The second season of Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto, Natsu no sora is reached my expectations... I was afraid that they would create another boring slice of life drama, like the first one(I didn't really like the first series). But fortunatelly it didn't disappoint me and this was a great work to begin with.Story 9: Like other slice of life animes, Natsu no sora is a very relaxing peice, there isn't any place for fighting or blood. With the supernatural parts, they made it more impressing and ejoyable.The main character, Suzuki Sora is a little bit shy but straightforward girl from Biei, Hokkaido. Like her father, she can use magic, and in Tokyo, she got the opportunity to become a legal magician, but she has to do training before. So Sora, from the country side, travels to Tokyo, and experience a lot about frendship, love and of course magic as well. But something isn't going on the right way...Art 10: I loved the art. I loved the unique style they showed us, especially the real backgrounds. The contrast between the characters and the background made the anime so enjoyable. It was a good opportunity to know Hokkaido or Tokyo from another point of view. There might be someone wo doesn't agree with me, but if you dropped this because of the art style, then you missed a chance to watch a great anime, and a great storyline. Characters 10: The characters were realistic in their personalities or actions too. How to deal with the costumers problems or just to use magic on the right way. They had to solve their own problems about love, the faluire in magic or how to bear the death of an important friend... There are things that can't be solve by magic and they have to realize how cruel life is, but if you experienced sadness then you can treasure those little happy things that happens with you... That's what I felt while watching the anime.Sound 10: I liked the sound very much, especially the opening and the ending. I also liked the idea of putting a steet musician in some parts, because of the great songs she perform. Of course you can sense that this is a production from 2008, the sound is well made, and it's suit the series.Enjoyment 9: I don't have to say I really enjoyed the series, especially because I could know Tokyo a little bit more and it was a refreshing slice of life drama. But I don't want to emphasize the fact that it made me cry in the end, and it's a plus point to me. Because if it can make me cry then it really can express feelings and I think in a series the most important thing is to express the feelings that the artist wants to: happiness, sadness, jealousy, kindness, joy, anger, fear... And if the viewer can feel these emotions then it's worthy. And Natsu no sora can...Overall 9: Well I quite glad that I watched this series, but to be honest it was almost one year ago. It didn't disappoint me like the first series it was much better. But if you don't really like slice of life drama, then you shouldn't watch this peice, because reviews full of disappointment are usually from these people. It's really suits summer afternoons, because you can feel the hot like in the series... it's really strange feeling... So just watch it, I recommend it!!!
