Kono Danshi, Mahou ga Oshigoto desu.

So it looks like I'll be the first person to write a review for this one.
First of all, I really enjoy shounen ai/yaoi anime, so, of course I liked this, but I will be as objective as possible for a person to be in these cases.

Story: 4
The story takes place in an alternate fantasy world where only some people can use magic. Nothing complicated.

Art and animation: 8
The art is splendid. Everything is colorful and beautiful done, especially the drinks. It is a pleasure to look at this short anime.

However, the animation is mediocre to bad(the characters barely move) and this might be a ... problem at first, but you'll get used.

Sound: 7
Opening is good, I liked it.
The voice actors made a good job,too. Nothing spectacular.

Characters: 6
There are 2 significative characters, others aren't important .
Kashima is interesting and develops in 4 episodes. You will appreciate this.
Utsumi is a generic kind character, but of course It's needed a love interest who will accept the main character no matter what. I personally found him kind of boring, even though I did not expect much.

Enjoyment: 6
It's a short cute anime very enjoyable for a fan of shounen ai. If you are looking for something to watch and at the end to feel happy you should watch it.
On the other hand, if you want something to blow your mind and to deconstruct the genre, well you can skip this.

Overall: - 6

I'm going to be honest with you, I started this for its colours. I'm a sucker to pretty colours in anime. This anime hit all the right boxes for me, shounen ai, pretty colour, short, sweet and adorable plot line.

Disclaimer: This is my first review, sorry if it isn't what you were looking for.

Story: 8
Afterall, it is a four episode long anime. You wouldn't expect long elaborate things from it, and it gives you what you should expect. A simple plot line, a clear progression to the end. The story is about two men in a world where some can use magic. Personally, ... I thought it played pretty well in four episodes with this idea, specially when linked to its character development.

Characters: 8
The character personalities were well made to match the theme of the anime. Without giving any spoilers, the characters personalities had a good flow with the plot and were easily lovable.

Sound: 8
I loved the opening theme of the anime and the voice actors did pretty well too. I don't have any complaints but nothing stood out too much either other than the opening song.

Art: 10
This is probably why I watched the anime at first. The animation is not meant to be flow-y and smooth, the characters don't move much but their design is adorable. This is a refreshing and cute change from the normal style of animation and is definitely supported by its colours. The portrayal of magic looked brilliant and was really well done.

Enjoyment: 9
This is probably the most subjective category. I enjoyed it as it fitted well with the fact that I love shounen-ai, pretty colours and unorthodox animation. If you're not too fond of any of these, I recommend giving it a cautious try.

Hope this helped! :)

To be honest, I started watching this one just cuz it was BL. What I must say first of all - the ART is Amazing! I was left breathless by the emotions solely from animation itself. I could just talk and talk of how great this anime is drawn. I would suggest to watch this one just for that.
And yes, the story maybe isn't something new in this genre, but still very warm and gentle, so I loved it. Characters is lovable. Anime is short, but that is maybe plus and minus in one.
So just go ahead and have this eye candy for yourself :)

Story:
This is has shounen-ai genre, and a short anime (4 mins or so). So, in terms of story, I think this show got a great plot for a short anime. It has the theme, the opening, the problems, the climax, and the solutions. Not just some weird, random story lines.

Art:
Not the best if you are looking for some great looking guy, since this is shounen-ai. But, I do love how they do the background. It has some oil or water colours feelings, and simply gorgeous to be seen. It was kind of weird to see the movement/animation though, but still refreshing to see something so ... different compare to others.

Sound:
Not too many background sound, since this was a short anime. But, I do like the ending song though.

Character:
Just like the story, for me, this anime has the best character descriptions and development for a short anime. Both characters got clear personalities. And character development between two main characters were developed pretty good from the problems, climax, and solutions.

Enjoyment:
To be honest, it was quite entertaining for me, even though it was short anime with only 4 episodes. But, I feel satisfied watching it, and glad it wasn't disappointing or just some random short anime without story line.

Overall:
Great. You can try watching it, it wouldn't be hurt especially with such a short time and episodes. For me, this was the first short anime that I came to like in terms of plotting. And oh yea, don't forget that I love the art (despite the character faces, pst).

