Well, "Magical Witch Punie-chan" isn't a typical comedy/parody anime.
Or not completly typical, at least. The setting is, as usual, a run-off-the-mill high school the only distinction of which is Punie-chan, a witch sent from the Magical Kingdom to Earth to allow her to inherit the throne. Punie isn't really discreet about her unearthly abilities, which include not only magic, but also knowledge of martial arts (and stuff).
The whole humour of the anime revolves around violence and fighting. They're different from the ones seen in "Dokuro-chan" series, though, since Punie deals with her opponents in a completly different way. What's the whole point in this anime ... is watching some generic characters actually fight each other hand to hand. Additionaly there's a slight amount of more typical anime humour, like, ehm, boobie jokes, for instance.
The characters are, as you may've guessed, archetypical. Some try, however, to break the mould and by them I mean Punie's sisters and Paya, who have a dark side to their cute appearance, but only for comedic purpouse. Character development is non-existent, on the other hand, the numer of episodes doesn't allow much time for it.
To sum up, "Magical witch Punie-chan" would be quite an average anime but for it's humour, which really made it worth to watch. If you disagree, well, it's only about 80 minutes and I'm sure there are longer series you'd despise much more.
