I have mixed feelings about this ep. (But I still gave it a 4/5)

Pros
-

- Glen x Lumia scenes
- Lumia lap pillow
- Glen looked so dashing this ep (my opinion)
- Extinction Ray is still badass
- I liked the fact that they showed Sword guy somewhat younger like in the manga (compared to the LN where I felt he looked more like a middle-aged man, the only good thing about the LN version was that he felt more menacing)
- Sistina seeing Rape/Finger guys' death (as opposed to both Glen and her left the room the moment the skulls appeared)
- Sistina and Glen teamwork I guess
- As with previous episodes, OP actually shows the somewhat important members of Glen's class: namely we have

- Sistina's extra scene after the battle. Ignoring Huey and going straight to Glen and Lumia
- Glen's injuries aren't as serious here after his fight with sword guy.

Cons
- They cut (probably will rearrange) some minor and one key scene (a portion of Glen's past, the anime merely showed it briefly. Why am I complaining? That scene had such a powerful line about Glen being a murderer)
- As much as I don't ship Sistina and Glen, shame they cut the bed scene seeing as it had the Glen backstory scene and it was also supposed to have a Glen fanservice (shirtless and bandaged Glen) scene
- Sistina's Gale Blow could've been better. I wish it was at the level of that promotional art of her about to release a spell
- One of the minor details cut off was what material bone golems were made of.

- Although it will show up in the next few eps, they did cut one more Lumia x Glen scene

Not sure if everyone noticed this, but the soundtrack was so amazing it send chill through my spine, especially when Rumia tries to heal Glenn when he was about to erase the last magic circle.

Try to focus on the music when you watch that part; you know what i mean

By the way, good episodes. really different from other mediocre anime with the same genre
My Principle of Life:
1. No one knows the future nor one can change the past
2. Death is imminent to every being, no matter who it is, where it is, or how it is
3. Everything can happen in this world. EVERYTHING
4. Regret is absolutely useless
5. There's nothing weird or abnormal in this world, they're just unique

4/5- All right. Good job. I'm hooked.

Lots of things happening in this episode and I agree with some that this episode should've been split but oh well. I liked this episode a lot more than I did the first two so I can't complain much. The only thing I don't like about rushed and action packed episodes is that Glenn was on death's door twice...and was saved by Sistine and Rumia twice.

Now on to the next and with that OP I'm very intrigued on all the character's history and the other characters to make their appearance.

Ehh i'm conflicted with this episode i like how this show started off like a breath of fresh air for this genre defeating some of the norms, but after this week i feel like were right back at the start of sadly you know "generic light novel stuff"

But hey i still enjoy my time watching this hopefully it doesn't get any lower than this .

Though that OP and OST is quite good :P

So they rushed two of the fight scenes, and decided to explain everything on the fly instead of with monologues/narrations. Not complaining too much since it worked out in the end, but the short lines just made things fly by all the much faster.

I get the feeling they're trying to squeeze in 4 volumes here.
Cannot wait till best girl shows up though...


Is it that blue haired girl? Because if it is I can't wait either. Never read this before watching but I've got the feeling that the blue haired girl will make this anime a 10/10 for me. Well actually Glenn already did lol

This was crap. This show was great for the first two eps but this massive tone shift to 'Kirito Mode' in ep.3 really killed it.

1. I get that he can creatively 'bend' magic to make up for his shortcomings but why did he even lose to the girl in the fight in ep.1? Was that to teach her a lesson? idk.

2. Stock standard "mastermind" baddie. Why would a bad guy whose entire existence is to be a mana bomb give his enemy even a 1% chance of making his existence meaningless? He's like a naruto filler paper character.

3. Why. can. this. bitch. push. her. hand. through. the. barrier? How come Glenn knew she was this OP 'amplifier' but the dude is looking at her like 'WHY WAS I NOT TOLD TO BRING A STRONGER BARRIER!?' How did you not know my dude? Your shadowy organization really got ya'll out here looking crazy like this fam? REMEMBER AKATSUKI? White Zetsu made sure them dudes were WELL INFORMED on every detail of their missions. These dudes needa go get them a white zetsu...

