“Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records” is an adaptation of a light novel about a young, unenthusiastic mage who is forced to teach a class of high-level young mages in a world full of mages. The first episode sets the bar very low from the beginning; the girl students wear very skimpy school uniforms and as soon as possible the scene changes over to a change room solely to show off the frilly underwear of the girl students, and where the main girl gropes her best girlfriend.

The comedy in the first episode is pretty pathetic. The animation of anything but the cute-girl-mages is flat and static.I had the feeling that somewhere deep inside there was an interesting story that was desperately trying to come out into view, but every time it found the slightest opening it was hammered down by heavy-handed direction, banal dialog, and paint-by-number set pieces.

I don't care enough about the “mystery” to stick around a force myself to sit through so much wasted air time. My final rating is D+.

I think you're being generous with the "+" on that rating, TBH.

I didn't stick with it to the "yuri" part. Maybe it turns into a show
with some kind of actual plot, but right now the only redeeming feature
it has is that the girls are cute, and at least for me, that does not
redeem it enough.

No final rating because I did not finish it (or would not finishing the
first episode make the rating an "F").
