I sat down for a binge of 'Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata' and here's what I thought. The visuals are bright and lively, the jokes hit more often than they miss, and the music gets stuck in your brain. I won’t sugarcoat it—the middle episodes slow down and a few jokes are pretty niche. But if you’re into a goofy twist on healing magic, this could easily become a top pick on your list.
