Elfaria is not a good person, she abandoned her best friend to obtain power for himself, leaving Will to be abused and tormented. In this era of mental health matters, characters like Elfaria shouldn’t exist.

visuals just as solid as the first episode and the choreography was neat as well. edward gives me snape vibes lol. bros hating on will's motivation to reach the top, but i'm all for it. i like how they addressed the no magic vs magic in this, was more interesting compared to similar shows. edward awarding only 5 credits after nearly killing him is diabolical though.

Will's roommate gender? Because that sounds like voice actress instead of voice actor.
@phantomfandom Rosti is a male. It sounded like a female seiyuu to me as well, which makes me think that the most likely explanation is the fan theory surrounding him.

@Multilynx
yeah, there are some fan theory about the real identity of Rosti.
I also need to mention that his seiyuu is credited as ???? This means that his seiyuu is a piece of crucial information to his real identity. And they did not want to reveal it yet.

Will is such a sweet kid. I was actively rooting for him during the fight with his teacher and I was so happy when he was able to scratch the teacher. I really hope that now he understands how strong our boy is. He also confessed his love for Elfaria which was cute and from the ED, it looks like she loves him just as much.

Great episode. Nice OP and very cute ED. Can't wait for more of this and meet new characters. It looks like there are many characters that are fond of Will. Doesn't surprise me tbh.

@deg They usually try to sound somewhat masculine when that happens (as necessary for the character’s age). But I listened to Rosti speaking again and he clearly sounds like a female voice, not a female trying to voice a male. I wish the English manga translations were caught up with the Japanese releases. I’m trying to be careful so I don’t spoil anything accidentally.

I get that Edward doesn't care about Will at all, but making him take the test without his sword is just low. It's the equivalent of making a magic user take the test without their wand, of course they will fail. I wish someone would have called Edward out for that bs! Aside from that it was another amazingly animated episode!! The quality of this anime is just top notch 👌

@ajw215799 it's more like, she was deceived and couldn't do anything else about it., like how you were raised by your parents, making you have twisted view of the world around you (you can't do anything about it , yet)

I really like the lighting in this show. It's honestly amazing how much a difference it makes in scenes where they're simply walking or talking.

Also liked the opening song when the chorus joined in.

It's been very interesting to witness a season filled with very well animated shows, and I had my concerns about the consistency of the visual quality after last episode, but while this episode didn't pack as much of a punch in that regard, I'm glad the quality is still on the high side. Writing-wise, not expecting anything really standout here, but at the very least, I do hope it gets going and does something intriguing, because right now, it has been very "by-the-book" in terms of this type of genre. My expectations have been tempered, but I hope it can impress me at least a little bit.

Which student with magic could have passed that test? They all would've gotten their asses kicked. If his familiar hadn't of gone to the lockers Ed would have killed Will. WTF kind of teacher steps on a student? I hope we see Ed fight again and get served badly.

I can't get over how well produced this show is. Especially the sound design and music really elevate the great art, animation, and effects. I already thought it looked like an interesting show based on the PV but this is way more than I was expecting.

So basically professor jealous and mad because he's a loser that couldn't reach the top despite coming closer than anyone else to the top. He's actually mad just because someone that's "Talentless" is reaching for something he himself couldn't achieve. Still for the sake of Love Will Serfort will reach the top

Also I feel like more and more I'm watching just an Asta that's more of nerd. One person that can't use magic in a world of mages and a sword that cuts magic. Also I wonder if we'll see anymore dwarves in this world? Probably not here because all mages but would be interested to see some other races.

Also Will really is popular. He's got the ice girl, the girl that clearly likes him but is going to just have to watch as he climbs up for another woman, and now a twink femboy that cooks for him? Or is that actually a boy? Or maybe like the 7 spell blades we get a


Anyways this so far has been great visually speaking at least so props to the studio and staff for that. I hope the quality keeps up. Sometimes you just need some cool action to watch and turn your brain off.

Beautifully executed, the smooth seamless transition between CGI to 2D like in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
It's great to see the manga come to life in anime.
So far so good, nothing skipped as of yet.

