School life doesn't seem too out of the ordinary although we do get some magical action this time around.

It's hard to tell who the strongest among the main cast is but Abramelin seems to have a cool head among the group along with her talent. Hopefully the show takes more time to develop these characters tbh.

Another good episode. I think this was more interesting than the first one, because so many different things happened this time.

That black cat with the wizard hat is adorable. ^^

The Headmaster Solow's office looks very beautiful. I liked all those little details.

That bug chase was pretty hilarious.

Tori's nose is awesome. :D She can smell everything. Her "sniff sniffs" are so cute.

I wonder what's with that mysterious guy who killed those soldiers? Well, let's wait for some answers.

Well-deserved Victoria sandwiches for the girls after all the hard work.

The art was nice this ep and we had a tone shift halfway through.
Honestly tho, the girls stuff is kinda boring but the tone change makes it very interesting to see whats going on.
Also, MC got quite the sniffer on her face.

I wish they'd have shown the Unison Magic class, rather than skipping over it to focus on bugs.

This anime reminds me of a series that was made based on a game for the sake of advertising the game and not for the sake of telling any sort of story -- God dammit, I Googled it and it is a mobile game. That makes so much more sense now.

I like Hammit and Solow. They’re both waifus haha. Perdura is very cute too, very Sabrina the Teenage Witch (the 90s one).

These girls are all way too cute. They have a fun rapport with lots of cute banter. But then there’s a “warning” flashing across the screen and shit just gets real. One minute we see these adorable girls picking and eating wild strawberries and bring cute and shit, next minute we’re seeing dudes literally getting cut in half by some guy called Lucian Butzer. Wtf? Lol.

And like right after that, the girls fight a “bug” that’s a cute heat fairy covered in soot. They clean up and then sit down for some tea and snacks. It’s all so cute it makes me think I hallucinated that last segment lol.

What even is going on, man?

Odd little series lol, don't really know what to make of it.

The "Sniff sniff" is a lot more cuter when it isn't some middle aged guy doing it

Otsuka was really in his bag with these designs Omg the girls are so damn cute. People gonna call this boring but idc this is good eats. 20 mins of cute girls doing magical shit is just what I want.

Another tonal shift mid episode this time. That warning flashing across the screen letting us know not to get too comfortable?? Was the book the girls grabbed related to the one the dude had when he was killing the soldiers?

Can’t wait for the next ep.


Hmmm, fetish

Arsnotoria is slowly getting into the groove of her classes, and Hammit reminds me of the talking hat in Harry Potter, while Headmaster Solow keeps everything in check.

The only (still) notable thing about Tori is her sniffing, for the girls are Pentagrams of flowers to check on bugs that attract unwanted attention to them, so they have to do the extermination every now and then.

Finding one roaming around in this humongous school, the girls find themselves being helpless, that is until Tori deciphers the bug and finds it to be a fairy rather in need of a clean. That's one of many issues down, and the girls need more training along with thei supposed CGDCT downtime, that's for sure.

Also, these warning signs which tell a darker story, as such with one they call the "White Flash" Lucian Butzer, kinda wondering what his character will bring into this game adaptation.

For now, nothing is really happening. It's boring...

Also in case you were wondering about that wobbly figure that the girls were bowing to in the first/second episode - it's supposedly a player. Maybe they've decided to do it this way because you can choose a gender.

The fairy this episode was a false alarm, there might already be a man with the academy, the one glitchy girl who appearance is covered, seems to have short hair and might be a guy.


That's a good catch, I didn't think they were hiding in a book, just some random barrier nobody seems to be able to find so far.

I wonder what is it about this show that nothing really happens yet I don't get any bored, and the girls are super cute but don't felt overdone, the tone shifts are also pretty cool and look great.

This anime reminds me of Harry Potter, mainly the castle it like Hogwarts 2.0. I find that so fascinating to me. It looks like Hogwarts, the bell chime to signal class, and the vibe of it is just too cool. The bad guys at the end of episode 1 reminded me of the Death Eaters from Harry Potter, and their grey uniform where the logos are reminds me of the cloaks from Harry Potter. One more thing the fairies reminds me of creatures from Harry Potter, which are the house elves they do a similar task not exactly though. They also are giving us personality of the characters which is pretty neat. I love this anime so far.

