When u talk about super power shows usually x-men comes to mind right?? well this series tops of in my opinion a very interesting take on the super power genre , it employs a very unique concept , namely Science Vs Magic , not a topic touched many times in animes , but this one anime does it beautifully, having seen the anime i would say i was very satisfied with it.
Story : Well lets me say this first some people say that its arc based story style is not good , let me tell u this anime was based on a very little portion of a very long light novel series 6 were adapted , a total of 22 exist so theirs a lot of story coming later on , this adaption cover the events of when our hero kamijou touma has his first encounter with magic and his difficulties in dealing with it , he is a student of academy city , a city containing espers and leveled from 1 - 5 , with our hero being a level 0 , typical aint it? but his ability has the power to cancel all other abilities , The Imagine Breaker , although not excellent the story still gets 8.5 from me , because it kept me hooked
Characters : Well as we are in the first 6 light novels not many characters get introduced , but out of those who do get introduced they make their mark , i mean misaka mokoto the railgun got so popular
that she even got her own anime adpation (To Aru Kagaku No railgun) , overall a nice blend of nice
characters , cool and dark , powerful and weak , but let me tell u as i have read spoilers of the next volumes , a lot and i mean a lot of new characters make appearence later , some people complain of the character exposition in this anime well this isnt the only anime which has the hero exposition , all
series have them , but some people don't have the patience to sit through that 5 min speech to enjoy the rest of the episode sighh.
Animation : A perfect 10 as it can easily be seen this show had very high production values, so expect
very high level action scenes and fluid animation as this is done by JC staff
Sound : Well i like the openings both of them are good and pleasant to hear and the sound effects throughout the series are nice to listen too .
Encode : Its Taurgis , expect HQ in 60 mb :D
Overall : A very pleasant little series for me which i enjoyed a lot , the story was very immersing and the subtle romance hints very also very good , overall the the animes concept of Science VS magic rocked as it held a lot of potential and they have just opened up the portal now , i believe that this will get a second season look out for it
PS : This isn't the second shana , it only shares voice actors and those also some !! , their is no cheesy romance in it ^ ^
