This is my first review on My Anime List, so I hope it's good!
~~
Magic Kaito 1412. A masterpiece anime, one of the first few animes I ever watched, and I finished it in January 2017. I believe it is the second anime I've completed, behind Sword Art Online. I was bored and had nothing else to do, so I was watching SAO, when a family member came up and suggested some new ones for me, those animes including Magic Kaito 1412, Detective Conan, and also Assassination Classroom, if I remember correctly. Out of all three of those recommendations, MK1412 was the one I enjoyed the

most. I watched one episode of each other anime, but for MK1412 I watched until about the middle of Episode 3.
I loved this anime. It's plot was simple, and I loved the interesting characters, beautiful music, and stunning art.
Story:
The story is rather simplistic. Although the plot remains kind of the same for all of the episodes (Kaito goes somewhere, steals the gem, etc.), the charm behind this simple story line is how it's presented. Each way is unique, and I think everyone will always look forward to the different ways that Kaito is going to steal the gem.
Art/Animation:
I personally feel like the art and animation in this show is beautiful! The openings are absolutely stunning, and the actual episodes are as well, one of my favorite epiosdes in terms of art and animation being Episode 21, where Kid teleports. Even if it's extremely short or small moments, there's always something that stands out to me. MK1412 has absolutely amazing art/animation.
Sound:
The music in this anime is absolutely perfect. The opening and ending songs are perfect (Ai no Scenario=perfect opening), and the OST is stunning. I got the OST as a gift one time, and I listen to it whenever I need some good mood music. (My favorite tracks are "Magical Flight" and "You'll see the KID"). The right music always plays at the right time, making this anime all the more amazing.
Characters:
Kaito is the definition of a perfect anime character. He's got just the right amount of everything that makes a great anime character. He's got the humor, good story, etc. Aoko is a perfect love interest for him. She's so adorable, and I ship her and Kaito like tomorrow! Personally, I don't like Hakuba that much, but I'm okay with Akako. I personally wish the two of them got more screen time. Personally, I feel this also for the mysterious evil organization, as they only appear in a total of 4-5 episodes out of all 24. But overall, the characters are great! Characters are always a big part of why animes are great!
Enjoyment: 10/10
I mean, who doesn't love magic? Kaito Kid brings it to the next level! Personal favorites for me have always been his seemingly impossible tricks like walking on air and teleportation. There's something for everyone! There's plenty of comedy packed in between Kid's stunning magic tricks, and although not as frequent, there's a good amount of romance to keep you hooked. (Kaito and Aoko are my OTP!) Although at times I felt like some parts of an episode were a little bit slow, I still loved it.
Overall: 10/10
MK1412 was a masterpiece! I highly recommend it to anyone who is brand new to anime. It's a perfect starting point, as it is easy to understand, and it's highly entertaining as well. Everything about it is amazing, and I so hope that a season 2 will be coming soon.
