Now I'm a sucker for anime like this, with the magic and all the drama, it really is one of my favourite types.
I really did love idea of having a magic school and the way the use the CAD (Casting Assistant Device) to use magic.
The conflict between the two groups, the course 1 and the course 2 students in the first arc because it starts off the anime with a load of drama and I loved that.
I also loved Tatsuya, I'm not really sure why, It's just the way he didn't really give a shit about anything and well I liked that.
I loved the characters as well, they were funny and lightened up the show when it got rather serous at times.
The animation really was pretty as well with how they showed the magic and just how everything was presented it really made me swoon. If an anime had pretty animation I will be on it quicker than you can say animation :P
I have watched this anime like 3 times because I really, really liked and each time I was hooked.
I liked the fact it was split into three separate arcs because it made the story a lot clearer and easier to follow.
My favourite arc was the second one because it was quite drama filled and you really got to see all the characters potential and there was a lot of magic use meaning I got to see lots of pretty animation :D
Not going to lie the relationship between Tatsuya and Miyuki did freak me out a tiny bit but I got used to it by the end so I guess it's not really a dislike just a little something that weirded me out.
Oh yeah and that ending also frustrated me because you suddenly get all this information about Tatsuya and its not fully explained, there is also the fact that it was ended in a cliff hanger that gave a chance for another season even though there probably wont be one.
I also guess again I would have like a tiny bit more back story, while there was a bit of it and hints at it it still wasn't fully explained which leaves me wondering about it and it's annoying.
SO this was one of my favourite anime so far and I hope other people love it as much as I do
