Story: The story starts very strong and dramatic but after a few episodes it settles in into a normal shounen anime and it becomes a bit repetitive and boring
The main character is a 14 year old boy that is lazy and a delinquent but has a good heart. We observe how he grows up and gets stronger. But so far I have not seen a lot of character development. In his journey he is accompanied with a cute witch called botan and his rival and best friend, a tall delinquent in blue with red hair. From the sideline his love interest watches him. He loves her and she loves him, there is not a lot of romance but the bits you see are quite nice and refreshing. 6/10
Art: Nice 90s aesthetics and handdrawn, I like it a lot. Its fitting for a shounen anime with a mix of seriousness, comedy and friendship. 7/10
Sound: Opening is really nice and I added it to my playlist 8/10
Characters: What I like about the characters that they all seem very energetic and not so emotional dead and sterile. On their own they can seem a bit boring but still likeable, and predictable but their interactions with each other is very nice to observe, unfortunately you dont see a lot of it because most of the time our hero spends his time with talking to forgettable villains. 6/10
Enjoyment: I watch 2-3 episodes then get bored of it and continue watching it feels forced, but after some break I come back to it but I have to admit it is partly because I have already started it and feel I have to finish it, feels somewhat like a chore at times. I might drop it soon because it has over 100 episodes but that does not mean I didnt enjoy it, there are some good parts. But so far I havent dropped it yet. 7/10
In my opinion it is an anime that is good to know about and you will not regret expanding your anime knowledge watching this classic. Especially the first episodes are remarkable and I wont forget them, for the first 3-4 episodes I would give a ten, however...
Overall: 7/10
