This series has some pretty harsh reviews, eh? Well, honestly It's been a good year or so since I last watched it, but I'll give this a try anyway.

Anyway, this series isn't exactly "Great" but it's not exactly that bad either. It was pretty mediocre. I enjoyed it myself, but hey, that's just me.

Gendaoi Mahou follows the story of Morishita Koyomi (I'm not sure if that was it. I think it was) who wants to become a Magician. However, these days, no one uses regular ol' magic anymore, it's all about "Modern Magic" that uses programming, to learn this Koyomi and her friend Kaho become apprentices to Anehara Misa, whiz at Modern Day Magic. Add in a tsundere gal that uses what's now known as "Classical" magic, and you've got this series.

The bad part about this series, for me at least, was that it was so short. I think if they had have made it longer, there's a lot they could have done. The series also starts out pretty confusing, having a time traveling-time skip right from the first episode.

It has Ecchi elements, but wasn't Ecchi heavy. The story was kinda weak, but I still found it entertaining (then again, I find pretty much any anime I watch entertaining) which is ultimately failed by the ending, being so...just ugh.

The characters are what was best about this for me. I found the main cast's interactions with eachother to be humorus and kept me entertained throughout the series. The series also has a great Opening/Ending song, which is probably what entertained me the most.

 

Overall, if you're just looking for a nice, relaxing sort of anime to just take a break and chill with, then I can recomend you this series. If not, give it a try anyway. You might be surprised like I was.

I see it as a cool-off anime to watch between two big ones :P
