Mixed Feelings
Here's little critique I made a bit into season three after not being able to take holding in my growing frustration, so obvious spoliers (They're very light spoilers which won't necessarily ruin anything)

Bit of critique, They seem to make a point of making it a cliche of Louise nearly every episode saying something along the lines of “Oh Saito! Why me? Why do you choose me?” It makes it hard to watch at points. Since he’s a teenager it should seem plausible he would act like one instead of instantly obeying her from the begining. And even at this point when he seems to have much more freedoms he continues the cliche. “Because you chose me of course!” I suppose it would help if we knew about his background when he lived in Tokyo, but honestly “I’m not an aristocrat, I’m not worth anything” has been said several times too many within the span of just a few episodes. Thevshow would be much better if he, while still Louise’s famiiar, was able to form some sort of relationship with other characters without being interupted everytime because they feel that Louise has to be in every scene. She’s a bit of an obnoxious character. I understand she is supposed to be a tsundere character, but that doesn’t excuse the fact the only relationshio building is forced between the two charactes. Tabitha seemed to be an interesting character, her alone could make an entire anime series herself from just her background story showed so far.

Characters:

Almost each and every character that needed to have it was given a decent background or at the very least some recognizable trait. For the most part none of the characters were entirely obnoxious. Except for Louise, everyone had what screen time was needed.
Louise is a very cliche character, which is fine because it's a good cliche. It's everything else that's bad. Whomever made the series decided they reaaaaally liked Louise and decided to stuff her in nearly every scene, which wouldn't be so bad if every scene with her wasn't the same thing. Either an explosion because Saito was being a perv. A kissy scene with Saito because "Don't leave me Saito", or in general something that just doesn't sit right with me.

Saito is interesting and I'll keep his short. Very cliche, boy meets magic girl by summoning, falls in love with girl and says he'll never betray his feelings for her. And does it every other episode. If it wasn't for Louise getting stuffed in every scene he may have been to actually be able to develop a relationship with at least ONE character. Tnis ruined his character development, as character development is done best with multiple characters at once which can't be done if his master is placed in every nook a cranny of the series.

As for my final review I though it was average, it definately gave me something to do after watching Toradora, which means it's not a complete failure.
