Mahou Tsukai Sally, A.K.A. the magical girl show that spawned a whole slew of copycats cannibalizing every single frame of this series at least circa early 2000's, it was definitely really good. Great voice acting (amongst the best I've ever listened to) and in particular the one provided for the main character who 100% sounds like a living sassy girl, good main score, awesome chara design by one of the future key animators of the masterpiece Kanashimi No Belladonna, animation that has stood the time better than godawful CGI provided from nowadays Toei, fun factor elevated to over 8000 thanks to really funny side characters,the only real annoyance that prevented this series from getting a 10/10 from me was the use of the removal of magic powers from the main characters as a tool to humanize and make them relatable to the main audience, not because I have problems with the aim but because I have problems with the way it was achieved. I get it, it was the land of unsubtetly known as the 60's, it was the first magical girl show ever so they had no idea how to do things properly and they improvised...even considering the time and the background of the series, after the tenth time you use this plot device in a series about the misadventures of a little witch that is shown using magical powers in the OP it gets monotonous, especially considering it's used in conjuction not just with Sally but with people like her granddad, THE FRIGGIN' KING OF HELL AND SUPREME WIZARD, who loses his powers and then immediately gets them back because reasens. Me thinks Toei did better in the humanizing/relatability factor in the following Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, by using small touches and believable relationships and with a full-on differentiation between the side of the senshis as normal students living their life together and superheroines fighting crime (an activity curiosly Sally carried on at the start of her career, in the first B/W episodes). With this little grievance out of the way, the show is awesome, and if you're into magical girl shows in general you HAVE TO WATCH THIS, not matter what your favourite one is. Everybody took something from this, from SM to Princess Tutu passing through Utena and Ojamajo Doremi, so you definitely have to watch this. Trust me, it will be a really fun ride.
