Tejina-senpai

A great and hilarious show with looots of fanservice.

The art style was amazing in lots of ways. On one hand it really made the fanservice shine, on the other hand it draws out the comedy scenes

The comedy in this anime was reeeally great too. Can't count how many times I laughed in this show.

As it's a collection of short stories in short episodes this anime doesn't have that much story and the characters also just feel like an element for the show. There is some slight character development tho but most of the time they have their personality and stick to it.
There's also one character ... that's highlighted pretty much in op and ed but didn't get much screen time at all, which is a bit disappointing.

Overall it's a great show you'll definitely enjoy watching and as it's not that long too you can watch it anytime I think

Before I watched the first episode of Tenjina Senpai (Magical Sempai), a little voice told me it would be a very comical experience. From the character interactions and premise itself, this show felt like one that was based off of memes and satirical humor. Is Magical Sempai really a meme or something much deeper than meets the eye?

With 12 half length episodes, Magical Sempai runs a trend of adapting storytelling in the form of humorous skits. Every episode contains various segments that connects the overall themes of the show. At the heart is the Magic Club, run by titular character Sempai. Joining him is a ... young boy going by the name “Assistant”. Make no mistake, it seems that the author didn’t really want to identify our main leads by actual names. However, that’s not a significant problem. What you should be concerned about is how an anime about magic performances can be translated into entertainment.

For starters, you should never take this anime seriously as the show itself seems to be very self-aware. The first episode deals with the activities of the Magic Club. To be fair, Sempai is actually skilled but when faced with an audience, she suffers from stage fright and ends up embarrassing herself. There’s an immense amount of jokes that pokes fun of her stage fright at every chance it gets. These usually ends up with various innuendos and adult humor. Ecchi is a common sight as there’s panty shots in almost every episode. Sempai gets tied up often by her own performances and becomes a main source of fan service. Hell, it seems the anime even loves to put Sempai in sexy outfits ranging from gym clothes to Chinese dresses. If you came for fan service, you're going to be pleased.

Despite being the main characters, we do meet a few others ranging from Sister (the Magic Club advisor), Madara-chan (Chemistry club president), Saki-chan and her overweight brother, Masashi. Their purpose in the show is mostly to amplify the comedy with their various personalities. Most of them somehow gets involved in one way or another with the Magic Club. Saki-chan is also a target for fan service once you see how much she is advertised. With this ridiculous cast of characters, you really should just sit back and watch this with an bucket of popcorn. We’re not going to see much character development. The anime’s goal is to entertain in the most straightforward way possible. It uses its skits that focuses on daily activities at school, mostly associated with the Magic Club.

I’m not a big fan of magic although this show actually focuses some of its screen time to explain the various tricks and performances. Most of this is explained by Sempai in a casual style while inserting its gimmicky humor. There’s actually a decent amount of magic performances such as card tricks, spoon-bending techniques, the box illusion, pulling pigeons out of hats, etc. If you’re familiar with magic, you’ve probably heard or seen most of them before. When translated into this anime, it becomes more of a meme with how silly it turns out to be.

It’s not a full length anime but having a show like this is no less than some popcorn entertainment. Every episode contains enough skits to entertain while poking fun of the characters’ personalities. Sempai is the poster girl who also becomes the main source of jokes in the show. Whether you like her character isn’t all that important. In essence, you’re going to just have to take what Magical Sempai throws at you. Then in the end, somehow, some way, you may not regret it.

Ladies and Gentlemen , this 12 min long anime has just ended.

So:

Story

Pros: Every once a while we get to see a variation of Hutaro from Daganshi Kishi, play this fumbling Magician wannabe, who happens to the last one in her club.

Cons: Basically, the plot about her were it has more to do with her panchira and big size melons than the anything else.

... Verdict 3/10

Art

Pros: That would be the girls panchira ( where Tejina has the most), and bust size of the 2 girls except the 4 eyes one.

Cons: I kinda hate that the boys were illustrated as dorksters, were one was more of a skinny gaming loner and the other one ought be a sumo wrestler with his big stomach.

Verdict 7/10

Sound

Pros: Tejina's cutie voice and the opening.

Cons: Kitamura Eri was just too old to voice Saki.

Verdict 8/10


Character

Pros: It has more to do with the eye candy Tejina's panchira and boobs, in fact her assets were pretty much the character around here.

