For me this anime is one the most underrated animes oat its Beautiful and funny and dramatic It got me excited after every episode the animation is good the story is good the characters exempt the main one is good
I didn't like the main character because hes so hesitant and It is easy for him to lose confidence in himself but i like the way he was trying to protect his gf and by speaking about his gf oh shit its one of my favorite waifu she's georges and confident and loyal for her love one
This anime is really really good snd idk why is not that popular and for someone how watch anime but not that much i give it a 8/10
I would give it 9 but some unnecessary Relations like the main character mom and his gf mom was mor like gay shit to me

It’s amazing how a show with such an interesting premise could turn out to be so boring. I watched this show because I remember reading the manga and liking it, but now that I think about it, I can’t recall what happened in that manga at all.
Pros:
- The art and animation. There’s a lot of beautiful scenery and background, especially in the latter half of the show, and there is good animation as well, the magic, certain battles, as well as many flying scenes. There is some CGI but I don’t think it detracts from the show at all and is fairly well done.
Mixed:
- Our main duo. Takamiya and Kagari do make for a pretty cute pair, the damsel in distress and his knight respectively if you were to simplify it. Plot spoilers aside, you’re set up well to be invested in them, both their relationshi…

Guilty pleasure - is an oxymoron to me. I’ve just learned to take the bad with the good. While a show on one hand can be one of the most intrinsically esoteric works Japan has put out in a decade, that doesn’t stop me from being aware that at times it becomes a narrative cluster brimming with melodrama. Meanwhile, I’m sure we all know a few certain films and series in this medium that are tearjerkers but when broken down logistically aren’t exactly that great. I think that we should love biases and embrace them, it’s what makes us individuals. This notion in my experience on this site does not really exist.
People slammed for liking or disliking something by those who feel differently with blind passion, death threats, just look at some comment sections of people who have disfavorable opi…

ill first state that this is a comedy anime no idea why it isnt tagged that but it has comedy for sure
Story: so the story pretty much starts with Honoka living a normal life and this girl Ayaka saves him after a school building is falling on him which it turns out that Ayaka is a witch and the reason she has been around him so much on the bus and also sitting next too him in class was too protect but its her duty per say wont spoil anything else out but that's the most of the 1st episode right there
Art: art was very good nothing bad about it
Sound: was very good loved the OP and the ED ill so be getting the song for those everything else was pretty good with sound
Character: i guess alot of people complain that the main character Honoka is kinda of a annoying honestly he wasnt too me…

"Witch Craft Works" manages to take a few cliches/average plots (weak main male characters surrounded by strong women, some harem, good and evil fighting for the main character because they have immense power they have no idea about, etc) and not completely beat them to death. In fact, they played around with their boundaries, breathed new life into them and all the while told a pretty good story along the way.
However, I truly think this show could have benefited from a few more episodes to allow for more development and storytelling, but I think it did well for the small period it had to cover everything. Very little was left unexplained but the full background to Kagari and Takimaya's relationship was cut short and never finished which is rather disappointing. But I also have to commen…

For an anime that has a lot of characters for a one season series, the focus is quite firmly on Takamiya Honoka (one of only two males in the series, not that I'm complaining) and Kagari Ayaka, the main characters and practically the heroes of the series, the good guys you're supposed to root for. The story, full of mystery and the unknown at first, progressed nicely for the first 8 episodes, then I lost track of who wanted what and had to ask my younger brother for clarification, which was a bit humbling. The series didn't have much variety to the humor it brought to the episodes, but Kuraishi Tanpopo's karaoke was a blast to watch. The voice actress of Kuraishi, well chosen for her part, gave a sidesplitting performance. It was a scene that I watched again and again, and bolstered the ra…

I first encountered Witch Craft a few years back on a certain manga site. To my delight, last year it had an animation. It’s been my principle to NOT watch on-going shows, so I’m always late on what’s happening. You see, I just don’t like being left with cliff hangers. Anyway, let’s get on with my ever-so-late review.
Story: 7
With all honesty, I find Witch Craft’s plot very similar with a lot of seinen series out there. And when I mean similar, It’s your average hi-I’m-the-protagonist-who’s-a-normal-student-who-gets-joined-up-with-a-pretty-complicated-situation. Don’t get me wrong, though! It is not a bad thing. I mean, there are no two exact same things in this world, except zubats and dugtrios in a cave. Kidding aside, like I’ve said before, Witch Craft’s plot isn’t that unique.

