| Great premise! I like magic theme! Absolutely will watch it! I plan to read the manga, but watch the adaptation first. |
 |
| Typical JC staff series exclusively under, "No can beat the blandness" challenge. |
 |
| This feels like a harry potter rip off, can't say excited but I'll check it out |
| So Harry Potter the anime? Lol I'm calling somewhere between 6.5 and 7.30 score lol... not that score matters to me, just saying it'll likely start off interesting then become mid since so many of these new fantasy anime are pretty riskless But the teacher looks like simp material, so that's good |

I like magic and movies about him so I will ABSOLUTELY watch this series! |

| This one has a decent author and scriptwriter so I am pretty positive. And it does not look like low-key production as the previous authors adaptation did. |
 |
| source material is pretty good, but the cast over all seems very subpar. Especially the Director and Series composition guy... Music director is pretty much a rookie it seems, and no well known seiyuu. JC Staff as a studio has a fairly bad track record when it comes to adapt LNs properly. Dengeki Bunko as a publisher also has a fairly bad track record on the adaptation quality in any of what they've asked an adaptation of. Also I can't believe that they took again the same series composition guy that , for an adaption of a work from the SAME AUTHOR, thought it was a good idea to put the end of volume 1 after the end of volume 3 and put a random chapter of volume 7 between vol 1 and vol 2. Yikes. |

It looks as light-hearted as earlier Harry Potter books but in reality, it is much darker (a ton of gore) than the author’s previous book, Tenkyou No Alderamin. It is more like 50% Harry Potter, 25% Made In Abyss, 25% Berserk. There are a ton of gore such as human experimentation or students consumed by their own spells. Professors don’t really care if their students get killed. Definitely seinen demographics. I have only read the first 7 volumes. I have written a review here: https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=462241&onetime=b1c50eae772647e60bfbe15183f8a2b86e7656c8321e6d6553193534b89cae47 |

I also like such themes as you mentioned, so I will watch it for sure. |

| heard this light novel was kinda seinen(dark) and was pretty good, seems feasible since it's the Alderamin on the Sky author. staff seems meh but not expecting that much since im going in blind anyways. |

| The only good thing this staff has going for itself is the OST, dammit. A project like this announced so long ago, took this long to get such a BLAND staff, sucks indeed... |
