What I don't get is why almost everyone makes fun of Takeru and his sword, have they never seen him go into bad ass mode? Oh well, if he would just use his relic I bet he beats them all :c.

It's getting the Tokyo Raven, Campione and Madan treatment but worse and have a high possibility of becoming similar to FSN 2006. You may think the anime is doing okay but rushing through 2 volumes in 4 episode, cutting down characterization and exposition is never good. Add to that a few events that are actually important. Oh the fight in episode 2 is trash-tier compared to the LN.

It sad since the LN maybe ending soon (maybe volume 12 or 13) so there was no need to rush through this. The chance of a second season will be pretty low. All of the other LN adaptations this season have much slower pacing (Heavy Object is adapting 1 volume in 6-7 episodes).

Giving at least one more episode per volume and having someone competent on the action scenes (Rakudai's action scenes are pretty good) would have made this show much much better. It's a waste really........this could have been a great show.

And I tend to disagree - many LN adaptations think they need an excessive amount of exposition in their anime.

This is actually a problem. Exposition in a book is never wrong (unless you get to Mahouka level of exposition) as it helps your immersion, in a game (PC or table top or sth else) it is often the same.

In a film or anime exposition is only needed to get the viewers to understand the gist of the world - any exposition beyond that can (it doesn't have to) lead to sinking enjoyment of the viewer.

In a film viewers don't want the characters to discuss and explain what and why they do it - they want them to do it and if necessary explain it with their actions.

Pls do not misunderstand - character development is obviously important and if you need exposition to do that then you should do so, but many LNs tend to throw an excessive amount of specific terms at the reader, many of which the normal anime viewer just doesn't need...

As for the certain scene you said they left away from the last volume, I guess it is about the talk with the chairman.
Honestly that talk would be nonsense in the anime - yeah you raise the stakes by that, but it doesn't become relevant until the halfway point of the series (Vol. 5 and 6)

So why adding it? Yeah you would raise the stakes and maybe get the viewers to be more involved in the story, but said involvement quickly gets replaced by annoyance if the stakes are more or less forgotten in the course of the anime.


In the end you wanted a perfect, near 1-to-1 adaptation from the novel to the anime.
That just does not work as book and TV are 2 completely different media and by adding
"unneeded" information at a point you can easily annoy the anime-only viewers (and those tend to be the majority ;-))

I do not disagree that 1 more episode per novel would have been better as the pace could come down a bit but if I'm honest the result could have been far worse than it currently is and as long as the anime-only viewers are entertained I as novel reader have no problem with the anime ^^

As for the fight in EP 2: yeah it could have been more spectacular but it once more could have been far worse.

After rewatching episode 1, I just realized that Mari was there on her own making a deal with the enemies. Did Kusanagi forget or just let it go?

Then again, if Mari did got amnesia, that means she didn't remember the stuff she did in the past like in episode 1? What would happen when she regain her memory back? So many questions and episode 4 is so far away T_T

Still best girl though...

The Ouka-hate is still going strong but showing her backstory properly could have helped to characterize her properly. Not to mention explaining Takeru's abilities, style and showing those certain scenes were important for his characterization (both talk with the chairman for showing his character and also the one at the end). How many people even understood why Ouka didn't use Vlad before and why it suddenly disappeared......not that it matters. Some of the scenes that could have added the dark vibe to this show are cut out.

Dragon_Slayer_X said:
The only problem is once you read the source you will realize just how bad the adaptation was and how much potential was wasted. I would rather have a proper or good adaptation (no need to 1:1) or should i say advertisement than a utterly rushed or simply bad one. .

Jagd84 said:

What potential? Vol1-4 are are decent at best and ultimately mediocre in general. Vol 5 is where the plot kicks into gear and Antimagic potential shows rather than merely hints of "maybe this might be really good".

Jagd84 said:

An adaptation being super faithful doesn't mean it is a good a show, especially if the source is average. Even if SL decided to only do 3 vols and give every vol 4 episode treated most people just calling this LN slow trash just like Asterisk and nobody would really care for a 2nd season.

Jagd84 said:

This pacing is the real reasonable way adapted all 5 vols and end the show on memorable note and bring interest towards the better books of 7-11. If SL manages to accomplish that than adaptation is success regardless of you personal feeling. As you said you yourself, an adaptation does not need to be 1:1 to be good, it should empathizes the best aspects of story and that is what SL is doing. If you don't like it or there still the LN.
