I loved this show as a kid, I've always been into magical girl type shows. The show definitely has that unique, pseudo-anime flavour most shows of the mid-2000s have. While many criticise this, this feels awfully nostalgic for those like me who were preteens in this era. The show is creative, yes maybe it takes inspiration from those like Sailor Moon, but in it's own unique self it is it's own great show. If you think Sailor Moon is better, go watch Sailor Moon, enough said. I like Sailor Moon, but stop trying to compare everything to something else, and let it be it's own thing. I can never seem to get why people hated this show so much, a lot of the times their reasons seemed shallow (I don't like their voices, their outfits are ugly, etc etc). While I don't disagree that these can be valid points, they don't attack the main point. Also, anyone who says that Winx Club has better animation and calls themselves an "animation lover" needs to get their eyes checked. While I never go into the Winx Club, let me say the animation looks quite cheesy and reminds me of animated Bratz films, while W.I.T.C.H. looks much more professionally done. Interestingly however, the book series happens to be from the same country as WC (Italy). The animation, however, reminds me of shows like Totally Spies (which happens to be from France, same place the animators behind W.I.T.C.H. happen to be located).

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.

Not to bash the comics or any other shows, but this is one of my fave action cartoons, THIS IS NOT A SAILOR MOON SHOW, i hate sailor moon, and love this show. I started reading the comics after i had seen the whole first season, and the second seasons first few episodes. This made the comics less easy to understand, but i liked the show a lot more. Really, i don't know why, so many people like the comics more. This show is about 5 girls that learn they are the guardians of the veil, later to become infinite dimensions, they have defeated the evil Prince Phobos prince of meridian, and his guard, including head guard, a snake/lizard like beast, Cedric. Caleb, the rebel leader, and the rest of the rebellion help them to defeat Phobos, and his servants. The rebel leader is dating one of the 5 guardians, Cornelia, earth guardian, and is often hanging around a horrible smelling, trading creature, a passling named Blunk. The other Guardians are... Will - Who holds the heart of Kandrakar Irma - The guardian of water Taranee - Fire and hay Lin - Air After overthrowing Phobos, his sister Elyon took reign, she had once been Cornelias best friend, but then turned against them when she found out she was princess of Meridian. Elyon is again friends with the guardians. Meridian is a fictional place, which is in another dimension, originally known as metaworld in the comics. Now they face a new threat, the sorceress and one time Holder of the heart, Nerrisa. The show also portrays the girls personal life in their town Heatherfield, friends, family, and boyfriends. So far in the show, the only people on from earth besides the guardians that know about Meridian is Will's boyfriend Matt. While dealing with school, family issues, and normal teenage problems, these girls also have to save the world on a daily basis.

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.
