As usual, I will start from the plot, visuals, and characters development. From these three elements, I vote for the visuals eventho' I'm sorry to say that the graphic is not enough to be described as fantastic. It's good enough, nice battle the series has, and catchy magic circles lol When the school life enters the scene, there is not much to say. the graphic and artworks are proper. However sometimes from my point of view, this show miss the details except well-built architecture.
I wish to skip the plot review because it's nothing special, someone who wants to save his family member and need to be stronger and involved others as party. Well, I think that's a good wish. Briefly the story went pyon-pyon, it was like there were so many shortcuts they clicked to advance towards Arata's goal. Occasionally, we will find the explanation of how the magic works in a battle rather than the battle itself, it was quite bothering me and made me wonder why would the show makes the explanation in words instead of making us understand from the fight? Summary, too much talk, babbling just about the detail of strategy or power or magic itself. So messy it is.
Then what upset me the most is characters development. They are developing physically, by training and experiences in battle. Lack of improvement emotionally/personality, which makes the character seems so stagnant (aside from the story). Trinity Sevens's love for Arata is increasing bit by bit, and the show ecchi-ness, too, is leveled up considerably. Ecchi-ness in every serious situation, not enough real fights, the story is hanging and chimerical. That's what I could note up to now.
The theme song for this series is much more than the usual. The OP song is only one, sung by ZAQ "Seven Doors". I like this one the melody has stomping rhythm. There are four different ED themes; "BEAUTIFUL≒SENTENCE" by Magus Two (Lilith Asami's seiyuu & Arin Kannazuki's seiyuu); "SHaVaDaVa in AMAZING♪" by Yui Levi♡ (Levi Kazama's seiyuu & Yui Kurata's seiyuu); "ReSTART "THE WORLD"" by TWINKle MAGIC [Lieselotte Sherlock's seiyuu & Serina Sherlock's seiyuu); "TRINITY×SEVENTH+HEAVEN" by Security Politti (Mira Yamana's seiyuu & Akio Fudou's seiyuu). These songs are sung by seiyuus of Trinity Seven, plus younger sister of Lieselotte Sherlock. These four are good, SHaVaDaVa in AMAZING♪ has cloudless tempo, mostly filled with somewhat electronic music technology and instruments.
I appreciate various theme songs here. Alas, I give this show rate around 4.5 only.
Cons:
- Ecchiness is sealing the seriousness (ecchi scenes are too much, out of place)
- Poor characters development
- Too much babbling like trash talk
