This show has my favorite art style this season (and possibly the whole year).

Hopefully it'll get a dub eventually!

One thing I appreciate about this show is that it doesn't take the predictable route of Kurumi using her magic powers to save the day in the first episode and proving everyone wrong instantly but it's taking the time to show her learning alongside her classmates and she still hasn't successfully cast a spell yet.

Quote:
Although this is a magic school story (not a magical girl story, because Kurumi doesn't transform; yes, I will die on this semantic hill), it also seems interested in exploring artificial class differences.
I would disagree with this as there's a lot of classic shows that are considered magical girls but don't have transformations especially in the witchy genre.
