A Magical Recommendation!

I have noticed that lately what seems to be the trend for a lot of the recent anime released this winter 2014 is the trend of magic! There seems to be quite the interest in the Aniverse with magic as well as intense action scenes; some such titles released at the start of this year include; Magical Warfare, Strike the Blood, Witch Craft Works, and the one that seems to be most popular Wizard Barristers! While all of them are synonymis with the genre of fantasy/magic they can all be distinguished by their unique story lines, and this especially goes for Wizard Barristers because it has brought together what is in my opinion an odd pairing that works flawlessly! 

In 2018, humans and wizards live together in Tokyo. Police continue to protect order in society, but wizards (known as Wud) are tried according to magical law via Magic Prohibition Law, in special courts defended by wizard barristers via the Court of Magic. At age seventeen, half Japanese half Canadian Cecile Sudou, has just become the youngest wizard barrister after passing the bar exam at age fifteen, and begins work at the Butterfly Law Offices. While she hasn't realized it yet, she has tremendous magical potential.

Combining the strict, boring, and gray aspect of Law and Government with the fun, imaginative, and colorful themes of Magic has created this wonderful piece that is Wizard Barristers! What makes it so appealing to me is that it has a little bit of everything for someone to enjoy because it is so well balanced in each of its plot elements. The seriousness is brought out through each of the cases taken on by the Butterfly Offices, and how the writer, Michiko Itou, has brought a sense of realism to the fantasy genre by making the cases as close to those that happen in the world around us on a regular basis. I can recommend this anime to any fan of great magic battles, perverted humor, and the underlying mysteries that lye in wait for the characters if this anime.
