| Don't usually watch stuff like this cause it's usually trash lmao but the LN had enough positive reviews so I thought I'd give it a shot. Yeah it's kinda cringe. Especially the samurai girl who speaks like she's from fucking 1015 Japan (don't fact check that year). Kinda edgy but I was expecting that so I'm not too surprised there. The intro sequence is kinda dumb tho. It's like how is this school supposed to operate this big ass parade with deadly creatures if there's no staff/teachers to keep everything under control. But oooooo this school is so deadly because 20% of students die, so they're doing this on purpose. Yeah sure whatever LN author. |
| Seems pretty meh so far, but I will give it a fair shot. |

| Best boy and best girl relationship instantly reduced to younglings misunderstanding with the fountain scene. Bless them. The people in the green uniform give me an oniums vibe. Lets see what happens next! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
Let me tell you a solid bro, don't ever judge an anime with it's author (maybe do judge it but) judge it more as individually only the anime itself. A lot of guys like you new generations make this mistake I see. Bro as a Human being you are not omnipotential. As you are not good at every subject test you take or in every sports, authors are the same. They are also human and not good with every genre they make..... So don't judge it only with that alone. And I don't know Bokuto Uno, never heard of him (sorry). And it's probably better if the main characters died, they should've died in the 1st ep, then it would've been interesting. Before commenting on #42 I read all the previous ones thought I might be wrong for not Liking this anime but after reading them turns out I was right. Majority of them didn't like it. Thats 90 out of 100, only 10 enjoyd (maybe less). Liking the anime is totally up to you, you can like the LN or the anime, not judging your preferences. But telling people their individual opinions don't matter that is not right. You can't survive like that. Better believe it. Everybody matters bro. And who is Koala12345? Tell me the truth, it's your background 2nd account, isn't it? |

| Ehh it was okay, Nanao will likely hard carry this because the rest of the characters aren't that interesting. |
| I never thought i was gonna see a harry potter anime when i added this to my list. The visuals are great. If the author of alderamin did this, then it will have cool ideas i guess. |
 |
| Nanao's an interesting character ig. She did stand out in the first episode. |

Marinate1016 said: Yeah for sure it's league above Maou Gakuin already, and the world budling definitely peaked my interest I might read first volume since I do own it physically.IzanaSolos said: Here we go again with the fantasy school anime, this one gives me Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha x Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute vibes. This episode introduces us to a world where magic and these deadly irreversible techniques known as spellblades, most people that use this technique are cryptic people that don't reveal themselves in the public. The episode does an excellent job of balancing action while introducing us to this world. While there are several exhilarating battle sequences, there are also moments of quiet reflection and mystery. The end of the episode leaves me with numerous questions and an eagerness to continue watching for the coming weeks I have to say. The opening also gives me major Harry Potter vibes One minor flaw is that the episode occasionally introduces a few too many characters and concepts at once for the typical fan, which even had me slightly overwhelmed at times. However, this can be forgiven as the story gradually unfolds and provides a deeper understanding of the world and its inhabitants. Overall, with its average animation, intriguing characters, and a well-established fantasy world, it successfully hooks me and leaves them craving for more. If you're a fan of fantasy adventures with a touch of mystery and captivating magic systems, this is definitely a series to come to check out every week! It’s incredibly clear of Maou Gakuin. The world building in nanatsuma is on par with Harry Potter. |

Robot1carm said: I wouldn't get too hung up on what people are saying about something you like after one episode. What I've said barely classifies as a review, and I certainly didn't rate it. It was a little cringe and I picked apart some nonsensical world-building but I'm still going to watch it for now.ProofByColor said: well i usually check out the rwting people gave some of the shows i like when i see them give a bad rating to a show, that just helps me kmow their tase better. Looking back on the episode it was a bit generic but by at lesst ep 4-6 it will get way better, sadly this series has a slow start. for some ressom they skipped the prologue to the og book though, idk how they’ll make up for thatLmao took me a while to figure out wtf you were trying to say but you actually made me laugh here. Thanks lol |
| Nice first episode, why all the negativity!? |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| This has this 2014 harem fantasy vibes that has been quite rare recently thanks to isekai becoming a genre I'll prolly enjoy this quite a lot, for nostalgia factor at the very least |
| Run'n'hide! Seems like Taboo Tatoo division strikes back. How do I know? Overuse of 3D and cringe animation of course. Anyway. If you feel that story is any interesting please consider going for LN. Amount of world building omitted is roughly 90%. And though it is not something unheard of for animated series, the remaining 10% are not done well either. I also feel like Horn and Aalto voices were miscast or wrongly directed. Of course you are free to wait 1-2-3 episodes or just enjoy whole show as it is. But do not be surprised at the low scores at the end. P.S. I would be happy to be wrong. But I really feel waves of mediocrity here. |
| I think the negativity stems from the episode being pretty bad in most if not all aspects. You probably weren’t around in 2013ish when they copy pasted magic highschool anime one after another. This is one of those. Mediocre animation, flat art, uninspired setting. There is nothing here hope that helps! |

