Kikansha no Mahou wa Tokubetsu desu (KnMwTd for short) is strong contender for my underrated anime for this season. The story is nothing we haven't seen before and the music is ok. What KnMwTd excels at compared to other similar titles is the pacing. Studio Arvo Animation has taken there time to build the world and introduce the characters whilst keeping the viewer interested. The animation quality is decent. The first fight in episode 1's monster had CGI so I was expecting that the rest of the season. However, I did not notice any obvious CGI the rest of the season (with some casting spells there must have been but the CGI worked). The fight scenes animations are all quite good compared to other anime in the genre. Although the characters personalities are not unique, you still become invested in there story. The main gripe that people are having is that in 3 minutes of the last episode they covered what should have been 4 episodes of next season. That may have brought the MAL score down. This should have a MAL rating of 7.5-7.8. It is a quality action/adventure/school anime that doesn't rush with decent animation. I'm looking forward to season 2. I recommend KnMwTd.
