I'm glad I had the chance to watch this when I was visiting a friend. I had always meant to see it--it's been a staple of anime canon for ages--but just had never gotten around to it.
This is one of the few anime with a Petite Ditz as the main character where I did not spend most of the show wanting said ditz to choke. Sae is genuinely adorable and lovable, everything most anime heroines aspire to be. Her over-the-top klutziness is endearing as opposed to hackneyed and grating. She pulls off the old school "Love Conquers All" magical girl beautifully. She seems GENUINE.

Teenagers with magical powers that go to a normal style school to learn it, what a concept eh?
Mahou Tsukai Tai (Magical Users Club) is a 6 episode OVA about a group of school members that also study magic, yet oddly enough it is provided by the school itself, in the form of a club! I am not sure if it could truly be considered a "magical girl" title (at least not in the traditional sense anyway) since there are no transformations or any kind of staple magical attack. As far as the story goes, it centers around a mysterious giant bell that has oddly appeared from ... Aug 30, 2021
I watched the Mahoutsukai Tai OVAs (The 6-episode series released in 1996, AKA "magic user's club"). Pros and cons (in my opinion) are listed below:
Pros: >Some genuinely funny gags that were worth a laugh here and there. >Cute characters and cute character designs. >Surprisingly really well animated. Seriously, the visuals for this were great and looked like a ton of effort went into them.
