Shouldn’t there have been a bit more magic? Like any besides skating to school?

Impressions:

Here’s our other “joins magic school and does magic stuff while an endless parade of tits rain down” shows for the day and this was definitely the less impressive of the two. Also the more wallowing in typical light novel adaptation laziness of the two, featuring all our favorites; the supposedly-dropout male protagonist but not really, an endless stream of internal narration, and a seemingly magnetic pull on every vagina within a 500 meter radius. The ever-disturbing brother/sister romance dynamic also begins at an especially weird level as she seems unable to function without him. Unfortunately not in the “going to knife a bitch way” either. Maybe if she could go three sentences without apologizing, she wouldn’t come off as an abused wife, but then someone might get the impression that the world doesn’t revolve around our brick-like protagonist and we can’t have that! I guess at least he’s not a sorry sack, but really about 95% of what he did in this episode was narrate to the audience and looming over his sister from behind.

Very little to say otherwise. The only real nod toward the action was a brief sparring session which I guess was okay while it lasted, but it didn’t last long did so to weird synth, and had about as much to do with the rest of the episode as purple monkey dung has to do with this sentence. The rets of the episode was about as dynamic and interesting as purple monkey dung. A deluge of exposition about the world/school for the first half, and a parade of women introducing themselves to him for no real reason except to assure the audience that if they continue sullenly standing rock still, women may one day talk to them too.
