Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had the power to switch bodies with someone else? No? How about the power of charm telepathy or seeing the future? Or maybe youve thought about invisibility dreaming of traumatic events or even erasing memories? Still not impressed? Well what if you had to KISS someone in order to use one of those seven powers? Mmhmm I think Ive caught your attention now. Ladies and gentlemen welcome to my review of Yamada and the Seven Witches also known in Japanese as Yamadakun to 7nin no Majo. Yamadakun and the Seven Witches is about Ryuu Yamada a delinquent in his second year at Suzaku High School. One day he accidentally falls down a flight of stairs crashing into the schools top student Urara Shiraishi in the process. When Yamada regains consciousness he discovers that he has switched bodies with Shiraishi. When they switch back they discover that kissing causes them to switch bodies. It is later discovered that there are seven witches at Suzaku High School each of them possessing a unique power. Together with the newlyrevived Supernatural Studies Club they set out to discover the identities of these seven witches. Although Ive never read the manga before Ive known about it for quite a while because of its popularity. Thats why when the anime was announced I jumped at the chance to watch it. I didnt enjoy it as much as Id hoped I would but it still turned out to be a great anime in all other aspects. The story is well puttogether and I liked that it focused on powers other than body swapping. Each of the characters were developed quite well especially the witches. You cannot forget the main characters though. Yamada was a fun character from beginning to end and Shiraishi was quite an interesting one. The other members of the Supernatural Studies Club Miyamura the student council vice president Itou the supernaturalobsessed girl and Tsubaki a transfer student who is introduced later each have their moments of brilliance or hilariousness. The voice acting was done very well and each voice actor fit their character as well as possible. I didnt care for the ending theme Candy Magic that much but I absolutely LOVE the opening Kuchizuke Diamond Its very catchy and wellsung its easily one of the best opening themes of the season where it aired. The best part of this anime though was the animation. It was so vivid and welldone Thinking about it I wonder why I didnt enjoy Yamadakun and the Seven Witches so much because what is there not to like about it? Id recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the manga. Or maybe I should read the manga myself and see if the anime was any different from it? I dont know.
