Is this just a poor mash up of these series?

Still better than Mashle. ( it's my opinion)
My mal account is not working properly. In the last 24 hours, there isn't showing any forum discussion.  What should I do?!

Mc reminds me of Shiba Tatsuya from Irregular at Magic High School (which imo is extremely better).
I havent watched the anime for Mashle yet but I dont really see the comparison to Mashle manga, besides both of them being a magic school, which reminds me more of Harry Potter.
I don't see the comparison to Seven Deadly Sins either.
Haven't watched Trinity Seven

the manga mashle started in 2020 while the light novel of this started in 2017 so you argument concerning mashle is not valid. plus i don't see where do you come from for that comparaison since the only thing they have in common is a magic school, the two world function very differently imo

You are going to have to at least attempt to explain where the similarity to seven deadly sins is. It is also not a parody/comedy like mashle.

Yes, but I still enjoyed the 2 eps that came out. I also wanted to watch an anime like Mashle but without the goofy humour. So this fits right up that alley

I have read the first 8 volumes of the LN., have not watched any episodes of the anime yet

Not really, Oliver is not overpowered, he nearly died multiple times.

It is more like Harry Potter + Made In Abyss + Berserk.

Hope this answers your question~

Yes this is complete generic trash. Only the fanbois will blindly defend this anime.

Not really, no.

- Mashle is a comedy that takes the trops of the genre and play them for lulz. It being funny or not will depend of the person, I won't judge here.

- Nanaken takes the tropes of the genre, appears at first glance to follow them seriously, just to go in a completely surprising directions all the time rather than following them. And those directions actually makes sense in universe, and make for a pretty unique world building to set up the stage for the main story. Obviously most anime fans watching it won't like that since most peoples watching this show actually LIKE those magic school tropes. Those that would have liked it mostly either avoided it thinking it was ust another example of the same super tropy genre, or at best watched the beginning, confirmed the tropes were here, and just left. Peoples who enjoy seeing tropes being deconstructed in interesting ways are having a field day with the show though, so depending of which side you are your opinion on it will be veeery different.

TBH I think the word "deconstructed" is overused. My pet peeve. :)

Just wondering are there really that many magic school tropes? It's not like there is a ton of those stories out there compared to, say, superhero stories.

I watched Trinity Seven ( including most of the movies ) and this is nothing like trinity seven as far as i remember. This is just Harry Potter partly mixed with Asian Culture. (I am not saying its same quality as Harry Potter or better/worse than it but this is the best way to explain)

Well "Trinity seven" the TV series sucked.
The "Seven Deadly sins" was overall MID.
Finally "Mashle" was a parody/comedy, which subjectively doesn't appeal to me.
While this show, while the quality of the visuals was poor, the storytelling was good. I would put it on the same level or a little below "Seven Deadly sins".
