I'm dropping this. Might have as well done it after the first ep, but this second one convinced me. I dislike the main character, who is of the type speaking grandly yet failing to finish what he started (in his social interactions, not fights). He's missing something essential and obvious in his social skills. Only the fact he's associating with other weirdos allows him to pull through.

It might seem like a wothless detail, but I was also annoyed by Lapis's activation line for her hallmark magic. Those lines worked very nicely in Shana because the atmosphere, or lore, was heavily build around such things, but here it came out of nowhere and sounded exactly like it was shamelessly copied from elsewhere. Actually I also didn't care for how the necromancer summoned an ancient hero, who was a technologized copy of Saber. Such more or less direct references can be nice when they are used in other quality shows, but when they are used in a shitty show like this, they are insulting.
