Synopsis

A world where art becomes magic. In this world, people who can inspire passion with their Magic Arts are called Artistas, and are employed in show business. In Hoshinomori Private Magical Arts High School, where Artistas are taught, a strange new student named Kohana Aigasaki transfers into the school. Kohana is placed on the planning committee for the school's yearly Hoshinomori Summer Festa cultural festival. She spends her romantic school life with six other boys who aim to become entertainers in the future. Each of the boys specializes in his own Arts, and aims to make Hoshi Fes a success. In addition, the boys also aim to be chosen alongside Kohana as the school's Artista Prince and Princess, only chosen once a year. (Source: Official site)

I LOVE this Anime so much! The art is exceptional. I enjoy the colors, the character design and the overall art to the fullest. I feel happy and light hearted while watching it. The story revolves around the main female character. Like other anime, story follows her build up friendship with the other male characters while she has a goal and tried her best to follow her mother's footstep. The story is slow pace, not so serious, but full with joy. All the characters are lovable and this anime helps you improve your mood. I hope they add more romance and excitement to the story.

A bit disappointing, to be honest. I really was looking forward to giving this show a try, as I had heard fairly positive reviews going into it. However, there were quite a few things that held me back from really getting into Magic Kyun. Perhaps the largest problem I had with the show is how bland the lead heroine is. I know a common complaint about several reverse harems is that the lead has no personality for the sake of self insertion, and I don't think this show is an exception. She's vaguely pretty, vaguely nice, and vaguely friendly with every single character. No real definingcharacteristics other than her commitment to ~never give up~. This poses a problem both for the story and for the escapist fantasy, because any interaction she has with her romantic interests fall completely flat on their face. The male cast is so-so, kind of a mixed bag. I don't think any of the guys were especially poorly written, but neither do I think any of them were incredibly well crafted characters. They were just sort of...there. To fill one spot or another. But what I did appreciate was they all treated the Kohana with respect (no grabbing, non consensual kisses, etc). It's a low bar, but I'll take it at this point. I'm not even sure what to say about the story. This show sure had one. I guess. It was very tacked on. All of this being said, I did enjoy certain aspects of Magic Kyun. I loved how bright the colors of the character designs and the overall color palette were. I think that the soundtrack was fun in its own way, if a bit unintentionally hilarious at some points. And I think it goes without saying that Juri is the MVP of the show. I was sort of hoping that the show would flip into a same sex romance, because she genuinely had a lot more charm than the other contenders. What can I say.... it's harmless, a bit boring, and full of montages.
