AntiMagic Academy : The 35th Test Platoon

Another "new student" came to the "magical school" for creative writing and on the very first day he met a "crazy tsundere," and that day, he tripped over and gave her nicely developed chest a good grope with his hand. This affected him so much that he had to start writing about it on a treadmill because he did not know what else to do. After all, even at this "magical school," he was simply the "worst of the worst." So poor Jeoffrey has to watch who knows how many versions on this said theme. They change the focus of the school, the motivations of the main male protagonist, and the other characters even though otherwise, it is simply a carbon copy of other different anime series. Putting three "magical schools," three "crazy tsundere," and three very similar protagonists in one anime season is insane. It feels like someone decided that after the summer's releases that brought something fresh to the world of ecchi (Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist, Prison School, and even Monster Musume, which did not impress me), they need to go back to their roots now, and so they are just heaping tropes on top of everything at every turn. The main male protagonist in this show is okay in places, and his determination is at least a little interesting. Plus, I quite like the girl behind the computer; it is a pity she does not get much screen time. On the other hand, I would like to have slapped the "tsundere" sometimes, and Usagi with the "big eyes" is there just for fan service, so no thanks. In the end, the new addition to the team, the witch Mari, saves the day a bit, and the Lolita girl is not completely pointless either. The animation was not very impressive, and the soundtrack was distracting at times, so there was nothing that great there either. After one episode, I was done with The Asterisk War and then returned to it. I endured a few episodes of Chivalry of a Failed Knight, and I am sure I am not going to watch that again, and even this show probably is not going to get more than a below-average rating from me. 4/10.
