Review of Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor

not bad... not consistently good though both magical school and relaxed teacher are really old tropes but still ones i enjoy. i watched it weekly and didnt really notice many overreaching inconsistencies. boring and shitty tropes were mixed with an ok executed actual story. it even had pretty cool moments and sometimes you didnt even know if glenn would succeed because he's the cool MC or fail because he's a lazy shitbag. apart from the school uniform the character designs are good. they are obviously similar but it doesnt feel 100% copied. i didnt like the directing and pace, theres a lot that couldve been done better onthat front.
sound was ok i guess

the characters started pretty tropey but they kinda grew into something better. i like that sisti wasnt written like the usual tsunderes her complaints were always valid and she was honest with her feelings. same goes for RE:L and even Glenn. Rumia was the only one that was stagnant but its rare to have the naive ones change.

i actually enjoyed it for that reason it didnt have massive dealbreakers for me (that school uniform was close tho) so here i am having completed it and recomanding it if you have nothing better to do.
