This show is hot garbage, but its hot garbage appeals to MY tastes. Which means at the very least, it deserves a fair shot.
The animation is way more decent than I was expecting, considering this was a romance-slop show from 2014 I had never heard of. The action choreography is there on the screen--there are no slideshows, and there are some interesting cinematographic choices made. It’s below a subpar-shounen, sure, but I didn’t hate it. The show makes use of CGI pretty liberally, and while you can always notice it, it wasn’t overtly distracting. The CGI fight choreography is similarly mediocre.
Witch Craft Works is not good. It is self-indulgent male-oriented romance slop. THere are a horde of beautiful waifus, and the prettiest, richest, strongest girl in high school wants to jump y…

Honestly its been a while since a character irritates me as much as this MC, during the entire show he was mostly useless and i understood it was because this was a witch world and he was just a "normal" guy mostly without real powers so it didnt bother me because even without powers he wasnt a coward most of the time, my real problem begins at the end, when he had to be a man, when he had to show bravery, when the life of his most important person was at risk... he pussy out, he couldnt do it because he was embarrassed... i was like "ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS", i could forgive him for everything else but he didnt act when he had to.
And at the end everything fixed itself like nothing happened and had an open ending with nothing actually meaningful happening between the two main character…

NO SPOILERS: My feelings about this show aswell as a rating.
I liked the general premise of this anime, Indeed its quite unique. I haven't rewatched it yet but plan to do so later on - It felt very incomplete
The art style was enjoyable, especially from a show that came out in 2014.
The characters were fine, nothing special, kind of forgettable tbh
I enjoyed it though, you will aswell if you're looking for a nice and generic anime for piece of mind. It isn't also complete as I've heard, there is about 108 chapters and there's barely half of them which have been adapted, quite unfortunate.
Goodluck on your anime adventures,
7/10

5/10- Pretty average. It would be one perfect adjective to describe this anime.
Basic plot of the show is that our male main character is secretely an important figure in the world of witches and is being secretely protected by the most popular girl in the school. 2 types of witches exist- Tower Witches, who are 'evil' and Workshop Witches, who are 'good'. This plot could have been a very solid foundation for the story to build on, but for whatever reason doesn't utilise its full potential. There are people who call this a romcom, but there's not nearly enough romance to call it one.
For the characters, there isn't much to say about any of them except the 2 main characters. They are the ones that go throught some growth, while others remain the same at the end as when they were introduce…

Man, where do I even start? I just finished Witch Craft Works and I'm still reeling from that adorable finale. I know, I know, it's a 2014 anime, but I'm fashionably late to the party.
I'll admit, the premise had me sold - good witches vs. bad witches, magical action, and a dash of romance. The story follows Takamiya, your average high school guy, and Kagari, the school's resident ice queen (literally). What I loved was how the show made both Takamiya and Kagari the main protagonists. It's not just Takamiya's story; Kagari's mysterious past and growth are just as important.
Now, about Kagari's facial expressions - or lack thereof. At first, I thought she was just a beautiful cardboard cutout, but as the series progressed, I started noticing subtle changes. Her stoic demeanor began to cra…

A poor man's Toradora with reversed gender roles meets a poor man's Harry Potter. The result? This thing. Is it good? No. It is enjoyable nonetheless? Sure. It's a pretty shallow rom-com.
For what it's worth, the artwork is very polished. I can tell that a lot of work has been put into making the characters look attractive. Having said that, the actual designs are pretty generic and unimaginative. Furthermore, the series often makes some bizarre choices in terms of color hue. The color palette just looks weird at times.
Regardless, all in all, it's a good looking show, but I would argue it's below J.C.Staff's average. The animation is really stiff and it relies heavily on CG. That being said, it was fairly good CG. It did not bother me as much as I would've expected. Still, I would have…

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

I would say that if you do not like this anime within the first 2.5 episodes, you will probably not like this anime. But if you like ridiculous animes, then I definitely recommend this. It feels like every episode more and more ridiculous things happen, like if the anime is trying to outdo itself. You have to watch every episode just to keep up with every ridiculous thing that is going on, as they build ontop of each other. That is something that unfortunately the plot does not do, as the plot if fairly weak, but that is fairly typical of comedy animes. There are also a lot of very quotable moments.

First of all, its not for everyone.
I read other peoples feelings here and concluded the most obvious thing:
People see shows in such different ways that its super hard do please.
I like this show, and i rewatched, and im kind of hard to please if i say so. But something in this show, the time comic idk, it makes me feel at easy.
Its not a show to be high on, or to remember forever, dont get me wrong. But im not bored watching it, and thats remarcable nowadays. I think this come from the peace it gives me, the comic time and how good the design and animation works on. Its a easy show to watch, not so strong mixed feelings, ansiaty triggers and etc. Its good, funny, heart warming and easy to watch. If ure having a hard time or anything, i sugest watching. Give it a go, watch some ep and don…

