The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord’s Army was a Human : Episode 1

Current Episode Score: 6

Well, I’ve decided to drop this show straight from episode one. I honestly didn’t see anything in this episode that convinces me to watch the show. It just comes off as yet another kinda pointless light novel/manga adaption. With sub-par visuals and animation style. And not adding anything to the source material for people already fans, I just don’t know who this show is for. I’ve seen so many of these adaptions in the past couple years, and I’m just tired of them all. For so many of them, you are far better just reading the source material.

I have to wonder, has this always just been an issue in the industry. And just feel like it is happening more because every light novel/manga gets an english release now before the anime launches, so I’ve already started reading it. Sure the visuals and animation is poor, but I would probably be more ok with this show if I wasn’t reading the manga already.
