Well this felt kinda fast on the pacing side but i can't say i'm disappointed was better then i thought putting the cliches side just gotta get that first boob grab out of the way right?...


was getting a little annoyed with shows revolving around guns people never really get hurt so me thinking it was gonna be all PG was sorta surprised with the ending scenes


all i want to say is Please be good? i'm tired of all these mediocre LNs and with 2 of the 3 big ones this season that are supposedly actually decent i want it to be true.

heh and for once i actually liked the MC

Looked good until he 'accidently' grabbed her boob, just had to roll my eyes over that (same as Gakusen Toshi Asterisk). Not judging the entire show over that though.

My reaction exactly. I really like this anime but the Ecchi moments are way too forced and ruin the mood just a little. But i also see how they made fun of how generic the ecchi scenes are, anyone else notice that?

So I guess every anime now just has to have a boob grab in their first eps?

Can someone that read the ln or whatever tell me if this is good or gets good later on? I'm so fucking sick of this shit rn. This is the third show I've watched this season that has that whole "MC that is supposedly weak in Fantasy school that gets bitches (i know not yet but im assuming that harem tag is there for a reason), main girl be tsundere and then reveal that MC is op and is actually not weak" type of shit.

This show may not resemble the 2 other shows that are airing this season as much (which are pretty much identical to eachother) but it does remind me of that Sky wizard academy crap that aired last season and maan that was garb. Just pls. This needs to stoooooop. However if this show genuinely becomes good later then I would wanna know so I don't early drop it.

As for the episode, it was meh. Animation is alright. Not really sure where this show is headed.


This series is nothing like Sky Wizard Academy. It gets really good later on.

I would give it at least 3 episodes before you decide.

IMO, the LN really starts to pick up after volume 5 (like crazy good) but the beginning is kind of generic and weak (personally almost dropped the LN myself).

Since it is going to be split cour (2 seasons) and adapting up to volume 9, it won't be as generic as LN harem cliche's that have no overarching plot/action.

Thanks for the info! :) Well I guess that's good to hear, I'm not a fan of dropping shows but this season's crap has been getting to me. Time to see where this show goes

well every character has their own little arc so theres good devlopement. AMA is also a novel known for having good action, so you can expect amazing action scenes almost every 2 episodes

lol Why do you keep bringing those "LN LN" things in your comment? We give the first impression based on the anime, not the LN. If the very first impression is bad and it makes us lose interest in this anime, then so be it. Don't bring LN in this, it's kinda.. stupid.

So, this show, Gakusen Toshi Asterisk, and Rakudai Kishi no Calvary are the three generic magic battle highschool anime this season. Two heroine intros with the girls in their underwear and one in a bunnygirl outfit (So I was 2/3rds right about the girl intros). Generic, but good shows for passing time.

The action in this was surprisingly really good.

The first episode was pretty rushed, so the drama bits felt kinda forced compared to the LN that had more time to build it up. But the episode was still good nonetheless definitely the best of the LN battle harem anime's this season (so far).

I'm especially looking forward to later on which will have more action and drama.

That was alright I guess.

I could've sworn I read somewhere at some point, that the sword guy was actually super strong and he was helping the squad get their shit together (almost like a kuusen madoushi type situation).

So I went in with that mindset and it turned out to be totally not true, which is fine. A little disappointing that everyone on the team is basically autistic though.

The visuals were ok, but seeing as how this was Silver Link's bigger project, I was kind of expecting better.

Oh well. If there was any indication this show is going to be good, it's the giant shipping container filled with containers of dead bodies. You know it's going to be a party when the bad guys stuff a few dozen corpses into some fish barrels.

How many shows this season had a boobgrab in the first episode? Lol
The beginning was amazing, but things went downhill.
Felt really rushed despite the fact that I haven't read the original source.
One thing that bothered me was that the girl didn't seem bothered by the boobgrab afterwards...?

