Glasslip is one of those anime that has a lot of potential to be great but ends up only mediocre. The artwork is amazingly good, and even the characters are enjoyable to watch in the beginning. But after a few episodes you begin to feel like your just being strung along with no real conclusion ever coming. I will admit that each episode has a way of sucking you in and making you anticipate that just maybe some clue as to what is going on will be revealed. But by the end of each episode you are still left with more ... questions than answers. If the creators of the anime had some sort of deep meaning that we were supposed to understand then it got lost some where along the way. In conclusion I would only recommend this anime to someone that has absolutely nothing else to watch.

Witch Craft Works is a magical fantasy anime that may lack a bit in the area of plot development, it still excels in overall presentation. The story is about a high school boy, Takamiya, who has his seemingly peaceful high school existence interrupted by Kagari, the schools smart and beautiful "princess". Originally he laments about having to sit next to her in class which makes him both envied and ignored. Then one day he is attacked by a girl who is a witch and Kagari swoops in to save him revealing that she also is a witch. This is the beginning ... of a bizarre story about witches and their fights to retrieve the power that lies hidden within Takamiya.

Bizarre fight scenes, outrageous looking characters, and the secret dead pan ways that Kagari shows her love towards Takamiya make this a fun anime to watch. Throw in a "bro-con" little sister witch and you can't ask for much more. It is true that the overall plot of the story just starts to come around when the anime ends, but that is typical of most animes based on mangas. The first season is never long enough to answer all the viewers questions about the story and leaves you wondering if they will ever make a second or if this is to get you to go read the manga.

Overall I think this was typical of a J.C.Staff anime, nothing complicated, just fun.