Cons: Tejina was simply annoying, not to mention about her being this double standard bimbo, who like magic but can't stand audience, Saki on the other hand was more like a bitch with poor taste in men, like c'mon being this brocon to her fatso ototo. Also, it was kinda annoying that Madara's character was never fully utilize by this anime's director Usui, Fumiaki of LINDENFILMS.

Verdict 3/10


Enjoyment

Pros: I basically have mixed reactions with this anime, cu'z in one hand it was enjoyable. But.................

Cons: There was that part of me were I'm soooo pissed about this anime.

Verdict 6/10


Overall

Verdict 3/10

It was Ok to some extent, but this ain't worth a 7 and above and only those with a Hotaru fetish would give this a high score and those who can't get enough of voluptuous school girl eyecandy like that of Tejina would go for it.

This show reminds me very much of Aho Girl. If you enjoy shows that aren't serious and you don't mind cheap jokes and forced ecchi-ness, then this anime might be for you.

Sempai is a magician wannabe who fails at every trick she attempts. Each failure results in embarrassment with erotic innuendos. The jokes are lowbrow. Even Assistant-kun's reactions show the same sentiments within the show; no one tries to mask the cheapness of it all. There are parts of this show that made me laugh and I very much wanted to like it a lot, (especially because I really enjoyed Aho Girl), but alas, the ... humour and characters both miss the mark.

Given that the episodes are short (about 12 mins), it's an easy watch to pass time. Actually, each episode is further divided into parts, which appeals to my short attention span. Each "story" is around 4 minutes, so this is a show to have on hand when you don't have long lengths of time to spare.

Takeaway: An anime to watch when you need a short comic break. (Especially if you're really tired from work and don't have the mental capacity to judge how cheap the jokes are.)

I've been watching this on Crunchyroll where it goes by the title of Magical Sempai. I usually don't look for ecchi series, but after seeing a couple memes and comments on YouTube, I decided to give this show a shot. It did not disappoint.
Each episode is roughly 15 minutes with 5 shenanigans each, for bite size bits of bumbling magic and mayhem. The jokes are fun with just enough ecchi to help the comedy without overpowering the mix.
There is nothing groundbreaking about this show, but its not trying to be anything more than good fun. I recommend this show to anyone looking for a ... little anime frivolity in their day and hope that the show will continue to deliver laughs.

Out of all the shows that came out this season, this one (and Try Knights) were the least impressive of the bunch. This just came off as a little trite and boring in the first couple of episodes. Thankfully, after the first two episodes, the show starts getting it's groove of making itself 100% cheese and it kinda works. I'm not saying I'm gonna come back for this show, but as a way to get my fan service for the last 12 weeks, it wasn't a bad thing at all.

The production, all things considered, is actually decent for what it is. The animation is nice ... to look at and occasionally can be a little pretty. The music is just kinda goofy. The OP is basically an ear worm and while the ED is nice, it isn't the greatest contrast to the OP. Yeah, I know this is a stupid criticism for a show that's basically what I wish the magic club in my school was like, but it's still there.

Look, if a show like this can make me laugh with a stupid line like "Take back my boner", then you can probably enjoy. Really the biggest strength comes in with VAs and the writing. The VAs are what really make this show enjoyable for what it is, especially Senpai and Assistant, who bring a lot of life into the roles that easily could've been stale in episode 4. The writing isn't amazing, but it does manage to have some good jokes, at least one every episode, but the show does heavily rely on misunderstandings as jokes. But the show can also the nice moment here and there. It's surprising considering the material they had.

Overall, Tenjina-senpai is a stupid, but fun show. I don't see myself returning but I won't say I didn't enjoy myself while watching. If you want to see magic + a lot of fan-service, this show isn't the worst thing to watch.

There really is nothing that needs to be said other than the fact that this anime isn't even remotely funny.

If you want to watch an entire anime of the annoying "Oh no! The girl I like accidentally showed me her panties!" joke from every ecchi anime ever made go for it. Otherwise, watch a better ecchi anime. I don't understand how this anime got even remotely positive reviews when there are actually fun ecchi anime out there like Monster Musume.

Literally every joke is the same, I'm not exaggerating. Senpai tries a magic trick, senpai fails and gets into a lewd situation. That's the entire anime. ... There is no overall narrative, nor is there any reason to watch this over better things. I don't understand how people don't get bored with the exact same setup and punchline several times per episode.

Don't support anime which were clearly written to appeal to a demographic instead of any real passion or creativity. "I want to make a shittily written ecchi anime but I need a gimmick for it to stand out. I know, I'll just google a few magic tricks!" That's how this was made, no passion for anything but money.

