Currently Watching｜Anime Episodes 1 & 2 of "Magic of Compound Interest: Recouping Borrowed Magic"

All screenshots are from the OP~ I didn't originally have this on my list, but GPT suggested it, so I decided to watch it 😆 The story is about Lent, who has the ability to lend out magic, providing it to his teammates for a long time, but he gets exiled from the team because he's deemed to have no combat ability. What shocked me the most was that two of his teammates, who grew up with Lent since childhood, completely disregarded their past relationship and banished him. I really want to see them regret it later 🤣 The ending of the first episode left me hanging in a way that made me want to see more, and after watching, I felt this series was perfect for airing two episodes at once! Although the second episode started with some new developments, the overall pacing felt a bit slow. However, the little fairy that appeared left a strong impression on me; despite her cute appearance, she was surprisingly sharp-tongued, which was an interesting contrast 😆 Also, when Lent first appeared holding a piggy bank 🐖, I thought it was a special item that came with his ability, but it turned out he brought it from home to use as a medium for borrowing and returning magic, which I found strangely cute 😆 While "exile tropes" seem common, I haven't encountered many such works before, and I don't mind familiar plots, so it didn't feel cliché to me. If you're someone who minds "another exile story," you might want to reconsider~ Currently, I hope Lent becomes a bit more decisive soon, and I'm looking forward to the heroine's appearance to bring a different atmosphere to the story! It's not at a level where I'm extremely hyped for the next episode yet, but I'm still interested in continuing to watch, and I hope it gets more exciting from here on out 😁
