It's incredible how this anime managed to lose itself so much in just 12 episodes. Magic anime isn't really my cup of tea, but I found Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records promising, at least in the beginning.
The start is quite entertaining and introduces you to a world of magic with characters that captivate you for a brief period. However, strange things start happening in this anime, and it loses its value.
At a certain point, the story became somewhat confusing; it felt like it wasn't going anywhere. When new characters were introduced, this feeling of incomprehension became even stronger.
In short, the anime seemed like it was going to provide me with some enjoyable entertainment on a lazy afternoon, but it ended up leaving me with the feeling of "please just end already.…

Truly, for me, this is such an underrated anime. It has comedy, action, suspense, romance, and so much more. Based in a classroom setting with a brilliant, unique take on magic use, this show is a must watch. Currently only 1 season so far but there is enough source material to make another couple yet.
The story takes you on a bit of a rollercoaster, with the character development hitting fast.
The art is truly outstanding, the way magic is portrayed artistically is what first drew me to this anime in the first place.
Glenn Radars, the main character, is fantastic throughout by blending the perfect amount of seriousness and comedic slapstick necessary for great enjoyment.
I believe this show warrants a 9/10.

Akashic Records Of Bastard Magic Instructor is a fantastic series. The main character and the white cat girl is hilarious. The comedy in this is almost on par with that main protagonist in Steins;Gate. Was my kind of humor and it's consistent throughout the whole series which I love.
It's quite short and I wish they would make more because although it doesn't bring anything new to the table the comedy is quite unique which other animes are lacking especially with the consistency part.
Definitely an amazing anime, really good story and awesome laughs. Would recommend even as one not overly obsessed with anime. :)

I have seen videos about this anime so i decided to give it a try and i wasn't dissapointed.I realy enjoyed interesting plot twisted with good humor and characters were so well performed that i couldn't decide which of them i liked the most.The biggest disadventage was forced plot in late episodes and unfinished plot line.
Overall
+Good and interesting plot line
+Lots of humor
+Characters have really interesting stories and are well performed
+There are a lot of moments where we see our characters from diffrent angles
-Plot is forced in last episodes
-Some characters are just background and they have no inpact to the story
God I hope season 2 will come out soon

A surprisingly entertaining anime, never expected that after reading the long title of "Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records"! It starts with a bang, delivering perfect episodes that balances out fresh Comedy with serious Action very well in a Magic Academy setting. Sadly, it can't end on the same note as new arcs with new characters are introduced late in the game that aren't given much exposition. Still they do a good job with explaining the magic of this world logically, making it sound both interesting and realistic. This is further supported by the shows focus on the students to NOT just become a bookworm, rather participate willingly to field work as well. However, I would have liked more expl…

Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records is your typical cliché harem anime, with bits of comedy, action, magic, and of course high-school girls. Now, bashing this anime for that would be very illogical, since the target audience is not the people that look for a good storyline, it's not the people that look for a lot of character development, and it's not the people that want to decode an anime in every single aspect. Therefore judging it on these factors does not make sense, so I will judge it based on it's intended audience, and based on the overall delivery.
This anime is for people that want to enjoy a bit of cliché, it is for the people that don't mind the slightly erotic schoolgirl uniforms and it is for the people that enjoy a bit of magical action thrown into the mix. Now d…

Story:
Nothing short of a generic harem with an obvious OTP. That doesn't mean it was bad. It's a typical light novel adaptation. At the very least the main character has a reason to be good at what he does other than being the star pupil but that's about it.
Character:
They weren't anything special. There was nothing about any of the characters that stood out. They had backstories and personalities but sadly, nothing iconic about them.
Art:
This was alright. Unfortunately neither the backgrounds or character designs were spectacular. Just, at least neither one area were bad either. One complaint I do have is the school uniform designs. They looked kind of ridiculous.
Sound:
Nothing special.
Enjoyment:
It as decent. I was not the anime I look forward to most each week. It just wasn't…