The art style of the anime is... rather silly. Like seriously, who creates giant pink teddybears with a summoning spell?!
Anyways the story and the characters are amazing! This anime is exactly what happens when you have a standard shonen/sword&sorcery anime, where you swap genders. To top it off, the boy who always needs the saving is even called Princess!
It gets very funny and the fights are not bad either. I like how they are deliberately making fun of the "enemy" witches. Remember Team Rocket from Pokemon? Kinda like that. Other than that, the anime should likes to make fun of out little "princess". In your typical "damsel in distress" story this time the boy is the one who needs the saving all the time.
Kagura, the other main character, is your hero from your shonen manga, but yet…

I could not wait to write a review for this garbage can. I will eviscerate this pile of crap and hopefully you will avoid at all costs. Unless of course you're a masochist.
I'll get to the point. The main character is one of the most pathetic, sniveling, whiny, weak, pieces of crap i have bore witness to. Not once does he man up, and the only time he does something actually somewhat noble, he's crying throughout. For example, one character is dying, all he has to do is kiss the character to ressurect the character. He decided to snivel and cry and whine for about 5 minutes.
There's a point at which the pathetic-ness of a character reaches a point that you stop caring, usually i would have turned it off except I felt a payoff was due, i sat through over half of it, i was going to see it…

It`s somewhat rare nowadays that I stumble across an anime that isn`t based on some sort of manga, visual novel, video game, book, etc. Most anime of the late years have taken up this trend of creating an animation for ideas and plots that already exist.
This is not to say that anything`s wrong with that. Anime, of course, is another way to create a larger fanbase of the original thing or idea the anime was created upon. Some anime are created which crash and burn compared to the original product, while others soar above the sales of what was originally being advertised. There are some anime, or some gems, rather, which are looked over quite quickly, and never become as popular as they should. While these specific gems aren`t perfect, they aren`t incredibly terrible either. Not every gem…

This is a show which I thought would kind of separate from other mediocre shows with bland characters, bland plot, and uninspired animation. I was kind of right in watching this show.
Let me first start out with the plot.
The story is not too bad. really. It's not, but it's not a gem either. To summarize... Some bountiful white bitch who refers to him as "himesama" or "princess" must protect him from this group of witches.. who have animal ears.. and stuff. That is pretty much the only distinction between them and the friendly witch group who is supposed to protect the main character.
stuff happens, main characters gets attacked, and the hime to the himesama saves the day once again. Woopdeedoo! Why should I care? Once again, we are not informed of this strong power inside of this main…

Witch Craft Works is honestly a hard anime to review in my opinion. It contains a lot of cliches, standard anime stock characters, and has moments when 3D CGI is used to help stretch the animation budget. The 12 episodes cover a good bit of story but when the ride is over it feels a bit overwhelming as a whole, yet I highly enjoyed WCW. Is it because I expected this to be another run of the mill harem anime and turned out to be a quirky fantasy romance? That I can't truly say.
What I can say about WCW is this: it's fun. While a majority of characters are the usual recycled stock characters, they have enough spice to them to keep them all interesting and they all work extremely well together which is something that a few too many anime fails to work out. The animation excluding the meh CGI…

This series is a very different, unique type of series! It didn't turn into a harem-like series like I originally though it was going to. The story is pretty unique in its own right, but I don't think it had enough time to develop fully or to its fullest being just 12 eps long. The characters mesh together very well, and there wasn't that traditional relationship that usually exists between the lead male and female characters within the plot. The animation was pretty superb. Overall, this series was very enjoyable and I hope to see a season 2! If you are looking for something that is fairly unique, and has a story that will draw you in...This should be on your list!

