So they are rushing through volume 1 huh.

I mean, I don't see too much of a problem in it, since they are trying to get the plot going I guess (especially if they are going to adapt 9 volumes). Although, it feels like Ouka's arc is going to be really rushed.

Animation is good, but I prefer the light novel's art so much more.. Sougetsu's character design and voice is kind of meh but we'll see how good the voice is once he gets a bit more serious.

I really hope they get Hayato's voice and character design right though...

Overall 4/5 episode, my faith in Silver Link so far hasn't been shaken.


Adapt 9 volumes? In 12 episodes? Oh boy why they do this? ¬¬

9 volumes in 24 episodes (2 course).

Seriously people 9 volumes in 12 episodes is impossible no matter how you think about it.

They will do it 2 course with 24 episodes and since Silver Link did Rokujōma no Shinryakusha!? 7 volumes in 12 episodes without really feeling rushed I have faith in them

The MC seems pretty cool. I mean, he likes flat chests. And by the looks of it, he has a demonic side to him. Don't really care for the other characters, but the girl at the end might make me think otherwise.

Second drop of the season.

Was only slightly interested in this since I ptr the LNs at one point but never did.

Heard the second half was slightly more interesting and it was but basically skimmed through the first half just to get to that point.

Probably not missing out on much,this would likely be mediocre at best anyways.

Plus have Gakusen Toshi Asterisk to watch instead which is a similar type anime but one that I actually find somewhat enjoyable compared to this.

Edit: Also heard there might be a possibility this might be 2 cour/split cour thus more reason to drop this to not waste my time.

A good start, albeit on the slightly rushed side though.

Silver Link continues to impress me with their good and consistent animation. The art style is also nice to look act as well.

With this series being a split cour, I hope the pace starts to slow down a bit. The characters seems to be pretty interesting, so hopefully they'll get some good character development throughout the series.

Hmmm...now this I like. It felt like a much better version of Kuusen Madoshi from last season. Our four main characters all seem likeable and I'm definitely enjoying how they interact with one another, especially Takeru and Ohtori. Even both of the fanservice scenes, while dumb, were enjoyable. It's waaay too early, and it did feel a bit rushed, but good stuff so far.

Well i was afraid that it will be too rushed but it wasn't all that bad, actually well done. Well they could have shown Ootori's "berserk mode" instead of the "fall and grab" scene though........the former one would been a better choice to show than the latter tbh.

The second episode has to cover a lot of events beside the action and i hope they keep the introduction of one of the most interesting antagonists of the series.

Other than that.........

- Takeru's Berserk Mode and Soumantou looks cool
- The Dragoon's design looks pretty good as well
- Chairman entrance was pretty awesome with those golden background
- The comedy parts were done well enough (still sad Asterisk cut out some of the comedy)
- The action looked pretty good so i am expecting pretty good things in later episodes

With this my initial worry about Asterisk, Anti-magic, Heavy Object and Rakudai are more or less gone now. If they keep this up, all of them will at least be pretty good adaptations (since getting a perfect adaptation is pretty rare).

We definitely get too much harem/ecchi anime this season. Didn't really like the fact that they switched from the party to dead kids covered in blood in like 10 seconds. It seemed too forced to implement drama in the end. Also the boob-grabbing scene, why ,why,why? Just skip it, pls, what are LN writers thinking? Why do they always make something like that?
Besides those two aspects it was an ok beginning.

youll be missing out a ton this season. the light novels are my fav light novels rn tbh....just give the next episode a try, this is really the only part you see cliches and fan service xD its purely an action anime, which everything will get real with the next episode.

The main characters introduced so far are archetypal just like many other harem/ecchi, and the chain of events that ensued were of the same nature. Even so, I thought the action was somewhat decent, which might be the only redeeming quality that show currently possess.

Should this concentrates more on the action aspect rather than the (needless) fanservice and harem, it'll be a tolerable watch. Otherwise, probably not.

and it does xD i mean like literally, as far as i am, theres just a tiny scene in v3 and a tiny scene in v6, but they are either used for comedy or progressing the story.

A last minute addition to my "Plan to Watch" list!

So when I saw this was about a platoon of failures./rejects, that caught my attention. I always root for the underdog!

Wow this platoon has issues! Usagi is a genius sniper, but makes more mistakes than your average sniper. Ikaruga is supposedly some weapon mechanical genius, but she seems like she has no motivation. Takeru can't use guns, but is a sword user that seems to have a sister complex of some sorts. And then we have Ouka who we find out in this episode is all about revenge against witches for killing her family!

