That's OK, I'm in it for the voices and Ai owning bad guys, a half season is probably gonna be 100% that.

The appropriately-named Bastard Magical Instructor.

On the other hand, other folks didn't like how rapey it apparently got in places.

The second episode literally has an attempted rape scene in it, so take what you want from that.

Studio: Gokumi (YuYuYu, Kinmoza, Saki after S1)
Character Design: Shizuma Yoshinori (Kantai Collection, Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho)

A new original anime project. Rough synopsis translation from MAL:

quote:

There's an evil creature called Aratama that attack people, and group of Miko has been exorcised those creatures using swords since olden times. Those who usually wear uniforms and swords are called Toji, who officially called Tokubetsu Saishi Kitoutai (Special Ritual Maneuver Team) in police association. They are officially approved of having the swords by the government official, but they are female students who attend training schools that only have 5 schools and consists of junior and senior high levels. They normally spend their student life normally, they release special skills with the swords when there's missions to protect people. This spring, there's a competitions for these five schools. Among those girls who train for competition, there's a girl training with a bit stronger feelings than any other girls. Where would the girl with the sword aim?

it is an original production as opposed to having source material in another medium, yes.

cool elements:
  • sword-wielding miko (exorcism by the blade, nice)
  • combat seifuku (re-association of school uniforms with their military origin = ok hand)
  • "girls only" premise (could this setup be...)
  • testing each other through the sword (*gaydar pings slightly faster*)
  • Shizuma Yoshinori

It's an American comic series, but it's noticeably influenced by manga, but not in a bad way! The couple of chapters I read weren't bad, and it's nice to look at.

sure, cherrypicking credits can be used to construct whatever narrative you want. though in this case 2/3 of those shows were well-received here, so maybe it didn't work out so well

ultimately i don't care whether people have any interest in it, it just seems really lame to be trying to, like, prove it bad based on a couple scraps of information
