what studio would you guys prefer that would realistically adapt a show like this?
white fox? a-1? satelight? madhouse? seven-arc? lidenfilms? etc
but honestly i prefer seven-arc or madhouse because they know how to treat magic things to look like a magic rather than trick. but if we want to show anos tyrant nuance, lidenfilms is fit with it i think. in mahou shoujo asuka and schwarzesmarken, lidenfilms show worst situation in war or battlefield to look worst rather than "oh, it is just a simple battle scene we can skip it bye" nuance like silverlink. it is like silverlink see maou gakuin equal to prisma illya or their recent anime after chaos child, it is just silverlink is not suit with "these kind of scene" and maou gakuin is like that for "early arc" especially for prologue part sadly
A-1 might have been decent, i dont think this is high enough profile for madhouse to have taken on. i guess we will see how goes. I've liked a few of silver link's shows and hated a couple. From the pvs it doesn't look horrible, but I am not expecting a masterpiece.
As for the studio, Silver Link has been good with isekai recently like BOFURI and Otome Game. The other series they worked on are Fate Illya Prisma franchise, Rakudai Kishi, Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism, and Strike the Blood.
I don't think we have to worry about the anime quality. This is probably gonna be a decent good anime to pass time but it probably won't stand out as much when compare to other popular Silver Link adaptation.

illya look good because it have "fate" in the title. strike the blood adaptation can survive until have IV season because the LN can make the reader to expect more
but sadly not with this one, if people know better about maou gakuin until at least have read big arc 1, they will know how hard is to adapt it as anime. moreover the author have add "cruelty" tag at the wn and use it fully every time the story development near climax and this is what silverlink can't do. try remember again what silverlink do to chaos child especially to sumo sticker design and "thought leading phenomenon", both of them is important part in chaos child and silverlink ruin it
someone if not all has already said this, but just incase because of the "HYPE" forgot to mention it.
i'm talking about "Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja - Sekai Saikyou no Kenja ga Sara ni Tsuyokunaru Tame ni Tensei Shimashita" (LN/Manga) the synopsis is very similar though i havent read the LN yet and will get to it after this post.

SCREW YOU COVID-19 who ever you are!
only synopsis but the content is too difference when shikkaku mon is written to easy to read and maou gakuin is written for people who interest with the lore or truth seeker (?)

yeah i figure it out will reading the LN coz i currently on the latest "Shikkaku Mon" but still i think Shikkau Mon should have anime not because its a better story but about "IRIS-CHAN"!
anilandrot said: From the summary it sounds like its gonna be generic trash. Anyone can convince me otherwise?
if you only see the anime only but if you read the wn until reach half of big arc 1, it is hard to called it as trash. of course if you have enough willpower to read until that part
being blunt on first glance it and title alone i just looks like one of those magic school trash OP amines ,will it be enjoyable maybe but i've stopped trusting people when they say this kinda shit is good
i prefer the ln art style more than the manga,the manga art style is actually very good,but arnos in manga look like character from shoujo manga
also,as for story n plot it's decent at best in the novel,there are quite many boring parts tho,so that's quite problem
but i'm sure most manga readers or anime only watchers wouldn't care about that as long as they could see the mc being OP n kicking everyone asses

If that's your honest opinion, I doubt you've seen Kenja no Mago or Death March, because those two isekai.....OMG...
I hate to break it to you, but BOFURI was only "good" because aside from Interspecies Reviewers, Somali, and I'd say Hanako-kun, everything else airing during the winter season wasn't exactly worth watching. NTM it's one of those interesting anime that fell flat after 3-4 episodes, which became an SAO clone with a cute girl about said Mary Sue cute girl with a shield getting all her shit handed to her on a silver platter.
Otome Game, while a decent isekai, and "good" by Silver Link standards, one of the better ones in recent years, it ain't nothing to write home about either when I compare it to reverse harem like Ouran Highschool Host Club or Kiss Him, Not Me. Hell, we've seen comedic, dumb baddies handled much better, Team Rocket anyone?
I can't imagine this'll be any good. It's Silver Link, I'd rather place my chips if JC Staff were to do it than them. Also, for those trying to defend this, you DO realize this is the same studio who set isekai 2 steps back when they put out Death March and put the nail in the coffin with Kenja no Mago, right? This is one of the reasons why anime's the way it is, this community doesn't even check the studios or the people involved in the anime they watch and tend to hype up, much less hold those same studios and directors accountable for when they eff up or make a poor adaptation, yet somehow this community has time to make a debacle on who deserves to be #1, Interspecies Reviewers or FMA Brotherhood. Last I checked, there's more to anime than there is, "Bro, this fight scene's gonna be EPIC when animated! I can't wait to get to this part of the story, shit's gonna get real!"
Speaking of Kenja, it's worth noting its director, Masafumi Tamura, will be directing it alongside Shin Oonuma, and two directors on its own already isn't a good thing. Hell, Bofuri's director Mirai Minato (as well as Masamune-kun director) is assitant director. Anyone remember Circlet Princess, its character designer will be here as guess who....the ONLY possible good thing is its series compositioner, Jin Tanaka, who wrote the script for Sing Yesterday For Me and was series composition for Yuru Camp.
I'd say he could save it, but given who's directing this, and the fact Silver Link is infamous for their lack of creativity and innovation, if even Rie Takahashi can't save an isekai, I don't think Tanaka can save this.
@NoahC123
That's your opinion.
I watch anime for entertainment and to pass time. I also don't care about rewatch.
As a daily consumer of isekai, I seen more worst and boring isekai series.
If you don't like them, it's just you bro. I don't think you can change my taste toward a certain genre. I like ecchi/moe/cute moment. So what?
Is Ouran HS Host club/Kiss Hime getting more seasons? NO, I move on to the next anime...
I like Ouran Host Club, but not Kiss Him. I also didn't like Interspecies Reviewers, I prefer Monster Musume or Keijo over it. Just my opinion.
After procuding two good anime (Bofuri and Hamefura), I guess Silver Link. had to make a Kenja no Mago 2.0
this is not isekai dude, know the difference between isekai and pure fantasy
I just said it looks like it, not that it is
Even if it DOES look like isekai, which admittedly, it kinda does, I wouldn't exactly be giving Silver Link that much credit here. It's mind blowing how many people are shouting praise to Silver Link for Bofuri and Hamefura, when they're the same damn studio who put out Kenja no Mago a year ago, Death March a year before that, Masamune-kun's Revenge 3 years ago, among other things.
The ONLY reason Bofuri recieved as much praise as it did in the winter season is because aside from Interspecies Reviewers, Somali, Eizouken, and I'd say Hanako-kun, there's a lack of competiton, and the show was mediocre, praised for the same reasons people hate SAO. Same can be said for Hamefura, aside from COVID-19 affecting anime.
Giving praise to SL for 2 anime that technically should've won a "Thanks for showing up!" award when they set isekai back with Death March and Kenja is like giving EA a pizza party for the success of Jedi Fallen Order when they f**ked the Star Wars and gaming fanbase over with microtransactions in Battlefront 2 in late 2017.
I just watched the first episode and I'm not even hyped. Not really feeling excited to watch the next episode. But I'm still gonna watch it and see how it turns out. I am curious about the other girl too.
I wish the manga would get updated, its still stuck at 13 chapters unless it has progressed on other sites. I don't desire to read the LN.
From looking at Silver Link's works, much of their stuff is a hit or miss type of situation for me when I watched them back then. Some of their works I am familiar with and kinda enjoyed whereas stuff like death march just felt bland.
Edit: I saw someone just say that the manga adaptation got dropped so it won't update anymore. Rip me.

