Maebashi Witches Review — A-

A bunch of misfits are witches in training.

This was essentially Milky Holmes meets Madoka Magicka. Which I was 100% here for.

Great sense of humor, but also some surprisingly thoughtful episodes? All of the arcs were good. Some excellent character development and writing that was unconstrained by convention, brutally honest, but always kind, and all the better for it. I especially loved the final arc and the last twist in their fight with the final boss. Great response to Madoka and not what anyone was expecting but it sure did work.

In a world where our politics are going to shit, and nasty nasty anime like Shield Hero and Healer Hero are trendy, I really admire a show like this that takes all these difficult situations and tackles them head on with love,  kindness and authenticity.

Storytelling – A – Thoughtful and insightful.
Voice – A – Thematically super fun.
Characters – A – Superb.
Attention Grab – A – Flew by.
Production – B – Looks good.
Overall – A-

RecommendationsMilky Holmes, Madoka
