rumblinglove I found the first season of WITCH to be amazing and exciting and so did I found the second season to be. But for the second season, I've noticed that the writers wrote the events so fast as if they wanted to finish from the show quickly. The second season was great but if it just was written a little bit slower that would've been great. Also I wanted more seasons and episodes; why did they stop from producing this show after all it was well received so why not keep on the good work. I watched this show firstly on Arabic on children network MBC3, and I was so impressed; although I have to admit that the English version for this show was the best next to the French version (original), but I never said that the Arabic version was bad it was good.

Glen B.Wang And it is! Anime is everywhere these days, even some of our most beloved American cartoon/comic characters have been revamped into something that are no longer recognizable and are adopting strange features that they are not supposed to have! In this case, Disney too now focuses on that genre, disregarding their natural talents and hire an animation company called Jetix (the same company that creates the truly awful Super-Monkey-Robot-Yada-Yada-Wha? show) to produce another abomination that is sure to attract fans of the kids magazine called W.I.T.C.H (obviously initials for the characters' names, which you can see on its opening title. How lame and cumbersome).Basically, I have no idea what the main story is about, but it's a bit like Harry Potter (since the first movie, everyone begins to imitate J.K. Rowling's success, but nevertheless fails to generate everlasting appeal) and a dot of Winxclub (which seems of plagiarize the former, plus lots more from other original anime preferences), which results in a badly mixed barf bag which older audiences have to consume to imagine its horrible taste (think of one event in Fear Factor where contestants are required to pick up garbage from the road and eat it!). First of all, animation is, well, what do you expect from conventional studios these days, Americanized Anime. Only more yucky. The character designs are equally generic and stiff as well (probably the most uninspiring is that little goblin who is obviously derived from Gollum/Dobbie). The costumes for the so-called Guardians are the worst I've seen in recent memories; with dull colors, poor choice of design and dreadful little wings, my interest begins to wane too quickly. I mean, c'mon, even little 'trick-or-treat' Halloween kids have better appearances than these 'pixies'! Plotwise, it's just like any other teen shows you have seen ranging from Sabrina to Ginger, so there's nothing to explain here. Basic magical elements such as water, fire, water... erg ... I just wonder if the writers of the show are capable of extracting their own bits of creativity instead of referring to the text books...No matter what the 'fans' say about the show in this section, true lovers of animation like me may agree with some of my statements, so please I beg you all to STEER AWAY FROM THEIR MAGICAL INFLUENCES!

heartlessmoon In a world of Sailor Moons, Tokyo Mew Mews, Wedding Peaches and Winx Clubs, it really is no wonder that Disney decided to jump onto the bandwagon as well.W.I.T.C.H could have easily become lost in this sea of magical little girl programs, but it doesn't. Due, of course to the success of the writing and characterization.Characters are not seen as flat, one dimensional cut outs of what they once were in the comics. Each of these girls is seen with at least some depth and personality and therefore come across identifiable with the show's target audience. The relationship between these girls is also realistic, they don't always get along, but the friendship is still present.The humor is there, and it works, it's not at all overbearing or annoying, but is present and very well done. All in all, the show is enjoyable for fans of all ages.But of course, there are flaws, the most obvious of which is the changing of certain character's behaviors in the transition from graphic novel to television show. Which, truly, would not have been a problem until the writers decided to maintain these character's relationships from the comics. Because of the change in personalities, these relationships simply do not work, and feel awkward and distracting when used in the show.In short, most of the key romances on the program come off as forced. For example, the coupling of Cornelia and Caleb, comes across as being the most superficial, contrived union to have ever been written into a script. To make up for the lack of a decent foundation on the character's part, the writers seem to resort to "sparkly" backgrounds and cheesy background music by means of actual chemistry. When it really wasn't like that in the books.Also, Will's behavior around her love interest Matt are a disgrace to her character, and often painful to watch. The once strong, awkward Will, turns into a stereotypical teenager at the sight of her crush. Making this too seem rushed and well...stupid.In short, the show was/is better without the couples. But hey, if Tokyo Mew Mew has taught us anything, it would be that couplings never turn out right.These issues aside, W.I.T.C.H is still a very enjoyable ride. Which I personally would recommend to anyone.

nightshade_belle I love this show because of that! I thought it would be another anime rip off of Sailor Moon, like WINX, but it wasn't. There was an interesting, unpredictable story, with lovable funny characters who can really fight well.My brother was laughing at the show because he said their powers were like the kids in Captain Planet. So I watched Captain Planet to investigate. I realized yes the WITCH characters have the same powers, Earth, Wind, Fire,Water but they are so creative with it. I love that, that's why I love X-men too. Will and her friends are so clever. I remember an episode where Hay-Lin used her wind powers to hear a sound from far away. I was really impressed by the ingenuity. The Planet Brats don't even compare. Cornelia controls Earth and that means she can control everything to dealing with Earth, but all the guy in Captain Planet can do is throw dirt in the air. If u ask me Gaia the Spirit of the Earth really screwed those kids.
