Majutsushi Kunon wa Mieteiru [Season 1 Episode 4]

Alright, let’s talk about Majutsushi Kunon wa Mieteiru Episode 4—because honestly, this show’s been a bit of a surprise for me, and this latest episode just cranked up the fun factor. First off, if you’re not caught up: Kunon’s this blind sorcerer kid who’s dead-set on using water magic to make himself eyes. Yeah, it sounds wild, but that’s the whole hook, right?

So, Episode 4. Let’s start with the big highlight—Resha. Oh my gosh, Resha. Where did this girl come from? She’s got more personality in her pinky than Mirika (Kunon’s usual sidekick) has in her entire body. Fans on MyAnimeList were losing it over her, and I get why. She’s chaotic, she’s funny, and she just fits with Kunon’s vibe way better. Like, when she dragged him into that magic duel? Pure comedy gold. And can we talk about that Garou slide reference? Someone in the comments pointed that out, and now I can’t unsee it—Kunon totally channeled his inner monster hunter for a second there.

But it wasn’t all jokes. Kunon’s dad dropped a real banger of a line this episode. Remember when he said, “With great power comes great responsibility”? Wait, no—wait, actually, it was something about not letting power go to his head, but let’s be real, it was basically the Spider-Man speech. And you know what? It worked. For a show that’s mostly lighthearted, that moment felt genuine. Kunon’s been so focused on his goal that he sometimes forgets the people around him, and his dad’s scolding was a nice reality check.

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: the animation. Yeah, it’s… not great. The horses at the start? They looked like they were gliding on ice, not running. But here’s the thing—does it matter? The characters are so likable that I found myself grinning through most of the episode anyway. One commenter put it perfectly: “Animation is not great, but the characters are very likeable, I smile a lot during the episode.” Same here. Kunon’s dad is a total mood—equal parts strict and goofy—and the royal sorcerers? Refreshingly not snobby. In most fantasy shows, nobles are all “I’m better than you,” but these guys were just… chill. That’s a win in my book.

But wait, there were some mixed feelings too. A few people were ready to drop the show after this episode. One user said, “One of my new years resolutions is to stop watching things that don’t move me. As funny and cute as this show is there are too many shows that I want to see.” I get that—Majutsushi Kunon isn’t groundbreaking. It’s not going to win any awards for storytelling. But here’s why I’m sticking around: the magic system.

The show actually dives into how magic works. Like, the difference between creating water and manipulating existing water? That’s the kind of detail you don’t see in a lot of fantasy anime. It’s not just “wave a wand and boom”—there’s thought behind it. And that’s keeping me invested. Even if the animation’s rough, the world-building has depth.

Oh, and can we talk about the lack of Mirika and Maid Iko? Some fans were upset they weren’t in this episode, but honestly? I didn’t miss them. Resha brought so much energy that the episode felt full without them. Maybe that’s a sign the writers are mixing things up, which is always good for a show’s longevity.

So, where does this leave us? Majutsushi Kunon wa Mieteiru Episode 4 was a fun, character-driven installment that balanced humor with heart. It’s not perfect—animation’s a bit wonky, and the plot’s still finding its feet—but it’s got charm. If you’re into lighthearted fantasy with likable characters, this might be your jam. Just don’t go in expecting Studio Ghibli-level visuals, and you’ll have a good time.

Final thought: I’m curious to see where Resha goes from here. Will she stick around? Will Mirika make a comeback? Only time will tell. But for now, I’m along for the ride. And hey—if nothing else, it’s nice to watch a show where the main character’s biggest goal is just… to see. That’s relatable, even if the magic part is a bit out there.

So, yeah—Episode 4 was a solid 7/10 for me. Fun, funny, and just a little bit heartfelt. If you haven’t checked it out yet, give it a shot. You might be surprised. And if you have? Let me know what you thought—Resha fan club, assemble! 🎉
