A good plot and a mind captivating progression is what makes a good anime and this has it both. Apart from good animations it has all positive aspects. The comedy and the school life is what is best. It has an op heroine and is good because the witch concept is a bit women dominated. But the main thing is that anime shows too less of the thrill. Anime consists up to chapter 28 of manga which is a tiny part of the greater plot in the total 90+ chapter ongoing manga. The plot is explained very well in the manga and the past is also explained well and that gives it a nice loutlook. Plot here. Even though they shared the same bus every morning and sat next to each other in class Ayaka Kagari the Princess of Tougetsu High School was nothing more than an unreachable idol for Honoka Takamiya. The horde of students who worshipped the Princess was merely a nuisance to Honoka living his lazy regular high school life. Everything seemed perfectly normal until one day Honoka is attacked out of the blue by a mysterious witch. To his surprise Ayaka saves his life revealing herself to be a fire witch on a covert mission to protect Honoka. From that fateful day the ordinary life of Honoka is turned upside down as he is thrown into the war between the Workshop Witches who strive to protect the citizens and the Tower Witches who desire to steal a power hidden within him. The animation is just outstanding as I mentioned before. Well the characters might look a little weird but the background and all the details are one of the best Ive ever seen in an anime. The action scenes are very beatifully drawn while also being epic Witch Craft Works is pretty above average in my opinion. It looks great but some of the story is just random and strange and the characters needed more time to develop with a smaller cast of actually relevant characters. Too many characters are introduced quickly late in the show and too many are introduced for too long in the beginning only to fade out of importance by the end. The final villain was especially terribly introduced and the show made it seem like the villain was just a precursor villain for the real one except that that wasnt the case. Takamiyas power could have also used a better explanation but Im not sure even he knows exactly what his power is either. But even with all those problems its not a bad show and it was fairly entertaining. Witch Craft Works doesnt escape a sea of cliches in any way. Rather it classically defines it with its dull protagonist Takamiya. Theres literally nothing special about the boy as many characters throughout the series sees him as the average Joe. On the other hand we have a queen at school named Kagari Ayaka that serves as Takamiyas antithesis. Almost everyone at school literally worships and tries to get on her good side. The show emphasizes the idea that she is their Goddesses while Takamiya is viewed as nothing more than a sidekick or even a servant. Some may even think Takamiya blackmailed their queen into being his friend/accomplice. And in essence their relationship is monotonous. It isnt just defined by their interactions or cheesy dialogues but rather by their lack of connection. Theres almost nothing compatible between the duo whether itd be their traits abilities or status. More than anything we only know that Kagari wishes to protect him with her life. Throughout the series it does spark some curiosity as to what this may be. Otherwise their relationship is about stone cold as a boulder lacking any features of enthrallment.
