Review of Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor

The story in the Anime (so far) is very promising, but it really doesn't go anywhere with the worldbuilding. Overall the plot (the real one, not the Anime tiddies) felt rushed and it ends pretty soon, without going too much into detail. There are Light novels and the show was probably made to sell them, but me being Anime only on this one is left with a "meh" feeling afterwards. I stil enjoyed watching the show. The Protagonist is a jerk with a heart of gold who rarely gets serious, but when he does it's nice to watch. The female lead is a Tsunderewith a dream or something, probably explained in the Light Novel. Also a lot of Background and more exploring of the world should be there, in the manual.

Without it the show works fine, it's funny if you don't want to think about it too much it's the show for you. But I wish they had taken their time and made like 24 episodes instead, it adapted 5 LN volumes and a lot in the later episodes was rushed.

I'm usually not a fan of Ecchi stuff either, but it's manageable.

The best parts about the show is the Magic system, and thus the fights. It's hard enough, so the viewer can get an idea how everything should and will work, but it's stil soft enough so the writers can play with it and surprise you. The perfect mix in my opinion. The fights are cliche, but stil enjoyable and cool. You don't need everything to be unpredictable for a story to work.

Another thing that I found entertaining are the chibi reviews at the end of each episode.