Just wanted to throw in my humble two cents.
To be fair, I think you really have to look at the context in which this anime is created and the entire shounen-ai industry. BL anime in itself is quite rare (as compared to, oh i dunno, harem and/or ecchi types??) and a BL anime with special attention to animation style is exceedingly rare. But given a typical plot line of a BL manga (no spoilers here), whatever is lackluster in the plot or the characters is really made up for in the animation quality. Cmon, this is a BL anime that's not only HD, but ... also beautiful!? You don't get to see these often at all. Plus I personally think the characters have very cute reactions. Typical, yes, but still cute.
Also, if you're not a fan of BL, or can't stand the sight of two guys together, then just don't watch this. If you're unsure but curious, you might as well give it a try--the episodes are only a couple minutes long and you'll be able to decide for yourself if you like if after the first episode. :)

Story: 7
Story was quite typical, but I liked the execution nonetheless

Art: 9
Pretty colours, especially for backgrounds and drinks - the Cosmo drink especially looks so good! I also like the sticker style animation that sometimes pop up as well =) The magic was also animated nicely, though it would have been nice to see someone else using their magic, or are they all water-based like Chiharu's?

Sound: 7
The theme song (?) was nice but nothing too special

Character: 6
... Feel like if the characters were fleshed out more with longer episodes counts or times would have been a lot more enjoyable, was super curious about Zaou's family =P

Although I have to admit sympathizing with Chiharu- like why is someone super cool even interested in an introvert like myself...

I'm going to be honest and say that the reason I gave this show a 6 and not a 5 was only because of the shounen ai elements on it.

Story: 4
There was something lacking on this, maybe the fact that it seems so rushed, which is something to be expected since it has only 4 episodes with 7 minutes each. However I have seen the studio do much better with less time. The fact that the events happen so quickly doesn't really give you time to feel anything for the characters.

Art: 8
As always the studio does a great job with the backgrounds and the general ... art. If you have seen any other shounen-ai animes from them I can safely assure you that the art is just as pretty as in any other of their works. Even though there's a certain amount of dark colors (since the anime as a lot of scenes at night). The magic themes on the anime were beautifully made. Since the characters barely move it's a plus to have pretty backgrounds.

Sound: 6
You focus exactly on what you need to focus since the background sounds aren't annoying or useless. Plus the voice actors made a good job.

Characters: 6
We have two characters: Kashima (the one who works to much and doesn't have any interest in love) and Utsumi (the kind and accepting characters that falls in love with our main character). It's all very cliché really but at least there's some character developing happening.


Enjoyment: 6
It's a short anime that you should definitely watch if you want something with a good ending and that will make you feel happy at the end. However if you are looking for a good plot maybe you should look for something different.

Overall: 6

I pressed random on Crunchyroll and was directed to this anime. ​As someone who has never seen this type of art style before, it was mesmerizing. My eyes stayed glued to the screen for all 4 episodes.

The story was simple and easy to follow along.
The music was lovely, and the sound effects appropriate.
The characters were wholesome and endearing. Not once did I second-guess the character’s intentions.

Just a straightforward and heartwarming short series. Even with the struggles present in the story, it remained lighthearted. It's perfect for anyone that is not looking for anything long and heavy. I enjoyed it immensely.

If ... I were to describe the series in one word it would be: lovely.

Honestly I really enjoyed these 40 minutes. Even though it was a short story and not many different characters it was still pretty satisfying to me. Unlike other I want to look towards the positive side of the anime, which is for me more important.

The story pretty much focuses on the main character's emotional life and them as an individual, it shows how one thinks about themselves as a person. I was able to relate to the the character's judgements as it strongly spoke about how a person judge's their own personality and how it can be a good or a bad thing. There is ... not much to the romantic part (bl scences and all) but rather it talks about the issues of a character as in accepting themselves for who they are...

(PS. I came here as a fujoshi, there were cute scenes between the main character and his love, even though there were no hardcore romantic scenes, STILL I wasn't dissapointed it was rather a fun experience facing the truth)

This is pretty uncalled but still I have to mention it ->

(ANIMATIONS WERE A BLAST LIKE HOW THEY DID THE BACKGROUND, OPENING AND THE SPECIAL HIGHLIGHTS)
