If you're a shounen anime lover like me, who likes to see the likeable underdog mc rise from the bottom to the top with hardwork to become op despite people underestimating him or putting him in disadventageous situations, then THIS is for you!
So firstly I'll get into the pros:
Although I love shounen anime, I usually dislike anime where the mc hides his powers, because once he's shown them I'm kinda like well what now. BUT with Quanzhi fashi the mc keeps on evolving and getting stronger and ends up gaining more abilities he ends up hiding. So pro 1 the show keeps you interested!
In some anime the mc will hide his ability for flimsy reasons like not wanting to get involved in situations or etc, etc. Whereas Mo Fan (initially) is hiding his lightning powers so when he does show them, they're at a level where it can compete evenly with those who doubted. Long story short, he wants to put them in their place and honestly I LOVE the honesty! Pro 2: Straightforward and not self-victimy mc
Every shounen anime needs some competition and well, it's a magic school! The magic itself has rankings which magic users must improve o at different educational stages (high school, college). There are sometimes tournaments and competitions, (places for the mc to show what he can do!) I don't need to say more honestly. Pro 3: Competition
Although I've only mentioned the mc (Mo Fan) this doesn't mean the other characters aren't likeable or fleshed out. However as I've watched the anime from season 1 - 4 the main cast changes therefore I don't think they're worth mentioning, but the other characters do have their own development and roles in the plot. Pro 4 Likeable characters.
The anime has a comedic tone which is also a thumbs up for me!
Now onto the cons:
I read on another review that it is hard to translate Chinese directly because some words aren't available in the English Language, so because of this I think either a lot of details are missed or a lot of information isn't explained- but I think it's the first reason.
So because of that I'll explain that the anime is an isekai in case that confused you too and also any confusion about how the magic system works out, search it up. It's actually quite simple so you won't be confused for long.
I like the art but I think the animation could be better.
Honestly looking at this anime subjectively I don't think it should be rated so high HOWEVER it's EXACTLY my taste. So take that with a pinch of salt, but if you love shounen anime like me you should definitely check this out.
(The rest of this review is me ranting a bit, if you want ignore it)
I mean do you know how hard it is to find a magic school anime, with a likeable op mc that started as an underdog, and is constantly showing people up- I LOVE IT!
Sometimes you'll find anime like that but it will have lots of fanservice, or the mc is annoying and naive, or it's a harem for no reason, or the mc doesn't even need to put in any effort. I do like harems though, but it's annoying when there's harem and the mc is oblivious to it like he didn't bloody create it himself.
Anyways there's always something but for me, this anime is perfect. I also like arifureta and Tate no yuusha but there's more element of competition in this anime which I really enjoy!
