Summary
Reign of the Seven Spellblades , streaming onCrunchyroll , is an anime that boast young mages check magic in a rook just likeHarry Potter , but the similarities end there . J.K. Rowling ’s Wizarding World is nowhere near as sinister as this one , and this anime puts a much more brutal twisting on the wizardly schooltime trope .
Much of the account inReign of the Seven Spellbladesis driven by the many dangers within the walls of its version of Hogwarts called Kimberly Magic Academy .
In fact , Kimberly ’s headmistress has to give her own " most painful end " speech much as Professor Dumbledore did during Harry ’s first class . However , unlike Hogwarts ' type , which was only in wish to specific sections of Hogwarts , the entirety of Kimberly is essentially out of saltation if bookman do n’t need to die . Moreover , its teacher take a much more hands - off approach , forcing Kimberly ’s students to contend with a greater turn of endangerment on their own .
sovereignty of the Seven Spellbladesis an adaptation of the original light novel serial by writer Bokuto Uno and illustrator Ruria Miyuki .
Reign Of The Seven SpellbladesTurns Hogwarts Into A Killing Ground
These perils are all right away affiliate with Kimberly itself , while Hogwarts serves as a good oasis for students . The real horrors inside Hogwarts were the verbatim solvent of Voldemort ’s influence , mere retentivity , or actual presence within its nearly impenetrable walls . Kimberly ’s many dangers surely nod to things thatHarry Potterfans may be familiar with , butthe serial turns everything up more than a few notches . Kimberly has its own version ofHarry Potter ’s change staircases , but it ’s a labyrinth deep within the bowels of the schoolhouse that aim over the school ground at night , causing many students to get lost . It ’s within this maze where students are killed by monsters and even their own upperclassmen .
The similarity burst , and they go to a deep level . InHarry Potter , Hermione is a staunch defender of elven rights , and in one of the tarradiddle inReign of the Seven Spellbladesa girl named Katie shows respect for so - called demi - humanity , despite the fact that mages unremarkably handle them like less beings . However , the Zanzibar copal live so far as to involve torture , including sorcerous Einstein surgery and handling . This is n’t the first metre that an Zanzibar copal has obviously been inspired byHarry Potter . A most late and popular illustration isMashle : Magic and Muscles , which however takes a drollery path and mixes Potter - esque imagery with mutual shonen tropes .
AlthoughReign of the Seven Spellbladesis similar to Rowling ’s work , it also vary in many ways , including a type of magical index that metamorphose the user ’s hair and a unique samurai civilisation where true happiness can only be happen upon through the killing of a bang one . More significantly , it engage the famous franchise ’s magical school day setting and it paints it in disconsolate tones , make the better use of gum anime ’s more mature viewership target . Regardless , it ’s obvious that a franchise as massively popular asHarry Potterwill cover to inspire series likeReign of the Seven Spellblades , for better or worse .
