Magical Sempai, is the other short-form anime for this summer season of anime. Again, I went in with limited expectations, considering the fact that it was short form. I actually preferred this anime to Sounan Desu Ka, because this felt more like a comic relief anime than anything else. It did a decent job of not taking itself too seriously, or trying to be more than it really was.

Story: Well, Sounan Desu Ka actually had more of a story than this, albeit, not much more. Magical Sempai has a school magic club, which is struggling, due to a lack of students being interested in joining the club. Eventually Assistant Kun, and two others later, join the school magic club, and this show follows the events that take place in the club. They come in the forms of mini-stories, which there were generally 4 or 5 of them in each episode.

Art: Now, I give the art a pretty high mark, because, again, I think they did a good job of recognizing what kind of anime they were making, and worked to their advantages. It also helps that Magical Sempai is definitely a waifu. They did a good job of expressing Magical Sempais hopefullness, and Assistant Kuns dismay on a regular basis. They had a healthy mix of actual character art, and cute chibby characters and UwU faces. Again, they didn't take themselves too seriously.

Sound: The OP was nice, I didn't notice anything lacking in terms of voice acting or sound effects.

Characters: Despite the fact that Magical Sempai, and Assistant Kun were never actually formally introduced with their actual names, the characters were fairly charming. The dynamic between Assistant Kun and Sempai were great, and the added dynamics later, between Saki and her brother, made for some entertaining episodes.

Enjoyment: To be fair, who doesn't enjoy a good sexual innuendo? This anime is full of them, and paired with the constant Ecchi/Fan Service, it was fairly enjoyable to watch. That's not to mention, that Magical Sempai, is absolutely out of her mind, and there were several situations I found myself laughing at.

Overall: I give it a 7/10. Again, I find short-form animes hard to judge, because I personally, don't consider them real animes. It's hard to judge something that intentionally doesn't really have much of a story, or any depth. So, my rating here comes strictly based on how much I enjoyed watching the show week to week.
