![]() ![]() ![]() Not that there’s any problem with this, but it did feel like I changed the channel, and this is one of the few times that Sistine looks hyper instead of serious or smiling contently. But then, there’s the part where Sistine makes herself feel better by grabbing Rumia’s boobs, making her friend flustered in the middle of the women’s locker room as she regrets not being as well-endowed as her blonde friend. This seems more in-line with what their characters are really like. Take the beginning, for example, where Rumia is portrayed as someone who goes out of their way to help people out, but is discouraged enough in her abilities that Sistine gives her a small pep talk to help her out. They’re the characters that are closest together as best friends, but the first episode doesn’t seem sure what the nature of their friendship is. The only bond that does feel odd is the friendship between Sistine and Rumia. They even make a funny pairing in the preview where she further pushes him to continue the show. Glenn and Cecilia started out amusing as she nearly blasts a massive energy beam at his face in one scene, and defends his honor from up-tight higher ups at the academy in another. Meanwhile, it is heart-warming that Rumia Tingel ( Miyamoto Yume), Sistine’s close friend, was quick to grow some form of kinship with Glenn as their shared interest in food fleshes them out.

One other aspect that Akashic does great is the chemistry he has with the other two main characters. Although there’s more time later to redeem Glenn as a magical prodigy in disguise, it is the first episode’s willingness to continue taking away any opportunities for Glenn to both take his job seriously and be taken seriously that makes it enjoyable. There are still plenty of tropes that Akashic indulges in like an unusually placed fanservice scene in the women’s locker room that Glenn accidentally barges in to witness, but only he would be shameless enough to directly tell the girls he hopes to engrain the image of this scene in his eyes before he gets a face full of justice. It is Glenn’s behavior that helps the show stand out from being another walk through fantasy school territory. He, then, proceeds to do everything in his power to get kicked out of his position. Through the unbridled force of Cecilia Arfornia ( Kitamura Eri), he was granted a substitute teaching job to replace a highly renowned professor. 「やる気のないロクでなし」 ( Yaruki no nai roku de nashi)įrom the first episode, the main draw of Akashic Records is the unscrupulous nature of our hero, Glenn Radars ( Saito Soma). ![]()
