Magical Sempai
Tweekums25 September 2019
This anime series is centred on a school boy known only as 'Assistant'; he can't decide what club to join and ends up watching a magic show performed by 'Sempai'... just about everything that can go wrong does as she is too nervous. Afterwards Assistant is invited back to the club room and soon he is Sempai's assistant. Over the course of the series we learn that Sempai can do tricks when alone but in every episode the tricks she tries in front of others go comically wrong. Later of two more students; brother and sister Saki and Ma-kun join the club.

This series of twelve fifteen minute episodes is fun if rather silly. Each episode is broken into several parts, each dedicated to one trick or mini-story. The character interaction is fun and the way the tricks fail provides laughs. They also provide a fair amount of fan service, occasionally a bit too much. The animation and character designs are okay; one doesn't expect the best in a series like this. Overall I'd say that if you want a laugh and don't mend the fan service it is a fun little series.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

Magical Sempai

Warning: Spoilers
There is not really much plot to this anime other than some random unnamed student enrolls into a school and he needs to find a club. So he decides to go with this magic club which is ran by this clumsy and cry baby but surprisingly attractive girl. This girl claims to be an expert at magic but everyone of her episodes she either ends up falling or feeling nervous in front of an audience.

Each episode is 11-12 minutes long and they are all available on cruntychyroll.

Well i usually don't watch these types of animes but i fancied something different so i watched it and i thought it was good and funny.

High school student, the Assistant, is made to attend a club due to club regulations. While looking for a potential club, he comes upon one dedicated to stage magic where he then meets Sempai who unfortunately has crippling stage fright that causes her to mess up the performance continuously. Then to add onto that, you have a street performer going by the name "Saki-chan" who tried to usurp the magic club, and she also has some...interests in her brother. Yeah, it's that kind of anime.

There's nothing much to the show. As an ecchi, the main jokes revolve around Sempai finding herself in compromising positions such as getting tied up; having her clothes get damaged; or in one instance, forgetting to bring clothes to dress into as part of one of her street performances. That kind of humor gets really old because of how predicatble it can be. Going onto animation, it's average. Honestly because of the many pantyshots and boob bouncing, it almost becomes bland as it happens in nearly every episode.

The opening and ending themes are decent as is the voice acting. There is a small number of characters in the series with each varying in terms of how they are played. The Assistant is generic and mostly serves as the stand-in for the audience observing Sempai's misadventures. He is the straight man of the relationship, but at the same time, I found myself slightly disliking him because of the fact that he makes it clear often that he is largely interested in Sempai for her breasts and her other attributes. The sixth episode in particular has him take advantage of hypnotism to get Sempai to do whatever he wanted. A really shallow guy that is.

Sempai is funny with her stage fright, but this also tends to get in the way. She is greatly passionate about magic, which isn't bad...but whenever she tries to recruit new members to the club, she comes off as annoying. Especially because there is no sign of her getting over her stage fright. It is something that continually gets in the way of progress. I understand that's a part of the joke -- she performs better when she isn't in front of anyone else -- but it quickly stops being funny quickly.

Saki is a big-breasted gyaru girl who does street performances. From the looks of it, she seems that she'll be set up as a rival of Sempai's. There's nothing to her aside from the fact that she has a disturbing crush on her obese little brother. Just her practically foaming from the mouth when thinking about her brother is unsettling. Then there is Sempai's older sister...Sister....who is an airhead who loves to tease her little sister and offers to be the Magic Club's advisor (she's mdoerately a good character), and Madara who is the club president of the Chemistry Club who takes a disliking for Sempai to the point that she loathed having the scientific tricks she does be equated to the stage magic that Sempai does. For the most part, all the characters are defined by one trait no more, no less.

Overall, Magical Sempai is a slightly below average series that if you love ecchi humor, I'm positive you'll have a good time with this one. Each episode is comprised of small segments that run for 12 minutes, so it's not too much of a burden to watch. But know that you are getting exactly what you'd expect.
