The good reviews are for the original itself, the season 3 anime sucked.
13 episodes of the anime is undoubtedly not enough to tell the story of the original novel in 3 chapters totaling 4 volumes of novels, and a lot of story content had to be cut for that. The flaws of this over-censored plot are especially evident in episodes 5-8, where the specifics of the match and what happened are not shown at all in a few PowerPoint-like still frames, and it's impossible to see what the match was about. I'm not happy that season 3 skipped over the competition in such an inattentive
...
manner after the first season's detailed and exciting presentation of the competition and the contestants' performances in the nine-school competition.
Regarding the character Shippou, Takuma, he is simply “a teenager who makes mistakes and then corrects them”. The anime cuts out his first few appearances, so there's less background on his personality and experiences. The original title of this volume, “double seven,” is a clever pun. At first you think it refers to Saegusa's twin, but then you realize it refers to Saegusa and Shippou. episodes 1-4 of double seven also suffered from excessive cuts, but the major plot points remain. the magic battles between Shippou, Takuma, and Saegusa, Izumi and Saegusa, Kasumi are very good, especially Shippou, Takuma, and Izumi. Magic Battle was great.
The shortcomings of the last 9-13 episodes are still apparent, with excessive cuts and only the core plot retained, but the battle graphics in this part of the series aren't exactly stellar.
