I can't actually believe that people are giving this anime such high score. I mean seriously!!
The art is awful, especially since there where way better art styles than this in the 2000s.
The animation is butchered and some time there are huge mistakes in how the characters move.
The story is a big empty nothing full of plot holes and we see character development in only one character, Sheila. Also if there is comedy in there I can't find it!!
The sound I suppose is not that bad but it doesn't save anything.
Over all to anybody coming to this anime to see an isekai or mahou shoujo anime I advice TO TURN BACK AND SEARCH for something else!!!!

Tweeny Witches (or Mahou Shoujo-tai Arisu for Japano-philes) involves female lead Arisu being whisked away to a magical world where witches make use of sprites to maintain the magic of their realm. In spite of her human origins, Arisu finds that she too can make use of magic in the realm and becomes acquainted with witch apprentices, Eva and Sheila, as she learns more of the world's workings.
At a glance, Tweeny Witches sports nothing groundbreaking in regards to its premise and characters. The focus on a magical world with witches is inspired from Western lore and the series is rather predictable in its plot developments with Arisu's trio tasked with retrieving the sprites they lost, gradually learning to bond with one another, and eventually coming across an enemy threat to the witch's…

I see what they were trying to do; that's why it pains me even more to give it such a bad grade.
The Good things:
Concept:
The concept was great: a human girl who wants to be a witch falls into the witch realm, and finds it different then what she was dreaming of.
In theory a great start, yeah? I'll tell you where it went wrong at "the bad things".
The art, holy-moly the art was fantastic. It was refreshing, almost realistic, but not off-putting. It seemed to have come directly from a colorful web-comic like W.I.T.C.H. (but with even better art). There are so many wonderful designs for objects solely used by witches (the dog-chest, the dragon-house etc.).
The only thing that was off-putting were the facial-expressions sometimes. They picked the weirdest times to show off their skills…

I wanted to start my reviews on my anime list with an anime that is not popular and not very well known. After seeing “Tai Asuru” or “Tweeny Witches”, I was kind of surprise of the quality of this show when the only thing that makes me curious to see it was the picture. The synopsis was normal, nothing promising. I mean, it seems like a synopsis of “Alice in Wonderland”, so nothing original at all. Also, the average note of the anime isn’t high. At least, the people that have taking the time to review it have an average between 8 and 9, so, I was not totally thinking that it will be bad.
The picture represents very well what kind of anime this show is. Yes, it will be a big roller coaster ride, a pretty chaotic one.

It’s an anime that is very fast paced. In fact, the only other…

WARNING: You will embark on a epic journey of magic and adventure with 3 girls who are on a mission to make people happy with the power of magic.
Past all the violent/serious/comedy/adventure animes i have watched in my life i have never watched anything with fantasy/magic in it before... So i found this and decided to give it a try. The anime itself is for a younger audience indeed, But im 20 years old and male and its not stopping me from loving the show.
I don't have to much to say other then "I RECOMMEND IT" To anyone who want to see magic/fantasy/adventure.
But regardless of that "i recommend it" to anyone who want to see an actually good anime if you don't have anything else that you are interested in or cant find anything.
That's it....

Mahou Shoujo Tai
Story:
The story takes place from the perspective of Alice, a girl that is in love with the idea of magic living in a unmagical human world, with the help of a mysterious magical book that her father had given to her, she mysteriously enters the realm of the witches. Suddenly, Alice found herself being in the forest she had never seen and
being stared at by a creature looked like a fairly. Then, a witch on a
broom came and attacked her. She and the fairly ran away not knowing why.
Until that morning, she used to be a normal girl, and she was in her
class listening to the teacher speaking with only half an ear.
She must have been only an eleven-year-old girl, who opened the book
titled "A book that makes you a witch", which had been given by her
father, and imagined…

Mahou Shoujo Tai Arusu (Magical Girl Squad Arusu, or "Tweeny Witches" in the dub) is a fairly enjoyable fantasy witch show.
The show takes place in the Magic Realm, opposite the Human Realm from which the main character obviously arrives. Being the oddball idealist that she is, Arusu, the human newcomer, manages to get away with destroying the tradition of the magic realm and disrupting what the witches would deem normal by using her enthusiasm and optimism to assure everybody that magic exists to make people happy. Magic is not a tool of war, and war will eventually lead to destruction, despite the ideals that the higher-up witches hold in high regard.
It can't be said that the plot is unpredictable, but each episode is short (at ten minutes) and keeps the viewer on their toes as to wha…

This is truly an anime for children and young teens and, perhaps, a little more so for girls. Like every good children's artwork, it also holds appeal for a much larger (and older) audience. Unlike others series aimed at the same public, there is nothing done here to satisfy male-chauvinist fantasies and that is a very welcome change. Everything in this anime breathes honesty. The only flaws are, perhaps, a little over-ambitiousness and, sometimes, a slight lack of clarity. Alll this being said, "Young Witch Squad Alice" remains, in my opinion, an absolute must-see anime and I shall try, in this review, to explain why I came to this conclusion.
Story: 9/10
The story has a plot somewhat inspired by Lewis Carrol's book (hence the name of the main character, no doubt) but does not have the s…

Mahou Shoujo Tai Arusu is one of those animes where the storyline can, for the most part keep you intriged and wanting the next episode, as each small episode ends in a cliff hanger for the most part. The story overall in itself is genius, and except for a few things is very likable. So, what isn't likable about the storyline?
The thing about Mahou Shoujo Tai Arusu is that it likes to slam the reader over the head with 'ideas'. For example, there are messages that become apparent in some of the episodes. One is that we depend to much on technollogy. The other is that evoulution is true, which might upset people who either refuse to believe it, or hate it when it isn't treated like a theory.
And the overall theme is peace instead of violence. The problem with this message, is h…

Brilliantly rendered with unique style and brimming with boundless imagination, Mahou Shoujo Tai Arisu (Magical Girl Squad Alice for the non-weeaboo among us), is a charming anime about a girl who loves magic, who falls into a realm where it is a tool of oppression and warfare. An adventure in the truest sense of the word: a journey to strange new land, and an exploration of the human heart, through challenge and trial. The show is fun to the very core, and its fictional landscape is well-realised in all its peculiar glory, but it also has some very strong dramatic moments, and some dark/mature themes, which is what ultimately makes it so compelling. Its quirky characters befit the experimental feel of the show in general, especially the protagonist, Alice, who is simply an absolute joy to…
