Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records is your typical cliché harem anime, with bits of comedy, action, magic, and of course high-school girls. Now, bashing this anime for that would be very illogical, since the target audience is not the people that look for a good storyline, it's not the people that look for a lot of character development, and it's not the people that want to decode an anime in every single aspect. Therefore judging it on these factors does not make sense, so I will judge it based on it's intended audience, and based on the overall delivery.

This anime is for people that want to enjoy a bit of cliché, it is for the people that don't mind the slightly erotic schoolgirl uniforms and it is for the people that enjoy a bit of magical action thrown into the mix. Now don't get me wrong, it's not all fanservice, there is a plotline, there is some character development, but nothing that hasn't been done before, and like previously mentioned, these factors are irrelevant, due to the intended audience of this anime. The characters are likable, the MC is fairly unique in many aspects, with some character development, and decent backstory. We do explore a bit about the backgrounds of some of the students of the magic academy, and the characters that were previously associated with the MC, but obviously with there being only 12 episodes, you can't expect those to be very thorough or go into a lot of depth. The art is average, it is nothing that differentiates itself from the other anime, therefore it is not something I want to write about. The sound and music do help the story portray the different themes, and it does help the viewer understand the mood and the situation, although again, I'd say it's average.

To conclude, I have enjoyed this anime for what it is, I think it has delivered what it aimed to deliver to it's intended audience, and in my opinion, it is a great anime to watch if you're looking for something to kill the time with. It also did well on keeping me intrigued, even though it's fairly predictable at times, at no point did I feel like not wanting to watch the next episode, probably due to the attachment I had to the characters, and the contrasting, complex character of Glenn's, the fact that he is not at all portrayed as a strong MC, and his creative solutions when it comes to problem-solving. So, I think if you do have some spare time, and you're looking for an anime that just wants to make you cheer up, laugh, and enjoy yourself, then do give Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records, and personally, I would rate this anime as 7/10.