I recommend this anime to watch, for those of you who are bored and need sugar intake, then this anime is the answer.
But I also wouldn't recommend it for those of you whose tastes aren't anime like this, This anime is nothing more than mere entertainment, the story is decent, not too bad and not too good.

By the way, I've re-watched this anime three times, and this is the first time I'm giving a review, so maybe the impression I have of this anime is just normal.

The character design is good, and doesn't show too much of a perverted side, so for those of ... you who don't really like perverted things, I think this will suit you.

No honest person is watching Tejina-senpai for reasons above gag comedy smothered with fanservice. Fair criticism of Tejina-senpai must come in how the fanservice is actually being delivered and, to a degree of lesser importance, whether or not the comedy is effective. It is there that I take issue with this anime’s lukewarm at best approach to eroticism and a repetitive punchline that wears itself thin as the episodes progress.

The gist of Tejina-senpai is that Tejina has a sexy body that through failed magical acts is exposed to the gaze of the viewer. But this anime goes out of it’s way to ensure that the ... entirety of Tejina's body is censored. There is always a random object magically obstructing nudity and even at one point milktoast MC kun’s hand excitedly waving over her chest to ensure the viewer cannot see. This may seem like a pedantic criticism only uttered by degenerates of the highest order, of which I am one, but if you are watching this anime primarily for the fanservice it can feel like a slap in the face to be teased with the full picture only to get a snapshot and wonder about the possibilities. Sometimes censorship can be forgiven with a distinct artstyle that is well defined enough to encourage the viewer to use their own creative imagination, but the artstyle of this anime is very generic, far from that of Dagashi Karashi where the designs of the characters are utterly gorgeous even without ever being exposed. Such is not the case in Tejina senpai where the attractiveness of the characters is limited to the proportion of their bodies. Censorship may also be forgiven if the fanservice is delivered in creative ways and the characters engage in some form of intimacy - Kiss x Sis would be the pinnacle of this. Tejina senpai obviously doesn't deliver in that way.

Just as damning as the censorship is the fanservice rarely being animated. We are often given vertical panning still shots of characters in a variety of skimpy costumes that are no different from what can be found on deviantart. I mean I can scroll up and down on a downloaded artwork and get the same effect. A huge part of the appeal of watching fanservice in anime as opposed to a comic is that we can see these drawings come to life. Tejina senpai fails to follow through with the added oomph that ecchi anime should promise.

To say the males are underwhelming is an understatement. The main guy whose name I don't care about looks like the most average of average joes and his best friend is obese. I understand that the point of having average guys being surrounded by attractive women is to sympathize with the viewer, but this is to the sacrifice of those who prefer their ecchi narratives to have guys with some defining feature other than niceness to make their harem feel somewhat realistic.

I’ve seen some commenters compare the comedy in this anime to Konosuba, primarily due to the commonality of a failed magician who thinks they're better than they actually are and the strong fanservice. The obvious difference is that Konosuba functions as a parody of rpg gaming and isekai narratives that are all the rage in seasonal anime today, whereas the only basis for the jokes in Tejina senpai is to set up the fanservice. We are privy to the same gags that harp on the same punchline over and over again that you either laugh at or not with no need to think about how they were constructed. Though it can be unfair to compare a short to a fully supported TV series, the difference in between how the two execute their comedy is still relevant.

It is not imperative for an ecchi show to have nudity. and it's not that important for an ecchi show to even be funny. But you better bring the heat in terms of fanservice if literally everything else is lacking and Tejina senpai just doesn't do that enough to satiate the degenerate consumer of all things ecchi. What could have been something great that improves upon the source material, like an anime should purport to do, instead is a run of the mil ecchi that can be found pretty much everywhere on a dartboard of the genre.

Ecchi: The anime.

So, Tejina-Senpai is a good example of an anime that showcases the cultural divide between the west and Japan. In the west, this type of series is good for memes and trashing on and that's about it. In Japan, this anime is actually extremely popular and is really the type of stuff that many otaku are into. It's ecchi, it's silly, it's an overall good time. Will you get some really deep and substantive plot that you need to tune in each week to learn more about? No. And if you are looking for that, you're in the wrong place. Tejina senpai is ... a good way to wind down and relax on a Wednesday morning/Tuesday night and to get some good dirty laughs. The series has tonnes of Ecchi moments involving Senpai and the guy MC and that's what makes it such a big draw in Japan. Sexually repressed society + Ecchi anime, match made in heaven.