it is not dropped but mangaka still not recover his health and that is start at last december 2019 iirc. the problem is it's hard to find mangaka twitter account to see his progress or condition to maou gakuin manga
I'm hooked. I love how he uses his demonic powers and he doesn't take anything seriously, even death, because he thinks of those things beneath him.... which they kind of are. I love it so far. It's probably going to be one of my favorites this season.

well,
in the source material the soul is called a root. As long as that is not destroyed as shown in episode 1 one can return to life an infinite amount of times

soul is not same to a root in this series because soul is needed to do resurrection but you can't resurrect annihilated a root
except using magic with high restriction to recover a root
Not my favorite anime this season. I'm still not hyped. I've seen lots of anime that is better than this one. Although some of those series that I've doesn't really have that good animation at least the story is intriguing not like this one.

I am assuming you mean an anihilated root. Even so not sure I understand why you claim is different. Appart from being possible to split a root which is not possible for a soul I see no difference. Also the other difference is one cannot destroy a soul but can do this to a root. Appart from these things which in some religions like hinduism and buddhism is also possible for souls I see no difference.

the difference is come later especially when enter arc 3, 8, 10 and 11
basically it will go like this. to live, you must need a soul and a vessel for that but you can't live if you don't have soul. so where is the soul comes? it comes from root and root intensity is more strong than soul so it doesn't matter how many times you are killed as long as it is directed to the soul & the vessel, the root will generate a new soul for you (this is the basic knowledge to do resurrection/Ingal in this series)
the problem is the root now, just because the root intensity is more strong than soul it doesn't mean it will not go annihilated. when the root almost reach annihilation, it will generate strong magic power and enhance the soul to make it possible to use strong magic. the result of an annihilated root is "completely death without any chance to resurrected" and it is "completely impossible to reincarnate an annihilated root", if vessel for the soul is still remaining it doesn't mean an annihilated root can revived from it because vessel is just vessel it doesn't have any relation to the root
but of course it is not impossible to avoid the root got annihilated because anos have been created a new magic at the same time when the braver kanon killed him to make he enter reincarnation coincidentally. the magic name is Agrnemt, it can recover damaged root more fast than normal regeneration (normal regeneration for root is very very slow) and if it is used to revived an annihilated root then it should used together with Revide (time control magic) to send Agrnemt to the future where his root almost annihilated. sadly anos should predicted "which future and which timing that his root will go annihilated" to avoid his root got annihilated
to make a root meet annihilation, the attacker should use specific magic that can deal damage right to the root not just to the soul/vessel or just use a massive amount of magic power to normal magic that can raise it power to deal enough damage to the root. but there is more smart method to do it effectively like using magic eyes to see where is your opponent root located to raise accuracy rate to attack the root
that's why hierarchy between root and soul in this series will be like this
1 existence only have 1 root (there is exception of course like kanon that have 7 root or eleonora that can produce pseudo root) and a root can generate annihilated soul (through Ingal to do resurrection) until root got annihilated completely. moreover it is possible to use magic if vessel and soul got annihilated as long as root still exist
of course there is more explanation about root in arc 10 and 11 but the presume is to understand above explanation before i can explained it more

Yes I am familiar with hindu-buddhist theology as presented in Garden of Sinners and other similar materials, it just over complicates things for no reason in my opinion. I am assuming you are a LN reader since manga has not got that far yet