| there's some slight story rearrangement that were made but weren't of particular concern, my excuse being "it's an adaptation and the show is on limited time/budget to showcase what the story is" however there was one moment that just really didn't make sense at all, it looked like more of an attempt at directly trying to entice the viewer, which broke immersion for me under the pretense of "a premonition of fate", Oliver Horn's monologue when seeing the samurai girl (Nanao Hibiya)'s for the first time then gets interjected with a random sequence of sword clashing. two people who meet for the first time, or rather one person staring at the other's peculiar appearance from behind who is unaware. the person gazing then has an intrusive thought, "What if I fucked her?" "What if I sparred swords with her?" that was the only nitpick I had. To me it was like the show admitted: - the initial story set up of the characters meeting is boring, here's a random action sequence to keep you hooked - hey shippers, keep an eye on this pair! - ( ironically enough this holds little weight given that they encounter each other early morning at the end of the episode ) overall a decent start and showing. happy to see the light novel getting an adaptation and the Kimberly gang being animated. the episode did well enough to portray the character personalities during the Kimberly ceremony despite some cuts. |

| so either Kenshin and Kaoru's daughter or Hermio... i mean... Katie... are gonna be best girl |

winddevil1 said: Samurai girl is already best girl of the season, no need to watch anything else lol i can't believe half the things she does, specially telling the principal about her headache tricks :D the book guy reminds me of Hermione, non magic parents and always reading it's not the "Samurai girl", its "Kenshin and Kaoru's daughter", and Katie is Hermoine |
|
| idk how to put it, but this seems like an anime produced in the west? it's not in the design but the flow of how the characters interact, I think. In any case, for a first episode, it was alright. The premise seems simple, the art style is nothing crazy and the characters are eh. Also, now that I think about it? is it me, or do the character design resemble hentai animation... Like that headmaster lady, but I digress. |
| I love the LN's but I must say first episode looks very bland, it kinda lacks impact, and has weird pacing. Hopefully next episodes will be better, because source material is really really good. Also remember guys, "3-episode rule" applies here. cute nanao tho |
 |
| Loved the first episode. The upside down room and intros w/map floating was fun. Although Nanao is a little too stupid. |

| 5 minutes looks like 1 hour on this anime, horrible maybe it's so much good to this first episode. |
| Bruh they really use "It's just a prank bro" reason for an almost death situation. Yeah characters and dialogue are probably the weakest part of this. |
| an alright first episode. as expected, not much stands out but i like the color palette and animation is good enough as well. nothing special about the cast but damn, she's purifying herself in public huh :P pretty generic characters but not the least interesting first episode this season, so i'll stick around. |
 |
| I really liked the animation and art style, very similar to Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) really cool 👍 Voice actors are also really good 👍 ... but that's about it, the story itself is meh, and it pulls waaaaaaay too much similitude with Harry Potter, it was practically redone version of Harry Potter + Miko + Samurai + Swords instead of magic wands, and you get this anime. 🥱 |
| Promising start. Already we have One Busty Principal One sexy samurai exhibitionist with zero social skills and One mystery blonde. Let's see how this plays out. |
 |
| Good intro episode. Don't really see why people are complaining without at least seeing 3 episodes. Apparently this only adapted the first chapter of the manga. |
| Wow I love Trails of Hyouken no Majutsushi! |

PastalNightMare said: Marinate1016 said: FINALLY. The REAL anime Harry potter is here. Man I wish I could’ve streamed my reaction to this first episode because I’ve been waiting for and pushing this Light Novel for so long. Tears in my eyes man. J.C staff did an amazing job introducing you to this incredibly complex and intricate magical world as well as the characters. This series has one of the most detailed magic systems ever and I can’t wait for people to really experience all it’s got to offer. The art, animation and pacing were all very solid. When it comes to JC Staff you just never know but this time it seems they got it right. They been on a roll since Railgun T and it looks like this could be among their best.. I just pray the quality stays this good throughout. Pacing is going to be the big test for them here. The first volume in particular is quite thick and has a lot of world building. I hope they don’t pull an Index. Cautiously optimistic. okay so it was harrypotter like similarities cause I was thinking that the entire time , from the spell names to the mythical creatures , I'm so excited You’re going to be in for a treat. |
