STORY:
A perfectly content guy lives a normal life in a normal way who sits next to the school idol is ignored usually. This is until she becomes talkative to him after his life nearly ends as it turns out she is a witch. The Workshop Witches and the Tower Witches whom both have goals of either peace or careless destruction to gain what they want are after the main protagonist since he is effectively possessed with great power.
The story has many tropes we like to see with this being unusual as the male is more or less helpless with the powerful female cast.
The story plays out with the now sort of couple being attacked and defeating those who wish harm on them. Some fights are easier than others and many accept terms when facing defeat to live somewhat peacefully.
It all reaches a climax in this series which is somehow not categorised as a comedy when it is funny and random at times. Seeing a Churchill tank just sat in the school as people go about their business for example. This is not a Girls und Panzer spin off.
ART:
The art style used is very good when down on the ground. When going for large scale conflict that involves giant teddies or whatever battling the quality of the surrounding does drop to almost cut and paste buildings. This however is absolute fine as it stops the eyes from looking away from where they should be.
The characters are all very well done with a lot of cute girls in clear style of tropes. Even if it is odd to see girls with real cat ears on their heads but also human ears, it is nevertheless very cute.
SOUND:
The OP is pretty standard of the industry for a generic opening sequence which admittedly has some drops of quality. The ED however is a very fun style to hear especially when combined with the animation of the girls of the KMM gang in a torture like scenario.
The general sound used throughout is fitting and well balanced with the music being played.
The voices of the characters are well chosen. (I watched in Japanese with English subtitles). When a girl who looks like she should have a cute voice does have one it is nice to see.
CHARACTER:
Our main two protagonists Kagari, Ayaka and Takamiya, Honoka are nicely done through the series with plenty of development. Where in this case Honoka is the weaker male he is some what innocent in many actions especially with his fear to kiss Ayaka on the lips.
The little sister Takamiya, Kasumi is a very enjoyable Bro-Con to watch, which is made so by how she denies being one even though everyone can see it and her habits of sharing the bed with him and the admission of being his future wife and having three children together.
The KMM gang are a nice addition to getting a good amount of screen time as they bring a lot to the party. They fill various tropes with Kuraishi, Tanpopo being my favourite in that she has a sort of anger about her even though she is just a normal girl at the end of the day.
The rest of the characters are slotted in very well and you can be surprised at times who suddenly turns out to be a witch unexpectedly.
ENJOYMENT:
The show is very enjoyable to have watched with many moments of humour. The random placement of things around like mentioned can allow hilarity to ensue. The story also is somewhat serious whilst maintaining in a light-hearted way too. The characters really do make this show for when it is serious it is serious but when it changes it can be sudden and unexpected.
In Episode 12 in the first half is an absolute epic moment made by the music.
OVERALL:
In the end this is a show that is absolutely worth its score. It is funny, serious, emotional and just fun to watch. I watched it from start to finish in a day because I just could not stop watching. It is sad that it does end, however. The manga is on my list to read because it is supposed to be even better. The OVA separately reviewed is also worth a watch even with a drop-in quality overall that is expected from an OVA however.
