Summary : We have a lot to talk about here because I feel gutted disappointed and disrespected about this anime and for many many reasons. Lately Ive been in that particular mood of eating every 12 episode anime in one day and I wish I never spent 2 days for this double season anime. Personally everything I found was bad really bad but few things can be saved. Gutted for such a boring story Story or by any means the EXECUTION of the story is almost pointless and broken many many times by stupid stuff. Dont get me wrong you cannot actually ask much from an anime from 2015 which is only about cool students fighting in a tournament but even here we have to talk a lot but here there were many other things which were damn interesting such as Julis royal family or the full backstory of Ayato which was completely insulted with no screen time. But lets put away all of this stuff for now. Im mad really mad because this one is officially one of the worst executions of the story Ive ever watched and said by someone who often likes mid tier anime and enjoys everything Im really disappointed. Everything felt so flat pointless and sometimes even rushed. Theres NO fucking point on giving to the viewer such an interesting background of everything and then delivering such a shame What happened to the cool Ayatos background story? Julius? Who is Kirin? Give to Saya some more personality And what about Claudia? The fights The duels at least were a little interesting for sure not in season 1 because I almost fell asleep many times but Season 2 was much better in almost everything and I have to say really big props for the first and second fights of S2 because I really loved them they were actually good and almost epic. Other than that everything is just the same : slow pacing of the story becomes boring and there are many useless plot twists. This for me is the worst part of all. The characters EVERY SINGLE OF THEM is POINTLESS and FLAT. Theres no personality nothing special about them if not the average stereotype : Ayato was a boring MC with no personality nothing interesting and overpowered without telling us the reason at least yet but instead becomes GOD in the duels. I mean are you joking right? He has such a cool and interesting background : his being so strong her sister his arrive at the school but you dont give my any answers? Why? Julis was the only character I wanted to save as she had some interesting stuff and actual character development. Im feeling gutted that she didnt give us some proper explanations such as being one of the best fighters in the school but in the end she was good at least. Kirin was boring boring and boring. Just the average loli able to kill you physically and in the soul both because of the fighting abilities and because she is just a lolicon material. Other than that theres nothing completely empty. Saya was just the peak of the boring even with the voice. Flat no personality not interesting at all and as usual overpowered. I truly cannot think any more than that. Claudia was how can I say the most wasted character of all maybe even more than Ayato because of two main things : she couldve been one of the best antagonist I couldve ever seen or one of the best supporters but instead they loaded me with informations just in the last 2 minutes of the last episode WHY WOULD YOU EVEN DO THAT. And now my usual space for the side characters which I will resume with just one person : the maid MY GOD I HATE HER SO MUCH UNDER ANY ASPECT. If we forget about her horrible voice she is just one of the most stupid characters in existence at this point easily by that. Jokes aside every other side character gets forgotten at some point with no return funny. one of the biggest debates in history is this anime against Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry is this any better than Rakudai? In my opinion no and not even close. Rakudai delivers a better story with better characters and some of the best fights Ive ever seen all of that with one of my all time favorite romance story and more than anything else I love the MC of Rakudai. The definition of climbing from the bottom to the top. Conclusions : Did I enjoy this anime? HELL NO I would NEVER recommend this to anyone on this planet not even to my biggest enemy or ex gf this is the ultimate torture.
