What brought me to watch this anime was a screenshot of a fan-art that I found on Google pictures. The screenshot looked cool, so I decided to give the anime a try, I already thought I'd like it, since I like anime that have a beginning AND an end (unlike the others that start and go ON and ON forever). It turned out I fell in love with it.
There were so many unusual things about this anime and I love unusual things. First of all, the protagonist is uber-strong from the very start. This is quite weird for a series, since the character needs to develop and gain new powers. I liked that twist, it wasn't used much and it made a nice surprise. Another unusual thing: the protagonist may be good, but he is not an angel who has fallen from the sky. If you know the phrase money, sex, drugs, erase the word drugs and that's the personality of the protagonist. That only changes in the final few episodes. The resident girl is a classic anime main girl, she gets angry easily, she likes the boy and she is always with a sword in her hand (literally in this case), ready to kill off any competitors. She also doesn't acknowledge her true feelings, like a classic girl. The tag-along kid is also a classic, though in this case he more or less helps in battles, and he even gets a little plotline himself.
The animation was artistically awesome, with great details on the characters and even though the lead girl's hair is a little chunky, I still like it.
Well the music was also awesome, and I have nothing further to say on that issue.
This anime also has it's good share of humor like when (I won't tell) or when (I won't tell). The scenes that are especially funny are the scenes of the fights between the protagonist and the lead girl.
Overall, this anime touched me, it was really good, and the fact that it has only 24 episodes makes it even more valuable. It also casued a little inferiority complex since Kazuma is everything I wanna be (tall, strong, uses wind magic) I'm just a couch potato (I could work on the strong but I would be a strong, non-magical, short couch potato.
One final thing: I was reading the ANN reviews and they make this anime sound like total junk except one or two parts. My advice is, don't judge something based only on reviews, watch it yourself and then judge.
