Witch Craft Works: Dramatic Ass-pulls: The anime. What an incredibly forgetable series. it started out OK, after a few episodes it got boring since the heroine would never die, and she seemed to get a new power up off-screen in every single episode. A lot of the episodes felt like fillers, and a lot of the plot didn't make sense because basically every important conversation or event seemed to happen off-screen, just to be shown like 5 episodes later. It wasn't even done in a good way, just very lazily, and a lot of the characters were dropping too many idiot balls.
The plot didn't even kick in until the last 3 episodes or so, and even then it was barely a plot at all, with the villain seemingly having no motive or plan or action, she must have been beaten like 5 fucking times, just for everytime to go "oh no, woops, I have more bombs set up".
It also had a hell of a lot of characters who had no impact on the plot whatsoever, and were basically just there to be cute witch girls, none of the characters had any personality at all, they were all pretty generic. The main character was quite refreshing though in the sense that he didn't want to be treated like a precious flower and wanted to fight too. The last episode turned him into a whiny little wimp though.
I bet the source material is a lot more in-depth and coherent, but the anime was a complete mess.
The only thing the anime did right was its OP and ED, which were both excellent.