I saw this anime recently, and at the time this review was written it had a score of 7.54, which is not incredibly high, but it was new so I wanted to try it out. This anime honestly surprised me, and I think this is one of the best anime of the year, if not the last few years. This review may seem like "Oh, he rated all 10's so this is biased" or whatever, but honestly, I have to admit this is one of the best action-comedy anime I have seen.
Story: 9
The story is about a lazy mage who starts teaching at the school. The first few episodes do a great job of introducing the characters and making them feel relatable and lovable. But the last few really develop the story well and make this world more interesting. Honestly, this anime is both one…

There's always that anime that seems like it's good but when it's over, the reviews change from giving it an 8 to a 5. This is one of those cases.
When you watch the first episode, it does feel a little underwhelming because if i'm being completely honest...it was pretty irritating. However, after you watch more and more episodes, it begins to get better and better. It has the right amount of suspense that would make you want to watch more but also have some comedy mixed here and there, to not make you completely bored.
The only problem with the anime is it's lack of originality. The characters have their own tropes and their personality doesn't really go beyond that. The only one that feels fleshed out is Glenn Sensei. He was probably one of the more better characters in this Spring Sea…

I welcome feedback on my reviews
We've all had at least one bastard in our life. May they be a classmate, work colleague or a friend of a friend, a certain someone will just appear out of nowhere and make you instantly despise them. It's an unspoken rule that we can't like everyone we meet, but the individuals that grind your gears to a state of disrepair are the unforgivable worst of the worst.
Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor is pretty much about the second half of the title. A new teacher joins Alzano Imperial Magic Academy, and he's a bastard. Big surprise. You'd expect a kind of School Comedy with maybe some Action thrown in since they are learning Magic, but Akashic Records decides to give us much more. Too much. The story jumps from arc to arc, whic…

Highly underrated show that exeeded my expectations imo. I think some ppl need to be more open-minded. Some of the MAL reviews that quickly judge shows with a bad score just by looking at the 'genres: Action, Magic, Fantasy, School' and the 'LN adaptation' tag. Don't get me wrong, I have watched a lot of these type of light novel adaptation shows and I did not have high expectations at all when I started the show. And I was right, episode 1 was really bad, full of the usual clichés and tropes. But if you look past that first episode, this show actually gets better exponentially. This show is surprisingly extremely entertaining, with intriguing characters. Though it still has some of the usual tropes and clichés, there was something different about the plot and characters, which are very we…

Because magic is such a foreign concept grounded in the limits of one's imagination, the possibilities for stories based around magic are virtually limitless. So what happens when you combine the concept of magic with an arcic harem setup? Well you get this show. Whoever thought this was a good show idea is a bastard for sure.
Story: Glenn Radars is a man without any motivation for anything. With his guardian, Celica, threatening him and forcing him to get off his ass to do something with his life, he ends up at the magic school that also serves as Celica's workplace, and ultimately becomes a magic teacher much to his chagrin.
Akashic Records is a very arc-heavy (or as I refer to as arcic) show. The series itself is split into 4 arcs spanning roughly 3 episodes each, with the general f…

I enjoyed this series, it was different for me, especially how the magick worked, the spells and how they work, the theory craft behind them was creative, I just couldn't help but find myself enjoying how this worked.
Story, it's fairly decent, your usual laid back lazy teacher that is stronger then first appears teaches kids about magick, but what worked for me was that while it was a bit basic in that, the characters were interesting to watch each being unique, and most of the situations were creative I felt till near the end, but didn't ruin it.
Art, like I mentioned how the magick works is nice, a but reminiscent of doctor strange, but in a good way, very flash spells with good use of everything else.
Sound, never sure how to score this as not fully sure what counts, but I had no is…

