On the other hand however, we have characters like Rumia who have some interesting back story, but throughout the series she acts more as the comedic relief character who predictably, doesn’t take anything seriously. (Though his “bastard” personality remains mostly the same.) The teacher transforms before our eyes in every episode of the show and overcomes everyone’s low expectations of him (just like this show.) The characterization of the teacher is fantastic and well executed! On one hand we have the teacher, who is a very dynamic character who goes through a lot of changes throughout the show. I have mixed feelings about the characterization of the show. I came into this series with some very low expectations, only expecting to watch the first episode and be done with it, but I was surely wrong about this one and I’m really glad I watched it! Characterization 6/10 Overall, I can’t complain since it was a lot better than I was expecting. Of course, the teacher himself has a pretty interesting backstory that gets slowly revealed throughout the show and the two main girls, Sistine and Rumia also get some light story reveals, but the first season heavily revolves around the teacher and his friends Re=L. This is one of the biggest down falls of the anime and I really felt it hard in the final episode of the first season where a few rabbits were pulled out of the story hat at the last moment and the final fight was less than epic. What might have taken 2 episodes to build up to, ends up taking less than a few minutes of screen time to resolve. However, when all the tension has lifted and our hero (surprise, the teacher) comes to save the day, it is unfortunate that usually the conflict is resolved rather quickly and predictably. Some conflicts in the show last for more than 1 episode. But, on the other hand, conflict resolve happens rather quickly. Definitely, there were some great moments and plot twists that I didn’t see coming. When it comes to conflict, you better believe that the anime does a good job extending it and giving us some good moments. That was the only arc where it felt like we truly covered everything we needed to know to be satisfied with Re=L’s back story. There were a lot of hints here and there at some of the interesting things of the world, but I never felt like we truly hit meaningfully upon everything except with Re=L’s arc.
The story hints at so many different things which are never fully explained, which of course, is effective at wetting our appetite and getting us interested but throughout the entirety of Season 1 I was waiting for some big explanation or at least a little dive deeper into this lore. In Akashic Records, when the story gets deep, it is almost immediately interrupted with some silly moment or it just doesn’t ever hit that depth that would illicit any crying or tears.

Now, you might be saying, “That sort of sounds like Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood!” The main difference between Akashic Records and FMA Brotherhood is that in FMA Brotherhood, when the story gets serious, the emotions and stakes get really, really deep. (Unlike what FMA Brotherhood was able to accomplish in the first few episodes.) There’s also some really interesting magic powers and lore that are briefly explored in the show but never really gave a fully satisfactory explanation of the magic in the show. On the other hand we have some seriously dark tones that show up in some of the story elements. (Mind you I actually found it enjoyable still.) On one hand we have a silly show where the teacher’s antics and being a, you guessed it, bastard, are played upon in some funny ways. This is an anime that has a really mixed presentation. The story has a lot of potential but I don’t think it quite fully executes upon it in the first season.

*Spoiler free means that plot twists and key story points will be omitted, but information such as basic character info and details you could learn in the first few episodes are fair game. The following is my spoiler-free review of this anime. It has a lot of potential, though it does have some qualities that keep it from being a great anime, it is definitely worth the watch if you choose to watch it! I don’t think you will regret it, however if you also choose not to watch this show, you might not really be missing out on anything too amazing. Overall, it is a good time but it’s not going to be anime of the year! This anime is very compatible to Black Butler in terms of the quality and story, I don’t think Akashic Records holds any water to FMA Brotherhood! (Though they do have similarities for sure!) The show doesn’t take itself too seriously except for a few key story moments, however it never really hits home with those “feels” in any scene for me. This anime felt like a unique fusion between the seriousness and interesting lore of Full Metal Alchemist and the silliness and cute moments of Black Butler.
