Hey folks, this will be a review for Flying witch. There isn't much to cover so this will be brief. It a very relaxing and cute show.

The story revolves around a witch named Makoto, who is a witch. She has come of age, but do to her parents wish to finish school has gone to live with her cousins. Nothing really interesting happens, no real action, or mini plot points. This is both a strength and a weakness for the show imo. It creates this relaxing and non intrusive mood to the show. However it also seems to be alot of missed potential. Characters are introduced, situations are created, magic is discussed and used, and not only does nothing come from it but it also never seems to get brought back up.

The art was very pretty and colorful. The soundtrack is very catchy, and even though not usually my taste is now on my playlist.

The characters were interesting enough, but like I said above nothing comes from it. Makoto the young witch who is bad with directions has plenty of personality, but doesn't really shine. Other witches are introduced and shelved and only brought out for a quick glance here and there. The cousin and the rest of the family only seemed to exist for small comic relief.

I enjoyed this show overall. However pure slice of life shows like this are not to my taste. This one in particular is particularly dry do to it having zero drive. No characters stand out, the story or even the theme of the show not even remotely discussed, no mini events take place...etc. Normally this would make me rate a show poorly but it did a great job in being an escape that I think it hit what it was trying aim for.

TLDR: Nothing to the show really. Watch if you like dryer than normal slice of life shows. It is cute and relaxing, also has great art and soundtrack.
