Kono Danshi, Mahou ga Oshigoto desu.

To be honest, I started watching this one just cuz it was BL. What I must say first of all - the ART is Amazing! I was left breathless by the emotions solely from animation itself. I could just talk and talk of how great this anime is drawn. I would suggest to watch this one just for that. And yes, the story maybe isn't something new in this genre, but still very warm and gentle, so I loved it. Characters is lovable. Anime is short, but that is maybe plus and minus in one. So just go ahead and have this eye candy for yourself :)

Story: This is has shounen-ai genre, and a short anime (4 mins or so). So, in terms of story, I think this show got a great plot for a short anime. It has the theme, the opening, the problems, the climax, and the solutions. Not just some weird, random story lines. Art: Not the best if you are looking for some great looking guy, since this is shounen-ai. But, I do love how they do the background. It has some oil or water colours feelings, and simply gorgeous to be seen. It was kind of weird to see the movement/animation though, but still refreshing to see something sodifferent compare to others. Sound: Not too many background sound, since this was a short anime. But, I do like the ending song though. Character: Just like the story, for me, this anime has the best character descriptions and development for a short anime. Both characters got clear personalities. And character development between two main characters were developed pretty good from the problems, climax, and solutions. Enjoyment: To be honest, it was quite entertaining for me, even though it was short anime with only 4 episodes. But, I feel satisfied watching it, and glad it wasn't disappointing or just some random short anime without story line. Overall: Great. You can try watching it, it wouldn't be hurt especially with such a short time and episodes. For me, this was the first short anime that I came to like in terms of plotting. And oh yea, don't forget that I love the art (despite the character faces, pst).

I'm going to be honest and say that the reason I gave this show a 6 and not a 5 was only because of the shounen ai elements on it. Story: 4 There was something lacking on this, maybe the fact that it seems so rushed, which is something to be expected since it has only 4 episodes with 7 minutes each. However I have seen the studio do much better with less time. The fact that the events happen so quickly doesn't really give you time to feel anything for the characters. Art: 8 As always the studio does a great job with the backgrounds and the generalart. If you have seen any other shounen-ai animes from them I can safely assure you that the art is just as pretty as in any other of their works. Even though there's a certain amount of dark colors (since the anime as a lot of scenes at night). The magic themes on the anime were beautifully made. Since the characters barely move it's a plus to have pretty backgrounds. Sound: 6 You focus exactly on what you need to focus since the background sounds aren't annoying or useless. Plus the voice actors made a good job. Characters: 6 We have two characters: Kashima (the one who works to much and doesn't have any interest in love) and Utsumi (the kind and accepting characters that falls in love with our main character). It's all very cliché really but at least there's some character developing happening. Enjoyment: 6 It's a short anime that you should definitely watch if you want something with a good ending and that will make you feel happy at the end. However if you are looking for a good plot maybe you should look for something different. Overall: 6
