Basically, this is the new Naruto. Shuueisha has already said that they want to do this, and we already got a filler episode in episode 3! The story is good, it gives off Ao no Exorcist vibes, and overall, everyone is interesting. Except…. For Asta’s seiyuu. This is the debut for Gakuto Kajiwara, his seiyuu, and wow… it’s bad. In fact, it is so bad and so painful to listen to him, that dropping the series is something that frequently flashes before our minds every episode. Which is terrible because the anime itself is great! The characters are good, the magic looks to be cool, no one is really detestable, and above all else, you find yourself cheering for Asta to succeed. But that voice needs to be fixed or replaced stat. Either way though, this shounen anime has promise and we hope that it only gets better from here on out!

Asta

Voice Actor: Gakuto Kajiwara

Asta is a member of the Black Bull squad. He cannot use magic at all, but the zealous young boy not only trains and has a strong body, he has put his determination into his weapon. He is aiming to become the Magic Emperor. He is able to render his opponent’s magic useless, as well as bounce magic back. He is in possession of an anti-magic grimore. (On the left below)

Yami Sukehiro

Voice Actor: Junichi Suwabe

Yami is the leader of the Black Bull squad. He has a tough exterior and a wild temperament, however he is extremely popular and well-liked by the members of the Black Bull Squad.

Yuno

Noelle Silva

Voice Actor: Kana Yuuki

Noelle is the youngest daughter of the Silva royal family. While she is in possession of a large amount of magical power, she cannot control it well. Due to her brother and sister being exceptionally skilled, she is scorned by her family as a good-for-nothing and she has a complex about it. She tries to be easygoing as a person, but she cannot be honest with herself, and is constantly acting saucy and high-handed. The straightforward Asta is always on her mind…

Finral Roulacase

Voice Actor: Jun Fukuyama

Finral is a spatial magic user, and as such, if he is in a place where he has been before and seen it with his eyes, then he can open and close the space around it. Thanks to this, he is the assistant to the leader of the Black Bull squad, Yami. A smooth-talker, he likes women. He was born the eldest son of a famous family known for its attacking spatial magic. He actually dislikes fighting, and he is bad at attacking and has very poor stamina.

Magna Swing

Voice Actor: Genki Muro

Just like Asta, Magna is not from the capital, but rather, he is from Rayaka Village way out in the countryside. He looks and acts like a delinquent, but as a senpai, he is gentle with the weak and troubled, and he dutifully looks after his kouhai. He idolizes Yami, known as a man among men, and refers to himself as “chief underling”. He and fellow Black Bull squad member Luck frequently take jabs at each other making others wonder if they get on well or poorly.

Luck Volita

Voice Actor: Ayumu Murase

Luck is a commoner, but he has extremely powerful magical capabilities and he excels at his ability to perceive things. He loves to battle with powerful individuals more than anything. His one and only family member, his mother, forcibly coerced him and strictly raised him by regularly saying “Keep winning” and “Be strong” to him. This could be why he is a wreck.

Gauche Adlai

Voice Actor: Satoshi Hino

Gauche is a mega-siscon who says “if it is for my sister, I will give my all.” Regardless of whether or not if it is good or evil, he will do anything for his sister. In possession of a vast amount of magic, he uses a strange form of magic that uses a mirror. He was born into the noble Adlai family, but after both his parents died, both he and his sister Mari, who was but a child, were cast out. To support them, he steals and commits various crimes leading to him being imprisoned. He meets Yami when he is in the process of breaking out.

Vanessa Enoteca

Voice Actor: Nana Mizuki

Vanessa loves alcohol and is consistently hung over. She excels at controlling magic and uses magic that uses threads. She has a irresponsible personality, but she actually looks after her allies and kouhai well. She lived in a Sealed Witches Forest, but after meeting Yami, his words moved her heart and going against the ruling witch queen, she left the village and headed out into the outside world.