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…

Hello, this review is from the perspective of a woman so I want to tell you about the different aspects I like and dislike from a female perspective!! Overall a fair warning this anime does not have a proper ending. Instead, the show has a seasonal ending where everything feels unaddressed.
When it comes down to the female characters there was only really two part that made me feel uncomfortable which was how Honoka would address Ayaka's body as being a full figure. Along with the little sister character that was the typical Onii-chan possessive type. It's not really a harem despite having tons of female characters and one male. Only two characters have feelings for the main character which is Ayaka and the little sister.
In my opinion, I actually liked Ayaka but that was because to me s…

The truth is as much as i wanted to like this, I found it difficult. Everything revolves around 2 characters becoming a highly overpowered combination, that pretty much becomes an invincible team that no one can do anything against.
So when tower witches which seem the majority of witches constantly in groups looking to gain power from attacking these two, they constantly look incompetent and useless as time and time again, they fail to learn from anything they do or the massive gap in power.
The story is watchable, but you feel it is flawed on power levels, why tower witches will kill and their enemies won't, how even for an objective that will benefit one side, they fail to work together, communicate, etc,
Slowly it just makes the anime worse from something that could of pushed a 7 w…

This anime was very unpredictable. I love that it doesn't go into the normal cliché of romance, but gives you enough to root for the MC. The story felt all too empty for me to get into. Characters were established but we had no clue who they are or really what they were supposed to bring to the table. You figure out the mystery as you go along and enjoy a tall, perfect woman care for this smaller, nobody MC. I feel like the MC deserves more love from the other characters of this show besides the heroine and the younger sister. Season 2 isn't happening so I almost wouldn't invest too much into this one.

This animé shows me that there needs to be an OK choice. Let me explain.
Early on we know that the MC is powerless but still has immense power.
I won't write anything about spoilers so read all you want.
From the beginning, we get to know the 2 main characters and their relationship. But through the entire show, I felt that something was amiss. I wanted more character backstory. Especially about how they met.
Later on, in the show at the end, we still don't know why or how they met.
Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the show. That's why I say it's just "Okay"
That being said. I wanted more. I wish there was more to see and write about but unfortunately, there is not.
This is just my own opinion on this matter and I think it should be taken with a grain of salt.

Dear God.
I like this dynamic. Tall Girl and Short boy. Usually, it is vice versa or the main characters tend to be cringe or annoying after awhile. They had a motive to react the way they feel. But it surprised me. It was hilarious at times. Could not stop laughing at those moments. And there were serious moments. But not too serious. And the fight scenes looks good.
Music was typical music of an fantasy anime. The ending I did not see coming fully. Art was good. Like I freeze a frame and it looked like a well drawn frame. Not sure if all of the episodes are like this as I did not pause each one. But I like the art alot. It is not unique as some of the characters remind me of other characters.
At times, I like fashion in anime. So I thought the clothing in this were good choices. Mad…

This will be my first review ever in this and am late since this show came out a while ago but the male main character is sooooo useless and very careless with barely not thinking the situation. When he does make a decision, it mostly end up in a bad way for how stupid the choice he make to use the power of the white witch. Its understandable to care and help the people but his actions always end up nearly killing him and Ayaka come save him all the time while be barely develops at all. He stayed the same being stupid and useless.
I have not read the books but if the show does somehow get a 2nd season, the character better develop and progress rather than being useless while making rash decisions that can cause another major cause to the town because how reckless he is and also being too…

This anime is about witches and how one witch in particular protects aguy who she loves, but there are different kind of withces tht want HIS WHITE STUFF.
The plot is 7 and I think that thse witches need to drink some tea, i dont even know wtf happened while watching this anime. If i dont remember a lot waht happened then it wasn't that good of an anime. But its just my opinion. Its just sweet romance with weird girls in it who want a boys white stuff. There are some princeses ruined city and witches.... I dunno i think it needed something more something spicy ....

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…

Witch Craft Works (2014)
STORY:
A perfectly content guy lives a normal life in a normal way who sits next to the school idol is ignored usually. This is until she becomes talkative to him after his life nearly ends as it turns out she is a witch. The Workshop Witches and the Tower Witches whom both have goals of either peace or careless destruction to gain what they want are after the main protagonist since he is effectively possessed with great power.
The story has many tropes we like to see with this being unusual as the male is more or less helpless with the powerful female cast.
The story plays out with the now sort of couple being attacked and defeating those who wish harm on them. Some fights are easier than others and many accept terms when facing defeat to live somewhat peacefu…

I'm going to keep this review as short as possible. I don't want to make it boring as the anime is. Contains some spoilers and swear words, so if you want to avoid one of these things stop reading it now. One more thing, be aware of that English is not my first language. ;)
Story (4): Pretty casual story. Main male character is a "container" who possesses hidden magic powers. Both the Workshop Witches and the Tower Witches want him. The first are trying to catch him, when the other one are trying to protect him. Simple as that. (If you want to know more read a synopsis or watch it yourself.) It seems like a plot is not really important and have changed few times during the show. I mean, the anime could be shorter if we cut some useless things like - let's call it side, because I don't ha…
