Review of Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor

TL;DR Section at the end of the review. This review may or may not contain minor spoilers. Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records (RokuAka for short) is yet another of the required light novel adaptations of the season which showcases a story of MC-kun (in this case, Glenn) who pretends to be weak, but secretly has an immense talent or strength. He's forced into a situation with which he wants nothing to do with, and ends up meeting main love interest (in this case, Sistine). It's all said and done countless times while the setting and characters change from one place to another. RokuAka unfortunately suffersa lot from the painfully overdone attributes and story it was given. Glenn Radars starts out as a massive dick, and ends up becoming more and more likable... or so I wish. Through the story, Glenn's reasoning and beliefs get ever so more and more frustrating to listen to. Even his laughably normal backstory of being a former pro and losing his former love interest because of his failure to be OP is just boring as hell.

Beyond that, your main love interest Sistine is a boring tsun-girl who's far too dere after 4 episodes. Your best girl who's unfortunately not main love interest is vital to the story, but is actually just there to be a hostage. Your kickass girl is basically emotionless except when it comes to Glenn. *sigh*

TL;DR: RokuAka is just another stereotypical light novel adaptation (just because it's a LN adaptation doesn't make it automatically bad, by the way) with the same setting, different location and different characters. Boring as hell all the way through, you wouldn't be missing out on too much should you choose to not watch this show.
