There’s also the “plot” which is really the reason most people probably picked up this series.

Magic is a street performance, after all.īut, that’s not the only form of plot this series has. And while the leaders of these two halves won’t admit it, they both do essentially the same thing. In order to stay afloat, the magic club is eventually forced to merge with the equally small street performance club. But she was already using a room anyway, so it’s not like being official matters all that much. She doesn’t really care if the magic club is official or not, other than the fact that as an official club she gets a room to practice in. Instead, the club president just wants to perform magic. However, most other series with this initial setup follow our main characters as they revive the club and save their school from doom and destruction. There’s a school magic club that doesn’t have enough members to survive, but its crazy “club” president refuses to let it die. The plot of Magical Sempai is fairly straightforward. If those genres typically aren’t for you, then you probably won’t get much from this series. If you like comedy and ecchi series I think this is definitely one to try. But I have to say, for what it is, it was good - not second season coming soon good, but good. You may recognize them from series like Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches and Hanebado! Overall they make some pretty decent anime, but nothing that really stands out - this is no exception.Īnd with tags like “comedy,” “ecchi,” “school,” and “seinen,” you really shouldn’t go into this series expecting to find your next 10/10 anime. This series is an adaptation of a manga and was created by the studio LIDENFILMS. The reason full-length episodes would have been better is simply because more skits could have been squeezed into each episode. Each episode is broken up into multiple, standalone-ish skits. That said, it’s not as if the half-length episodes really hurt the series in any way. And I do think this is a series which would have benefited from having full-length episodes. But unfortunately, the episodes were only 13 minutes long, not the full 24. Magical Sempai (Tejina-senpai / 手品先輩) was one of the better anime series of the Summer 2019 season.
