When I started watching this anime I thought that it could become moderately good if it focused on comedy, which is what I thought it was about at first, but the work failed by trying to take itself seriously and wanting to give it a serious tone. that by not finishing convincing it only ends up being pretentious
The anime copies a lot from others, and that's not necessarily bad, the problem is that it only copies bad things from others, the gigantic school in which there are only 4 important students, powers that are not fully explained, the girls who fall in love of the protagonist for no reason, the deaths of characters that are fixed because the story has to continue, the children who have been doing magic for a short time and who already surpass the adults and are the strongest in the world
This is not counting the terribly generic villains who are only motivated by the most horrible cliché after "Conquer the world" which is "Destroy the world" wow, how surprising, yes eh, great villain, yes of course, even in a part the villain says something like “Why do you want to protect Vermeil? If her powers cause destruction, she's evil” or something, I mean, you want her to destroy the world, what the hell are you talking about? the dialogues are horrible too
An organization of villains that tries to be deep but fails, even in the end they leave and leave alto and vermeil alone because yes, there was no explanation, they are in an unreachable place from the outside, nobody is going to bother them, another villain arrives on top who is also platinum and they decide to leave, they are tremendous clowns
All this bronze, silver, platinum gold is also useless, what does it matter to see Alto trying to be bronze or silver when we know that he already fought with a platinum, it does not create any tension, and the tests also could not be more boring, written exam, and put magic in a sphere, they could be much more interesting to at least be worth seeing the way forward or something but no
Vermeil's past is more of the same, a super cliché of sad pasts, which again feels out of the tone of the work, trying to be more serious and trying to offer more than it really can and to top it off not even the animation, the opening the ending or the ost help in the least
