Plots(1)
“Blaze”, a weapon that you create by materializing your own soul using super-fortified spiritual powers. At Koryo Academy, a school that teaches combat skills to those who were born with aptitude for “Blaze” (said to be one in a thousand), students use a partnership system called “Duo” to tie a bond, and heighten each other’s souls. Now, the curtain rises on the story of Tor Kokonoe, an “Irregular” boy whose “Blaze” took the form of a “Shield”- an armor instead of a weapon, and Julie Sigtuna, a girl with silver hair. A school battle action that grasps the future with the bonds to your partner! (Crunchyroll)

I agree that the main male protagonist and the plot, in general, are a very boring retread of things we have seen a million times before. Likewise, I can subscribe to the statement that the animation is nothing spectacular, albeit inoffensive. I think the soundtrack is also pretty much flawless, and the opening is pretty good. However, as for the terrible dubbing, I did not notice that with my good hearing, and I thought the dialogues were OK. And so I cannot even agree with the final rating as BOO! because I believe it is still watchable with the caveat that I think it is boring. Because it is nothing new, I think it deserves one star although I will award it two; I guess you want to know why? Well, it is because of Julia. Characters who are strange, somehow emotionless, and give the impression that someone has to take care of them, so the viewer has sympathy for them, manage to wrap me around their finger and keep me intrigued. Plus, I found her endearing "Yā“ and "Nai" quite charming as well. Of course, once again, it is nothing new, and there have been a huge number of such twisted clueless little girls in anime series. The creators of Shiro from No Game No Life and Mashiro from The Pet Girl of Sakurasou perfected this type of character. However, I have not gotten over these little girls yet. So I will award this show two stars, even if they are very weak.
