It's cute, but the story so far is just so boring and there were a lot of strange choices in the writing like skipping the entire conversation with the dragon. It felt like we got to know very little about the main character or the world he's in, and we didn't even dig that deep into the nature of magic and what makes someone good at it. I give the premiere a 2/5.

ETA: I forgot to mention, the boy doesn't know how ice works, molecularly. I'm glad his visualization worked for him, but I'm curious if his ice is truly denser than water like he tried to make it.

Okay, I've almost forgotten how tolerable Rio is when he is alone. But going by the after credits scene it's going to become intolerable going forward.

Quality wise I had hoped for more. It's not exactly powerpoint levels of animation but it's also not far off. I guess it was too much to ask to get another quality surprise like last seasons Country Bumpkin.

OP looked interesting, so I'll continue watching for now.

Elf spoiler

Was that supposed to be Sera in the ED? She looked cutesy and clumsy with her summer dress and dropping the thingy on the floor instead of hyper competent and cool as described in the books. I guess it's intended as some sort of fan service that shows a different side of her, but as the first introduction anime onliest get to the character it sends the wrong first impression in my opinion.

not sure..... either way it was cute.

the OP appearance of the elf was cute though.
