Recenzja użytkownika Jeoffrey do tego serialu (3)
Season 1 (2014) (S01)
After a six year wait, it is finally time to review what someone is calling the "expletive-strewn The Irregular at Magic High School"... I scrolled through the reviews, watched a few episodes again to reacquaint myself with the show, and I am now once again sure enough that my feelings have not changed. My impressions of the show were again more or less summed up by my favorite reviewer, although he probably did not expect this. So, I am going to borrow and slightly modify some stuff from his review - the main protagonist is COOL, the spells are COOL, the graphics are COOL, however, the incest is NOT COOL, although then again there is no censorship of severed limbs... Who is this anime series aimed at? Well, at me! It was made for the guy who is bored of life, regularly gets stressed out at work, does not sleep well, and struggles with his problems even when he is asleep, analyzing them from different perspectives... Why? Because we are watching a COOL main male male protagonist who deals with all his problems with a cool head using his special powers that are, again, COOL. Heck, that is exactly what I want to be able to do, that is just what I want to be - steadfast, determined, rational, stoic, and when you throw in a believable idol from (not only) all the women - then we have a fairy-tale that I am going to enjoy. I am going to root for the main protagonist, I am going to be proud to be of the same species and gender as the main protagonist... Sure, it is largely about everyone underestimating the protagonist, and that he just waves his hand (with the help of an occasionally slightly flimsy screenplay) and kicks their asses. However, truth be told - this is the easiest and most effective way of gaining satisfaction that any story can offer, and unexpectedly it still works. Misanthropic pretentious arrogant pricks who think they are better than everyone else, and who constantly boast about how amazing they are, are disliked by almost everyone, and that feeling of natural justice, when they get what is coming to them - well that is always satisfying for the average person (because actually in reality, this never really happens). You can disagree with me and argue that there are better shows, better protagonists, better stories. Yes indeed, however, can you name any from the special academy fantasy genre? Maybe the quite endearing Trinity Seven, but it came after The Irregular in Magic High School... or High school DxD, which is also a very controversial (and expletive-strewn) anime series for many... In other words, if you have seen as many terrible anime shows set in special academy in your life as I have (and are still watching more just because you just like the fantasy genre in general), then you have to consider this anime series above average, and if you have wasted your life with so many beta (to sigma or even omega) males that you are now embarrassed by the entire male species, then you should just love Tatsuya from The Irregular at Magic High School! I am even going so far as planning to watch The Irregular at Magic High School the Movie: The Girl Who Calls the Stars right after the second season in the fall of 2020, because I could not properly digest it yet as it does not follow the first season... I am also happy that I am not alone in this, and that the rating of this, for some, despicable piece of work, is always above seventy percent on other internet movie databases (IMDB, MAL, AL). This anime series is nothing really exceptional, it has obvious plot holes and overall does not always make sense, and there is the incest thing (sure, it makes sense that ninety-nine percent of the time it is not about a biological relative, however, there is still that "little brother" thing, which sounds weird in a sexual context...), on the other hand, it is a dynamic show, I find the main protagonist very endearing, the other characters are not irritating, the animation is more than decent, and even the story with its plot twists has me quite intrigued. Me like it! 7.5/10.

Raihóša-hen (2020) (S02)
Somehow, I am not convinced that season two of The Irregular at Magic High School is anything groundbreaking or particularly interesting. In fact, I found the whole of The Irregular at Magic High School: Visitor Arc to be just another small (albeit incredibly long-winded) diversion for the main male protagonist and his crew. I think it is a shame that I did not find it very interesting. I found it lacked suspense and also had no real twists. Sure, maybe some of the events shown in this season will be seen to have an impact in future episodes, and this season will eventually get its due, however, it is just that I cannot see that at the moment... I have to say that I also did not find this season very entertaining. I still like the main male protagonist who is going around solving one problem after another with coolness and calm, and in extreme situations he manages to always dig deep and pull off another incredible spell. He is also still undeniably charismatic and I can kind of see what all those girls see in him. However, what does this show have besides a good protagonist? There are a couple of new characters, not much of a storyline, some decent action scenes... However, that is just not enough to make this show more than just average! I think the second season is quite mediocre. 5.5/10.

Season 3 (2024) (S03)
These three arcs combined into one season entertained me more than the second season's singular storyline. However, the overall pace felt quite fast, making it seem like time was just flying by. As a result, some events, like the school tournament, got significantly less screen time compared to the first season and were essentially just a backdrop. None of the arcs managed to pull me out of the occasional sense of boredom I felt while watching. The series maintains its usual vibe: Tatsuya remains the unshakeable cool guy, Miyuki is still the adorable sister constantly worried about her brother, and there are plenty of side characters, with even more new ones, making it harder for me to keep track of who’s who. My tastes have evolved over the years, and I have to admit, Aunt Maya is probably the sexiest character in the show despite being quite the bitch. But that’s a bit off-topic, as is my planned joke about the third season's biggest shocker being — SPOILER — the outcome of incest! END OF SPOILER. The beginning of the thirteenth episode amused my cynical side quite a bit. Despite everything, the third season of "Irregular" is visually appealing, with good moments, intriguing magical battles, and some well-executed plot twists. My overall impression fluctuated between a 6/10 and a 7/10 (similarly to the previous season, but knock off a point for both numbers), and it ultimately settled closer to a six. Still, I’m looking forward to the announced movie sequel. According to a friend who’s read the manga, the best part is yet to come — let’s hope he’s right. Season 3 – 6.4/10.
