| (Warning, meandering stream of consciousness post) Everyone has a lot of praise for this show, and I have to ask, am I watching a different show than everyone else? I genuinely feel like I am missing something - and I don’t mean that in a disrespectful tone, I’m just trying to reconcile my feeling with the general positive sentiment this is receiving. (I have not read the LN.) I think the bed has been supremely shit in terms of introducing newcomers to this setting by basically having every character very comfortable with the setting, and the one character who could reasonably be the stand in for the viewer who is unfamiliar with the setting, Nanao, seems to instead have an almost neurodivergent amount of being ok with nothing around her making sense. She’s not even technically a mage before she comes to Kimberly right? So basically every single part of this world should be novel for her. It would be a good opportunity for us, the viewer, to experience it alongside her. Instead, she’s basically not fazed by anything. It’s definitely going to get some eye rolls, but think about Harry Potter book/movie 1. Harry has no goddamn clue what magic is. He has to learn from 0 what magic and the wizarding world is, which is a convenient time for the viewer to learn alongside him. We learn about the world when he first comes to Hogwarts and through the classes and experiences he has there. Spellblades has had starts and flashes of that, but I feel like I’m jumping into something at like book 2 or 3 here. Oliver says that they’re not strong enough to fight the Garuda, but why? What’s to say there’s not a kill spell that even a baby could use? Does the magic in this world take a person’s innate energy, and they don’t have enough yet, or are properly trained to harness it? Are they not studied enough in the magic available to them in a fight? Does this creature have powerful magical resistances? I’m sure there’s a very reasonable in-universe explanation, but at this point as a viewer I don’t have that information, so as an uninformed moron I don’t know why they couldn’t just point a wand and kill the creature. I’ve kind of rambled here, but these are just some of my gripes with the show. I just feel like I’m missing something, like there’s vital info to the plot or setting that I’m not aware of as a viewer. I only take the time to write this much just because I feel like there IS something good under the surface here, and everyone else seems to be having a good time. Maybe I’m just dumb. |
Kuroimi said: But he didn't ask "why do you like this". He specifically asked about "anime of the season" statement. And if you look at Marinate's original post, there is nothing there that provides that explanation. He wrote what he liked about THIS episode and just slapped anime of the season at the end without any context. It is a legitimate question to ask when someone makes that claim. And the answer he got was "just gonna mute you". Do you think that his question warranted that answer? I don't.-Saphiran- said: Disagree. Man basically wrote "I like it therefor it is anime of the season" and then complained about the score of the show. And where is mockery? If something like "What do you see in this show that made you Say "Anime Of the season"? is consider mockery then... someone's ego is far too fragile. He did say "Surely you jest", and proceed to basically say "the only good thing is the opening, why do you even like this?", for me it's a form (albeit small) of mockery No real argument that people of this site oh so like to ask for, especially when Marinate already said why he liked it He could've argue by saying why he didn't think the anime was that good, or compare with other shows this season, but he didn't Or what, you can't even say one show is good because no one else like it now? Yes he didn't say "Anime of the Season for me" but only "Anime of the Season", but almost everyone does that, and the other way around too ("this show is trash" but no "for me", you just have to look this thread) If you're gonna argue that from the beginning, starting with "Surely you jest" user has been disrespectful, I will disagree with you. To me, if anyone was disrespectful it was Marinate with that "mute" reply. He could've argue why he thinks that this is anime of the season, but he didn't. He just shut him up. That to me is pompousness. |

After that the main plot of this series would be clear. The first volume supposedly also meanders a bit until it gets to the point at the end so it can be a surprise. They refused to tell me more because it'd ruin the surprise for me.(Warning, meandering stream of consciousness post) Everyone has a lot of praise for this show, and I have to ask, am I watching a different show than everyone else?

