The point is the author gave the MC not only super physical ability but also a cheat sword to break magic, right?
| @kuroneko99 Well of course. How else is this plot armor to work? |
Just me or do his head look absolutely gigantic here? |
| Animation is pretty decent and still has some cool shots there but fairly inconsistent in its quality and some drawings at times, didn't have anywhere near the impact that last week had and honestly, the competition is just way too high with well animated shows and some of those like The Elusive Samurai on the action front delivered way more than this in the action department. While Elusive Samurai had me more annoyed with the comedy, this one is less frustrating to watch but more boring with the actual story and characterization involved. Ultimately, the story and characterization matters way more to me personally than just the eye-candy and the writing has sucked here so far and offered me nothing to really be excited about with the plot to have high expectations and anticipation for. Maybe in another season, having cool animation for this would be better but in a season full of well-animated, cinematic shows, this show stands out even less as a result even with the animation and direction for action series being as it is. |
| I had my doubts in the first episode, but yeah, now I can say this story too came from the same manufacturing hub bazillions of isekai/fantasy have where the main guy is tortured through public humiliation from.. literally anyone, because plot demands that. Hope we do see something other than shiny colours and routine backflips going forward. Teacher got what he deserved though. |

| Poor Collette, she stands no chance. And after seeing the ED I can understand why. As old and played out as this "talentless beats talented in specific way" trope is, there is a reason why it still gets used - it just works, atleast when done well. Not that this is an outstanding or thought provoking plot, but atleast the production quality makes it nice to look at. The effects of Corona are truly over with how many good looking shows we have now. |

| will is all about willpower i like it this is ten percent luck twenty percent skill fifteen percent concentrated power of will |
| sad for orange girl.. she didnt have chance probably !! |
| visuals just as solid as the first episode and the choreography was neat as well. edward gives me snape vibes lol. bros hating on will's motivation to reach the top, but i'm all for it. i like how they addressed the no magic vs magic in this, was more interesting compared to similar shows. edward awarding only 5 credits after nearly killing him is diabolical though. lmao, five percent pleasure fifty percent pain and a hundred percent reason to remember the name |

@phantomfandom Rosti is a male. It sounded like a female seiyuu to me as well, which makes me think that the most likely explanation is the fan theory surrounding him.
| @Multilynx nah its common for japanese voice actresses to do male characters like with goku and naruto |

| @Multilynx yeah, there are some fan theory about the real identity of Rosti. I also need to mention that his seiyuu is credited as ???? This means that his seiyuu is a piece of crucial information to his real identity. And they did not want to reveal it yet.  |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Will is such a sweet kid. I was actively rooting for him during the fight with his teacher and I was so happy when he was able to scratch the teacher. I really hope that now he understands how strong our boy is. He also confessed his love for Elfaria which was cute and from the ED, it looks like she loves him just as much. Great episode. Nice OP and very cute ED. Can't wait for more of this and meet new characters. It looks like there are many characters that are fond of Will. Doesn't surprise me tbh. |

| @AkeZZZ I know! I was totally hoping they’d have his seiyuu listed and when I saw the ???? I knew they were going to make us wait for the payoff haha! |
| I get that Edward doesn't care about Will at all, but making him take the test without his sword is just low. It's the equivalent of making a magic user take the test without their wand, of course they will fail. I wish someone would have called Edward out for that bs! Aside from that it was another amazingly animated episode!! The quality of this anime is just top notch 👌 |

| @ryzxgum lol i can never memorize the whole chorus of that song i got bad memory |
| I really like the lighting in this show. It's honestly amazing how much a difference it makes in scenes where they're simply walking or talking. Also liked the opening song when the chorus joined in. |
| It's been very interesting to witness a season filled with very well animated shows, and I had my concerns about the consistency of the visual quality after last episode, but while this episode didn't pack as much of a punch in that regard, I'm glad the quality is still on the high side. Writing-wise, not expecting anything really standout here, but at the very least, I do hope it gets going and does something intriguing, because right now, it has been very "by-the-book" in terms of this type of genre. My expectations have been tempered, but I hope it can impress me at least a little bit. |
| That post credit scene is major creep vibes. Might just drop it before witnessing that train wreck. |
 |
| Which student with magic could have passed that test? They all would've gotten their asses kicked. If his familiar hadn't of gone to the lockers Ed would have killed Will. WTF kind of teacher steps on a student? I hope we see Ed fight again and get served badly. |
| where is logic? u can't even get close to him and after getting back ur sword, it's like u r unstoppable lol. WTF! |
 |
| I admit viper, you are the best magician no cap. But i fight u without my sword so its my turn now, lets prove that u are the best of the best magia, get ur ass over here, prove it without ur mighty wand, like we did before, if u can survive for 10 seconds without getting ur pretty face split in half by my full power swing, ill make it even after this, and no more complaint from me - this should be what the mc say to him after that fight. |
 |
| As a potterhead I can clarify that Edward sensei is Snaip. Bro would've slain him if the sword was provided from the get go. Nonetheless damn this fight's action scenes were marvelous ngl Goosebumps  |
| Elfie looking hot as usual |
| sup dumbo |
| Is this just a Harry Potter clone with a little Tolkien thrown in on the side? |
| Okay this is getting interesting. Hmm someone looking mighty sus looking like a girl dress as a boy though. |
 |
| Doesn't feel like this episode contributed much of anything except he got five credits in the end. |
 |
man colette is such a good girl, will kinda suck when Will ends up with elfi. animation still looks very good! (not topping ep 1 tho, only yoshihara can/will exceed himself) |
| Animation was not as good as in the first episode, but if the rest of the show is like in this episode, I'll be happy. Also, there was some good OST. |
| Actually, I'm going to have a difference in opinion and say that Professor Edward is portrayed well. I don't think he's necessarily being mean to Will specifically. He doesn't seem like a bad guy but rather driven by his standards of what it means to be a Magia Vander. I mean it's almost written by definition that one needs to be able to use magic since it contains the word magia. Silly example but it's like trying to become idk the greatest blacksmith but you have no actual ability to forge weapons. And then imagine your whole life goal is to receive the title. You strived for it and get knocked back down only to find that someone who can't use magic wants to become one. It's making light of one's ambitions and efforts. Edward seems like a well-written character for now. I think his actions are completely justified. AND it's clear he held back and made it somewhat fair by using only 2 spells although they were powerful as he had explained, it's better to perfect a few spells than to know a bunch that haven't been mastered. |
| Please give us a good story, the animation deserves it :/ |
