It's definitely very pretty, but so far I don't really get where all the hype is coming from. For my taste, the pacing for this type of story was a bit too fast. I also feel like we just glossed over the tragedy of practically losing one's mother as a result of one's own actions and jumped straight into being amazed by magic, which makes the main character seem unconvincing to me for now. The newly encountered characters seem to represent common stereotypes found in school-based stories—the genki girl, the stoic rationalist, and the edgy overachiever. Pretty standard stuff. I hope it develops in a less predictable way, because at this point the show's main strength is just that it's visually very beautiful.
