Final Thoughts:
:
I had started this on a whim without really knowing what it was about. It was a nifty little show. Nothing spectacular, but I enjoyed it.
The characters were all over the place. Misa was awesome from start to finish although a little confusing near the end. (Did she die or not?) Usually I'm not too into the "Glasses" type, but I can make an exception for her. xD Soshiro was kinda thrusted into the story in a bad way though. He was just a side character for most of the show and then they decided to make him a main in the last 3 eps. He was pretty badass when he got to shine though. xP
Koyomi was annoying from start to finish though. The little ED scene at the end was cute but otherwise, I disliked her the whole show.
I'm taking Programming Intro this semester at school and watching this anime's concept of magic fused with coding was pretty neat. After that one puppet show ending where they told us the episode names were based off of programming terms, I went and looked up some of em and it was true. The main ideas of each episode also related to the term in some way (more or less).
Ex. The last episode's name (TMTOWTDI) stands for a programming style called "There's More Then One Way To Do It", fits the ending somewhat.
A nice touch for the producers to do.
I wish there was more work put into the series, I really liked the concept with Traditional Magic and Modern Magic. Sadly, the only "story" that took place happened in the last 3 episodes and it was mediocre.
Overall, I'll give Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou a 7/10. The Opening song is awesome indeed btw.
