EPISODE REVIEWS

I couldn't stop grinning when Linnoquis kicked Gandolf once and just walked away. The man collapsed way later and his students still hadn't figured it out. My favorite kind of comedy

The mana test crystal staying dim for Nia is the whole show in one beat. Zero magic and she just shrugs and decides fists are faster. That tiny pause after the teacher says the color didn't appear told me everything

Two main things happen this episode: one, Nia gets disappointed with the challenge she so desperately looked forward to, and two: our trio discuss how to promote magivision. As is apparent, nothing is great importance happens and we focus on the fluffy aspect of the girls. Now, I do like what's happening and I'm sure we'll get to see the friendship of our girls develop over the episodes, but I can't help but feel like we're wasting potential to some extent. We have this really cool concept with a freakishly OP child and all we have being shown is her daily school life and a maximum five minute focus on her and her skillset per episode. I really like Nia and think her type of insanity is rather appealing; I just want them to do more with her than sticking her in a classroom environment, most especially because she's extremely unlikely to start running into people to fight when she's kept in the same place.
