Synopsis

There is a rumor doing the rounds in Harajuku: somewhere in the back streets of Ura-Harajuku, a witch and her mysterious shop serve those whose wishes have gone unheard, giving them an opportunity to unlock their hearts' greatest desires.

Believing this to be an ideal arrangement, the proud apprentice witch Nina strives to fulfill her customers' wishes while her power and influence grow accordingly. However, not all wishes are meant to come true—and not all of them lead to a happy ending. As Nina is compelled to peer deeper into the human psyche, she soon discovers the dark side of a witch's obligations, and her ambitions begin to clash with her wish to comfort the entire world.

If you want a short, experimental anime that you can watch in one sitting then this is it. It’s stylish with unique visuals and songs, and isn’t afraid to use these to its advantage when tackling its themes. It only gets better and better as it goes with a gradual transition into a darker tone.

Artiswitch is ultimately about wishes and their consequences, both good and bad. It’s not the typical “be careful what you wish for,” type moral either. It boils down to what the character themselves wished for in order to be happy, and this is shown through both simple and extreme wishes. It ...

It is artsy and over the top, but in a good way.

The episodes are short, but the director manages to make us fall in love with the characters instantly. Everything is well thought the characters act in refreshingly real ways, never acting forced or over the top. It all feels close to heart, intimate and bittersweet.

Without spoilers, I'll just say that the anime's theme is people's inner wishes or inner true self, and about how hard it is to be true to our nature in a world where everything is judged, everything is online and we put such high expectations on ourselves.

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (5/6 eps)
Though it was clear by the end of the second episode that the following episodes' themes were going to get progressively darker and more complex, I didn't think it would take as dark of a turn as it eventually did. The esoteric and artsy nature of the show's artistic direction is sure to not sit well with many viewers, so while I wouldn't recommend this to everybody, I'd ask anyone who isn't turned off completely by the first episode to give the whole 6 episodes a go as shit escalates more quickly than you'd expect.

The 3D animation is neither offensive nor remarkable. I think it's ...
