Editor's Review
“A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special” is a fantasy anime that debuted in the Fall of 2023. The series is produced by Arvo Animation and is based on a web manga. The story revolves around Desir Arman, one of the last skilled magicians left standing in a world on the brink of destruction after a devastating ten-year war in the “shadow labyrinth”.
The series begins with Desir’s failed efforts to save the world. Just when he’s certain the end has come, he is sent back in time to his early days of studying magic at the prestigious Hebrion Academy. With this rare second chance, Desir is determined to save not only himself but also the friends and comrades he once lost.
The series has been praised for its unique premise and the balance it strikes between action and fantasy. Desir’s character is particularly noteworthy. He is described as an analytical fighter. Yet, despite these traits, he manages to perform miracle after miracle in his fight to save himself.
The series also explores themes of school and time travel. It is set in a world reminiscent of a quasi-modern fantasy setting. This historical fantasy setting adds depth to the narrative and provides a rich backdrop for the story.
However, the series is not without its flaws. Some viewers have criticized the pacing and character development. Despite these criticisms, the series has a score of 7.10 on MyAnimeList and is ranked #3657 in popularity.
In conclusion, “A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special” is a unique anime that offers a fresh take on the fantasy genre. It combines action, school, and time travel elements to create a compelling narrative. While it has its shortcomings, the series is worth watching for its unique premise and engaging storyline.
