it didn't start to get interesting until Leo started using level 10 magic

The story here is just as meh as "Strike the Blood"
STB has tons of fanservice to compensate for it's lack of good plot though
This one literally has nothing

It's either competent writing or fanservice
The show can't be good without at least one of them
@MoistGal Not only that, some characters are at least amusing, they have some kind of quirk that makes you enjoy it somehow, outside the fanservice.

I m very disappointed with this series, the designs are so good, I expected Selia to be way more spicy of teasing, not to have such a bland personality to herself, I dont mind tropes as long as their work, no character in this anime is interesting to watch so far, no girl I want to ship with the MC, in fact the other girls are even WORST than Selia.

Disappointment, I expected it to at least be enjoyable, the only thing that I want to know is the origin of the Voids, how that relates to the MC's past, and what happened from then to now.
I m sure he is assembling his harem, but there is not a single girl to spike my interest... this has to be one of the least exciting harem casts I have seen for a good GOOD, LOOOONG while.
Pity, these designs are good, especially Selia.

I will finish the anime for sure, but I was looking to read the LN eventually, but now that I have an idea of the leads... I will eat the same plot told for the 1000's time with something just barely different to not be a 100% carbon copy, as long as it amuses me in the least, this is just, BORING.

If I had to rate it so far, would easily be a 5/10, it is not doing anything bad or that makes me hate or extremely dislike but damm this snoozefest.

It never fails to amaze me how many people continue watching a show they think is bland or don’t like. It’s episode 5 of a 12 ep series. If you don’t like it at this point, you probably won’t. It’s ok to let it go.

Another solid episode with some funny moments between Leo and the girls. Honestly would’ve made sense to get that flashback scene last week during the ambush episode, though. I do feel like a lot of the dialogue could’ve been cut and the action skipped to because it dragged at times. Still, a solid episode
@Marinate1016 I loath to drop stuff, must not be the sole one for sure. Besides people like to have something to hate to comment.
I dont hate this show, just expected it to be more interesting, major disappointment, doesn't mean I will drop it, and I will probably bitch about it the next time I comment to, but since it disappointed me so much already, won't be easy to make it worst, so I won't have such a negative reaction again.
And hopefully it will get better by the end, but seriously this anime would immediatly become way better if Selia was more a tease, and when you look to her design and see the novel illustrations, you would think she would be that. Damm pity.

I can agree with you on needing more fanservice.

I like that the anime has given enough screen time for the military aspect side how the higher-ups deal with this kind of situation, all characters there are very competent and reminded I was like watching an episode from a Gundam series.

Also, MAL people are always complaining it's a snooze fest with lots of talking. Typical Gen-Z rotting brains.
@mondrake
The problem is, Anime like this can be done better....

Like the first 5 episodes of Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha had a more compelling and gripping plot, more interesting characters, the stakes feels high even though the MC is overpowered, and the entire progression of the story feels more fluid, fast-paced and more entertaining.

In comparison, the entire 5 episodes of this show is too freaking long with the introductory exposition, and characters feels they lack depth(except for the MC and his old GF Roselia) compared to Maou Gakuin...

NGL this anime's kinda epic, and nice buildup man, I could actually feel the tension rising. And daym isn't that cool that the city's headquarters or whatsthatcalled equipped with guns firing at void fleet?! EPICO FR.
If you choose to do only what you know, you'll never experience the joy of being able to do something you couldn't before.

Shary didn't have near enough screentime.

They are neglecting best girl and her donut slice of life career.

One of the enemies Leonis made in his young years as a brave hero, now a void. The connections from his era to Roselia's era are appearing.
It's Tokyo-3! lol

Nice episode, but I dislike tentacle (tree roots). Come on.. tentacles on girl in 2023? wtf are we back in 2000?

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

So the void leader ends up causing a stampede on the island and everyone has to find shelter from the flying voids.

Riselia and Leonis work together to defeat the voids and encounter the main perpetrator Arakel Degradios.
I like how we get a glimpse of Leonis' past life, it really adds depth into his character but I would've liked to see some sort of connection like same place different time.

Too boring and waste of potential. Could've been more interesting
