This was more than just your average teen girl show. It wasn't just a group of bland stereotypes, but actually felt like people. They had their distinct personalities, yes, but with enough nuance and subtlety to make you care about them.
Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hey Lin are attending the same school, but ends up as the chosen ones to guard the so-called veil between the ordinary world and the mythical world known as Meridian. In the latter there is a war going on between the evil Phobos and a rebellion led by Caleb and his loyal allies.
The show has an engaging atmosphere when in the mythical world which is strengthened by a highly detailed animation style filled with vibrant colours and creative creature designs. And the superb voice acting add a lot of menace both to our big baddie, Prince Phobos and his right hand goon, Cedric.
But the most engaging part of season one is the complex relationship between this girl named Elyon and basically everyone else. Phobos using her affiliation with our protagonists against them hits you in the feels and makes you pray for the best outcome for her.
While season one follows this war pretty strictly, season two goes more into exploring the role as a guardian of The Veil and its history, taking both a more introspective angle and building more on the world which is a nice change of pace without sacrificing some action or cutting out a big baddie.
"W.I.T.C.H." was a really good series for youngsters with enough of everything to appeal to both girls and boys. It has enough character depth to make it engaging without taking itself too seriously. Recommendable for fantasy-lovers.
