Mahoutsukai Tai! (TV)

First things first. My "reviews" system is explained on a blog entry. Which can be found through my profile.
------
Both OVA and TV review
-----

✦Story
Very classic magic school Anime. Witches, spells, oldschool stereotypes and the whole general feel is pretty oldschool. I did like the style, but it probably has aged really bad for my taste.

Anyhow, I felt that OVA story was more intriguing whilst TV series became oddly very dull. It did add in sense of mystery and some quirks, but the whole way how it was built was simply boring. As episodes passed, the more and more I started fast-forwarding. It simply felt lifeless to ... watch.

✦Art & Sound
Art/animation was good enough. As for sound, I did notice quite some soundtracks and OP/ED was also quite nice.

✦Character
I felt that characters had nice stereotypes and their interaction was most of the time quite entertaining. But as time passed, I got really worn out by their whole character.

Sawanoguchi was really cute oldschool moeblob. Found her adorable and probably liked her the most.
Then we have straight-man act character, a loose model that likes to run around with men.

And 2 main guy characters were sort of a pervy comedy duo. Whereas of the characters is comedic perv and other one is bishounen homosexual. So yeah, it made a good comedy material. Considering how of the guys imagines pervy stuff and gets lost in his fantasy world thinking about girls, whilst the homo kinda breaks that fantasy apart in humoric sense.

Aside that we have few noticeable side-characters and some classy stereotypes. But aside that characters felt linear and eventually exhausting. But in the end, they were enjoyable enough.

✦Enjoyment & Overall
I just cannot explain any better than it probably aged badly for me. It had lot of "classic" elements I really liked, but all together it felt really dull and just simply ash-ilike.

But OVA's were surely more enjoyable. So go check out OVA's as they are prequel anyways. And depending how much you like OVA's, expect the series being worse. That will help you as the viewer to decide whenever to bother touching TV series or not.

Average says 5.5, but this one I don't feel like praising. Thus 5 overall.
