Mikagura School Suite is an anime about Eruna, a super energetic and super gay girl with magic powers attending magic high school. The show is carried entirely by her and her energy, so if you enjoy that, you'll probably enjoy the show. I do. She's the middle one here. She has a crush on Seisa, the one on our right. Seisa is a refined ojou-sama and has both a ~mysterious past~ and mismatched legwear. The lefterly one has so far only appeared in the OP, but I suspect she'll be joining in whatever club Eruna makes along with Seisa. There are many other characters who have names but aren't particularly important except to be moe and occasionally fight with magic high school powers. Others may remember them if they wish. It's streaming on Funimation, so you should suck it up and watch it on their mediocre player.

This show is dumb and I enjoy it. I want to say that fights are quite decently animated but they're not, they just have enough energy to fake it, which is pretty much the show in a nutshell.

The only way I can describe the show is that it's fascinatingly average. It's like someone's holding a tiller on the writers to keep it from getting outright interesting, and throwing Eruna at any point it might get too boring  .Lucy Heartfilia posted:Eruna owns.

What does 'corrected' mean in this context? I'm not really up on actual animation terms.

This girl ain't right. Show would be insanely boring with a generic male MC though so that's fine.

I approve of yes cantaloupe's av note to the writers of mikagura school suite: it is not a good strategy to demonstrate in your op and ed that your main character's entire motivation is a foregone conclusion and she'll inevitably be paired off with someone who has not even appeared as of episode 3

My hope is that the lilac-haired girl will never appear outside the opening for the sheer absurdity of the thing.

It's interesting to watch a show that's so totally dependent on one character to be entertaining at all. If that character wasn't the main character, and instead some relatively minor character who doesn't show up that much, I doubt this show would have shown up on anyone's radar. As long as Eruna stays like she is, I definitely see myself turning in every week.

What bugs me with the show is there's no bigger picture to it (save for the flying cat). With most other similar shows, there's a big magical/supernatural world and the education makes sense in the long-term for preparing the students for a life in it. Here they just have powers and fight for their club's standing because...

Maybe it has something to do with Seisa's inevitable tragic backstory? I noticed the lack of purpose too, but it's in line with the show's general lack of substance.

Hahaha, this is great. Not great as in high quality but great as in fun. It's kinda dumb and silly but it manages to hit the right type and amount of it for me to enjoy watching it.

Eruna is still a ton of fun. I would prefer if the show were more the first three quarters of the episode and less the last. It's good to see Seisa getting bits of personality.

I was more glad to see Eruna's infectious optimism and energy is starting to get to Seisa.

Haven't watched e5 yet, but this show sure has its strong points.    It's nice to get a female lead who knows what she wants and is shameless about it. It took me a couple episodes to realize what was going on in the opening bits of episode 1 (Seisa's senpai trying to murder her, then Seisa unintentionally killing (?) senpai with Killing Art in self defense). Seems like the show at least has some interesting places to go even if it never has stakes. Aside from being goofy and perverse and uninhibited, it's nice that they rounded out Eruna's character a little. She's capable and clever and willing to learn from other people. Before she awakens during the first fight, she does the sort of stuff you'd expect from a character like Toru from Chaika. When she gets her rear end handed to her she takes it in stride. The way everyone in the cast treats her like total garbage and thinks she's a moron helps amplify the contrast - it feels like a slightly more intelligent version of the usual 'hero's youthful spirit triumphs over everything' structure for these shows. Lilac-haired girl seems like she just exists to provide a counterpoint to Seisa. I mean, with a heroine like this it's only natural to make it into some sort of depraved lesbian harem, right?

PACING *wins a fight* *immediately after loses the tournament from an offscreen fight* And involving another main character, you'd think that's the kind of development you normally show your viewers! Oh look lavender haired girl finally, she sure looks excited, it only took half of the show's runtime now how in the hell is she going to get her way in the otp (answer: she's probably the first other lesbian in the show judging by eruna's non-existent standards)

Yup, this show is dumb, and oddly-paced, and fun. I hope that Eruna continues to solve her and everyone around her's problems with enthusiasm and nothing else. I love her club.

see we all made the mistake of assuming the sole actual plotline of this anime would not abruptly rocket through the last two thirds of its content and conclude halfway through the show's runtime a common mistake, we should all re-establish our expectations so i think when the next gundam comes out its safe to say all the gundam stuff will be done like episode 7? and they'll spend the rest of the show playing baseball and stuff

On the other hand it has a fun main character and is often amusing and I don't give a poo poo about vocaloids or whatever.

Eruna is a fun character, but I wonder if she can carry the show for it's full length.

The only especially odd thing about the pacing for the show as a whole so far (as opposed to each individual episode) is that we've only just been introduced to purple. Everything else seems about as it should be. We've gotten through the early "learn to use your MC powers" arc and have just finished the "fall short of expectations during an important trial" midseason arc. Now, neither of these things seem particularly important compared to more people for Eruna to enthuse at, but we're right on schedule for the high school battle portion of the show. Heck, if purple was less prominent in the OP, then I'd say we're where we should be, period. Individual episodes, though, seem like each scene was made by different folks not consulting with each other who gave scenes arbitrary lengths, then slapped them together with their only concern being that the final product came out to ~22 minutes.

Considering how many studios are tacked onto the front of each episode, that actually wouldnt surprise me.

They should tack together more scenes of Eruna being great and fewer scenes of other stuff, IMO. Maybe some battles with a decent budget if that's not too much to ask (it is).
