Koby Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 MAL Synopsis: The story is set in a world where humanity, driven off the land by the threat of magical armored insects, now live in aerial floating cities. Thus wizards—aerial combat mages who fight the insects with magical powers—came into being. Kanata Age is a young man who lives on the floating wizard academy city of "Misutogan." He was once celebrated as the "Black Master Swordsman," the elite ace of the S128 special team; however, he is now despised as the "traitor of the special team." One day, he is assigned as the instructor of E601, a team that has suffered ten consecutive defeats. E601 has three girls—Misora Whitale, Lecty Eisenach, and Rico Flamel—with one or two peculiar quirks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanzel Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) A few words of warning: this show is bad. Like really bad and not in a good way like World Break. Prepare for shit. Yet, I've still watched 6 episodes of it... Edited August 13, 2015 by deanzel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 This anime is trying to be bad and it shows. Crappy CG, crappy animation, lack of detail, high contrast, blur, crappy cliches, cookie-cutter characters, cookie-cutter plot. Is there anything original about this show? Is there any merit to this? I certainly didn't find it after episode one. This show was something I passed on watching this season because it didn't seem like it'd be something worth watching, however I picked it up and gave it a chance because FUNimation was doing a Broadcast Dub (aka Simuldub) and I figured why not? What is up with all the girls screaming 'pervert' and acting like the MC is trying to rape them? One girl drops her jelly toast on his crotch after running into him because she was rushing and not paying attention and them blames him for it and says he was molesting her breakfast and starts screaming. The next girl walks up to him while he's washing the jelly off his pants and starts screaming rape because he didn't have pants on... Could she not clearly see he was washing his pants before she walked up? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beave Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 This series is really not that great, but for some reason I am still watching the show. Maybe I want to see how the so called traitor/pervert gets along with the the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I don't even know why the MC is being called traitor. It's pretty much the only unknown and curiosity as to why is about the only reason I could see someone watching further; but I don't even care to watch 11 more episodes just to see if that is ever explained. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beave Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Koby they sort of explained it in either episode 1 or episode 2. If I remember correctly its because he refused to fight the bad bugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I ended up watching episode 2 after all even though I marked the show as dropped after episode one. lol. I don't know why I did, but anyhow they explained in episode 2 that basically he went out to fight with his team and he was the only one to return and then while being a bad ass apparently never does his team ranked matches. Anyhow episode 2 was a bit better than episode 1, but there's still no real reason to continue watching or anything that makes this show not just a waste of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Episode 3 actually had some decent team building and discovering their own weaknesses. I wonder why pinkie was so adamant about keeping her weapon even if it's not the right option for her abilities. We'll likely figure out in episode 4, but it's pretty clear that MC didn't know as much about her as he originally thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikanet128 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) i put this show on the "watch when i want to watch without paying attention" list Edited August 27, 2015 by Pikanet128 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 What the heck is the point in the 'naturals' losing their memories of a sky wizard ever existing upon their death? Seems pretty pointless, especially when they bring the family the wizards weapon... If they don't even remember they exist; it'd be pretty pointless to give them a weapon of someone they don't know.They spent an entire episode on the revelation that pink-hairs mother died and was forgotten and hence why she wants to stick to her sword so badly. Talk about a slow paced episode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koby Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Meh this weeks episode was basically all about getting Rico to finally decide to join the rest of the group for the rank battles. We did learn that Kanata apparently can't use much magic for some reason as shown with him being exhausted of magic after a single attack and yet he was once apparently some bad ass. I don't really understand how the public view of him became so twisted if he was some big hero before; surely they'd have understood if the issue was explained. Anyhow the pacing is pretty bad all things considered. We're still just in the learning/training stages and yet the season is just about half over already. I don't get why so many shows this season seem to be wasting more than 3/4's of their cour and just having all the story progression in the last few episodes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaticX Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 I watched one episode of this and Dropped it Instantly. Also, the Opening song was Annoying as Hell :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Kanata made quick work of that Chimera. He's definitely a force to be reckoned with. We still don't know what's up with his magical exhaustion though. He runs out almost immediately. Misora mentioned something about his ability not being magic but actually being something else entirely; I wonder if she was just blowing smoke or if there is something to that; maybe Kanata actually doesn't have any magical ability at all and has found a way around that? Something probably happened in his past that caused him to be this way; I doubt it was always as such. Seems the rank battles are finally starting next week! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