As for the review breakdown:

Art:10, really love the characters designs and proportions ;)

Sound: it's a SOL so no real test to this, but everything is nice and clear.

Character: I love the MC and Senpai's interactions as well as the chem club leader who reminds me of the third wheel from Senko San

Enjoyment:10, again, this is not for everyone, but for me, if I enjoy a show, it's an easy 9 or 10 and since I really enjoy and consistently watch the series, this gets a 10.

Overall: If you like ecchi humour, fanservice, big anime tiddies and a good laugh, this is for you. If you are too uptight and not into that type of stuff, you won't enjoy this. It's not groundbreaking or deep, but it will cheer up your day, in my opinion.

Tejina senpai is a really hilarious anime. I really liked it.

The series is chock full of ecchi comedy as one would expect. The side characters are all interesting as well and are also interesting to watch on their own as well. The assistant is definitely the best character for me tho, the dude is hilarious as the straightman.

I know this anime isn't meant to be taken seriously, but I wish they would have dug a bit deeper into Tejina's character. She's hilarious and has a goofy personality, but honestly I wish they showed her in some serious scenes at least. It does feel like a ... facade that she puts up so it would have been interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes in her mind.

They show her as being this alone girl in school that has no friends, but never explored it in any meaningful way. This seems to be a recurring theme in this anime too. Madara's character is never explored either. This show is full of potential to be honest.

However most of the potential seems to be lost to make space for the ecchi. Don't get me wrong, the ecchi fan service is fucking FANTASTIC. But I somehow got used to it overtime. The chemistry between that of Tejiwara and the Assistant works really well however only because of the ecchi component.

As per the character design, I'm not a fan of the insanely mega sized body type myself, but I'd be lying if I said I hated it. The assistant looks pretty dull and boring, but makes up for it with his personality for sure.

One peculiar detail that I wasn't able to get over was Tejina's eyes. I appreciate the different looking design, but I felt it looks a bit off and as a result, I feel like she wasn't able to express that much expression with them. This is some SUPER nitpicky shit, but I liked the different style of eye drawing in this, so I wish they did it a bit better.

The intro is very nice and fun to watch too. Really good music too. It's a bop to listen to.

Overall, I really wanted more from this anime. I love what I got sure, but I wish they'd explored the characters more. Tejina is a great character and I can't help but root for her too. The series is filled with really good ecchi moments too that are definitely worth a re-watch too. Definitely check it out.

There's no specific plot to it, the show just moves.

It's a laid back and simple show, that anyone can get into. If you can handle fan service, cause that's basically what this show is. Sempai getting herself into unfortunate lewd situations. If you're a fan of eechi, this should be on your list.

The art is good at best, no complaints on it really.

In other words, it's short & sweet.

WATCH: If you want fan service, something simple & fast (only 15 mins/episode)

... DON'T WATCH: If you don't like fan service, or want a plot. You ain't finding that here.

That's all there is to this summer 2019 show.

I wasn't a big fan of watching seasonal shows, because I usually prefer to watch the whole thing with a really fast pace, usually finishing an anime in one or two days. I decide to try to keep up with seasonal shows and Tejina-senpai was one of those.
This anime really got me at the very first episode. I didn't really feel like I was watching some well constructed plot-wise masterpiece, but still, it accomplished everything it was trying to do.
Considering this is a pure comedy anime, the jokes were pretty good and I found myself laughing at most of the skits. Even in the ones ... I didn't laugh, the good fanservice was enough to keep me with my eyes glued at the screen. For the ones who plan to watch this anime, I might just say, don't get your hopes up, this is just an really entretaining show and nothing more than that. Have fun!

Tejina-Senpai (2019)

13 minute short episodes of the happenings in the Magic Club which is the storage room for the Science club. Senpai and her Assistance being the main characters with the Assistant actually the protagonist.

The series is nicely done with good art that is pleasing to view.

The opening is a nice tune and the ending also is nice.

Characters develop as best they can in the short time frame. You do get to know people quite well and the generic tropes and fanservice that is played out. Madara-san is one of the better characters to which her actions are a little bit less expected ... since she is not in the club directly. She is the best girl of the series and was hopeful for some romance to blossom for her and the assistant.

The series is an enjoyable watch which you could easily throw an episode in at very short notice.

Overall it is a good series. It doesn't do anything different or spectacular but also does very little wrong in the grand scheme of things.

