Review of Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor

This has all the ingredients to get me to fall in love with something: epic fantasy setting, a smart-ass main character with a heart of gold, a seedy organization, sexy girls, crude humor, and a little bit of a wink to the camera. Unfortunately, all these ingredients come together to create something just... fine. The main problem is the fact that this is just a 12-episode series with no word yet on when or IF a second season will ever come out. If the series does truly just end here, then it's a major disappointment. There are so many unanswered questions. So many things were justglossed over and forgotten about. So many intriguing characters introduced and then shoved off-screen for the majority of the show.

I really like this world enough to read the light novels, but I don't know if any of them have been translated to English. I'll have to do a bit of research on that front.
