A hard-working boy named Will enters a magic academy in hopes of becoming a great sorcerer. Unfortunately, there's a fatal flaw in his plan: he lacks the ability to use magic. Amid the cold stares of his classmates and instructors, Will feels discouraged at times, but he presses forward with unwavering determination. He can't use a wand, but he can wield a sword in his battle to reach the top of a magic-dominated world. He just needs to believe in his own unique strengths and remember the promise he made with someone precious to him...

Inconsistent at best, generic at worst, Wistoria manages to provide the cheap thrills of the genre.
From the same author as DanMachi, another story arrives about a teenage boy who uses unconventional means to fight, in a world full of magic that has a dungeon with several floors and monsters. Sound familiar? Wistoria is a combination of various clichés that have been used a thousand and one times…
This anime has a lot of problems, even more inconsistencies, and feels more like a set up for the 2nd Season.
Let me start the review with this:
This is my first time ever writing a "proper" review. If there is anything I missed or something like that, though I don't know if people can reply to reviews, please let me know.

Wistoria tells a fast-paced, yet familiar story displayed with grace, bravado and charm.

Historically, I don’t typically go for reviews that list specific parts of a show and rate them individually, because they of…
An okay magical school show with very good animation
**Wistoria Wand and Sword**
Wistoria Wand and Sword is an okay spin on the magical school format which introduces some interesting and gorgeous animation but falls short of living up to it. Particularly the nature of how plot information is conveyed through constant repetition drags down the show…
Wistoria is pure hype. Insane animation, zero fan service, and fight scenes that never cut away. A solid binge.
So my final score for Wistoria: Wand and Sword is a 75/100. Binging shows isn't really my thing lately. Wistoria somehow kept me completely locked in from episode one till the end, though. I literally stared at my screen for hours. I only hit pause to grab a quick snack or use the restroom. A series…