100% relaxing. I feel comfy seeing these girls living their magical life. The characters and their outfits are very pretty. Also the bg/world is beautiful. My cup of coffee i guess. <4

Meh. While I like the slow pace of the girls portions, the whole teasing "le edgy ongoing background story" is going to get old fast. Hope we get something interesting next episode otherwise I'll drop it.

Otherwise, I do like the character designs and the ED.

  • Even though the five girls' costumes including accessories seem kind of troublesome to draw, the teachers' ones are astoundingly elaborate.
  • Also tinges of rosy cheeks and eye shadows are added. Very high calory works are needed.
  • Although part of the premises are similar to that of Kunoichi Tsubaki, men in this show seem really scary and tough.
  • According to the line of the knight thing, he thinks he is against the evil. But the girls are to fight with those men. Some kind of twist is set up?
  • Weapons: sword, parasol, bandage, nimbleness... and muffler?
  • Tea time: Victoria sandwich, this time.

I've been thinking something is off with the show, and one thing I was thinking about was the audio mixing/sound direction. After watching that gameplay, I'm weirded out more than ever. That fight seemed to be the most boring and inconsequential thing out there due to an almost complete lack of bgm and appropriate sound effects. It feels weightless and almost dreamlike (in a bad way) when all the girls are just sort of yelling their lines into a void. What a weird creative decision. If the show is taking queues from this, it might explain why it feels off as well.

getting better. If this is an rpg game, the girls are all extremely low level beginners. While those scary guys at the op theme are all max levelled. LOL

it's a bit of a surprise the girls have to manually put on their costumes. I guess no magical girl transformation.. automatic putting on clothes here.

the song at the OP is starting to get addicting for me. Watched this episode at least three times today. Sign that I might be buying something later if things stay the same.

looking forward to next week! :)

This Show is absolute WEAPONIZED MOE at a level I've never seen before...It's like with each and EVERY scene is made to be as moe as could POSSIBLY BE! The animation is freaking gorgeous; LIDENFILMS always knocks it out of the park! Mell is definitely my favorite so far. She hits all the marks...

☑ - Tomboyish

☑ - Genki as fuuuuudge

I dunno about the wrest of you, but I'm loving this, and can't wait for each Thursday! This Season is so freaking stacked, it's unbelievable.

Well this is incredibly boring. After reading some of the comments on Crunchyroll, I was expecting it to be more like Madoka. Sure, Arsnotoria has some obvious twists to it, but everything feels so darn ham-fisted and dull. Hearing it's based on a mobile game certainly didn't help. Dropping the series for now, might pick it up again if I hear it gets actually good later on. Sigh.

That's quite an interesting theory.

In episode 1 I thought they were like in the sky or something... cause the girls during Tea Party mentioned "going down to London" "requires Headmaster permission"

But looks like they're literally in "another world", possibly inside books as you mentioned.

Thing is... if the books in the real world gets destroyed, does that mean the Academy and the girls also die?

(or maybe they can't destroy the books, but they can destroy the caretakers in the real world and slowly invade the book and destroy it from the inside)

If it's this... does that also mean there are multiple Academies of books out there? are they able to communicate with each other with magic somehow?

___ ___ ___

And the MC be SNIFFING yet again... LOL

Also, are they the only "students" in this Academy? Cause they haven't shown us any other students besides the 5. (even tho the Magic Cat mentioned the "bug" was scaring the "other students"

What an overreacting cat, for thinking that cute fairy was a threat. It's way more useful that the cat.

Honestly, I'm confused by the direction of this series.

Not such a fabulous episode IMO, but I'm hanging in there for now.

It's really only the promise of a darker tone that drew me in in the first place, so I wonder how the show's going to balance those expectations going forward. People who want to see the dark-fantasy element may not sit through too much more SOL, while SOL fans may be deterred if there gets to be too much emphasis on the dark-fantasy.

... Also gotta admit that literally flashing the word " W a r n i n g " dramatically across the screen is a little bit funnier the second time around.

Let's face the truth.
This is not an animation of a game.
This is just a sequence of (unnecessary prolonged) game events(CGs) with "auto play" turned on. Play-through like. Looks cute but lacks substance.

Ehh, it's basically more of what I got from the first episode. The only difference thing being that the only visually interesting shot was the one with the rope tightening against the wall during the green haired girl's descent. Last episode had a couple more. Just one more episode.
