Preliminary (Unknown/12 eps)
Spoiler
I feel sorry for anyone who walked into this anime without reading any of the reviews first and had high expectations for it because they're in for a BIG disappointment.

Story- I think the plot is decent. From the four episodes I saw, I got the typical "the protagonist is the chosen one who will fulfill the prophesy and save the world" kind of vibe. Of course he gets mixed up with someone with their own issues in a world unknown to him and then he accidentally becomes special. That's all fine and dandy, but the problem is that the story is rushed and sloppy. They didn't even take the time to properly introduce the main characters or give a decent view of the school they were attending much less the town they lived in (and it gets disregarded after the first few minutes anyway). The main characters get pulled out of nowhere and suddenly involved in a battle with the stranger Takashi (the protagonist) meets and then (spoiler alert) they all become magicians. This all happened in the first episode. By the 4th episode you could have gotten the impression that they've already fought in countless battles together. Takashi and the girl he meets suddenly have a 10 episode bond.

Art- It's nice, but they don't give proper visuals of their surroundings. Sure you'll know that they're in a school, but you'll have no idea what it looks like, where it's located and then they just skip ahead to wherever it is that the characters end up. Somehow Takashi just knows where Mui is in a world he's never navigated around before. Basically, there isn't even enough to leave to the imagination.

Sound- The voice actors seemed appropriate to me and I liked the the opening and ending theme music. The back tracks were all typical and boring. Seriously, I predicted what they would all sound similar to before they started.

Character- Their personalities are pretty clear, but I can't say much because I only saw 4 episodes.

Enjoyment- I was really hyped up in the beginning and actually enjoyed the first episode, but then they went ahead and made everything cliche and mediocre.

Overall- It's a 4, with this kind of plot it could have been great with its own unique twists. The concepts of magic like the different types that exists and how things became the way they are today was well explained, but they just didn't bring it to the next level I was expecting it to reach.
