    A wonderful anime

    A wonderful anime with fantasy&comedy.loved it very much!

    Sweet Chemistry and Magical Action

    Witch Craft Works is a delightful anime balancing action, comedy, and romance. Dual protagonists Takamiya and Kagari shine, with Kagari's subtle growth from ice queen to softie being a highlight. The supporting cast and world-building are impressive, making the magical realm immersive. Pacing can be slow, and music's forgettable, but animation holds up well even in 2024.

    The movie nicely ties up loose ends, providing closure. While not complex, Witch Craft Works is an enjoyable watch. Takamiya's determination and Kagari's quiet strength make them relatable. Their chemistry is undeniable, making romance sweet and believable.

    A solid 7/10 for this hidden gem. Recommended for fans of magical action, sweet romances, and slice-of-life stories. Watch for Kagari's subtle smiles - they're priceless!

    Why seriously why???

    This series is really good.i Love the witch stuffs and magic.so i thought to give this a try despite its low rating and honestly i dont regret watching this masterpiece. The art style is good, characters are super loving and the storyline is intriguing.i love the chemistry between the protagonist and the main heroine.and there are so many things there which aren't described fully particularly.maybe they were keeping it for season 2. I dont know.but looking at its popularity and low rating i dont think they will come up with a season 2.i really love this series and i hope they continue it. Guys give it some love so we can get a season 2. I really want a happy ending in this series.

    Honestly i am amazed by the rating

    Its a disappoint that now a days people cant appreciate a decent work.and this series is the example.i mean say me where this series made fault that it has only 6.7 rating. Guys give it some love and raise its popularity.its about witches and magic.and i like the power system very much. Its funny,kind,actionpack, emotional at the same time.its summary is about how a witch always protecting the protagonist from the evil witches.evil witches are always trying to capture the protagonist because he has some hidden power within him and they are trying to acquire it by which world can be destroyed. This is the story Of witch craft works. Definitely go for it, you will not regret a second that you choose to watch this series.i am waiting for season 2 but i dont see any hope there because of its low popularity. Guys Give it some love.

    A humorous and entertaining series

    Witch Craft Works is an anime that I knew I was going to enjoy from the very beginning

    The animation quality is astonishing and the opening theme in my opinion is one of the best I've ever listened to.

    The show begins with a very strong pilot following the life of Honoka Takamiya and the most popular girl in his school Kagari Ayaka whom the students adore.

    While the protagonists are fun to watch and their interactions engaging the comedy brought by a few of the shows "villains" really make the series.

    I was reminded of Team Rocket from the Pokemon series in their humorous incompetence.

    Ultimately Witch Craft Works has an interesting premise, a decent plot, very likable and funny characters and a solid opening and closing theme, and unlike some anime it doesn't lose track halfway through the series (i'm looking at you death note and SAO.)

    I definitely recommend watching this anime, I had a lot of fun with it.

    9/10
