Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de

During a Literature Club meeting, the four club members—along with their faculty adviser's niece—suddenly find themselves with supernatural powers. Now capable of fabricating black flames, resident chuunibyou Jurai Andou is the most ecstatic about their new abilities; unfortunately, his own is only for show and unable to accomplish anything of substance. Moreover, he is completely outclassed by those around him: fellow club member Tomoyo Kanzaki manipulates time, Jurai's childhood friend Hatoko Kushikawa wields control over the five elements, club president Sayumi Takanashi can repair both inanimate objects and living things, and their adviser's niece Chifuyu Himeki is able to create objects out of thin air.

However, while the mystery of why they received these powers looms overhead, very little has changed for the Literature Club. The everyday lives of these five superpowered students continue on, albeit now tinged with the supernatural.

I found this title buried in my watch-list and dove right in without looking it up. And binged it in one go.
As others have already pointed out: if you're looking for epic clashes between super heroes, look elsewhere. This is a standard school life harem and the whole magic thing exists mainly as reason for some parts of the plot to happen.
It is overall light-hearted, cute and funny. However, it does play the "more serious" card here and there with characters dealing with their anxieties or breakdowns as well as in the very scarce moments addressing the supernatural background plot.

While the heroines are quite stereotypical, ... I wouldn't call them bland or shallow. They all have their moments. Two of them clearly get more developpement than the others but it doesn't feel like a big problem when looking back.
Now for protag-kun, forget the usual shy loser finding himself in all kinds of involuntary groping situations, he's actually kind of awesome in his own way and doesn't seem to give much thought to the horny stuff. In fact, you could probably remove the romantic feelings and still end up with a nice story about friendships. Tomoyo's secrets would still work the same. The impressive "WAKANAI" speech would still hit home. Kudos to her jp VA for such a powerful delivery. (The dubbed version of this scene falls short to be honest. She sounds like a teen shouting at her parents because she got grounded.)

On the production side, I don't have any critics to formulate: the animation is fine, the musics and FX work well and help set the mood.

When it comes to the supernatural part of the show, it is actually kind of frustrating that we don't get to see more of it but there is a reason for it in this story so it's... acceptable. But I'd say this first season could be a very cute introduction to a second part focusing on the whole other side. Too bad it's not the case.

Mixed Feelings

This anime for me was kinda all over the place. I don think it did well, mashing different types of genres like supernatural, slice of life, drama, comedy, and romance into one anime. If anything it should have just focused on one and stuck with it. This anime like many animes had to have something unique to it which is very generic because many animes that has something unique in it focuses something entirely different. The story for this anime is all over the place as I said above and the pacing is a bit too fast, but I was used to it. One episode ... is all drama, and the next episode they bring a whole new plot about some war with a number of factions into the series only to brush off with a beach episode. I don't mind having drama with the supernatural but the anime was just glossing over the supernatural aspects of the anime which just made the show become a harem drama type anime. I did enjoy the drama and comedy of this anime to a degree but the lack of organization of plot just made this show kind of generic for me. The characters all have generic personalities but all were still likable. In episode 6, Hatoko, became my favorite character and was the introduction to the drama of the anime. That scene of Hatoko arguing with the main character that I watched on YouTube was the main reason I watched this anime. Even though it felt like a mess, I still enjoyed this anime because of the drama and comedy it had and the last episode was very interesting and fun to watch.

A literature club centered around a nerdy manga lover discovering they have powers. As the MC reveals his useless power, so do others leading to them testing out the powers and their limits in private and what they can do with them.

At the same time, n underside exists we discover where fairies give these powers out, just to make humans fight each other with the real risk of death, for their entertainment. Though fairies are divided our literature club and the student president, seem to be initially of the radar, before slowly as they discover and develop their powers others come ... looking for their part in the battle. Defeat the person and the power could be yours.

In between is the usual harem-style soap opera as one by one the different girls show feelings for the guy, as other people fight it out in the race for powers. The fact they juggle a few things at once in a disjointed order to fill time, with no real character development and the poor storyline just made me bored, and I ended up watching it as I tidy the room. It felt lazy, overdone for the harem element on what could of fared well even in an oversaturated anime area.
