This series kind of mixes Fate/Stay Night and Index but with its own magic system, and so far it's working for me.
Also, Shironeko is best waifu.

Hoping to learn more about Sensei's past.

The OP looks pretty great and the song was nice too

As for the episode, for some reason I feel like maybe this was a bit too fast paced? (Any LN readers readers out there that can confirm if we ran through the material pretty fast or if anything noteworthy was skipped?)

Either way, I really liked the way things played out in this episode with Glenn not exactly solo-ing everyone but rather, he needed help from both Sisti (Who was beyond cute in this episode btw) and Rumia in order to save the day....The chemistry and teamwork between him and Sisti especially was great and the spells they both did were rather impressive

Overall, another great ep is in the books, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of Glenn's past as well as finding out more about this evil organization and some backstory for Rumia too....Plus based off of the OP, it looks like we'll be getting some new and interesting looking characters soon

And I REALLY wanna know who the girl is that Glenn always thinks about with that tattoo....Also, I thoroughly enjoyed the actions scenes and bloody stuff in this ep and I'm happy to see that they don't shy away from killing people in this one


Yup, they cut Glenn's past explanation into 3 cards

What exactly do you mean by 3 cards? And even so, would it still be possible for us to get this info about his past later on?

It all depends whether it will be rearranged into the next few episodes I guess (But I don't think there's another ideal scene left to put it there). Still, the only info they gave was Glen's blood soaked hands and his trail of murdered bodies. Whereas the manga expands further for like half a chapter while the anime reduced it to a short scene (and the adapted ones were somewhere around 1 and a half page)
If there's no one happy, is it really a victory?

Funny like poor man's ubw. But good magic circle effects & 2D skeleton, vs ufo's cg skeletons.
Shirou: u correct aint mean ya right.

Judging by the name "Sistine" I guess she will have a special ability called "The Last Judgment".

And having Rumia suddenly "save" him by being an Amplifier was kinda corny to me, but at least the good guys won


Well, if she wasn't amplifier, she wouldn't be exiled and later kidnapped. It would really suck if her ability was just bait for wlvilains without any benefits, right?

Instead of dragging out, the show decided to include all the juicy parts into just 3 episodes which in return managed to capture my attention 100%

10/5 for this episode and we finally get to see the OP!

hmm... not enough of Glen being a bastard. If Glen keeps acting more and more like a productive part of the magic society I'm going to have to drop this. Its the aspects that made him unlikable to the majority that made me like him.

My respect for Glenn after this chapter is off the charts, he was really awesome!
Loved his teamwork with Sistine and their spells were great too :O
Rumia helping Glenn at the end was beautiful, also lap pillow <3

Really bloody episode, didn't expect that.
Loved that OP song at the end also, just now realised the other episodes had none lol.

No it wouldn't suck, it would just still be corny. I just didn't find it impressive and thought the skill wasn't really thought out and actually was rather convenient to the plot when it could have been more kick ass and independently cool like white cat.

Alright, Glenn is growing on me and his dynamic with Sisti is fun to watch. That moment when he pushed her over the ledge was great.

The animation, or lack thereof, still bothers me.

Glenn saving Rumia and proving once more, that he is more than a "bastard with no motivation" was cool to see.

My biggest problem however is still the total lack of any new ideas. So far this is the same old magical school series we have seen hundreds of time. What keeps me going is Glenn, and his interactions with Sisti. I'm still looking forward to episode 4 though.

/e: I totally forgot about Huey's idiot plan. He just stands there while it falls apart? Are you fuckin kidding me?

/e2: I don't know why they don't make the ending song the opning, since there is none. That song rocks.

Now you lost me. In what way having ability that attract kidnappers without any benefits doesn't suck?

Talk abut starting an episode with your pants down...
Also, Glenn was pretty blue looking for a while there after using up his magic.
I'm not too surprised that super-sweetie-best-girl Rumia was rescued, we have to get back to standard harem comedy afterall.

It keeps getting better, Glenn became more respectable after this episode, although I have to say that I already liked him before this episode. I also appreciate that he isn't too op and still needs the help of other characters.

whats this, the MC is strong and weak in the same time.
he can cast powerful magic, but lacks of mana. so how did he manage in the past?
judging by some preview, he's known as strong magician killer, and yet this pathetic.

I mean how the fuck did he not die, pretty much drained all his magic, which in this universe is pretty much life-force, then got impaled, not stabbed or pricked, but fucking IMPALED by four swords, and still didn't die!!?? This show has got some pretty strong plot armor, but it's fast paced and interesting enough that I'm probably just gonna binge watch it within two days then forget about it forever lol

I am very surprised about this show so far. I thought it was just going to be another generic high school magic show, which it is, but the characters are actually kinda enjoyable and it has a lot more tension than what I thought it would be able to achieve.
This show is better than what it should be.

Hah! I knew it, he's something else from his past. I bet the class don't know that their bastard substitute magic instructor is an Imperial Court Mages Corp mage killer and an acknowledged skilled one at that! Reik died before he can say what Glenn's codename was, hmmm that was interesting maybe it'll come back in the future episodes?

Glenn's finally up to the spotlight for now and is showing some "good" magic skills that he has in his pocket

I was not expecting this anime to show blood that much but needless to say It does sure show what Glenn's point is that magic is no good more for killing

But Sistine and Rumia are saved by the bastard Glenn I hope more action comes to this series in the next episodes, Oh that OP epic it sounds good in my opinion not just a standard dull OP but a thrilling one.

Wait, if the Researchers of Divine Wisdom are supposed to be a secret society of evil wizards, why would they attack the school in broad daylight while wearing easily identifiable tattoos denoting their affiliation? Either this is a group trying to frame those researchers, they're ridiculously confident, or they're amazingly incompetent at being a secret society.

Also, as a mage killer with ruined dreams of heroism, Glenn's backstory reminds me of another character from Type-Moon universe. I'm not exactly sure where RokuAka is taking this.