when your school number 1 beauty comes and sits next to you, saves you and tells you she`s a witch! what would any reasonable person do at that moment... denial
story:
Now i believe this story has its great points and its flaws. For one i believe a lot of cliché situation were used on this serie as a method of comedy relief. Don`t get me wrong i really enjoyed the occasional joke and i laughed at this serie plenty of times myself, however i believe some of them were a little to obvious.
The plot of this serie however I loved. I like how it was the typical story (guy appears normal but has a secret power) but with a twist,putting focus not only to the main character but the situation around him, the witches.

The art in this serie was pretty good, simple but efficient not to mention…

Witch Craft Works (WCW) was something of a dark horse for me. I was neither expecting to watch it, or even think that I would enjoy it once I actually started. Time, as it seems, has proven me wrong in both regards.
Story: 6
The story to WCW is simple and not very complex, and is by no means the strong suit to this magic-endowed action/comedy. However, it is paced well enough, and crafted well enough to get you drawn in to what might happen next.
Art: 8 The artistic part to WCW is easily one of the noticeably better parts to this anime, with well-designed backgrounds, character designs, effects and 3D animated inserts that don't look like a kitten thrown in a lion's den. Most of the backgrounds are strikingly beautiful, while others are rather plain, but all of the art fits well and…

An anime where the villains are more entertaining to watch than the main cast, Witch Craft Works takes pages from Pokemon and does it better than Team Rocket.
Story: 7
In a world with two warring witch guilds, the Workshop Witches and the more evil Tower Witches, our main hero is to be protected by a very strong Workshop Witch. The typical story of a powerless protagonist to become a strong hero is overdone and things that happen throughout this story are standard to the plot of a rising hero. There are parts where I was confused on contracts and such, but this comes more from my dislike of reading contracts and how a contract could contradict another contract or how establishing a contract can make one null and void. Reasons why I never will be a lawyer.
Though I have said that the plo…

Magic exists. Maybe it doesn’t in real life but it’s a phenomenal power of curiosity that exists in the world of Witch Craft Works. It’s not natural because people can’t just be born with it. However, it is like an essence that becomes infused with the show itself. For our normal male protagonist, Takamiya Honoka, his typical life will never be the same again after coming head to head with magic.
As a series based on fantasy with supernatural elements, expect several attributes that defines this anime: magic, witchcraft, and competence. Well to be perfectly honest, Witch Craft Works shouldn’t be judged by its merits of premise. There’s nothing distinctive about it. We have the normal boy, Takamiya Honoka who meets the idol (queen or princess as referred by others) at school known to many…

Witch Craft Works! An anime about witches and stuff. An average anime with cliché characters and not much of a plot. Even though I say that, it was still an enjoyable watch. With outstanding animation and the great OST, WCW was a nice 12-ep anime which was pretty funny with it's catchy ending song.
Story. 7
The story is about a normal boy, going to school as always, but then one day the schools most popular girl starts to interact with him. After getting to know her, he learns of her identity as a witch. She tells him about the special "being" inside of him and starts to protect him from danger.
The story is pretty simple in the beginning, but after a while it gets a little better but it's not anything special. There are pretty cool fights sometimes but they don't really go in dept with…

Recently, magical school anime seem to be very popular. Witch Craft Works is not much different, except it has magicians attending school alongside non-magical people. Our main protagonist, Takamiya, at first doesn't know about any of this. He just keeps to himself and avoids getting involved with people until the most popular girl, Kagari also known as Hime (princess), forcefully gets involved in his high school life. It turns out that Takamiya actually has vast magical potential hidden inside of him that evil witches want and would kill him to obtain, so Kagari (who is a witch) must protect him. And she does an excellent job of protecting him considering she's an extremely overpowered magician with fire magic that can instantly obliterate half a city. Too bad her personality isn't as int…