About the Garuda, I saw some source reader comments and they said its a Divine-level beast and it was quite nerfed but still excessively strong. If it was at full power, no one could've beaten it. The reason why people were struggling to defeat it was because they lack mana output, skill, spell knowledge and battle experience. Almost every student in the arena was first and second years. If it were, let's say fourth or fifth years, it wouldn't be a fight. Alvin Godfrey (the president) would just easily defeat without breaking a sweat. All of these are information I saw on different threads so I dunno how much of it is correct. I guess an issue is that the show is probably cutting a lot of stuff the LN had. All good points. I guess I just end up feeling like this adaption is just all fluff for the LN fans.. which is fine! Just having never read the LN I feel like I’m out of step with the plot. |

You do not need go through eyes of a greenhorn to understand anything about Spellblades setting, the story itself explains world-building through Oliver or other characters. You just not bothering to pay attention to it. For example What are Sword Arts? Spellblades? What is Kimberly academy? What are relationship between demi-humans and mages? etc These are questions the story implicit asks and then explains, establishes their importance. To be frank your problem asking questions about to things in show is not asking itself because they are unnecessary. Why isn't Oliver and other first years not strong enough to fight the Garuda? Can not use your eyes and see? Does the bird power level number next to its name to explain the strength difference that visual story telling aren't? Why are you even asking if he has something specific like an easy to use instant kill spell? Why does needing know about magic energy reactions matter to understand a fight? Especially when purely Japanese shounen trope that even HP doesn't use? In fact why do you even need know how many spells Oliver knows and has to gauge strength of enemy he's fighting instead taking his word for it? How does this make a fight exciting outside your preferential bias that every character be a detailed wikipedia before doing anything? Basically what does any of this matter? Good world-building explains what needs to explain to serve its narrative, not itself. I don't need a super specific detailed analysis of why something is happening as long the characters and storytelling is explaining them at all. Oliver notes the Garuda too strong for them, the show proceeds to show this by having everyone get wrecked by it regardless of what they do. Even Nanao struggles against it and Oliver get seriously injured. He doesn't use the instant kill spell you asking because doesn't exist, that in itself an explanation. Your over-complicating things that are easily told through characters dialogue and actions they take or don't take. You don't need to much more than that to discuss and understand what is happening. That also goes for lead up to greater plot all these events forming as we follow these likable characters in their journey to become proper mages for their own personal reasons and how their relationships at the academy influences those goals. That were enjoyment is found. There is no need to force things just have all the answers right way. That said yes but source does explain more like any adaptation does but you don't need to read it gasp what happening if simply just pay attention to the dialogues and monologues. |

Usually, I just use twitter followers and yt views to see their popularity, and this one is on the level of dozens forgettable isekai coming out each season. |
EdgyLord666 said: The first vol several awards including this Light IS Amazing. Yes there are plenty obvious differences between Spellblades other generic LN magic academy you have seen, from number of important characters to overall handling of the story (even gendered cast, no OP MC instantly beating everyone, no harem, just love triangle, solid focus on race social politics, transforming academy, virtually no fanservice, harsh teaching that risks the students lives etc) and that only basics in the first book. It also surprising twists awesome fights and interesting discussions about specific magic aspects a little down the line.

No this does not make most original written work in mankind about magic academy and doesn't need to be great. For that matter almost none popular shows airing right or ranking high on MAL score super original either. They notable because of execution of their stories overtime and Spellblades is the same. |

| Id say this was a pretty good episode if it weren't for the fact that Nanao and Oliver just stood there too long while people were being attacked and only acted once that asshat Richard was about to be attacked which seemed a little weird. I understand some hesitancy from the surprise but only acting as soon as it was him nothing before? Not even an attempt? Very nicely animated though. |

traed said: None of the people getting attacked early on where within they reach. Andrews actually had to run towards Nanao for her incept the Garuda. Plus Garuda was focusing the 2nd years (students in green uniform) who were incharge of running the venue and had better ability to defend themselves while Oliver and Nanao assessing the situation instead of blindly running to it. I'm actually glad she show some restraint here, that's good little bit of growth compared to how often she tends to jump in to things without thinking first. She up against that monster can one-shot upperclassmen one grade above her afterall.Id say this was a pretty good episode if it weren't for the fact that Nanao and Oliver just stood there too long while people were being attacked and only acted once that asshat Richard was about to be attacked which seemed a little weird.

