Summary: Magic—A century has passed since this concept has been recognized as a formal technology instead of the product of the occult or folklore.

The season is spring and it is time for a brand new school year.
At the National Magic University First Affiliate High School, A.K.A Magic High School, students are divided into two distinct groups according to their academic performances. The "Bloom," who demonstrate the highest grades and are enrolled in the "First Course," and the "Weed," who have a poor academic record and are enrolled in the "Second Course."

This spring, a very peculiar brother and sister enroll as new students.

The brother is an under achiever with some deficiencies and enrolls as a "Weed," while his younger sister is an honor student, who enrolls as a "Bloom." The brother, with a somewhat philosophical expression, and the younger sister who holds feelings a little stronger than sibling love for him. Ever since these two have entered through the gates of this prestigious school, the calm campus was beginning to change.

What turned you off from it? I had read the LN before because the author had done something else I watched. Didn't realize this anime was based off that LN until I read this post.

generic character designs
bad direction
really really bad music
2-dimensional characterization
awful dialogue
poor pacing
clumsy worldbuilding

It's a show you're supposed to watch ironically.

I don't think you're supposed to actually expect it to be dramatic or interesting at all. This is going off of the source material.

lol

[Waraji]

I have to agree with Correction on this one, haven't not even watched the show.

If you're watching it "ironically", whatever the fuck that means, what the fuck is the point if the show isn't "interesting" even a little bit? I guess if you have time to kill?

It's so when you write a story in the future, you learn what not to do?

If you want to learn about good storytelling, anime is generally not a rich vein to tap.

[Tymon]

No, it's so you can talk shit about it on the internet

Spoiler: show

This is literally why I watch it
That and the fact that the MC can nuke civilizations with his mind

I actually liked the latest episode; not great, but still quite good. As long as Miyuki doesn't get to talk too much and they avoid spending the majority of the episode talking about how awesome Tatsuya is (which they did not quite manage to do this time around), the show is just fine.

Episode 5 had the lowest Oniisama count of the season, so far.

I like that, given the current trend it actually gives me a system to express the quality of an episode using numbers.

[Silenka]

Hahah that's fantastic.

Yes, I am watching this, exclusively for the wincest (because wincest is best) and to see how bad it truly is.
I mean... I kind of like the side characters, honestly. I didn't think they were that generic. I like those wild redhead types. Like the one in that one show a couple seasons ago, Love... research...something... something...

[Vaspinne]

Love Lab AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!

[Silenka]

Yes that one! I loved that show, just couldn't remember the name XD
