Edward feels insecure because of his failure to become a Magia Vander, so he channeled that emtion into unadultered cynicism and have Will bear the brunt of it.

Story is most generic, but only animation which is saving this anime... Like literally story is quite predictable ( kind of similar to kaju no. 8... But I felt less connected to character as I was with kaiju no. 8 except MC will)

I have one more problem.. Like MC said he loves elfie then Why add another girl...and make MC flirt with a girl he is not even in love with (Loire) , they could have added a male character or something else I don't want to see a love triangle.. In this show.

I am dropping the moment I saw... A stupid love triangle in it.

Anyways it's a great show i like it and action choreography is actually pretty good.

Animation better then tower of god season 2 🥲

Gave props to the show for killing off Thrift Store Crabbe and Goyle last episode but they actually survived being splattered against the rocks. Guess I should've expected that with magic but kind of lame. Makes the monster Will beat seem less impressive.

This went almost exactly how you'd expect, the only real surprise was the headmistress playing Snape like a fiddle knowing he'd lose. Sly old lady. I also thought Snape would dock Will all his points for using a sword. Less petty than I thought he'd be.

Colette, chick in the tower, now his roommate. Will's working on quite the harem.

Still painfully generic with the plot but wonderful music and action. Nothing wrong with that.

Great episode. I honestly preferred it over the first episode, and I am also glad to see the animation quality still going strong. One thing I think people are really overlooking is the excellent voice acting. Will's voice switching from scared, to confident during the test scene was really well done.

Kohei Amasaki is voicing four lead roles during the Summer season (Will Serfort in Wistoria, Masachika Kuze in Roshidere, Yuuta Asamura in Gimai Seikatsu, and Rozé in Code Geass: Dakkan no Rozé), but these four characters are very different from each other in terms of personality and voice, which takes serious vocal talent to pull off.

I also thought Will's roommate was a girl until I read the comments here, but they seem like they will be a fun/funny character. Apparently, their voice actor is purposely hidden, which I find very interesting.

Also, I like that Will's primary motivation for becoming a Magia Vander is his love of Elfaria, instead of a friendship/rivalry, nor to prove himself to others like a lot of shounen protagonists would usually do.

To be expected, the follow up episode to the bombastic first episode doesn't quite reach the same highs, but they definitely kept the great action going. Not to mention the stellar animation. There was a reflection motif going on throughout the episode, some shots gave us a glimpse of what other characters see, others seemed to reflect the hopes/dreams of Will.

I'd be willing to bet that the Headmistress knows a lot more about Will than she lets on. She was willing to let him test with a sword when he first entered the academy and seems to still want him to prove himself to doubters like Professor Snape.

Once again, great action, cinematography, direction, etc. Yes, the story is basic, but I've been impressed with how it's been told. We also get Will's confession that he's in love with Elfaria, and that's his reason for fighting. I'm actually relieved it wasn't for "a promise we made to each other". Him being in love with her is a far more compelling reason.

Will could've subdued Professor Edward in a matter of moments, if he was given with his sword from the get go.
Chair Women was enjoying this all along.
VICTORY 🔥

SHE'S SO CUTE 😻
@Ricky16 Let's not forget that the professor was also limiting himself to two spells one for offense and defense (low level at that) but yeah not a fair fight.

Well author said that himself on social media (even if Edward would have used his full strength he would've been defeated), ooh well i guess you & author are friends that's why you Know about Our MC's full strength and capabilities.

The way Will expresses his true reason for climbing the tower in front of Edward is so cool. I love it!

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.
well, to me it feels like he is a she.

The roommate is sus... It would have be over easily if Will had his sword at the start. They always have to play dirty, Edwards gets his wand but Will couldn't have his sword wtf. Is Elfaria locked in the tower or something? It's weird that she just left him. I'm not sure if I missed Kiki getting hurt or if she is connected to Will somehow

Great pacing, fun fight, interesting developments with the hateful characters. The worldbuilding has some holes still. Maybe they'll get explained later, but other than that, this is so far my favorite "person without magic joining the magic academy/organization/thing" show I've seen. I mean, Mashle was comedy satire, so it's a weird comparison since this show is serious, but I'm enjoying this a lot more than I enjoyed the first two episodes of Black Clover, and I ended up liking that one fine. Good start.

They must've heard all the complaints last week about how Will was accepted into magic school without knowing magic, because it was literally the first thing they addressed this episode lmao
@Bandanaa Yes, they waited a couple of days too actually, just to check the online reactions, then finished this episode in about 3 days.

This will infuriate Prof Edward. I think Will will gain the ability to wield magic midway. The how is unknown, but I predict it will be at a high level just like his use of the sword.

For now, let's enjoy him being the underdog.

No wonder bro is no 1 hater, Edward has failed becoming Magia Vander.

This is not Power of Friendship, but the Power of Love!!

Well for people waiting for story you have wait for now only 3 characters has been introduced. More will come as you saw in Opening,

This is just a set-up something big Is coming up.
Until then just enjoy the visual. And The buildup to that.

Still would have been better if they ended at 29
Ch20 looks Okay tho....

I have a feeling they'll get to chapter 29
That's the same fight if I'm correct

@Neko_Arashi the background was different in opening and that fight .
But I would love it if they really do Ch29

Would be a fantastic ending to this season and 2yr wait is enough for us to get another one from this point onwards.

Chapter 29 to early 30s would be a good ending to the series and since the manga is a monthly serialization

Starting the episode with Sion, honestly, I don't like him, don't get your frustrations out on the easy target that literally saved your life. Btw, did the other guy die? Only 1 appeared in this scene, and he had 2 "friends".

Anyways, it seems professor Edwards wants to test Will's skills, and it seems like Will surprised him, because even if professor Edwards is literally a teacher, Will was able to almost slice him, which probably explained to professor Edwards why the headmaster decided to let Will stay at the academy, at the end of the day, he is a really useful asset for the school, eventhough he is not a wizard. Will should thank his little cat fellow for that, it saved his dream (and also his friend!)
We also get to know how students can join Magia Vander, and they actually have 2 ways to get there: either create a new type of magic, or to have really high credits at the school. Since the former is much harder to achieve, most people tend to get there by the credits at school. But I wonder if this will be important in the future, in the way Will might create a new type of magic with his sword?

At the end of the episode we got a snippet of Will's mentioned roomate, that seems to care much about him, even doing his dinner for him. I wonder if something will happen to his roomate.

We got to see the opening, and I must say, it's actually really good!It does justice for a shounen opening!
But what surprised me the most was actually the ending! I haven't heard a song from True ever since her opening for Violet Evergarden, which is one of my favorite openings ever, and I must say she didn't disappoint with this ending. It's not a "Sincerely", sure, but for an ending, it's really good, and it's much more upbeat than what I expected, and honestly, I really like it!
From animation, to opening and ending, to characters and plot, this anime has been a big surprise, and I'm really glad I noticed this anime when I was scrolling the MAL list. Now I really wanted to watch the 3rd episode, but we'll have to wait for next week! It has been quite sometime since I have watched an anime while it was airing, but I find it more interesting to watch the anime this way actually!
