Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo is a high school *romance, with craaaaazy supernatural powers and 0% harem. It's a good time, and I enjoyed it.
Story: 8/10
The story is pretty good, in my opinion. It's focused on its central goal of building the romance with the powers playing a role in moving this along. It is at its heart a romance story, not a supernatural one. There's also the added benefit of completely avoiding the harem trap. I feel like they have to rush the witches, though, given their twelve episode run.
Art: 7/10
The art's nothing particularly stand-out, and is overall pretty generic. The character designs are
fine, with each character standing out from one another pretty easily. Pantyshots inbound, though.
Sound: 8/10
The voice actors are great, the music's alright, but WOO the opening is awesome. Seriously, I love the opening, I listen to it on my own all the time.
Character: 7/10
The characters are all fine, and there's not TOO much troping (though the main character is an idiot, and the student council rules the school). We don't get too much development of the other witches, though, which is tied in to the rush that the episodes required.
Enjoyment: 9/10
I've become something of a sucker for romance anime, so I was pretty hype for the entire thing.
Overall: 8/10

Alice to Zouroku is another "young girls with crazy powers" type anime, similar to Black Bullet (which I have yet to watch, but need to get around to). I personally had a good time watching it, though there were a few things I wasn't fully behind.
Story: 7/10
The story itself starts off pretty basic; an escape from a secret laboratory and super power fights. This carries on for the first half of the show. There's strong points to this story type, though. There's an identifiable antagonist, reasonable threat, mysterious origins (although I must say, there was that off-hand mention of experiments being done by the organization.
Did I misunderstand that, miss something, or do they never actually cover what that was or satisfy that point at all), all that good stuff. About half way through it switches tone, and a new "antagonist" is introduced. I feel like the pacing was fine for the time that it was given, but complete plot switches are always a little disorienting for me.
Art: 8/10
The art in the show is fine. The battle scenes are general well animated, and the character design is fine (feels a bit like Yuyushiki). If I had to criticize anything, it's the greenscreen-esque background that they use inside the car, which still moves even when the car isn't moving. It's pretty strange. Also, the show makes me want to buy a Snickers and get a burger from Carl's Jr.
Sound: 7/10
I'm rather fond of the opening of the show, and the voice actors all do a pretty good job. There's nothing particularly memorable about the in-show OST, however.
Character: 7/10
The children in the show for the most part actually act like children, once they're done acting like god-like beings. Side characters are mostly bland, though. Not enough grandpa, either.
Enjoyment: 9/10
I had a great time watching this show, and felt compelled to continue on at the end of each episode. What can I say, it was great.
Overall: 8/10