This first episode was pretty funny and interesting, so I definitely want to see where this platoon is going!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

Not sure if I like how fast paced the story feels. However, the action and music are surprisingly nice.

Characters aren't very interesting yet, but I do like the voice acting, especially for Takeru.

So I guess every anime now just has to have a boob grab in their first eps?

Can someone that read the ln or whatever tell me if this is good or gets good later on? I'm so fucking sick of this shit rn. This is the third show I've watched this season that has that whole "MC that is supposedly weak in Fantasy school that gets bitches (i know not yet but im assuming that harem tag is there for a reason), main girl be tsundere and then reveal that MC is op and is actually not weak" type of shit.

This show may not resemble the 2 other shows that are airing this season as much (which are pretty much identical to eachother) but it does remind me of that Sky wizard academy crap that aired last season and maan that was garb. Just pls. This needs to stoooooop. However if this show genuinely becomes good later then I would wanna know so I don't early drop it.

As for the episode, it was meh. Animation is alright. Not really sure where this show is headed.

From what I heard from my buddies that read the LN....Volume 1 is the only volume that is generic/not that good and that it get's A LOT more hype later on

Apparently something cool is suppose to happen in episode 2 tho

Great debut, quite liked the atmosphere of the beginning of the anime, even though it is quite cliche, has already left me anxious to see the events that lead that outcome (despite already know the plot), I also liked the comedy in the anime, the characters are very charismatic, I am excited to continue watching anime, I have good expectations ..

This series is nothing like Sky Wizard Academy. It gets really good later on.

I would give it at least 3 episodes before you decide.

IMO, the LN really starts to pick up after volume 5 (like crazy good) but the beginning is kind of generic and weak (personally almost dropped the LN myself).

Since it is going to be split cour (2 seasons) and adapting up to volume 9, it won't be as generic as LN harem cliche's that have no overarching plot/action.

Well this felt kinda fast on the pacing side but i can't say i'm disappointed was better then i thought putting the cliches side just gotta get that first boob grab out of the way right?...


was getting a little annoyed with shows revolving around guns people never really get hurt so me thinking it was gonna be all PG was sorta surprised with the ending scenes


all i want to say is Please be good? i'm tired of all these mediocre LNs and with 2 of the 3 big ones this season that are supposedly actually decent i want it to be true.

heh and for once i actually liked the MC

My reaction exactly. I really like this anime but the Ecchi moments are way too forced and ruin the mood just a little. But i also see how they made fun of how generic the ecchi scenes are, anyone else notice that?

well every character has their own little arc so theres good devlopement. AMA is also a novel known for having good action, so you can expect amazing action scenes almost every 2 episodes

lol Why do you keep bringing those "LN LN" things in your comment? We give the first impression based on the anime, not the LN. If the very first impression is bad and it makes us lose interest in this anime, then so be it. Don't bring LN in this, it's kinda.. stupid.

So, this show, Gakusen Toshi Asterisk, and Rakudai Kishi no Calvary are the three generic magic battle highschool anime this season. Two heroine intros with the girls in their underwear and one in a bunnygirl outfit (So I was 2/3rds right about the girl intros). Generic, but good shows for passing time.

The action in this was surprisingly really good.

The first episode was pretty rushed, so the drama bits felt kinda forced compared to the LN that had more time to build it up. But the episode was still good nonetheless definitely the best of the LN battle harem anime's this season (so far).

I'm especially looking forward to later on which will have more action and drama.

That was alright I guess.

I could've sworn I read somewhere at some point, that the sword guy was actually super strong and he was helping the squad get their shit together (almost like a kuusen madoushi type situation).

So I went in with that mindset and it turned out to be totally not true, which is fine. A little disappointing that everyone on the team is basically autistic though.

The visuals were ok, but seeing as how this was Silver Link's bigger project, I was kind of expecting better.

Oh well. If there was any indication this show is going to be good, it's the giant shipping container filled with containers of dead bodies. You know it's going to be a party when the bad guys stuff a few dozen corpses into some fish barrels.

How many shows this season had a boobgrab in the first episode? Lol
The beginning was amazing, but things went downhill.
Felt really rushed despite the fact that I haven't read the original source.
One thing that bothered me was that the girl didn't seem bothered by the boobgrab afterwards...?

Woah, is it just me or did we get some seriously high tempo pacing?
I feel like Ootori just got the same amount of character development and reveals in 1 EPISODE that most shows spend their WHOLE SERIES on...

Was an okay start. I can see the potential to get better that the LN fans are preaching about.
We'll see if it actually lives up to the hype.
