Well, i must say, i watched this Anime, because it was available on Amazon Prime for limited time only, i was nicely surprised, despite just the average score. I was entertained for the last 2 days watching it.
The Story is light, yet for Anime with just 12 episodes it was interesting and complete, no plot holes or any uncertainties. I would say it was done just right, really. And the Ecchi Harem moments were pretty entertaining, it had also it serious moments, cause of the supernatural, scifi and military theme. This formula for a successful Anime works quite often.
Art is good, the typical Anime design, about the sound i have nothing to comment, i usually skipped the OP after first episode, it does not have any remarkable OSTs
Since the Anime is on the lighter side, not to deep. The char…

TLDR at the beginning bcuz too much to read for those who don't care:
The rating is 3 because it just didn't make sense as a standalone show. Without any extra context whatsoever, this anime is a writing mess with fanservice that's so shoehorned in, even MY degenerate self felt weird having to look at some of it (except 4 ribbon wrapped blonde girl and hot big tidded "almost segz" scenes. Those are quality scenes if you remove the context of the show ;D). The pacing and writing is simply awful, and unless this entire show gets entirely remade by a far better studio, I won't recommend ANYONE watch this anime, it's a waste of time unless you're in it for the POTENTIAL story and fanservice. (some action scenes are OK if ur for that as well. but I'd say watch any other action anime ever instea…

*****SPOILERS....MAYBE****
ok let me start by saying that i liked this anime and wont put up this "Oh look at me i am a proffesional fucking reviewer and ill give a good anime 1/10 cause im retarded" persona!.
Let let's start by saying that this anime was really enjoyable and i liked it alot. There are some problems with it like them introducing the MC sister...which just comes out of nowhere and just fucks shit up...i would prefer if they build her up and introduce her in like EP 5..because u really dont get enough time to get attached to her.She should be the main objective from EP 1..but she comes out of nowhere and is the object from EP 7.
I found the picture transitions very good and the music..including the outro song really good! THeve done a very good job on the music n sound in…

Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai is one of those anime that you don’t expect much from as it looks like your typical magical school anime on the covers, and well, it is just that. It manages to stay as an ecchi-harem, fantasy-school anime without being anything else. The anime has colorful characters, but only by their hair. The premise is interesting, only if the story wasn’t crammed into a mess. Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai is a great example, a great example of how poor direction can ruin an anime’s potential of being great.
~{Story}~
The story is about The 35th Test Platoon, one of the squads at an anti-witch academy named Antimagic Academy, are nicknamed as the "Small Fry Platoon" due to their lack of co-operation abilities. The story itself isn’t that bad at first as it seems…

It's becoming a common occurrence for various series that I know absolutely nothing about to blindside me and overtake a 4-5 hour portion of my life, leaving nothing but a few gasps and several wide-eyed stares in their respective wakes. In just this year alone, it's happened with shows like Ranpo Kitan, Death Parade, SaeKano, and so many others. Why do so many of the shows that I haven't looked into wind up being better than the ones I count down the days for? Am I just overhyping things too much? Anyway, Anti-Magic Academy: The 35th Test Platoon is just another example of one of these series to glide in under my radar and become something much bigger than anticipated. However, not everyone seems to see it that way.
Being another light novel adaptation, the Anti-Magic Academy anime alrea…

This show is great example of great ideas ruined by bad execution.
Characters: The characters are alright though sometimes they have the most clichéd dialogue imaginable. They do become a bit flat once they get forced into the harem plot archetypes. The the villains are terrible. We are never really told what they want except that they are evil and have evil plans. They are so over-the-top evil that they become unbelievable and almost comical.
Animation and Sound. Sound is fine. The animation is really good minus one really glaring part. Whenever a powerful character (including the main character) transforms the subsequent animation is just awful. Its clunky, laggy, and somehow manages to be worse than the standard animation.
Story: This show has a really interesting concept in an inte…

It is released in October 2015 anime, consisting of 12 episodes and whose highlight genres are action, harem and fantasy.
At first glance it may seem the typical harem, but you can not judge without knowing a little more about it.
HISTORY: The anime tells the story of Takeru, a student of inquisitor (Witch Hunter) found in a firing antimagic at his academy, but not any squad, is the leading 35th and last squad, known as the worst of all platoons ...
the members of this squad have great individual skills but they are not good at working in teams, but everything will change soon with the arrival of a new member to the squad: Ouka, a girl who had already questioning but demoted to the squad for different reasons.

