The review finds the premiere uncomfortable, citing frequent upskirting, a friend who sexually harasses the lead, and a scene where Spica offers her body in exchange for magic. The reviewer says the comedy relies on sexual stunners instead of the weird magic that could make the show distinct. A late sequence where Spica proves herself does not salvage the episode.","whyItMatters":"The review signals that the adaptation leans harder on fan service than on the fantasy premise, which may alienate viewers who came for the magic-academy setup.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe first episode of The Classroom of a Black Cat and a Witch arrived this month as a half-year series on the Agaru Anime block. The premise is a magic-academy fantasy: Spica Virgo cannot use magic, so she forms a pact with a cursed mage who is now a black cat. Early promotional material played up the clumsy-witch-meets-sassy-familiar dynamic. But the premiere, according to Anime Feminist, foregrounds upskirting and sexual harassment over the fantasy elements. The review describes the comedy as dead on arrival and says the show loses any goodwill it builds in a more serious second half. For a series positioned as a light romantic comedy, the tone is already a point of friction.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Anime Feminist reviewed the first episode of The Classroom of a Black Cat and a Witch.
