Review of The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy
Seiken Gakuin is a fantasy, magic and isekai anime and follows the former demon king Leonis Death Magnus, this personality in the past, more precisely 1000 years ago was the Demon Lord, so it was to be expected that he would be incredibly strong, something quite present and highlighted, the protagonist as commander of the underworld creates a very powerful army, as well as ammunition to conquer the human race, however the opponents organized themselves in battle, resulting in a victory for humanity that overthrew the demonic empire and its leader, This is a fundamental occurrence for humans to become stronger, be autonomous and progressin society.
The calamity described above concerns the losers, the demonic empire, which was ruled by Leonis, which due to this fiasco in struggle, was forced to seal itself, that is, it hibernated for 1,000 years, intending to wake up after this time waiting to fulfill his role as chief, restore his ancient empire, which, unfortunately for him, was thrown into oblivion.
After the expected time, the main character of the plot finally awakens, a dispersive and shocking point is that he is "reborn" in the body of a 10-year-old boy, receiving the graces of the Goddess Roselia, who allowed this feat, on account of of their extensive connection in previous lives, even though this is a minute and detailed detail, the former Lord also notices the presence of a girl named Lisellia, who initially welcomes him, later becoming his maid and servant.
Leonis or Leo (his name as a human) begins a phase of understanding the world, as this would be a determining factor in dominating humanity in the future, he practices these actions in collusion with his 2 servants Shary (personal maid) and Blackas (a wolf )
For obvious reasons, Leonis is seen as a child prodigy and a natural talent from the Assault Garden, places where people with sacred swords, that is, powers granted through the acceptance of equipment to its bearer, allowing him to wield it and use it. of the respective strength of the foils. In a world that has changed a lot for Leonis since he sealed himself away, the ancient society he commanded is no longer remembered and powers without sacred swords have gradually been extinguished, until there are no traces left.
Taking into account his different power for his age, the boy is promoted directly to Platoon 18 of the 7th Assault Garden, a location made up of members such as: Regina, Sakuya and Elfiné, in addition to Lisellia, the main female character, because the girl transfigures becomes an indispensable piece of utility for Leonis, in his plan to supposedly "dominate" humanity, thanks to both parties being mutually connected in a contract of servant and controller.
As the platoon worked together defeating all threats Leonis gradually began to appreciate humans and not wish to destroy them, thinking it was a waste of knowledge and intellect to tear apart former adversaries as evolved as they are at the present time, but he also at a certain point passes liking the race not out of fear, but because of the sympathy and friendship he made with the people in the squadron, for example.
Seiken Gakuin has numerous defects in its generic and hastily designed plot, there are uninteresting and undeveloped characters, the fights are miserable, with the animation of the fights and powers being done inconsistently, containing choreographies that lack investment, quality, we can say that the fights are dirty, boring and monotonous, due to the animation being very bad. The character design is the only merit of the anime, covering acceptable traits, but the plot fails to tell a good story and involve the viewer in the plot, that is, leaving its audience excited about the direction of the plot, and not scattered, something peculiar Furthermore, the plot is terrible, one could even say that the story is not relevant, and it is possible to discard or ignore it without any problem, since the meanders follow a natural course, a meaningless direction, it is possible analyze this based on the protagonist's decision to help humans or also on the weak explanation, without clarifying or praising countless questions, in addition to the fact that the entire situation of the work is generic, without the slightest bit of originality. The opening and ending music is also not saved, it has no difference and does not have considerable virtues, it is just audible, nothing more or less, simply regular.
Having highlighted all the obstacles, it would be essential not to give a very low rating, which will be 4, because as seen in the last paragraphs, there is no reason to watch this anime, as there are so many better ones of the same genre, so in my opinion Seiken Gakuin no Makentsukai is nothing more than an unnecessary waste of time in your life.