I know there won’t be a second season... but I honestly really enjoyed this show. Ecchi, genuine magic tricks, some pretty amusing ‘inversions of expectations’ for the sake of comedy... it was all really quite fun; and, unlike most 12 minute/“half-time” shows, the whole ‘4-coma’ pseudo-presentation really suited the show.

I honestly didn’t regret watching a single episode. Amazing show. ... Hard to rate, though. ... I mean, ‘for what it is, it’s beyond my expectations’—but I didn’t expect much from it to begin with, ya know? Well... I think that kind of “Expectation-Setup” is part of a show’s foundation, so even if “less effort” was ... put into the whole Product, the delivery of ‘that expectation’ was easily a 7/10, if I’m being objective (I’m giving it 8/10 because it delivered on exactly what it suggested from the very start, and it never diverged from that or “under delivered” - I mean, even if the ‘complete package’ isn’t any kind of Masterpiece, Tejina-Senpai was VERY CLEAR about what it was “gunning for” from the very start—in that sense, it went well and beyond what it was prefacing and expecting itself to be. Honestly, that doesn’t happen often, does it?...

Our standards may usually be higher for most ‘general’ shows in anime, but... we are often disappointed, right? So then, if a show gives us a ‘projection’ of exactly what it intends to deliver, ... does it matter that the standard is ‘lower than the norm’? I mean, be realistic with me for a second: most projects don’t have the cash or sponsorship (or, heck, the time... sadly) to make a Masterpiece; and most that try just fail due to time-restraints or Politics (just look at this season’s Assassins Pride...), or just ‘underestimating the work involved to synergies multiple teams of people together unto a single project involving many unaffiliated parties’, etc. It’s a big focal point for the community every season, because we all so-desperately want the best for our “Holy Medium” that we are emotionally invested in the outcomes of each and every show that “we believe in” every season.

Tejina-Senpai isn’t a masterpiece. Tejina-Senpai isn’t even a ‘classic’—however, Tejina-Senpai perfectly delivers on exactly:
-What the studio proclaimed
-What the script-writing suggested
-What the animation delivered
-What the “magic tricks and procedures” delivers
-and, (what the voice actors delivered, plus) What the sponsors and investors, as well as directors and other politically-significant staff (cough Assassins Pride project-disaster) manages to ‘mutually negotiate’.

Many things went exceptionally well with the production of Tejina-Senpai, and it’s incredible that everything went soooo perfectly! (Just think about how easily this show could have been an utter waste of time with ‘magic tricks/arts’ just being a pretext to ‘Ecchi’ stuffs or asking all jokes completely unrelated to ‘magic tricks’ and “just using them as a means to ‘recycle jokes’).

Tejina-Senpai has integrity. It cares about the subject it pursues. It is dedicated to spreading its knowledge, and educating anyone who takes even the slightest of interests in its ‘endeavours’ (heck, even without being a “fanatic of magic-tricks”, I’m interested in investigating it after seeing so many awesome tricks in Tejina-Senpai!). This show appeals to just about everyone without even being a “blockbuster”; even without having any prior interest in Magic Tricks, Tejina-Senpai just had a perfect chemistry between every element displayed within the show. ... With that observed, I only wish there was a “full series of Tejina-Senpai”, aka another 12 episodes... Q_Q

(Plz gif 12 mooarrr magically-inclined episodes.... plllzzz... “half-episodes” is juuust cruuueeell). ;o;

It's an ecchi comedy about a senpai that's bad at magic tricks and damn does it put a smile to my face, senpai's seiyuu and obviously enjoying herself and the ecchi is damn good as well.

If you wanted a show about a useless senpai ala aqua you've come to the right place. If you've come for anything serious well this is the wrong anime for you.

In terms of comedy if your expecting something like Kaguya-sama your about in the right place, it has kaguya's absurd facing reality themes in comedy, as the senpai's magic tricks are contrasted with her stage-fright and incompetence.

The ... assistant and the senpai are a great double act with the senpai's seiyuu providing 80% of the comedy, the other 20% is from her failures in magic.

8/10, this show puts a damn big smile on my face.

Magical Sempai short review by Ja025:


Refreshing: A comedy that actually made me laugh.
Interesting: Lots of light ecchi moments and comedy.
Notable: Might teach you a trick or two. Episodes are fast paced (multiple situations in one episode).
Disappointing: Assistant is an asexual log but it’s not overly annoying as he loosens up later on.

Obvious: No connected story development – more a Slice of Life anime. Ecchi is light and comedy is goofy but fun.

