Synopsis

After a decade spent fighting monsters in the Shadow Labyrinth—a growing dark cloud of magic that threatens to engulf the world and destroy all life—mage Desir Herrman and his five companions finally face their last foe: the dragon of destruction Boromir Napolitan. Although the group of heroes manages to slay this formidable opponent, the tremendous amount of mana stored within the dragon's body is released in an unstoppable explosion that annihilates the rest of the world.

However, instead of dying, Desir is sent back 10 years into the past with complete memories of events to come. He enrolls at Hebrion Academy, determined to put an end to the classist prejudice plaguing the magical world that will ultimately lead to the demise of humanity. Unfortunately, his struggle begins early on during the entrance exams; although he is ranked first of his group, Desir is assigned to the Beta Class, the default class for commoners.

Now, Desir's next objective is to rally someone to his cause that he could not save in his previous life: the wind mage Romantica Eru. Then, Desir will have to show his worth to the Alpha Class with his newly formed party if he wants to ultimately save as many lives as possible.

What would you do if you failed to save the world? What if you had one more chance? What would you do differently? That is what this story is trying to tell, the story of a second chance.

A Returner's Magic Should Be Special is about how Desir failed to save the world and now gets a second chance, by traveling back to the start of his time in a magical academy. We then follow him trying to change what happened originally, to hopefully change the outcome of the world's possible end.

The plot is very much about the growth of characters and to start building up ...

Mixed Feelings

A Returner's Magic Should Be Special — Tell me why manhwa series like author Chugong's Solo Levelling get all the hype with next season's much anticipated anime adaptation, rather than this "special" show that frankly (and really) isn't all that special to begin with.

Japan's equivalent of South Korea's manhwa (or Webtoons as we simply call them today), the material has made headwaves in its own country for decades, so much so that its industry has effectively blown up in the same way that we now experience Japanese manga for authors to pursue fame and fortune. For every piece of the genre pie that we can ...

This is a disappointing adaptation, so much so that I felt inclined to write my first review.

The animation is clunky, there’s endless dead time and still frames, with several key details altered or completely discarded from the source material. I genuinely struggle to find anything redeemable from an adaptation perspective.

The fact that they skimmed over 10 chapters of plot and world building in a 30 second montage at the end of the last episode was especially painful.

The only reason I don’t rate it lower is due to the source material.
If this was my first encounter with the series, I probably would’ve dropped it by ...
