Review of Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor

Lately I've noticed I've been watching the majority of shows on 2x speed. This has become pretty standard as most shows are slow enough paced, that I can still keep up w the dialogue aside from slowing down certain parts. The only 2 shows that I've watched on normal speed recently are this and Trinity Seven. Regardless of what I consciously want to say about these shows, the fact that I am taking 2x the amount of time to enjoy them speaks for itself. The reasons for this are: To enjoy the art, enjoy the music, and the interactions and dialogue between characters. This show has all 3. I findthe art and music to be outstanding in this, and also the characters interactions are hilarious at times.

The voice acting is great, I also find the characters to be more nuanced than in most harem/school shows like this. Especially Sistine and the MC.

Also I like shows that have an MC who is a capable, witty, badass who gets shit handled.

I noticed I've given this, Trinity Seven, Shokugeki no Souma, and The Irregular at Magic High School all higher scores than their counterparts, and this is one of the big reasons why.

It's a lot more enjoyable for me than an MC who stumbles and hesitates his way around into becoming some admired hero. It's also far more realistic than that.

The final thing about this is, although this has not been revealed in more detail. I find the mysterious premise dealing with the Akashic Records to be interesting. I was already interested in the subject and although it hasnt been discussed much it's still fascinating.

I can't give this a 10 out of 10 bc I don't think it's a masterpiece as much as Shokugeki no Souma, but definitely looking forward to a Season 2
