Chinese synopsis from Bangumi (opens in a new window)
Will, a washout student at a magical academy who is unable to use magic, is aiming to join the top tier of mages, the Magia Vander, to fulfill a promise to his childhood friend, Elfaria. Wielding a sword instead of a wand, his abilities are slowly recognized within the academy. During the all-student praxis dungeon training he undertakes with Lihanna and the other top students of his year, they are ambushed by a mysterious mage. Though they barely manage to survive the attack together, they go on to face the exit exam. Can Will reach the girl waiting for him in the tower?

What people sayPublic comments from other sites
AI sentiment analysisAn AI model (qwen3:8b) rates each public comment as very positive / positive / mixed / negative / very negative (scored 9.5 / 8 / 6 / 4 / 2), averages them weighted by confidence, site, length, “helpful” votes and date, then shrinks the result toward a neutral 6 (so a few comments can't inflate it).Calibrated to the site-score scale it is 6.82, and it counts toward the overall score by the number of comments (at most 35%).Only the latest ~40 comments per site are read (plus ~50 posts from each forum's episode threads, which weigh less): a sample, not everything. Excerpts are at most 140 characters and belong to their authors; comments that may contain spoilers are not shown. Comments from Chinese sites appear in an AI translation, with the original one click away. Sentiment labels can be wrong. Updated Oct 7, 2026, 06:36.See the score breakdownSentiment score6.1/10

The first season was great, but this here just feels like slightly above-average seasonal slop, with all the cliches & tropes you'd expect

Brought tears to my eyes. He's so relatable. This gotta be one of the GOAT Anime out there. And, I've never even heard of it before.
Negative2 found this helpful
Season 1 felt grounded with solid world building and a logical power system. Season 2 breaks that foundation at ep 4. A disappointment.

Score breakdownThe three parts are weighted in “virtual votes”: the more site votes and analyzed comments, the more weight that part gets. Fan sentiment is capped at 35%, and each AniRanking rating counts as one vote. Full rules

Site scoresThe site consensus is 7.95 (136,553 votes, weighted by site reliability × log of votes); shrunk toward the season baseline 6.96 by vote count, it becomes 7.94. Sites score differently (Bangumi runs low, bilibili high), so each is first calibrated to one scale using titles rated on both it and AniList, then combined; sites with fewer than 100 votes are ignored.