| I don't think its a good idea to compare the light novel sales of a series that has already got an anime adaptation vs one that has not experienced the boost from the anime adaptation. The anime sales boost is pretty significant. You can come back and compare the sales numbers after the anime finished airing. I don't think we can claim whether the series is popular or not overseas without proper sales numbers. |

| At first I was going to grumble at the amount of story leftover in chapter 2 that they were skipping over as it was some world building stuff and answering a mystery from episode 1, but the second half of this episode absolutely delivered so all is forgiven. I get it, too, after three episodes with some minor heart pounding action but was mostly talking sessions, upping the stakes and ramping the violence is the more logical choice. So I’ve not yet read this part of book one so I’m in unknown territory. Regardless of that, the fight of Nanao, Oliver, and Richard Andrews vs that garuda was absolutely spectacular. Kudos to J. C. Staff, that was intense, well paced, well voice acted, and the music was spot on, not to mention violent. That thing was terrifying to watch in action and the way it served as an extension to Katie Aalto’s civic rights for magical creatures attitude is certainly a great contrast. Nanao able to go all out, Oliver trying to use his wits was great to see in the fight but watching Mr. Andrews’ part was real nice. A great way to humble the character after how rude of a person he was til this point. |

| I support the Monsters killing those human bastards thinking anything that isn't human should be slaves and toys. Too bad the supposedly good guys had to protect the shitty human bastards and help kill the Monster that was standing up for the other monsters. (Garuda literally wrote and the MC read "how does it feel to be the prey") . Human Bastard: "how can you still fight?" "aren't you scared" Really?... this dude that abuse Monsters are now afraid of Monsters fighting back? LUL.... Human Bastards. (this is similar to the words real life bastards used when the African Slavery is rising up against their masters) . Yea... at this point, it looks like they're not going to do shit with helping the monsters, helping Humans comes first as always. Which is ironic, as they're showing the "good guys" getting a disgusted expression when they see the Monsters being hurt, but the "good guys" also have no issue with killing Monsters like it's a natural thing to do. Literally the only one that is truly trying to help the monsters is Katie... LOL (except she's being targeted by Human Bastards since she can't really fight back). |

| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Honestly, I don't like this show. I don't get why the main characters act so close when they barely know each other, why is everyone except the main characters are so one-dimensional, but most importantly, I hate how "too nice" Oliver is. We know that he can has outburst when protecting Katie from verbal abuse but why he isn't getting angry to Andrews when he does stupid thing and being a coward? I'll probably know why in future episode but really, such simple but important characteristic like that should be explained from early on. Especially considering the show is trying to make him important by having a hidden assistant. Dropped. |
 |
| The animation in this episode really impressed me. The Garuda slaughtering the random fodder was entertaining. It feels like the casualty rate should be higher than 20% Hopefully after this episode Andrews will be a little more likeable as a character. |
 |
| First episode that really got me excited, loved the camerawork in the Garuda fight, Nanao is seriously strong. Andrews being the helping hand that turned the tide was great, too.  |
| Well I gotta say the fight sequence was actually rly well done. Some really cool camera work there for some sweet shots. Still don't like any of the main cast. Our dumbass bully Andrew had a surprisingly vulnerable moment there so he might be shooting at a bit as an actual decent character. Bunch of the dumbass background trash got cleaned up by the monster tho it is debatable how many actually died. |
| Wow that was such a great episode.. epic, best one of the season by far. |
| "All things, be they divine or mortal, find their ultimate end. It is not a harsh punishment, but a merciful pardon."  |
| I think I'm done with this show :/ I already didn't like it from episode one, but I wanted to give it a shot at least but yeah no I think I'm done. This episode seriously dragged on at least to me, and man the characters just suck |
