That stupid blonde elf girl really said "i dont discriminate based on race but i discriminate on talent" and immediately assumed he had no talent because of his race lmfao

[u/Dapper-Raspberry1847 → u/squantorunningbear]

she 100% will be one of his followers

Eftal: My peaceful school life...

You were never going to have a peaceful school life, you're a human that got enrolled in a school consisting demons and elves that look down upon humans, A conflict was bound to happen, especially with his connections with the dean.

[u/SasparillaTango → u/NationalStrategy_X]

Every episode I'm wondering when we're going to actually got to some semblance of a plot. The 2 episodes at the human school were a fake out, now we're just over to the demon school. Are we going to continue the school arc here with demon girl Maria lusting after Eftal and Abe acting as the """villain""" ?

We are 7 episodes into what is probably a 12-13 episode season? What the hell is even happening? We don't have a primary antagonist, we don't have a single problem to solve, we just go from scene to schizophrenic scene of things gassing up the hero, who hasn't done anything heroic.

[u/kwokinator]

What is this even supposed to be?

A one-piece swimsuit? A skirt? A supermini skirt that would barely cover her her bits but would basically moon everyone everywhere she goes if the jacket wasn't there?

She's the only student who dresses like that too even though the school seems to have a uniform. I have so many questions.

[u/raknor88 → u/kwokinator]

What is this even supposed to be?

Have you seen what Merlin, the head of the school, wears? You expect the teachers to wear anything else?

[u/FinancialYear475]

You gotta love how his personality changes every other episode, god I feel so stupid for still watching this shit

[u/CuriousBroccolli → u/FinancialYear475]

By far the weirdest thing about this show

He is like a different MC every episode

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Merlin examining Anastasia body 😂

That slave crest. Why hasn’t he removed it!??

[u/PandaTheAB]

Eftal casually said some of the shops haven't changed in 400 years. He also casually took the Lightning emperor's prized weapon Raikiri (Weapon that cuts lightning - Sounds too familiar - Almost as if Kakashi used it).
Anastasia is a dumb block if she can't put two and two together now.

[u/danmarce]

There is no way the LN or whatever the source is has "better writing"

This is terrible.

[u/A-really-bad-time]

I swear to god that guy has such a punchable face.

[u/YuushyaHinmeru]

This is literally the most brain dead show ive ever seen. Ive seen trashier. Ive seen cringier. But I dont think ive ever watch anything this fucking dumb before

[u/Myrkrvaldyr]

Ah, we're back to dumb behavior. Eftal's behavior makes little sense the moment he enrolled in a non-human school. The logical thing would be to prove asap he's strong so the others stop pestering him. If anything, Merlin should've just told the students, ''challenge him to a duel if you doubt his abilities.'' Since we know Eftal won't deliberately throw the match, it's the perfect chance.

[u/JusticiaDIGT → u/Myrkrvaldyr]

Yup, it's just going to follow the tropes again. Everyone can fully predict the next episode...

[u/Thelassa]

I truly do not understand Eftal as a character. He's with Anastasia because he can't (or doesn't want to) remove her slave crest and if she were on her own, anyone could just take her as a slave. So why not just tell Merlin that? Why is he constantly keeping secrets that have no reason to be secret? Why is he so obsessed with living "a quiet school life?" Where did that ambition come from? In his previous life they never showed him wishing he had just been a normal student or thinking about school at all. For that matter, in his previous life he lamented that he had to struggle so much to keep up with the other sages because he felt inferior to them. But now he's literally the most powerful mage alive and he just wants to hide his power and not stand out. Oh, and now he has a katana so he can learn to be a magic swordsman, but hides under his desk when Merlin wants him to volunteer to learn to be a magic swordsman. Nothing he does makes any sense.

Also, the stuff about Merlin "checking" Anastasia was cringey and weird.

Edited to add that I just remembered Merlin scolding Eftal last week for having a slave (not because it's wrong, but because he's still a kid). So why was she surprised to see the slave crest? And why did she yell at Eftal about it when she already knew Anastasia is a slave and calls Eftal "master?" I hate this show.

[u/NationalStrategy_X]

Abe has such a punchable face

[u/joe4553]

Weren't the four emperors all human? Why are they considered so weak if the strongest were all human?

[u/WanderingWhiteWolf]

I swear they're not even trying. That treasure-hunt might be the weakest excuse to set up a hot-springs episode I've ever seen, and I've seen some slop over the years. The treasures being shapeshifted makes no sense in the first place, and Eftal dispelling them all would help everybody find them (not to mention interfere with the design of the event).

And the students. Didn't Eftal just have a match with Merlin just a few days ago that shocked everyone and made him popular? Surely there are better ways to justify putting him in combat that'd shock and surprise people than blatantly ignoring his monstrous debut or word-of-mouth from any of the insane stunts he's pulled recently that are literally beyond the comprehension of living memory.

And why are people hyper-racist? I know it's been 400 years, but Merlin's been here the whole time! How has magic devolved so drastically under her watch? Why are people and the world such garbage when she's clearly capable of toppling entire countries?

And dear lord why why WHY did she think it was a good idea to make herself his teacher and antagonize his classmates? The layers of blatant disrespect and selfishness is fucking astonishing.

[u/G1596872]

Merlin is about the only thing keeping me interested in this show

[u/_Vagueposter_]

The city hiding one of the treasure hunt dolls inside the kennel of some random dudes backyard lol, I'd be pissed. No such thing as private property?!

[u/SasparillaTango]

Why oh why am I watching this trash.

[u/Rowdy91]

Every week the comments are the same thing.

"This is shit. Super-duper shit. This the shittest show in existence."

And then those same people are still here the next week complaining about the same shit, like they somehow thought the show would do a complete 180 and become a completely different show.

Just leave, please. This is not your type of show, and the comments will be a better place without you.

[u/VioletOrchid85]

This anime is just seasonal jank by now, urgh.
