This is Shinbo x SHAFT doing what they do best. The visuals are great and a major selling point. It touches on all the usual tropes as if to prove it's a magical girl anime like any other but then it goes and departs from all of that and gives us something new and unique. The story keeps you yearning for that next episode. As of episode 9 it hasn't lost steam.

This is an adult-targeted magical girl show. It's dark, heavy-hitting, suspenseful and the battles with witches are glorious and ridiculous. I'd go so far as to call it Magical Girlin' Lagann. It's even lacking in nude transformations (not counting the opening) and other fanservice of underage girls, so you can watch it around people who aren't anime fans without feeling ashamed.

If you've never enjoyed a magical girl anime before then this could easily be the first. If you like more pure magical girls, maybe look elsewhere.