4. Maybe a nitpick but I disliked how quickly the girls went from zealous about their strong belief in the power of magic into Damsels complicitly reliant on MC to save them. Like... not one of these girls just went 'For the Emporer' and tried to be a hero? I guess I don't expect people who are getting military training to be pussies, even as children. So far, the females seem to just be more 'combat assistant' to the hero. I'm just saying... He's got a dedicated healer AND buffer in ep.3, his weaknesses are COVERED lol. That is hella soon too. Ichika Orimura did get that till ep. 12 of season 1.

Aint a thing different here. The unique premise is just audience bait. They thought of one cool deviation of the genre premise however the show seems intent on just bending it's unique premise over the stock-standard plot model... I'm still gonna watch the hella outa it but... what a waste.

Points 2-4 are easily refutable. Seeing Huey's inaction, and the fact that he explained everything to MC, he clearly wanted to be stopped. While it is expanded more in the source and manga, it is obvious enough from his actions in the anime.

as for point 4, you don't teach newbies the dangerous stuff before the basics, hence non-lethal magic. The last thing you'd want is unexperienced kids doing extinction rays before they're actually prepared for it.

Honestly, I actually think this was the best episode yet. However, it still does suffer from a sort of problem which (I don't know of anyone else has this) but it seems like certain points such as villains (Huey) who just come out of nowhere. But overall this episode had some good action and some better dialogue than previous episodes. Although I still have one problem...where the hell is Rayford?!?!?!

The opening they played at the end was awesome, great music and video i think. As for the episode itself i found it sorta strange how Huey sort of just let himself be defeated. He never tried to stop Glenn from undoing the magic nor did he stop Rumia from using her amplifier magic. He just stood there and was like "oh well." However i do really enjoy this anime overall thus far.

On the entertainment level, the narrative is a pleasure, but it is unfortunate that so little tough episode, I wished that the final battle, it was even more exciting. Glenn, is a great character. It seems strange that the series has only 12 episodes, maybe they will make a sequel, though now beginning to tell the true story, will not say much. I like the choice they have made in terms of realism, showing bloody actions and filled with bloodshed. I want the next episode immediately.

Lots of advanced magic displayed on this EP. Well we also got some kickass OSTs.

Good episode overall, and surprised to see OP at the end of EP 3! cool.

However, Episode 2 > Episode 3 for me.I hope there will more upcoming episodes like EP2 excited us.

Actually I will give credit this anime as it really hooked me powerfully for some reason, yeah definitely not anime for some eliters.I got the vibes of GTO & Captain Irresponsible Captain Tylor at the beginning episodes, and now I getting vibes of Calvary anime.

MC and the humor are both fantastic. I probably could care less about the whole magic system, but hey, it's also refreshing to not have the MC be extremely OP.

Because there's one traitor in it? I mean he can change the destination of transportation circle, or he could've let them in somehow, it's not explained how, but it's not impossible for them to get in, I wouldn't call it a "hole"

When i meant how i was speaking about the traitor .... He was one of the soldiers with a bomb in his body so if the school was reputed that means there are multiple teachers who should had found that and when the traitor was missing (we don't know where he was) no one found that weird :D until we knew it in this episode !!

Fairly classic episode with Glen saving Sisti and Rumia, I thought it felt a little rushed but it was still a decent episode.

Glen's pretty cool with his fight style. Seems he was a former assassin. I'm pretty interested in seeing more of his past.

The PV for next episode was epic. xD
He could've been an assassin, or an ex-military official.

Pretty good ep. Loved how involved the duo heroines were in saving themselves. Looks like this adapted 1vol of LN, also plz more comedy.

Loving more and more Rumia, but seems the show will focus more on Sistine (some white-haired girl reincarnated?). This show feels a bit offbeat from the generic magic HS harems.

Seems like my previous ep comment comparing Glenn to Onii-sama was way off, pfffft as if taking time and so much mana for dispelling a lowly magic circle (sequence).....

Well, if they reach Volume 3 (aka blue haired girls arc), we might get it
but I doubt it. 12 eps aside, if they cut a lot of minor parts again, we could have arc 2(lumia arc) in 4 eps and arc 3 in 5 eps since it is in arc 3 where it gets a bit more serious.

continuing what I said, it will also give me my 4th/5th favorite pairing of the series, the yaoi pairing

So freaking rushed omg.

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

Congrats Glenn is on his way to permanency !
