Anime: Tsue to Tsurugi no Wistoria

Wistoria had a great start in a world full of magic and the MC struggles to keep up with his peers, but keeps moving forward to fulfill a promise. I really thought this was going to be an epic fantasy but does have pacing issues... not to mention many annoying characters that communicate by yelling. The last few episodes were solid. This season felt like a prelude to something grand, so hopefully the next season is more focused on the main storyline.

While not a bad series by any means, it becomes a little stale after a while. It feels like there was too much side content rather than direct storyline.

Character growth is so minimal with so many things that are fully unexplained. The characters do have some interesting aspects to them, as well as some funny moments, but it simply was not enough to carry the series.

It's not bad, it's not great. Hopefully season 2 has a better approach.

Worth watching as long as you don't expect too much.

If you like DanMachi, you'll like this as well. It's from the same creator. It starts off slowly, just as DanMachi did, but something happens in the last two eps that change everything.

Surprisingly engaging, this series stands out with its intense action sequences and thrilling sword fights. While its premise shares similarities with Harry Potter, the dynamic animation sets it apart. Looking forward to Season 2 to resolve lingering questions.

A must-watch for fans of magic, swords, and action-packed anime.

Sword and WOW.

Went into this with VERY LOW expectations, and I was taken aback! This is actually good.

The plot is okay, the supporting characters were fine, but the MC is RIDICULOUS! Shout-out to the antagonists as well. The antagonists were more than just one-dimensional, and dare I say, they had a bit of relatability.

The ACTION and ANIMATION were clearly ON POINT.

It ends on a high-note as well, where the name of the anime starts to make sense! Fret not, for it has a CONFIRMED SEASON 2.

Very much for BL fans. BL isn't for me, but if you're a BL enjoyer, everything about this show is made for you. It's weak in every other aspect (except animation quality which is pretty decent for TV), but the BL is strong. Enjoy! (Please note that, except for the MC's roommate, the BL is merely highly suggestive rather than over-wrought, so if you prefer in-your-face homoerotic BL, you might not like this one).

Looking forward to s2 😍

An extremely mid show wrapped in a beautiful package.
Sound and music are great, animation is mostly top tier and even though the story is too predictable it's still OK - but the show's main issue is the MC. He's the type that everybody are bullying and he'll usually accept being bullied (since he doesn't have magic powers), and he fights an "all in" fight with his school's most fearsome professor, he WINS, and he still considers himself as a weakling and still accepts being bullied.
THAT kind of MC.
If you can bear with this, and you're a fan of the fantasy/action genre, I suppose it's an OK watch for you, just don't expect too much.
6.5/10, I'm not sure I could tolerate (the already announced) another season of this, I'll have to wait and see.

It's a really niche anime. The only good thing about it is main character. Everything and everybody else is pretty much rubbish. I really do enjoy when anime has Anglican or Victorian setting, but authors don't seem to understand how to do it properly on more occasions than they do. Regrettably for me this anime deserves more criticism than praise, so I will abstain from delving further. What I can certainly say - don't expect much from it.
