Even a world full of bright colors and every opportunity at hand there can be sadness.

Takes place in the ordinary world, with a few differences. In a world were some people are born with the skill to perform miracles they all need schooling and guidance. We get to follow Yumi, a young girl who leaves the countryside to go into the city where she will be taught how to be a proper mage. She is set up in an apartment with her mentor, a man with a past that in all aspects affects his future. Yumi gets to know his friends, gets to share his life and realizes that a world full of bright colors and every opportunity at hand can still be sad and depressing. And how you need to see the beauty in everything in order to live in a crazy but yet a wonderful world.

This is by far my favorite anime series, not only because it is so beautiful but because it brings up inevitable topics as love and death, and also how we can go on with our lives and let these things make us stronger.

Very sweet

Mahô tsukai ni taisetsu na koto (What Is Important To A Mage), or Someday's Dreamers (English title), was an anime series that was popular on Japanese television. It has received a pretty decent English dub for Western audiences on DVD, although much is left to the imagination through gaps in dialogue. The quality of the animation is very good and the music is very pretty, especially the title and end songs, which are very catchy songs to hum.

The story is about a young mage who comes to Tokyo to learn her craft. She's a junior in high school and lives on campus, away from her family. She meets various attractive young men who take an interest in her, but the sensuality in this series is very subdued and non-threatening. There is no bad language and very little violence. One character smokes too much but that's about it.

There are segments on YouTube from Someday's Dreamers but I suggest you track down the DVDs. You will enjoy it a lot more than watching on a 2 inch screen. They come in 3 separate volumes, 12 episodes in all, and you can choose original Japanese with subtitles or the English dub.

My 12 year old daughter really enjoyed this series so I can recommend it for pre-teens. It's a wholesome, loving show.

Definitely something to invest in.

Yume Kickuchi, a young girl in junior high leaves her town to Tokyo to learn more about her mage powers. She meets man called Masami who under his guidance gets her registration to the mage association to get her trained. Yumi gets to meet many of his friends like Smiley and she gets help many different people with her powers. Apon this she learns that the world is filled with many bright colours and every opportunity can be a lot more sad and depressing then the last one.

This anime is a very underrated gem which I recommend if you are into stuff like Mage and Superpowers especially if you are into stuff like Mob Psycho 100 only with Masami not being a con man like Reigen.

The animation and art style without a doubt was excellent no complaints in that department. The English dub was decent too no complaints. I also adore the intro and the ending.

So yeah I definitely think it's worth the watch.
