Review of Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor

Akashic Records was one of the most underrated animes of the season. I think a lot of people got turned off by the almost rape scene and ended up not giving the series a chance. Also, with being only 12 episodes the overall plot was a little lacking. However, those were really the only flaws of the series and unfortunately the rape scene happens very early one. Aside from that, this anime has great themes in it. It is shown throughout the series, the importance of friends, family, love, and standing up for what you believe in. Do not give up on your dreams. Thatis what made this anime so special. The situations that the characters had with each other tested the limits of friendship and trust. At the end of the day, it wasn't about the magic or school, it was about how interactions between characters changed them. I do not want to give anything away so you will have to watch it to find out what I mean exactly and it is worth watching.
