Review of Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor
Magic academy with girls wearing Ecchi uniforms, definitely evil secret organization doing evil things while evil laughing, MC at first seems like a joke but has some dark past and strong ability. A lot of anime these days fall under these descriptions, but Bastard instructors, despite can be described as so, was refreshing to watch. Only the first 9 episodes, tho. This anime cant be split into 4 parts, 3 episodes each. the first 2 sets were really good, 3 was pretty good, 4 was just a disaster. what was the problem? the story of the last 3 episodes were alright(expect for the intentions and goalsof the final villain, it was pathetic.), but the way it was handled in production made it look stupid, especially the fighting scenes, the major fighting scene in EP11 was not only confusing, it was also...boring. the second major fight scene in ep12, the end fight, some parts were good, but as it goes on, it gets worse and worse, till the very final part, it was beyond saving.
without spoilers, simply put that "It will be disappointing".
Those are the down sides of this anime, but there are many positive aspects of this anime making it worth watching. Likeable characters and shocking plot twists(sometimes :P), funny and memorable moments, generally well handled fight scenes, a MC who always has a hold of him self, and some very good OSTs.
PS: If you are sick of people getting punched through buildings and can still get up and talk normally, this anime might make you feel a refreshing breeze.