I love Akashic Records of Bastard Magical Instructor. Sure, it isn't a totally unique anime by any means, but I still believe that something doesn't have to be unique to be great. Especially since almost everything can be average or close to it if everyone broke down every show to a simpler form. I'm sure even acclaimed works can be average if you approach them with a mind set of breaking the story into simpler aspects. Well, before I start rambling too much, I love Akashic Records. I'm not sure if this or Re:Creators takes my top spot for the season, but either way, they are my top 2.
The story isn't the most unique, but it was really fun to watch. It's suppose to be that Sisitine discovering some of the mysteries about the floating sky castle, or at least it sounded that way at first; I…

In a world where students wear stripper-like uniforms:
One man--- a “bastard” of a teacher--- is called upon by a powerful and beautiful mage to teach those young stripper students the fundamentals of magic theory. ---Although in reality the powerful mage was just trying to get his lazy, isolated, moochingass out of the house.
Thus, the story begins…

At first the main character, Glen Radars, appears to be a generic all-powerful MC at first, BUT WAIT! Is he really...? This anime has a knack for throwing in (kind of) unexpected plot twists for comedic purposes. Glen Radars has more depth to him than meets the eye. The story follows him and his interactions with his students as he builds his pseudoharem--- wait what? What I meant to say was, “the story (supposedly) follows him…

*Spoilers for Akashic Records*
Before I start the review proper, or rather, this dissertation about why this show is a generic and irritating fraud that actually manages to squander any potential it had for some lazy comedy and infuriating LN bullshit clichés, I have two things I feel I must notify you of. First, a decent chunk of this review will be spent analyzing the ideas this series had and how with some major and minor tweaks, the series could've been better, at least from a storytelling perspective. Secondly, I'm about to let out something I have to get out of my chest because while this insufferable mentality I’m about to describe isn't truly widespread, I've st…

If there is one trend I dislike more than anything over the past few years, it is the plethora and popularity of light novel adaptations. Now, of course, to clarify, I don't believe that just because an anime is adapted from a light novel, it is inherently bad. There have been plenty of light novel adaptations in the past that have actually been pretty good, but what I am referring to, in this case, are the light novel adaptations that feature some boring male protagonist with spiky hair that acts as a self insert for all of the filthy otaku, who goes to some random high school that is usually one in which the students have superpowers (and for some reason it's always magic) as he becomes stronger and stronger while all of the female cast gets wet at his complete awesomeness! Most of these…

Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records is in my opinion the greatest disappointment of the spring season. Don't misunderstand me, I really enjoyed the show but after watching the first episodes my expectations were really high, this anime had a lot of potential and it got wasted, so this is why I feel let down.
The story, which seemed really good at the beginning, went to nowhere, there's no plot overall, the anime consists in Glenn (the MC) saving continuously the girls he's bound to because everyone of them is important for some reason or another and the storytelling towards the end was very rushed: I felt like it was lacking something so I read the manga (I know the LN is the original but I couldn't find it anywhere) and noticed that some details were left out of the anime adapta…

Rokudenashi is an unfortunate case of "what could have been".
I'll try to keep this relatively concise and straight-to-the-point: Rokudenashi had the potential to be a modern version of Great Teacher Onizuka. While it has an overused magic academy premise, unlike most battle harems, the protagonist here is actually the teacher of one of its classes, and he is also a huge troll. Just like Onizuka, Glenn Radars is largely incompetent at normal teacher duties, preferring to let his students have self-study sessions all the time instead of having to put any effort in. However, he also has a lot of talent in other areas, especially concerning unorthodox magic usage. What Glenn lacks inside the classroom he makes up outside of it, and his trollish interactions with his students is the main sell…

Open up a light novel with a school setting with pretty girls and a protagonist standing in the middle. Then in the background, watch for signs of magical content like sparkles, circles, etc. I swear, almost every light novel adaptation these days has something similar in nature and it doesn’t take a creative mind to write a story about them. Given the way Rokudenashi is written, there’s no treasure you’ll find in this series. Instead, you’ll spend endless hours wondering why the characters’ school uniforms look so ridiculous.
Also known as Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor, the series takes off in an academy life setting. From the first few episodes, the series doesn’t hide the personality of the main protagonist, Glenn Radars. To put it straightforward, he is a bastard. His pe…
