| To be honest, the first episode reminded me of black clover. Still gonna give it the 3 episode rule |
| In not a huge fan of Shounen series but this episode showed a bit of potential. There are some nice design ideas here but as with most Shounen it's hampered by generic character traits. MC want to get stronger, save the world etc. It's all been done a million times before. I just hope the show offers enough to rise above utter garbage like Boruto and Black Clover. |

I just hope the show offers enough to rise above utter garbage like Boruto and Black Clover. I agree, also this first episode fails to show to the viewer how Seth is different than any other shonen protagonist because they removed the "bad character traits" and humour by toning down the events happening. In the manga, in the first scene he beat the hell out of the cows because he thougt they were nemeses (he has a problem to recognize animals and since the have the exact same colour pattern and the peasants nearby were all sleping he thought of an attack)... instead in the anime he's "infuriating" them by accident. Also he break the egg of the nemesis on purpose just so he could beat it faster... Seth also don't want to be the best sorcerer at all (and the anime states it but it's totally the opposite of what he really thinks and say in the manga, that's why we're pretty pissed by this first episode). Seth don't give a shit about being the best he just wants to stop the dropping of Nemeses... but yeah I agree, none of this is shown in this first episode and that sucks... |

| It's generic in every aspects. And why do you have to make every adult in the town a complete idiot? It's such a lazy plot device to get us sympathise with the protagonist. |
 |
| Gotta support it simply because of it's background, and on top of that I can always go for a solid shounen anime lol |

Weebston said: As a person who hasn't touched the manga, it's looking kind of... generic so far. Typical shounen MC with a run-of-the-mill personality and weird voice (this can be a good thing though, reminds me of Gon from HxH). However, this is just the first episode, so I'll reserve my judgment for later on. If it doesn't pick up after 10 episodes, I'm out. And you're right about that, that's why we're pretty pissed as manga-readers, they totally failed to convey the personality of Seth in this first episode and removed what made him fun and special from the manga :/ I also had the "generic feeling" when I read the first volume of the manga, so it'll probably keep this feeling for a few more episodes I guess. |
| |
| I mean, it's fun. I don't know anything about the source material and I wasn't even planning on watching this, but I decided to try it out because I really enjoy shounen anime centred around magic. Even though it's pretty generic it's not like I didn't enjoy it. Well, you should never judge a shounen by it's first episode, so I'm interested to see where it goes. |

ahneeme said: ok so this is the forgettable shounen anime of the season, that in a few years time no one will remember it like Houshin Engi, elDLIVE, Sousei no Onmyouji, there's always a few of them every year I'm always amazed at how quick people are to judge (other people, art, series)... what's funnier is that it's exactly what Radiant is about and criticizes : judging without the will to know more... Also remember that's only the first episode, if you made the same assumptions when the first episode of Hunter x Hunter (2011) and One Piece were released, well... you kinda missed awesome shonen and stories just because of that mindstate. |

damn rereading the first chapter and I already laughed way too much compared to this first episode (that Ialso rewatched)... why make an anime adaptation if it is to censor and tone down what's making the source material funny and original... <__< Really hoping it will be more faithfull after the 5 first episodes (which are said to differ from the manga by a facebook post from the author :/) |

Didn't know it was made into an anime though. Also, eh, even if it ends up forgotten in a few years that's fine, there are so many animes coming out that most are bound to fade away. It's already a big achievement for the author and I'm happy for him. |

I agree but that's also a good advertising for the manga to have an anime adaptation being animated by japanese's studio... Also even if I'm sad that the jokes and Seth is failed as a character I enjoyed the episode, and am eagerly waiting to see how (bad ?) the following episodes will be faithfull :p |

The problem is that Ankama is so shit at handling funds that I wouldn't even trust them with baguette money. |
| This has all the ingredients I love. Unfortunately the first episode still didn't manage to catch me 100%, but there's a lot of potential. |

| A pretty normal first episode for a shounen i guess. It was fine. That voice definitly didnt fit Seth tho and annoyed me for most of the episode. |

| Most shounen protagonists are voiced by females... Such a minor thing that seems literally everyone here is bothered with for some reason. |

aoi0sora said: For Tommy I really don't get why they added him. He's only there to tease us that the society discriminates the sorcerers... But we learn that pretty soon so I'm really thinking that they added him so that Seth doesn't appear to talk to himself for 20 minutes like he does in the manga, and that is also one of his character trait X).somehow it feel that Tommy character is fan service one I hope also they don`t make it ecchi Also don't worry in the manga in 10 volumes there hasn't been even one ecchi scene... But I can't guarantee there won't be one on this adaptation. |

But I can't guarantee there won't be one on this adaptation. The only kinda "ecchi" thing that I could think of is that passing joke in vol... 7 I think ? where it's implied that a character goes commando under her dress (the "L'Origine du Monde" joke). |
| This wasn't half bad....Felt very shounen too So far I can say that the premise seems nice and the MC isn't unlikable either so I'll be sticking around to see how this'll stack up to all the classic shounen jump series out there |
| Well the manga is released by viz in english since last month so there won't be too much to wait, but if you're talking about scans then yes, only the first volume has been translated too (scan And official release) so far. Also even in France only the first 8 volumes can be found in scans (out of 10 volumes released right now) |

| bleach meets blue exorcist meets black clover. I know it is absurd but that was my impression. It seems generic to me and nothing special about it. |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| Average episode. The last scene kinda reminded me of the first accident in MHA. Hopefully the next episode will be better. |

| This feels somewhat dated. Not sure if it'll hold well in this day and age. Sure didn't manage to keep my attention very long before I tabbed away, multiple times. |
| Well now, my first drop of the season. Couldn't even get halfway through the first episode before asking myself why I'm wasting my time even trying to watch it. |
 |
| That was surprisingly really funny episode I didn't expect to like it that much now really looking forward to this series. The MC is very likable though. |

Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Mainstream shounen. I don't see much originality in the plot. Liked the musics though. I'll stick with it to see where it goes. |
