I started Irregular at magic school. I'm surprised how good it is and how well it holds up in spite of the trend and decline of magic high school harems, given that people often reference this as the one that set off the trend.

I haven't actually seen many of these magic high school harems, but I most appreciate that this one is not lazy, and its effects are huge. It makes what are technically cliches feel natural/original. It does everything with just the right amount or tact, that the tropes don't feel foreseeable or forced. There's just a right amount of technobabble so that it's interesting, has some semblance of being sensible, and doesn't feel like exposition.

The other big factor is that the pacing is tight so far. Things happen, characters are characterized well, and episodes lead right into each other.

Yea, it's no wonder why there were so many clones of this kind of show. Too bad they only copied premise and not traits that make a good show.
