This review covers ZnT as a whole (including all 3 seasons), rather than just season 1. For me, I think the feel of this anime was more focused on the adventure and fantasy aspects rather than the comedy and romance (which I was expecting from having Rie Kugimiya cast as the lead...). It was basically Toradora + Harry Potter, but more leaning towards the latter. Maybe I'm not doing a great job analyzing, but also most of the characters either lacked multi-dimensionality, or were simply so cliche as to be boring. It's probably a bad thing that I watched Toradora first; I found myself often subconsciously... See full review
