Reviews

Well, I'm here to give you a short review of this anime since short was my experience with it. Now, don't jump too much ahead into thinking that I considered this anime a complete garbage. Well, as I mentioned, my experience was short because I didn't see the point of investing too much into this anime. At first, I really thought this would be a good show. One of the things that caught my eye at first was the intro, not only the song but the intro itself. It gave me some good vibes and the first few episodes helped keep the hype up. But I find myself watching something that I was caring less and less.


Why? For me, in particular, one of the most turn-offs of this show was by the far the looooooong, extremely loooooooong amount of time they spend into detailing the complexity behind the spells used. I'm sure you've seen enough to know that the story takes place in a modern world a bit like our own where people learned how to use magic through technology. But this is what I thought was so poorly delivered. The amount of time and detail spent to explain to you a pseudo-science that doesn't even exist is so damn boring that you find the need to measure how much time you need to skip to get to the end of it. At one duel, the protagonist go to such lengths to explain what he did and how but really, why would you care? I'm sure there's a lot of real life physics behind it, but it just makes so much heavier than it could be that you can help but think how much more complex it will, thus the main reason why I decide to stop watching.


And the characters didn't help much either. At first, I really thought the protagonist and his incestuous sister (another point that I'm sure you will find a lot among the reviews) would evolve into something meaningful, but at some point I was getting the vibe that it wouldn't change that much (it's worth noting that this particular topic of my review shouldn't be considered a guiding light since I couldn't go pass the episode 9). The other characters also were kinda bland and cookie-cutter in comparison with other shows. (again, don't take this too seriously, since I didn't get to see much of it)

The story did show a lot of promise though. A world where magic plays a significant role in human relations and country politics, to the point where society, or at least the school where the story focus I guess, is divided into two groups according to their potentials.
But it didn't stick with me enough to disregard the other points I made.

Overall, I don't think everyone should completely consider it not worth watching, but I have so many other things that I want to see/read that I didn't think the time spent on this one would be worth it. But if you get yourself into it, go for it. I'm sure that are some things that you'll find enjoyable in this one, if you can ignore the huge amount of exposition behind almost every aspect of magic and incestous relationship between the main characters.
