Good funny magic anime series
Irishchatter31 May 2019
Honestly Glenn reminds ya of a bad lecturer or teacher that you had while at school as well as college. I do very much relate to his students like you do get completely fed up to hell when someone doesn't do their job. However I honestly wouldn't mind the legend Josh Grelle to teach my classes cause really like any fan, I could listen to the dude all day lol!

I thoroughly enjoyed this anime series like it went from being light-hearted in the beginning but then became a bit darker in the end(not bothering with a spoiler this time don't worry lol). If you need a comedy to make you laugh, Akashic Records of B****** Magical Instructor is your call bros!

Unpretentious Fun
Cafelar10 April 2020
Students with eccentric personalities and tiny clothes, a teacher apparently unprepared with a plot that gets complicated throughout the anime. A good climax construction that makes you become attached to the characters.

Worth watching, funny situations and a special weight at the end.

Shameless but amusing..
dameon_green24 April 2020
Loads of fan service and trope usage but done in an overall enjoyable and humorous way, if you look at it as intentional.

Still don't get the Jr. High / Teacher obsession however, as that's the apparent age of the students.

Excitement went down with each episode
Chandru2206J1 March 2024
I believe that this anime had a lot of potential in terms of storyline, but it did not live up to my expectations. Some of the character arcs were not well-developed, which left much to be desired.

The various storylines, such as the protagonist's past, the mysterious Sky Island, and the reason why Rumia was abandoned, were not very interesting. Moreover, the story jumped to different places which disrupted the flow of the story arc.

The animation quality was good, but the anime failed to deliver the action sequences that the genre typically demands.

The characters seemed to be fighting for the sake of their egos rather than fighting a common enemy, which was disappointing.

Additionally, there was no proper villain arc, which left the story feeling incomplete.

Very good screen writing.
derekrallysubaru9 June 2020
Love the dynamic, character development and depth. The comedy in the show knows exactly what it is lol and is sprinkled nicely to not feel overused. Fantastic magical writing as well where you kind of feel like you're watching a video game play out. It still stands as my fav use of magic so far in an anime. It's a must watch!!

Amazing visuals and Story
anirudhktg8 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Glenn Radars is an amazing character on the outside but he is really depressed inside because he lost his a Former girlfriend because he couldn't save her. Now it is up to Sistine and others to get him out of depression. Honestly I like Rumia more than other characters as she is kind and cool and awesome. Re L Rayford is funny as well as strong. Albert is great. Jatice Lowfan is great villain. Music is mind-blowing and Visually pleasing as well.

Just another monotonous fantasy anime
kulkarnichaitanya-8397312 January 2022
There is nothing new to this anime. Its just like all the other fantasy-mystery anime. The story is quite predictable at most times. Also it feels kind of rushed, the animators could have taken their time and written a better flowing screenplay. It's quite a short anime which could be completed in one or two days. So get ready to be bored to the core.

Good story
akarunkumar-486132 August 2021
MC is very depressed after knowing the real world and losing his gf. Then he joins school as a teacher. He is just an average magician but his skill and talent are good. Rumia is great and of sistine blah.

What kind of a prev would design a school uniform like that
rcrredeption13 March 2023
Anime id good but honestly the protagonist shines better later in the light novels where he shows his full power.

Apparently we don't have a english translation for the light novel.

I liked the romance accept if they characters.

Main character is pretty smart but he is shown as a weakling in the beginning i thought he would surprise us by showing his full power but anime failed to do so in a sense.

He has his own way fighting.

But I herd the light novels version of the characters is said to be one of the strongest protagonist on par with rimaru.

I liked the design of female lead she have a moe feel. Her tusendrea behaviour is fun to watch.

Can't get past the gross behavior.
MushroomMountaineer24 September 2023
I was excited to watch this anime because of the high reviews everywhere, but I was very disappointed. I know it's a common theme in anime to have fan service, and many shows can live past that.

But for this show I cannot get past that they're constantly pushing minors and an adult professor to get together. I stopped watching after the beach episode because the MC professor said he "planned the trip so all the boys could see the girls in bikinis". It shocked me that this predatory behavior was not mentioned in any of the reviews.

The characters are also very unlikeable in general. The MC is frustrating to watch, and I get tired of the "trying to be cool" joke that they do constantly.

The two main girls are constantly annoying and make bad and rash decisions all. The. Time. The plot is otherwise very predictable as they constantly bring out the spell or gimmick ,that will give them the "gotcha" moment at the end, at the start of the episode. They don't even really try to hide it.

There are a million other fantasy-type shows that do not go full into the fan service and pedophilia, I suggest not wasting your time with this anime and it's terrible writing.

Goat Anime or Series Whatever
pankajsingh-1614016 January 2024
This anime is so wonderful and awesome that it always remain on my mind. This anime is full of action, mystery, an absolute story, friendship, group work, teachers and students bond, magic. This is so entertaining that you will not get bored of it still it need more seasons. One Season is not enough to close this chapter. If this anime has infinite season I will still pay for this to watch. This is my first ever anime and I got addicted to it, this anime contains a lot of potential no matter what the rating say 6,7,8,9 I don't care this anime is 10 on 10. My friend who watched Naruto and Ju Jutsu kaisen said this was over his expectations that such anime is not so famous.

Only one downside
jennahobbs15 July 2022
The only, and I mean ONLY, reason I'd even consider taking off a star is for the sheer fact that there are only 12 episodes (hopefully that's simply an "as of now" thing).

There are so many fantasy animes where the main character is op, not in this case...this one tries to be as lazy as physically possible. Obviously, he isn't as much of a bastard as the title lets on, but he's still pretty bad at times. It's really quite hilarious and fun to watch.
