I remember way back then when The Magic Tree House Series actually got me hooked on to reading. I had over 20 books (probably more) in my bookshelf. So when I discovered they made an anime almost a decade since the last time I read one of books, I was really surprised. Watching this series, I couldn't help but have the nostalgia come over me.

Characters: We got Jack, a bookworm of a sort, who doesn't have much confidence in himself. Annie, the courageous little sister who seems to have a good connection with animals. and Morgan Le Fey, an enchantress from Camelot who is Merlin's sister. They're not exactly SPECIAL, but what can you expect, this is aimed at kids.

Story: The story is based off 3 books from the first arc of the book series + 1 book from another arc. Then there was a mix of the problem from the first 2 arcs of the book series. It really worked out for them. There are parts that made me cringe a little though cause of how Morgan said she did not know the obvious solution of the problem, but I kind of think it was more to test Jack and Annie. Was the story deep and groundbreaking? No, just really simple for children like I expected, since it IS based off a kids book series.

Art: I liked it. Animation looked pretty, though when they showed Annie crying...it looked a little odd. I liked Morgan's design a lot.

Sound: I'm not too great in judging the sound, but....the voice actors were good at least. They fit the characters well.

If you don't want to know the very basic of the plot don't read pass this:


Morgan was turned in to a rat by Merliin. Annie and Jack find mouse-Morgan and follow her to a tree house. The tree house is full of books. The power of the tree house is that it can take you to the world/time in the book by pointing to a book and saying you want to be there. Annie and Jack have to find 4 medallions, to turn Morgan back to normal, in different time eras using the power of the tree house to get to each destination.
