Wizard Re-watch Marathon. I'm currently at episode 19 and... one of the major problems of Wizard is definitely timing. The show tells so much major plot details in the first three episodes that we have a streak of 14 episodes with NOTHING relevant happening. Then Beast appears and the show starts suffering from Inoue-syndrome, because most of the awkwardness of Beast's debut just comes from Nitoh and Haruto not being able to properly comminucate. Then somehow they do start talking to each other (and Beast never asks why Haruto doesn't have to devour magic energy to survive) but work against each other and suddenly Haruto uses water dragon and... whatever happens. In the middle of all the chaos Gremlin appears and gives Koyomi a new magic stone (with Koyomi suddenly effectively sensing Phantoms again, which she hardly ever uses to actually help out) and he makes some remarks on how she is a doll. But Koyomi doesn't even question what he says/how he knows because... yeah, why actually?

The writing in this show is such a mess. It's like Wizard is a showcase of wasted potential. *sigh* I like Beast's backstory, but it's hard to take it serious when the character is a lame comic relief.
