    Unpretentious Fun

    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..

    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.

    Magic, Action and Heart

    This anime's a rare gem that instantly brings back good memories. The story's got a great hook - a lazy teacher named Glenn who's actually a magic genius? Yes, please! Action scenes are intense, humor's on point, and animation's top-notch. Production team nailed it!

    Characters shine too! Sistine's adorable with her secret crush on Glenn, and Rumia's the sweetest thing ever. They're well-developed with unique personalities, motivations, and backstories. Supporting cast's great too!

    Ending's amazing, totally satisfying! No spoilers, but it'll leave you grinning. Overall, impressed with this anime. Unique storyline, authentic and engaging. 9/10, must-watch!

    Excitement went down with each episode

    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.