Woah, is it just me or did we get some seriously high tempo pacing?
I feel like Ootori just got the same amount of character development and reveals in 1 EPISODE that most shows spend their WHOLE SERIES on...

Was an okay start. I can see the potential to get better that the LN fans are preaching about.
We'll see if it actually lives up to the hype.

The beginning was like a teaser about what's to come................next episode. So don't worry you will get to see those scenes.

Also Ouka did criticize Takeru more than the rest.........but she has other higher priorities than worrying about that.

Nah i think that was some other show. The unit is compromised of unique individuals.........they are not weak by any means but they all have their own issues.

Pretty rushed episode but I guess it wasn't that bad. Glad they kept the gore in. It's not quite clear yet but this series is a lot darker than it appears to be. If anyone watching this expecting to see lots of ecchi scenes. I'm sorry to say that you will be disappointed.

You know just because the source material is good doesn't mean its anime adaptation is also going to be good. There is a thing called a bad adaptation.

Anyways I found this episode to be pretty dull, honestly. And I also found it to be rushed. The characters were pretty generic, ranging from same old mc you see in every anime to the female who kicks ass but only wants to act by herself. The only character I actually liked is the sniper girl. The action wasn't all that great, I even question some bits (how the hell do you miss a person who is right in front of you, I don't care how fast she's moving, she is still a large body of flesh 2ft in front of you). They introduced the tragic past of a character we just met and hardly know, tell me why should i feel bad for her?

I'm still going to watch this, as I have seen shows that have bad 1st ep but greatly improve afterwards.

Also question, these kids are students right? As in training to become inquisitors or whatever right? So why are they letting them take on life threatening missions that can kill them, when they haven't even finished the academy yet?

Walking into half naked girls and accidental boobgrabs. They are really pushing their boundaries. But still seems more entertaining than some of the other anime of the season. I will give it that.

What the hell was that fight scene? first its serious then he's playing it off then they're serious again and then they play it off again since he calmed down because he heard his sister.... what the hell?! Thank god she came and finished the job. Then they actually blame her for working by herself? I mean have you people even tried to evaluate your performance? No one in their right mind would want you as teammates.

Stupid episode and it's meaningless fan service isn't exactly making me appreciate a thing in it. I'm giving it 2 more episodes, if its the same it'll be the first drop of the season for me.

well this was adapted pretty much on spot. the first novel is pretty generic and cliche, but that stops. the reason it felt rushed is because the light novels are like this too :v

Not a fan of forced drama.
from what I saw at the beginning of the episode I thought it going to be something like hidden no aria.
and later on near the end of 1st ep. we are shown dead children in dustbins and a dead girl on a table which appears nude.

definitely not cool.

I don't mind dark drama (Black Lagoon for example is my fave), but don't mix ecchi and comedy.

Why... does every - SINGLE - anime have to start itself out with the MC GROPING A CHICK!?!?!? (Yes, I know that's a hyperbole so don't freaking call me out on it)

Seriously, who the heck continues to see this idiocy and thinks "That was an excellent use of animator talent and screentime."

Also, Ohtori's history exposition came out of nowhere. Even with what she just saw, even with how much she hates those people, there was no actual trigger I can see that made the 'a witch killed my family' a necessary reveal at that moment.

Please don't get me wrong, the episode itself was ok, but I am getting so freaking sick and tired of the exact same fanservice fodder mechanisms being used for every single show. Some of the most popular anime in existence prove that crap doesn't need to be there, so who is it in the industry that still tells the animators that they need to make a dozen or so frames of this nonsense?

Well her history isn't fully shown yet.......so patience young man. You will understand next episode. Her backstory isn't pretty.

I will give you a hint about the trigger though:

She reacted after seeing the "young girl stabbed with a knife"

Well i guess people miss small details but it things will clear up next episode.

From what I see; it didn't even seem VERY ecchi. I've seen worse and consider this even better than those other typical Harem anime. I love the LN to this series though, and Shuu with every post is definitely right lol.
