Review: Mighty Magiswords “Quest for Knowledge ”

Knowledge is power.

Overview (Possible Spoilers Below)

As a direct continuation of School’s In, Oh Bummer! the Warrior Siblings Vambre and Prohyas go on a quest to put together a piece of a map Prohyas got his hands on in his youth. But in a big reveal, their diverse group of old classmates also partake in this quest for the “Legendary Knowledge Magisword” and each of them having the other pieces of the map, but it’s not without obstacles as the other classmates also want this specific Magisword for their own personal goals in combination the borderline psychotic Fangirl known as “Glori” also causing chaos for the sake of getting the sword herself.

Our Take

The first half of the episode before it gets anywhere, tells us the origin stories of the two siblings along with explaining Vambre’s unusual clothing choice of why she wears bare-legged outfits, and even tell us the events that shaped their childhoods which explains their love for Magiswords as a whole and what motivated them to join the “Adventure Academy”.

As they continue their quest with the main location of this Magisword being within their old school, Its nearly every character for themselves with Glori systematically picking them off with well-placed acts of sabotage, but you do later understand why the Warrior siblings want nothing to do with Glori after a past episode where she went from obsessive fangirl to stalker.

The humor as usual moves at a brisk pace and embraces it’s randomness, but given the quest they’re all on, there’s a sense of urgency of them getting their hands on this sword while revealing random things here and there about the other diverse group of characters, We even learn Morbidia has a crush on somebody named “Franchesco” but whether or not they’ll touch upon this in a future episode.

For a half-hour Season Finale, The story was effectively told, and while you do learn what the “Knowledge Magisword” is actually capable of, The ending also gives a lot of promise for what to expect in another potential season as they now have more Magiswords near the end, but whether or not we’ll learn what each of these yet to be introduced Magiswords do, remains to be seen in the next season.