Though it initially looks like a military-based magic-fighting show, Taimadou is actually more like your typical action-based harem in a school. It takes many of the good ideas from other shows and, in my opinion, follows many of the themes in Trinity Seven.
Our protagonist, Takeru, is the rather level-headed leader of squad 35, the worst-performing team at the anti-magic academy, which is a school that fights against magic using guns and Shana-like contractors. However, soon, their squad is joined by Ouka, an uptight tsundere who happened to be a star inquisitor but demoted due to her revengeful nature. How will she bond with Takeru and his other companions?
Though there are certainly flaws with this show, especially in the latter episodes, the overall execution is well done and the cha…

If you're expecting the average swordsman harem, this isn't quite it, and yet it, exactly, is. Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai is a satire of the swordsman harem genre that has become the rage in recent seasons. It is enjoyable to watch and follow as it develops, while it points out the glaring, annoying holes that many dislike in the genre.
The story is divided into arcs, which is commonplace for this genre. Each arc tends to be devoted to focusing on a girl of the cast while showing how badass the main character is. The common pitfall is that, while they do get focus during their arcs, the girls in other anime are instantly thrown to the side when the next arc comes around. Anti-Magic Academy does not follow the common failures.
The great thing about 35th is that all the characters…

"Everyone in my crew was killed except me and Shizuka-chan," a cheerful girl says, in a voice she might use to describe her trip to the store to buy milk and eggs.
Remember in the second half of Sword Art Online when the story suddenly dealt with rape and it was really weird and badly handled? This anime reminds me of that. It's really cliche and shallow, bearing striking resemblance to other mediocre anime such as Gakusen Toshi Asterisk or Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry, but it has a lot of dark moments showing (relatively) graphic violence and, eventually, attempted rape.
And it just comes off badly. The show's too shallow and immature to handle those aspects well. And given how goofy it is the rest of the time it's just all over the place.
But the really sad thing is how that's nearly the…

Ok! This is my first time writting a review so please go easy on me and also english is not my mother tongue so please forgive some of the grammar mistake i'll make in the review below.
So let go started! i'll keep this as short as possible because i don't think many of you guys have the time to read an entire essay about an anime.
-First impression: Uppon watching the first episode of the anime i think it will be just another formulatic anime with you can see all over the place now a days but boy i was wrong. For the first time in the history we don't have a try hard main or a dense as hell main in combine with the mix of action, comedy and a little bit of harem make it a really enjoyable serie.

This anime is all about small team of trainees at "police academy" like setting, except they're dealing with no ordinary criminal, but magic-user one. Here's my personal opinion about this show:
Story: 7/10
There is some issues about the plot, the main problem is there is no big plot or main story here. The events just start here and there without any story line that tied them together. the main villain exists just to create chaos or do some crazy-crime to be dealt by the anti-magic kids. No explanation whatsoever. I don't read the novel, so I might missed something that this show failed to explain.
The only reason I give decent score is, the character's arc. If you don't know or don't watch this anime yet, I'll just inform you that the story here consists of 2-3 episodes arcs. each of th…

Overall I found the anime to be a pretty good watch with a very intriguing story. I will admit that The character development was a tad bit lacking because they were trying to fit so much information into 12 episodes which caused them to give us a lack of details when it came to the characters, and there were some cliché moments that sprinkled throughout the 12 episodes, but those little cliché moments gave the anime a very light atmosphere and kept it enjoyable. I also think that they set the anime up for the possibility of a second season where they will probably go into a little more details about the characters, which is why they probably gave us so little details in this season,. Its definitely worth the watch I personally loved it, because the story is different and cool the art was…

It seems that all the anime companies and their mothers decided to go for the “harem fantasy magic school” theme for the Fall season of 2015. It's actually ridiculous how similar a lot of the shows have been and I can only hope future seasons won't be like this. Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai is another branch of the fantasy magic shows, and while it uses the harem genre to drag in viewers, it's clear it wants to be more like A Certain Magical Index where the fantasy world and characters make up a large chunk of interest. Unlike Index however, Taimadou completely fails in developing the world, characters, and interactions and what it ends up being is a haphazard mess of gibberish.
The anime follows a squad of misfits in a witch-hunting school. The world is terrorized by magic that usua…

