Review of Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor

I was struggling to give this series either a 5 or a 7. On one hand the inner ecchi lover in me wanted to love this show, but my practical side said it was average. What we are faced with is a standard harem/ecchi that tries to deliver a relevant plot but fails. In the story we have the OP myseryious backstory protagonist, Glenn, thrust among young highschool girls. Enter the tsundere Sistine and her friend Rumia, who are both cookie cutter characters with little to no backstory in skimpy outfits. Through this dumpster fire they call a story the three of them are caughtup in some horribly written chase the evil dark cult. I dont know if it was written from the point of view that you had read the LN because it felt like there were gaps in information we needed to know. The villains are laughable attempts at being some secret society researching to improve mankind by any means.
The series looked okay, being recent but they used a lot of static images for knockouts, but the magic casting was cool. It looked and sounded unremarkable from most other shows.
As I said earlier the three leads were weak. Not in strength but in character. All of them were static characters that never experienced any growth emotionally and just stayed the same. I refuse to let people tell me that when a tsundere realizes her emotions it counts as growth, I refuse them. Glenn is supposedly a strong magician from the army but you never see what made him so special that everything he does leads people to be awed. Sistine has literally no backstory she may as well be a side character with extra lines. Rumia had a chance at being acceptable, but was hindered by what is medically called a "Blonde Bimbo". She spent most of her important scenes being either captured or confused about what was going on. Literally the only positives about the characters was the outfits. Ecchi no more needed.
But I must say no matter how trash the story, bland the characters, or lackluster the style ecchis can get it done. If you are a harem fan (like me) or just interested in mindless content that you dont want to be invested in this may be for you.
