Kendža no mago

It is a shame that the few glimpses of some interesting ideas in this show were only glimpses as almost every one of them was completely underdeveloped, and almost everything came across very badly. I have even read one review which said that this is kind of like an animated fantasy version of Avengers. I can somehow understand how the reviewer came up with this, although for me personally, it is a bit like comparing diamond and graphite, because although both are kinds of carbon... People wanted this to be a cool show, however, a lot of the scenes that should have been cool look ridiculous. The comic interludes that are supposed to relieve the cool tension are often embarrassing, and what am I supposed to think of a team that does not even believe in its own brand name? I thought the main villain and his girlfriend were the most interesting characters in this show (and they were the ones who changed my overall opinion after the last episode) and the whole emerging race of Demonoids was probably the only thing that interested me more. The main male protagonist is totally over-hyped, someone has to go on about him a minimum of two times every episode, and the fact that he “does not know when to stop” is supposed to be funny, even though it is not. The romantic subplot is going to be the main reason why harem fans will quit this show, and because of how dumbed-down it is, so will many others. Though then again, it is still better than Twilight... As for the rest of the good characters, I bet you are going to forget most of them within a week, or else - I am going to forget them within a week... Oh well, and yet with a little imagination, better protagonists, and a bit of quality workmanship, it could have been maybe even an overall decent average (because some of the fight scenes looked pretty good), however, according to my own evaluation I am awarding it 3.5/10.
