the school has to waste on repairs with all these kids using spells that could level small villages on eachother for fun. But hey, if they can fix heaven itself maybe repairing school property isn't that much of a hassle. |

| I was not expecting the Light Sovereign to appear, I thought they will be rescued by Workner and Edward. "Finn" showed his face and my first thought was "He looks like Finn" (Danmachi).. a second later, he introduced himself as Finn.. lol. Him having such an important name I knew he gonna be important, he actually seems to have the highest authority probably more than Caldron and the Magia Vanders. (or as he said, on the 'Sword' side of things). Good finale/cut for the first season and season 2 is already announced! I will probably read the Manga now coz I really got hook. |

| @deg Will be interesting to see what this Finn and his responsibility for swords will be |
| Of course no body Main character actually dump in orphanage is son of some special character that have important role in world, seen in flashback with his mother then his roommate actually is his mother retainers. Then of course will can use magic power using sword, then there's faction of sword (finn) and magic which contradict with what they said earlier that no body use sword anymore. his roommate also arrived there earlier than workner and edward even though they are flying using dragon. All of that which of course COPIED INSPIRED from black clover. |

| Nice ended of season, with the "Finn" , seems a sword the same our protagonist!!! Well, confirmed second season, and it was the most important!!! kekeke |
| This could've been 25 episodes you know but at least a sequel has been confirmed 7 |
 |
| In that dangerous place. Those two strange people, one of them is a human, swapping heads ^^ lol I'm interested in the next season. Exciting anime. |
Aleksu said: I was not expecting the Light Sovereign to appear, I thought they will be rescued by Workner and Edward. Everyone except those 2 made there in time lol. Took them ages. |
| When I saw Finn I was like wait a minute he reminds me of someone. Yes the party leader in https://myanimelist.net/anime/57066/Dungeon_ni_Deai_wo_Motomeru_no_wa_Machigatteiru_Darou_ka_V__Houjou_no_Megami-hen After some digging, it appears it's from the same author. So this is in the same universe as Dan Machi??? |
| Turns out there are sword people like Finn, but apparently no one from the students knew of them to tell Will? More surprisingly, Will never read about non-magic sword-fighting people for some reason? Slightly above average show for me. Anyways, this was written by the same guy who made Danmachi. Felt like the same thing to be honest, especially when it comes to MC. I didn't really like that show either. Dunno, will likely not watch S2. |
| It was really unexpected that both teachers were useless until the end. 9/10 |
| It's a great ending, though I wish the fight with the Grand Duke was longer before we get treated with the aftermath. |
| Looks like grumpy schoolmates will be ongoing feature of this series. Even great animation can't let me forget derivative plot of season 1. More things were teased in last episode but so far it's heen disappointing. |
Reply to Vindicater
| @Vindicater oh season 2 will have more finn in the first half of it im a manga reader |
| As much as I've clowned on this show these past twelve weeks, what people are saying about "animation carried", clearly haven't seen Demon Slayer and Kaiju No. 8 lol. The story has promise unlike in those two shows. Do hope that in season two they do actually touch on the worldbuilding and other things, but for now, yeah this season was majorly carried by animation. Oh well, time to go watch DanMachi now. |
 |
This season was so good and I found myself always wanting for Sunday to roll on around so I could watch the next installment of this anime. I loved the idea of Wand and Sword and how they correlate in battle. I love all the characters in this show as well. The world-building that took place in this season's finale made me super excited to watch Season 2 WHICH GOT ANNOUNCED AT THE END!!! I NEED MORE!!! Hopefully, we get to see Elfie next season in action! Overall, I will and have recommended this to everyone I know and will if anyone asks me for an anime they should watch!  |
 |
| Visuals were still the most standout thing about this show. While there were noticeable quality drops, it was still so much better than a lot of other shows of the genre. Though I still couldn't help but nitpick at some derpy faces and such. The character writing on the other hand is about unaspiring as can be. I'll just cope by telling myself they're teens. I am glad we're getting a second season though. Would like to see some progression towards the story as a lot of these fantasy series just kind of go no where. |
| I liked it, with a better story it would be even better tho. Hyped for the second season. |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| Although the premise is very generic with a guy with no magic going to a magic school, they executed it pretty well. The animation, especially, is top tier with the fights. Thankfully, we're getting a Season 2 and I'm excited to watch it when it releases. |
 |
| Very generic story and characters in my eyes but it was entertaining and enjoyable. The first episode was nice, then it fell a little off but the last episodes were really good. Overall its a solid 7/10 from my side. Looking forward to season 2 for sure. |
