I cannot overstate how generic this anime is. If you're looking for a show that breaks new ground or offers anything of substance, this isn't it. The main thing you can't
trust is the first two episodes. They make the case that this will be a bit like Mob Psycho 100 but have an intriguing twist with its protagonist. But don't be fooled, immediately after the striking second episode the show sinks into a pit of shounen mediocrity unmatched by its competitors. The uninteresting and
overdone sorcery powers aside, this show wastes no time delving into every trope imaginable, from seemingly machine-generated hype culture pandering in the handling of its battles to overpowered characters not giving a shit what they're doing, and even dipping a toe into the most tried and failed shounen cliche of all, killing main characters to create a false sense of urgency only to bring them back a minute later.