The genre of this anime, as well as the fact that it came out in the same season as two other similar animes (Rakudai and Asterisk), means that this anime will inevitably be compared to the other two shows. It seems to me that this show was generally less well-received than the other two shows, and after watching it, deservedly so.
Story: 5/10 and Characters 6/10
To be succinct, this show's story was nothing special, but was thoroughly made worse by its execution. Not to blame the studio, of course, seeing as they only had 12 episodes to work with, much like Rakudai. If it were adapted into 2 cours of 12 episodes each much like Asterisk, this show would have been much better. At least, the content would be delivered way better.
From the outset, its premise is nothing special, which, c…

Art: 7/10
There isn't anything particulary new for the art. It is not bad, just okay. So animations are - there isn't spectacular show to see but it's decent. Characters could've been designed a little better for me but i didn't dislike it all.
Sounds: 6/10
Firstly, Opening and Ending songs are pretty good and somehow cachy. Too badly that there isn't too much "background" music in the actual show. Sound effects and voice acting are just okay for me - just like with art.
Character: 6/10
Basically we have here standard set of characters, typical for romance/ecchi/harem anime. Every female "hero" 35 is in love with our MC. We have booby-one, perv-one, shy-one, open-one and they all are like: He's mine! Don't try to take him away from me! So it's nothing special but it's kinda funny afte…

My Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai review. ALLELUIA!!!! ( Did I just use the name of the Lord's god in vain?)
Ratings:
Story: Mediocre 5.
Art: Decent 4.
Sound: Fair 6.
Character: Poor 3.
Enjoyment: Fair 6.
Overall: Poor 3. Feliz Navidad to all of you, so what we have is an anime whose genre was the usual harem, school, magic, fantasy, action, romance, ecchi, supernatural and military. Which basically were all ill-fitted to this anime or manga in general, so no more BS, as I explained my ratings for each of this anime's ratings:
Story (up)
Despite of all the genre mention from above, what was more profound were the action, ecchi, and supernatural, frankly the title of the anime in a romanize version was " AntiMagic Academy 35th Test Platoon", but the story focuses on a group of los…

Ah Silver Link. You...you really didn't do a good job this season, now did you...
Story: Kusanagi Takeru is a student at AntiMagic Academy. In a world where magic and witches run rampant, only one platoon is fit for the job. No, not the top ones, this little one called Platoon 35 with only 5 people. One guy and four girls. That's...that's a harem right there.
The story, as mentioned before, follows the 35th or "Small Fry Platoon", comprising of what many in the Antimagic academy call a platoon of failures. Following a more arcic setup on account of the way that the light novels are arranged, the show organizes itself to follow the story of the LN's (with quite some variation might I add) from start to end. As a fantasy series, Antimagic requires quite a bit of explanation in order to pr…

I did enjoy this anime even though I hate harems the characters were all cliché af but I still liked them. It is pretty simplistic but that's not a bad thing. I think it was pretty well paced for a typical harem series. I had no problems with the ending I mean I expected everything I got from an anime like this. I didn't expect anything impactful just something to enjoy with cliché characters and plot. None of the backgrounds in this anime were breathtaking beautiful just normal. :/ I wish the antagonist got more development in all honesty there was nothing deep about him he was just there to be there. 😂 If you go into this anime not expecting anything else but a typical harem anime you'll like it. But it's definitely not worth re watching.

It’s easy to describe what Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai really is. Just like the reputation of the “Small Fry Platoon”, being described as a group of failures at a school known as the 35th Test Platoon of Antimagic Academy, this show is also a failure of itself. Before getting to the what, how, and why, there’s a few things new viewers should understand about the show.
Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai (also known as Anti-Magic Academy 35th Test Platoon) is a light novel adaptation that has over 10 volumes and currently publishing. Common logic dictates that such an adaptation could only be tolerable if adapted into at least a 2-cour show. What do we get instead? A chunk of mess and missed potentials that gets buried by Silver Link and the director’s incompetence. Don’t get me wrong…
