Anime Review: Rental Magica

Plot Summary: Due to his father's disappearance, Itsuki Iba has to take over the family business: a magician dispatch service called 'Astral'. Astral basically employ countless magicians and other supernatural beings in order to send them out to help those who need magical assistance. As a leader, Itsuki now has to be tough, commanding, and reliable, but there's one problem, he's a coward. Also, in order to run a successful business, he has to connect with his employees, which is more difficult than it seems due to his personality and lack of magical ability. But not only does he have to deal with his own employees, he also has to deal with those who threaten the family business. (Source: Anime News Network)

Storyline: 6.5/10. I kinda liked the fact that they jumbled up the episode order. And unlike Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, this one doesn't make understanding the story complicated. However, that's mainly because the storyline wasn't so complex to begin with.

Music: 8.5/10. I liked the opening and ending. The BGM when he reveals his Glam Sight was nice too.

Artwork: 7/10. The character art is once again very common. However, Addie's 72 Beasts of Solomon were nicely drawn. The scenes when Itsuki uses his Glam Sight were impressive too.

Overall: 7.3/10. Not bad, I'd have to say. Although Iba Itsuki kinda reminds me of Shibuya Yuri from Kyou Kara Maoh! (Wimpy kid with a strong split personality). Itsuki was also my first cosplay character! (Which phailed big time! Twice!)
