Anime: Mahou Tsukai Ni Taisetsu Na Koto - Natsu No Sora

A fantastic and almost realistic anime for a very long anime title... Known in english as 'Things That Are Precious To a Mage - Summer Skies', this anime is seriously different from any other anime I had encountered ever since Hoshi No Koe or Byousoku 5cm Story. It's pretty peaceful and gentle for an anime like this and very often, they would show amazingly realistic backgrounds for this anime... Well... A little too much but then it looks really amazing nonetheless. You can say that it's kinda similar to Initial D whereby the author focuses more detail in the cars than the characters but this time, this anime focuses more on the background details...


The story is set in present day Tokyo. Much of the setting is based upon real areas like Shibuya Crossing and Tokyo Tower. In Tokyo is the Bureau of Magic, which employs Mage Labour for certain special requests by everyday people. However, the mages must only use their magic with special permission, and any unlicensed use results in a penalty. The story is very gentle and centres around the protagonist, a witch named Yume Kikuchi, a 2nd year senior high school student from Tono in Iwate prefecture. In order to train as a magic user, she travels to Tokyo during her summer break to apprentice under the charming Masami Oyamada. It tells the tale of Yume's trials and tribulations as she works toward her eventual graduation as a full-fledged magic user licensed by the Bureau of Magic...


If you gonna like peaceful animes or to take a break from those action pack ones, then you may just wanna that a look at this anime... It simply blows your mind away... If you're not that kinda person who likes this genre I suggest you pass on this as it gets rather boring overtime as this anime is too peaceful... You'll know it when you visit the website...
