I am two episodes in and so far, I would give the series a 3 out of 10. I went in completely blind.
Here are my issues.
First ep.
- The pacing is way too fast. We were introduced to too many things, characters etc and it felt rushed.
- The main Character is annoying. He reminds me of Inosuke from Demon Slayer. He is just a lot to handle. I get that he is hyper but I am NOT a fan.
- His motivation. He wants to become the wizard king to help the people in his village, but the people in his village do not seem to be struggling at all. Everyone (even children) have the ability to use magic.
- The first fight scene was very anticlimactic. The minor villain was very forgettable and did not really establish any sort of scale for how powerful a former knight should be compared to complete rookies. If anything, it had the opposite effect.
- The no magical power thing had a very predicable outcome.
Second Ep.
- The overall backstory was extremely weak. His friend gets robbed so he keeps fighting the thief until the thief gets tired of kicking his ass? I get that this was supposed to establish that he doesn't give up but its just so damn medicore.
- The promise they made to one another to become pirate king and rivals is just weird and forced. It get that the story wants to get a place but it did not earn it. It reminds me of the horridness of Zoolander aka jojo bizarre adventure where the main rivalry was forced just for the hell of it.
I may give this another episode but if it does not get better I am out of here.
