Review of Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor

Magic academy story which follows teacher and a pair of his pets. First intro ark (1-3ep) is great but after that it feels like chain of fillers based on generic japanese school events which you see a lot in anime. Minimum of character growth, absence of good worldbulding, lack of decent romance, couple of instances of fanservice, jokes are few and far between. All this combined and story feels quite boring. We are shown that MC becomes aware of danger from some secret magic society at the end of intro. This group becomes constant source of struggle to him and his class and yet he onlyreacts to momentary dangers and does nothing to actually resolve this situation. Even worse, this conflicts are inconsequential and telegraphed in a straightforward way. They are resolved in inconsequential manner thanks to selfless (often simply stupid) teacher sacrifice and some miracle at the last possible minute. Payoff from this struggles does not feel good as everything is returned into previous status quo in which they got after the intro.

It is definitely worth to watch first three episodes but after that anime becomes mediocre.