Why the score: I enjoyed funny scenes it offered and ecchi it provided. Episodes were fun to watch and I found myself laughing a lot before I even realized how good this anime is. ... Probably one of the better short ecchi comedies I’ve seen so far. Contrast in Senpai’s and Assistant’s personalities and how they function together is quite interesting too.

To note: Comedy is like food, some people get to enjoy it, others don't.

Ok so, who here likes tits?
Okay now lower your hand, i know that that was an onvious question to ask anime fans but i digress.
Ok lets talk the actual show like a proper reviewer and not a fuckin ingenerate retard who knows too little about anime to review them yet.
Tejina Senpai is a show that exists, it has done nothing more or less than exist and that makes it average in my book, it does nothing special but i got a laugh once or twice and i only ever paid attention to the jiggle animation in the department of the animation quality.
While a dedicated member ... of the Flat Chest party, additionally known as Flat is justice or National Socialism. I still enjoyed Magical senpais character and her assets, which was the intention, the only notable character is the straight man who i forgot the name of and the rest are so boring and one note that not even the anime remembers them most of the time. Its an echii whow so ill talk about echii a bit more, its pretty good, not amazing but maybe cause ive been spoiled by Highschool Dxd and interspecies reviewers in the tits department anyway.

Regarding the plot, what plot? Theres no progression of any characters and everything is the same as when it started so why the fuck do i even need to explain why i didnt like it,the show couldve ended at episode 1 and nothing wouldve changed in any way.
If it was longer, then id have to watch more of something i didnt care about so the fact it was super short in my books meant it gets a 5 and not a 4, its closer to a 4 than a 6. Its good for some brainless fanservice and magical senpai is a good character to look up hentai for without feeling guilty and self concious after.

O Nayef, O Nayef, stay away from people and do not listen to their words. This anime is one of the best anime that is categorized by Aceh. Anyone who opposes what is real?

This anime is actually a good anime, for an ecchi anime I consider this as a top tier in my list, tbh sometimes i feel sorry for those who didn’t watch it yet or didn’t think about watching it, man this anime should be in top 1000, i don’t know why it’s not between this ranking.

At the end i just wanna clear that Nayef is a god watcher, not a weeb, not ... a culteured one, not a normie, but a god, one and only god, keep it up man and don’t listen to people they don’t deserve your opinion.


All love for Nayef

There's nothing much to the show. As an ecchi, the main jokes revolve around Sempai finding herself in compromising positions such as getting tied up; having her clothes get damaged; or in one instance, forgetting to bring clothes to dress into as part of one of her street performances. That kind of humor gets really old because of how predicatble it can be. Going onto animation, it's average. Honestly because of the many pantyshots and boob bouncing, it almost becomes bland as it happens in nearly every episode.

The opening and ending themes are decent as is the voice acting. There is a small number ... of characters in the series with each varying in terms of how they are played. The Assistant is generic and mostly serves as the stand-in for the audience observing Sempai's misadventures. He is the straight man of the relationship, but at the same time, I found myself slightly disliking him because of the fact that he makes it clear often that he is largely interested in Sempai for her breasts and her other attributes. The sixth episode in particular has him take advantage of hypnotism to get Sempai to do whatever he wanted. A really shallow guy that is.

Sempai is funny with her stage fright, but this also tends to get in the way. She is greatly passionate about magic, which isn't bad...but whenever she tries to recruit new members to the club, she comes off as annoying. Especially because there is no sign of her getting over her stage fright. It is something that continually gets in the way of progress. I understand that's a part of the joke -- she performs better when she isn't in front of anyone else -- but it quickly stops being funny quickly.

Saki is a big-breasted gyaru girl who does street performances. From the looks of it, she seems that she'll be set up as a rival of Sempai's. There's nothing to her aside from the fact that she has a disturbing crush on her obese little brother. Just her practically foaming from the mouth when thinking about her brother is unsettling. Then there is Sempai's older sister...Sister....who is an airhead who loves to tease her little sister and offers to be the Magic Club's advisor (she's mdoerately a good character), and Madara who is the club president of the Chemistry Club who takes a disliking for Sempai to the point that she loathed having the scientific tricks she does be equated to the stage magic that Sempai does. For the most part, all the characters are defined by one trait no more, no less.

Overall, Magical Sempai is a slightly below average series that if you love ecchi humor, I'm positive you'll have a good time with this one. Each episode is comprised of small segments that run for 12 minutes, so it's not too much of a burden to watch. But know that you are getting exactly what you'd
