One such series is “Akashic Records of Bastard Magical Instructor,” about a sort-of-Hogwarts school of magic. Episode 1 is titled “The Unmotivated Bastard,” and the plot description on Crunchyroll reads, “Glenn is a bastard who only sleeps instead of teaching class at the Alzano Imperial Magic Academy.” Indeed, this is established in the episode, which also features a scene in which Glenn walks in on a roomful of his female students in their underwear, yells that he is not going to give in to the “cliché” that says he is now required to avert his eyes, takes a good, long stare and then is thrown back by an unseen force, blood spurting from his eyes. I am not making this up.


Well, are they really wrong?

Yeah, but judging an entire series from one episode is dumb.

It's hard not to admire its shameless use of every magical cliche known to the world of light novel.

Yep Rokudenashi is not the best anime out there, sometimes a bit entertaining though.

Though the most important question is why on anime streaming matter this guy only chose to speak about "rokudenashi" or about the old "fist of the north star" while there is "Attack on Titan" airing on crunchyroll.


The probable answer :

This guy has no fucking clue.

I find it amusing that the writer's name is also Glenn lol.

Well, he didn't say too much about anime itself. Just wish he'd pick a completed anime and watch the entire thing first.

They're probably going to say it's bait for pedophiles and should be removed from Crunchyroll.

Short answer: No, they are not wrong.

Long answer: Well, they're kinda wrong. There's anime that isn't degenerate trash, but it's so few and far between that to the outside observer they might as well not even exist.

One episode is the same amount of time it took me to drop the anime so I don't blame them.

the guy who wrote that article sucks at his job if he only picks 2 shows to base an entire platform on whether it's good or not.. just because one was trash doesn't mean the platform doesn't have good shows on it

Yeah the 1st ep wasn't the best but it wasn't bad either..it was average..You can't judge an anime after you watched only 1st ep..ep 1 is only the prologue..Overall the anime was really good