What a nonsense. I got too big expectations after the 1st episode. "MC is bullied, so you have to feel bad for him". Antagonists are unreasonable. Especially, the redhead one. I thought he may be at least a little bit complex and show some mixed feelings after the revelation he experienced, but the anger is the only thing he's able to feel. They are unable to learn from their own mistakes, too. Grabbing the leg does not count as landing a hit, but the character could easily grab it and snap it then, so that should be counted.

I admit viper, you are the best magician no cap. But i fight u without my sword so its my turn now, lets prove that u are the best of the best magia, get ur ass over here, prove it without ur mighty wand, like we did before, if u can survive for 10 seconds without getting ur pretty face split in half by my full power swing, ill make it even after this, and no more complaint from me - this should be what the mc say to him after that fight.

Actually, I'm going to have a difference in opinion and say that Professor Edward is portrayed well. I don't think he's necessarily being mean to Will specifically. He doesn't seem like a bad guy but rather driven by his standards of what it means to be a Magia Vander. I mean it's almost written by definition that one needs to be able to use magic since it contains the word magia. Silly example but it's like trying to become idk the greatest blacksmith but you have no actual ability to forge weapons. And then imagine your whole life goal is to receive the title. You strived for it and get knocked back down only to find that someone who can't use magic wants to become one. It's making light of one's ambitions and efforts.

Edward seems like a well-written character for now. I think his actions are completely justified. AND it's clear he held back and made it somewhat fair by using only 2 spells although they were powerful as he had explained, it's better to perfect a few spells than to know a bunch that haven't been mastered.

Glad to say the animation team is still cooking with this show. Another simple episode but a solid one. You have the jerk dark magic teacher Edward fight Will himself to prove to himself that Will should be allowed to stay here. You have him reading history and getting inspired by his possible dwarf relatives.

Looks like next episode we will see Will's roomate and another new character. Like how they're drip feeding us characters like with Head Master this episode.

The teacher Edward should be the one expelled from the school. It's one thing to schedule a test, but another to conduct that test with no warning and no allowance for the other to be ready or anything. And while it's not something he would know, once Will had his sword, Edward apparently had zero chance of winning.

On a positive note, both the OP and the animation are fantastic.

This is going quite well. In addition to the amazing production quality, the characters are well crafted and the timing is EXCELLENT. When I saw the episode start with a flashback, I was prepared to have the entire episode wasted on showing us what we already know or don't care about, but instead it was just a few minutes. When they planned a test for Wiru [sic :D] i figured they'd spend the entire season on it like so many other shows, but instead they dove right in and resolved it in the single episode but without it feeling like it was not done well.

Brav-fucking-o. 5/5 no notes.

Honestly who's to say he doesn't actually have magic? Maybe his super strength is just physical enhancement, and it's just that no one else in their society has used magic in that way at that point in time. Makes more sense then "tiny dudes just ridiculously strong". The story/show at this point is so early on there's multiple routes they could take it. The dude could even end up being part dwarf or something since it mentioned the 1 dwarf fought like him.

very good episode, I like knowing that he didn't defeat the teacher, but rather just completed the task, but I'm disappointed that only after receiving the sword, he manages to get stronger, I think he would be able to develop more even without the sword, but the ep was good

Edward Vs. MC was beautifully animated.

Interesting to know that he's been at the academy for 6 years. So this might mean Elfie has been in the tower for 6 years as well since it seems like she became a Magia Vander as soon as she got there.

If Will had his sword from the get go, he would of instantly won, hands down. This reminds me of Black Clover and how the MC surrounds their swords with anti-magic. From the looks of it and from what Edward said, Will's sword is specially made to handle against magic too.

In that case, Mr. Ed would probably not have limited himself to just two spells. He's far more fair to Will than Sion. Will gets a chance to see how he stacks up against what could be considered a top-floor boss in the tower. Start with his sword? Life isn't always that nice! He's been at it for six years now, so if he can't do even this much, it's better to know now before he gets killed.

Am I the only one who thinks it's terrible writing for Will not to have any weapon for a battle against Ed? That doesn't even make sense, whether he could use magic or not he should have at least any weapon...
