This story. Man where to start. This story had me wrapped around its little finger.
The characters and the characters those characters play. The story behind them. The depth this went into.
I started this anime thinking it would be a lighthearted comedy about a girl who insists she has magic. A part of me believes she does. In the end, this anime was so deep it made me rethink a lot of things about myself. About the society I live in.
It went from "haha that was cringe-y and funny and cute!" to "I'm not crying you are!"
Story:
The story I gave a 10. It flows well, the characters make sense inside it. There is an actual plot. Rikka's depth and Yuuta's past link well together. Everything ties up nicely with room for a second season (Which I will now watch)
Art:
10 out of 10! In any seen portraying sadness or bottled emotion, was so heart wrenchingly gorgeous. The flow of the movement, the tears, the mannerisms and gestures. everything was so perfectly put together my heart felt like it was about to implode.
Sound:
For me, the sound got a 9. it was beautiful, especially in the scenes where there was music playing in the background. Everything worked well, however I couldn't imagine myself saying "yeah I'd totally buy that on itunes and listen to it." It was still ,however, very nice music.
Character:
Characters were outstanding. I absolutely loved every one. Even smaller characters like Isshiki kun and Kumin. they were minor characters, yet they had their own story within the main plot. One that was adorable and simple. Nothing but a love interest. My favourite character was definitly Rokka and her older sister Touka. All the characters were lovable and easily worked well together. It made sense to see them together. it wasn't one of those groups that make you think "i don't get how someone like that would be with someone like that". I could easily see how they ended up being together all the time.
I thoroughly enjoyed this anime and strongly recommend it to everyone out there who may be reading this.
