This anime was utterly AWFUL for the first bit. I couldn't stand it, and sometimes I wanted to teleport myself to the world of Mermaid Melody and kill them all. I do admit that it got better, good enough for me to at least be ableto stand them... But if you really want to know, this anime can be summed up in the following words.
Predictable
Cliche
Girly
First off, before you rant at me with all the anger of your heart, let me say this-- it's just a matter of opinion. If you like girly anime where the main character tries to hide her true, magical identity from her crush while still trying to impress him, then this is for you. If you like the shows about a not-so-ordinary girl that goes to school, finds a crush, and tries to protect herself and the world from evil, then yes, this is highly recommended. You need to watch this. The art is decent and sorta cute, and everything is bright and happy.
But if you're like me? Steer very, very, VERY clear of this show. If you're the type who loves deep storylines with unique characters and a very enthralling, difficult puzzle to put together, then spare yourself of this excuse for an anime. The plot is repetitive, predictable, and so very NOT deep. There are no puzzles to piece together, and if there are, it's all spoon-fed to you in the same episode it was introduced.
I may be the type who adores a good horror with a lot of gore, but I'm not a senseless jerk. I like plot, and character development. This show had none of it. It's fine if it's not a horror, but does it have to be a total fail?
Anyway, I'm just stating my opinion. Spare me of arguments, because honestly, this show is just incredibly cliche. It's sooooo stereotypical, like the average magical girl anime. If you like that thing, watch this now. But as I've said before, if you're like me, try to completely erase this title from your mind.
Thankfully, the music isn't all bad. The voices (in the Japanese version, at least [is there even an English version anyway?]) are decent, actually good. The songs are catchy and they will grow on you (probably). Anyway, the sound was the only saving grace of this show, for me at least, and though I've heard THOUSANDS of times better, this was still good.
All in all, this show isn't highly rated in my book, but it's decent enough if you like magical girl and shoujo. I won't say any spoilers, but the ending is decent (though, sort of cliche) and it works with the anime, I guess.
Take a second look at the kind of shows you like to watch, and depending on your opinion, and the things I said in my review, decide if you're interested. If not? Leave. Now. If yes? Watch. Now.
