im not sure if there is or will be there a third part, but i have 0 intentions to watch it. In this anime we had 12 chapters without a north. The main character was the old and annoying cliche, a "knows everything" who always has an ace under his sleeve, he always has everything calculated, 0 development or grow, it was like watching Death Note or Doctor house, also the premise was really pooor, etc etc you can easily skip this anime and continue with your life.
The ending of this series, which left me wanting more, but in a bad way. I feel like this story has such an interesting premise, even the writers actually able to pull an cruel world, in a sense. But at the same time, none of the main character has any scratch on them, and that quick, almost abrupt end left a bitter taste in my mouth, like why spend so much time on mundane things when we, as the audience KNOWS you can expand on other things in the story. I don't know, maybe they were shooting for a season three.
There was a theme dissonance between the resolve to allow people hurting themselves and the admiration of strength wield by the common folk. Though I get the intention of emphasizing the idea of educating and giving accessibility for the commoners in order to elevate them instead of hoarding knowledge, the message fell flat when the knowledge has high potential of making people suffer and the teacher does not make contingency of preventing less casualties.
