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 am as I say a fan of animation, there are films and shows I love, some I hate. W.I.T.C.H is one of those shows I actually love. I don't quite put it up there with the best, but it is one of the better animated shows of the past decade or so.The animation is done with lots of detail. The backgrounds have an ethereal quality to them, and the colours are both vibrant and atmospheric. The character designs are also believable, as are the transformation sequences.I love good music. W.I.T.C.H has that. Not only in the fitting background music, but also the theme tune is catchy, cool and sets the tone of the series very well.Also W.I.T.CH is very well-written. W.I.T.C.H has humour without it ever becoming slapsticky or clichéd, but there is also room for the dramatic and tense parts which are done effectively without overdoing it.W.I.T.C.H benefits from engaging stories with relateable themes and interesting characters with personalities that don't grate and are unique.Voice acting is also strong, the lead quintet consist of five very promising voice actresses who couldn't have been more perfect for their parts, and the support roles are dynamic.Overall, love it. 10/10 Bethany Cox

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.

I never expected Disney to make such a great show. When I first heard about it, I thought it was a girlie, Sailor Moon wannabe. Then I watched it and realized how stupid I'd been.Well, I read the comics first, so obviously I had a bad opinion. The comics are crap. They're exaggerated and girlie and the romances are overdone (especially Caleb/Cornelia and Will/Matt).But the show is another thing altogether. It has dark undertones, without becoming too tense. It has its light and funny moments too. Its storyline is original. The characters and couples are well-done and believable. Some great characters that were not there in comics are present here (Blunk, the Mage) and the villains are more realistic. In the comics, Phobos and Nerissa are pure evil, but here, you can see that they aren't that bad - note how Nerissa regrets killing Cassidy and how she let Caleb and Julian go.But best of all are the surprises and twists (that the comics lacked). Over the episodes, the characters are developed and more is revealed about them (Cornelia and her sister, Matt and Shagon, Caleb and his parentage, Elyon, etc).All in all, this is a funny, thrilling, magical and wonderful show. Two thumbs up!
