This series is really annoying. The idea seemed to be written with the intention of repelling as well as appealing to me. The former as the idea of a "wrong way to use healing magic" felt more personally relevant to me as someone who frequently assumes the position of healer in online games yet still enjoys casting spells as a healer. The latter because the plot is as simple as it gets in terms of isekai: three students-because, of course, they need high school students-are called to a fantasy world in order to save the kingdom; one of them just happens to tag along for the ride but, naturally, ends up with a unique magic that sets him apart from the others.
To put it plainly, this series' writing is subpar. It just didn't know how to exploit what was a straightforward yet fascinating notion past its infancy. It's unfortunate, because the show misses possibilities to produce something great, even when the foundations of something good are there. It skips over some things that ought to be more important and drags out others that aren't worth the time. It's doubly annoying because they built up more of an adventure-focused narrative for an S2 that may never exist, but I truly thought this one would be more worthwhile. It's unfortunate that they haven't given us much of an opportunity to explore this intriguing universe they appear to be creating.
