Bogus Skill <> has a fun premise, a likable protagonist, and some genuinely good ideas. But it also has inconsistent pacing, average animation, and a writing problem that keeps it from reaching its potential. The show doesn't know whether it wants to be about Light's journey or about the larger world of Taboo Skills and political intrigue, and it never commits to either. If you're a diehard fan of fantasy anime and you don't mind average production values, this is worth a watch. If you're looking for something that lives up to its premise, you'll be disappointed.
