Characters: cliche and mainly made to pander into stereotypes. Let's not talk about how terrible the villains are. It felt like no one was even trying to be interesting.
Story: most of it is dead obvious, but the way the real world mashes up with the magical world is interesting enough for me to give it a 5. Political intrigue does ensue, sidelined by cheesy plot, fan service and pointless shenanigans trying to make up for the bad characterisation. The romance feels forced for the most part.
If you're looking for something to pass the time while being brain dead, go for it. Perfect for little kids, I suppose?
