It’s generic “high school kids with power” fantasy fodder, and I’m sure it’ll do it for its target audience.

Even when the show picks up and we get some more magic, it’s nothing to write home about. Nothing really stands out about her, which is saying something because she has powers and you’d think that’d be interesting. Miyuki is cute in the way of a stuffed animal: they’re always cute, almost strategically so. Thankfully, things do pick up in the back half with a bit of action that’s just okay.Īnimation-wise, The Honor Student at Magic High School looks good enough, with a kind of generic style that I didn’t have too much of an opinion on. This, unfortunately, was the main gag throughout the entirety of episode one, which is… not great. She even has to remind herself that they’re siblings that they’re just two fifteen-year-old kiddos and not like, a married couple. That, and eyeing couples, because Miyuki definitely wants to do the horizontal tango with her brother, and it’s very uncomfortable y’all. What matters more is that her brother won’t look at her and her almost naked body, which… makes me think that there’s definitely some sexual tension here-Miyuki clearly is jonesin’ for a kiss, and I ain’t here for that.Ĭoincidentally, it happens to be near Miyuki’s birthday, which is really where we spend the meat of this episode. Why she’s almost nude? Well, I guess so the tech works better. This hard cuts to an almost-nude Miyuki, who’s getting a magic check. Without a moment’s hesitation, she goes to save the day. At first, we don’t see her face, then the camera pans up, revealing the main character for this show, Shiba Miyuki. Flames consume a building in great, wall-gobbling, black-smoked wreathed fireballs, sending crowds of people fleeing… until a black-haired girl comes to the rescue. That said, let’s get into The Honor Student at Magic High School, which I will be largely treating as a standalone for review purposes.Įpisode 1, “I’ll cherish this for the rest of my life”, starts off on fire: no, literally, on fire. I know very little about the series, which is probably why I didn’t even notice Miyuki, who is on many a The Irregular at Magic High School cover, was on the splash art for this series. In fact, it hadn’t even crossed my mind to consider the similarities because, as the kids say, I don’t even go there. In fact, until I opened up Funimation, my eyes weary and itching from summer allergies, I didn’t know that this was a spin-off. It’s important, before I begin my review, to tell you that I’ve never engaged with The Irregular at Magic High School in any capacity. Thankfully, things go well for most of her special day… until they go very, very wrong. Butthat’s not going to get in the way of Miyuki’s fifteenth birthday, which she plans to spend with her brother on a date. The game is being developed only by me (Nikolas Crisci).What’s It About? Shiba Miyuki is a seemingly normal teenage beauty… if you don’t count her ability to use magic, which she’s encouraged not to do in order to keep herself out of the limelight and out of the gaze of the Magicians’ Association. How many people are working on this game?.If you want to know more, I wrote an article about it. The short answer to this question is yes because it was the only way I could create this game.

If you are a board game player, the more appropriate term would be drafting. The term deckbuilding as it is commonly used in video games seems to be quite fitting, but instead of playing cards for combat, you have real-time Hack and Slash combat. Is this game really a deckbuilding game?.Join my discord server to register for the upcoming beta. There will be a closed beta later on but currently, but I do not have any fixed dates yet.
