What could have been a decent anime ends up feeling like a watered down US children's cartoon.
The story starts out with promise when a young boy named Makoto returns to Tokyo to learn magic under a famous magician whose daughter, Kana, was a childhood friend. The viewer is then treated humorous scene where Kana somehow believed that Makoto was female and is not shocked to find out otherwise. Setting up the stage for what could be humorous sexual tension as the two are destined to be paired to work together in pursing "artifacts" of magic power that are dangerous in the wrong hands.
This never
...
fully materializes as nearly every moment between Makoto and Kana ends with a bland unfunny thud while rest of the plot sluggishly progresses in a broken mess. Over and over you keep hoping for the spark of humor or some kind of connection between the two characters, but it never happens and after a while it begins to feel like something is missing.
Only after investigating the Manga does one confirms that a great deal of content has been excessively censored out. Near the end of the season it would be revealed this show was subject to influence by Funimation and other foreign involvement in Anime "Production Committees". These are essential groups of westerners trying to apply their anti-sexual puritanism and extreme left western political views into Anime.
All of this was further made possible by the unfortunate death of it's creator, Tomohiro Matsu, who must be spinning in his grave to have his work butchered like this.
I can't recommend this Anime for anyone as it's content has been censored and dumbed down to an extreme. What remains is nothing more that a soulless husk.
