LatestWith Takeru gravely injured, Kiseki on a rampage, and Haunted wreaking havoc, Ouka decides to take matters into her own hands.
Set in a world where witches run havoc, the military decides to shift from using sword to utilizing guns to neutralize magical threats. The Anti-Magic Academy is an institution that specializes in training witch hunters. Takeru Kusunagi, who can’t use guns and continues to fight with a sword, is relegated to the 35th Test Platoon, a motley group who can’t cooperate. One day, Ouka Ohtori, an elite pistol master who was forced into demotion, joins the platoon. Will they be able to gather their strengths and work together?
Writing
Actually decent team dynamics hidden under generic premise.
Costume
Character designs commit fully to the 'tactical but make it horny' aesthetic.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The light novel ran for 13 volumes while this anime adapts roughly the first 3—explaining the rushed pacing and unresolved plot threads.
Released during the peak 'magic high school' boom of 2013-2016, this series tried to distinguish itself with gun porn and team structure but got buried under better-funded competitors like 'A Certain Magical Index.'
