In reality the only valid answer is NO!!! This was painful to watch. Do yourself a favor, RUN!! don't walk away from this anime.
I divide anime into storytelling and presentation. Presentation being the visual artwork, the music, and voice acting. The presentation for night wizard was meh at best. The art is on the crude and poorly done side. Generic character design and low detail backgrounds and literally nothing special. The music is uninteresting. The only saving grace is the voice acting which is well done, especially Renji who really hits the right notes.

This show is something that can't be described in simple terms like bad, appalling, horrible, or shouldn't have been made; the word art is the only one that accurately puts night wizard into words. Between the horribly cliched plot and terribly forgettable characters and that chimney gun that's also a rocket I can only come to the conclusion that a true artist attempting to create the most terrible garbage around thought up this idea and couldn't resist in much the same way as sheryl nome said in macross frontier that singers, pilots, and actors can't help but do what they love, a cancerous artist can't help but make shit.
The most confounding part of this whole series which also happens to be my favorite is the LEGENDARY HAWAWA! I mean what is this why haven't I heard it before and why…

It's a mastaaapiece!! This show has no equal. It really is just incredible how daring and innovative, pushing the boundaries of the action genre to the limit with mind blowing animation and incredibly fluid transitions. The voice acting is top tier as well.
The show is so good it's a mix of Little Witch Academia, Transformers, Re:Zero, TsukaTsuka, and of course Auschwitz.... and I forgot to mention Boku no Pico.
Hawawawawawa?
Hawawawawawa.
Nah, for real though this show is terrible, but it's so bad you have to watch it. It's absolutely hilarious how bad it is. Watching this with a friend is an absolute blast. I haven't laughed this hard in a longgggg time. Sooo yeah a it's a 9/11... Which explains all the Illuminati references.

Laohoam- This anime came at a coincidentally bad timing. after finishing an anime that started off somewhat similar to this one and it made me slightly doubt it. After a few episodes it is easy to differentiate them, and I have to say that this one is a lot better then it. The plot is developed well enough that if you stick with it you will get a nice connection between the characters, and how they develop throughout the story. At first I thought it would be somewhat predictable as well, even as far as to make predictions on how it would end, I was wrong there is a major twist in the plot that will leave you completely shocked. All in all though I would recommend this anime, though its not the greatest it is still a good watch.

Honestly Night Wizard is one of those anime that just fades from memory and becomes extremely obscure. There really isn't much in this show that is unique and really the only reason I even kept watching it instead of dropping it halfway through was because of the main character, Elis, who I just found really enjoyable to watch. Aside from her and the plot twist that happens around episode 9 and 10, the rest of this show is pretty much your stereotypical "gather the items and save the world" action-fantasy show.
Story - 7/10
It's not really that boring of a plot to have to go and collect all of a certain kind of mystical items, but it's not very creative and has been done better. Still I will mention one thing that is really keeping this plot from being rated much lower: the ending is goo…

Alright this is my first review I have done while being apart of this site. This anime is about magic, with the characters of Higarii, Elis, Akari, and Kureha. In my opinion i thought it was good I like anime like this with magic involved. If your looking for a simple plot anime with magic this is it. The reason for me disliking it is simple, the anime was too short in my opinion and needs a second season. I liked the characters they all had different personalities. So as I mentioned if you like Anime and magic in a combination, then this is for you. :-)

Well, I can summarize Night Wizard in one sentence: It's not bad enough so that you won't be able to watch til the end.
The story is full of cliches, but it's amusing enough to take you to the end. The whole "let's collect stuff to save the world" is nothing new and it's even less original the way is presented here. One thing I liked is that they didn't take until the last episode to collect all the jewels.
The art is really simple. It's not crappy but it's miles away from being good. There'll be no surprises there, then.
The soundtrack is really bad, it sometimes feels out of place and it sounded really repetitive to me.
The characters, oh, the characters. Absolute cliches, no development at all. They're just bad, that's all. There's not even one enjoyable character in this series. An…

I originally started watching this anime because I had considered buying the role-playing game it was based on but opted for a different rpg from the same company instead. As far as I know it’s also one of the few, or possibly only, anime series based directly on a p&p RPG. I have to say I was rather disappointed with it at first, though the second half of the series really picks up and the last few episodes are cool. That’s not to say that the first few episodes were bad, they weren’t it’s just for some reason it didn’t click with me. Watching it was like being told a joke that you know is funny but that just doesn’t make you laugh. Have to say, the world settings pretty cool and I’m strongly thinking about importing the 2nd edition corebook.

I would say that the first half of this anime is a little boring but as the series advances it starts getting more interesting. I think the artwork is actually quite nice and I also enjoyed the music in the last episode. In the end I enjoyed this anime more than what I had originaly expected and I hope you do too.

This show started off looking deceptively simple -- bright colors, attractive character models, adventures and power-ups. After a few episodes I thought it had been written by some serious fiction addicts who were just immersed in books and TV and who wanted to throw in homages to classic adventure stories (e.g. Classic Star Trek and the Six Million Dollar Man, not to mention a lot of movies and books).
As the story progressed, it kept me guessing. The pacing was surprisingly subtle and the plot kept surprising me. After the half-way point, the "save the world" theme was feeling less like a cheesy James Bond plot (e.g. prevent Blofeld from firing a nuclear missile) and more like an epic story (e.g. "Lord of the Rings").

It does seem to drag for only 13 eps, but near the end is a twist that will shock you enough to change your opinion of the show.

i liked the whole magic thing and the battles seemed to have a lot of action. the only thing that bugs me is that i didnt get to know the secret which the girl threatened to reveal whenever the guy didnt want to do something. overall its a decent show that u can watch as u wait for the new episodes of ur favorite anime to be released.

Night Wizard in no way a great anime. But it somehow ended up as one of my favorites and for one little reason: it's so simple. The plot is a straight forward one that is reminiscent of older anime where Yandere characters were but a far, far away thing and loli was not a genre of anime. Where it was the hero versus the bad guy on a mystical quest. Night Wizard is exactly that.
The art in Night Wizard, although sometimes inconsistent (although quite rarely), is very nice. While the character designs are somewhat generic, they are done nicely and with style so that you can get over the generic feel that accompanies them. The opening sequence is very simple and the song (sung by the wonderful Seiyuu who plays the main female character, Shihou Elis) isn't too bad either. The ending sequence…
