![]() It wasn’t so much that Assistant didn’t react to Sempai’s antics it was that his energy levels were the polar opposite to hers. I love me a good straight man routine, and Assistant nailed that. To counter Sempai’s forcefulness, this series had Assistant, who could just absorb the insanity. The second she had eyes on her, though, nothing would go her way. Therefore, when you mix stop-for-nothing ambition and crippling stage fright, you get Sempai, who was a decent magician when no one was looking. With a natural desire to perform, she was always on stage, and when things went wrong, she refused to let the trick die. She was enthusiastic about magic and did put a lot of hard work into her act. With Sempai, she was high-energy and gung-ho. However, this series went all-in on that one trait. That was the best part.”Įveryone in Magical Sempai was based on a single personality trait. I wouldn’t argue with anyone if they said, “This show’s characters were one-note.” Where I might differ is by countering with, “Exactly. Magical Sempai ’s straightforwardness was only part of the equation, though. Not because it was a surprising gem, but because it worked, plain and simple. It would not surprise me in the slightest if Magical Sempai managed to obtain a second season. Heck, there wasn’t even any fan fair to indicate the anime had reached its final episode. This series never bothered to delve into the personal lives of its characters. If I were to narrow down this show’s success to a single element, I would have to give credit to its simplicity. Getting right to the heart of the matter, I enjoyed Magical Sempai far more than I ever expected. But even if those concepts do bother you (which, if they do, you made a gross miscalculation when you decided to watch), there was still a considerable amount of charm to this show to have it be more than ridiculous boob physics and penis jokes. TLDR: A rushed-pace fan-service centered show that’s really missing an ingredient.As long as you go into this series knowing fanservice and slapstick will be its mainstays, then you’ll most likely find it to be a lot of fun. I suppose it’s better than drawing the fan-service scenes out for an awkwardly long amount of time like in Monogatari or Index, but if that’s your show’s selling point, at least do it well. And for a show that only has fanservice as a draw, it was done in such a rushed way it felt like that pervy kid in Junior High quickly and embarrassedly showing you some clippings from a Victoria’s Secret catalogue and then hiding them quickly to get a reaction. The comedy is phoned in, the characters are phoned in, and every scene feels rushed. As the premise states, the entire point of this show is that the ridiculously large-breasted sempai (they spell it with an M in this show) flubs doing magic tricks and she winds up in compromising positions, be it panty-shots, a wet shirt, or having her clothes come off for some other reason. Either way, this show really didn’t have any redeeming qualities. Although, Kaguya-sama: Love is War is the animeme reigning champ and that show was stellar, so it’s not a good litmus test. ![]() TheAwersome’s Thoughts: This is what I get for deciding to watch a show because I see it used as meme templates frequently. Despite having little interest in a club run by an incapable magician, the freshman finds himself involved as a new member, experiencing all sorts of awkward moments with his eccentric mentor. Suffering from stage fright that causes her to slip up in her acts, she tends to end up in the most embarrassing situations. He then comes across the magic clubroom, and inside is a cute upperclassman practicing her magic tricks. Premise: Starting his new term at Tanenashi High School, an unmotivated freshman searches for a club that requires minimal participation to suit his needs. TheAwersome Rating: 4.0 / 10 (Like a bad web comic) Age-Appropriateness: 17+ (Sexual humor, partial nudity, mild language)
