Interesting premise and good animation had me excited to watch this anime this season.
This anime however greatly disappoints. Eight episodes in and feel no connection with any character nor any interest in any character, the reason is simple too, the show has offered nothing substantial to grasp onto, the primary protagonist has a bit of a mystery surrounding who he really is but is kept very hidden even from the viewer to where I question why even bother with it at all.
The show is about a 7th powerful magic yet only the 6 have been slightly mentioned as of episode 8...
Maybe 2 story arcs have
...
happened thus far? I'm really not sure as the story is so haphazard and nothing feels of impact that it a start or finish goes unnoticed.
Oh and most of the school hates the primary 6 characters, cause elitism of one type or another? It feels like lazy writing to have so many people actively hate on the group for no good reason. Just the same kind of obstacle to kinda but not really develop the characters yet horribly fail to do so. I can excuse tired tropes when they achieve a goal, this show fails to solidify any new facets of the primary characters, a side character might develop a bit just to be lost in the endless crowd right after.
Waiting for something, anything really to kick off and after 8 episodes still waiting. If a episode get's delayed I'm honestly not sure if I would notice it missing that week or that it get delayed when it did air.
If this was nothing but a huge tease for a game that launches in October I could understand why they are doing what they are doing, outside of that however it is very lacking.
Sorry for the lack of finer details, the issue is nothing has been memorable enough to really note and I would need to be paid to watch it again to find those finer points.
There lays it's fatal flaw, nothing worth remembering, at least if it had bad story or enough story to create a plot hole there might be something that stick out, here it's like anything of note was sanded down to the point where it does not stick out.
