![]() On the other hand, I found the conflicts/threats to be quite decent. I feel that the characterization is the weakest link in this show. he is, seemingly able to blitz through many of the challenges he encounters, all while having a pair of fangirls in tow. There is little reason why the MC is should be as OP as However, these efforts seem half-hearted and do not provide a believable justification for the characters. The series picks up slightly in the following episodes, with some effort to justify the MC's actions and some background on the supporting cast. The first episode has to be the weakest in the series, falling into many cliches and being downright cringe worthy at times. Summary: Although the pacing and conflict is sufficient to capture attention, the main protagonist seems to have it too easy in this show, and the supporting cast are reduced to cheering bystanders. What kinda bullshit school lets their students dress like this? What the fuck? Might as well just force them to dress in nothing but their panties cause you're gonna use them for fanservice either way. Why do they show their lower body for all the world to see? And those skirts. Just wanna rant about the uniforms the girls wear. Maybe if you don't mind all the predictability and cliches, you could probably have fun with this mess, but if you perhaps want some that doesn't dig itself so deep into the norm that it becomes unbearable, avoid this show. It had its fun moments but they were overshadowed by everything else Akashic did wrong. (It's not)Īkashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor is not an enjoyable show. This anime had a decent amount of material they could explore, but it decided to just screw it and hope what they do present is acceptable. ![]() They're just thrown in during different arcs to keep shit interesting. We don't find out much about The Researchers of Divine Wisdom, or the Alzano Empire Royal Family, or the Imperial Court Mage Corps. ![]() They mention it once or twice and just kinda forget about it, and that's how most of the plot points go. What is this record you ask? I don't know. The title also mentions an "Akashic Records" in it's first half. It just becomes another layer added onto the show as it tries to make up for its run of the mill story. You already know Glenn will defeat them after overcoming a small obstacle, (Power of Friendship everybody!) and the anime makes no effort to try and compensate for that. At first, it was pretty amusing watching Glenn use his limited skills to defeat others, but soon it just went downhill. (Although I can't deny that I did chuckle at parts of the show) At most, they're all just props for the generic comedy skits the show puts on. You have an entire class of students, a few teachers, and some more friends of Glenn's, but barely any of them get a hint of exploration. Looking past other characters, a sword-wielding kuudere who's also a damsel in distress and an old buddy of Glenn's who helps provide us with exposition and battle support, everyone else is pretty empty. Although we see a couple of times where they help their teacher defeat the bad guy, it just comes down as plot convenience instead of "strong female characters" that can hold their own. All they're there for is to be damsels in distress so Glenn can save the day. One is a tsundere and the other has a heart of gold. The other two mains, Sistine Fibel and Rumia Tingel. His act is so forced due to the fact that he's actually a decent person, he just chooses to hide behind his trope shield so the premise of the anime doesn't become irrelevant. Our main character, Glenn, is a bastard, or at least he tries to be. Sure the try and explore some of the main characters and add some suspense inducing drama, but they just fail at keeping us invested or entertained most of the time. Obvious villain appears, (like come on could you be any more conspicuous?) pull out some cliches, Glenn and co proclaim their friendship and love as teacher and students, defeat villain. The story jumps from arc to arc, which all follow the same boring predictable formula. expect a kind of School Comedy with maybe some Action thrown in since they are learning Magic, but Akashic Records decides to give us much more. A new teacher joins Alzano Imperial Magic Academy, and he's a bastard. It's an unspoken rule that we can't like everyone we meet, but the individuals that grind your gears to a state of disrepair are the unforgivable worst of the worst.Īkashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor is pretty much about the second half of the title. May they be a classmate, work colleague or a friend of a friend, a certain someone will just appear out of nowhere and make you instantly despise them. We've all had at least one bastard in our life.
