mischievouslyradiant I used to be an avid Disney Channel viewer, and rarely of Toon Disney, but I never heard of this until now. I love, love, LOVE it! I love Winx Club equally, and maybe a little more 'cause it is lighter and more of a fairytale tone or whatever; I love fairy tales and lighter/family-friendly stuff.This show is dark, but awesome! Sometimes, it's a thriller 'cause it makes me scared or something. I'm really into it.To "Cringer": You may be disgusted by Disney for canceling it, but it disgusts me when fans blame the makers for it instead of the people who criticized the show. Their criticism is what canceled it, and there are still a lot of people who think that "complaints are what makes a huge fan." My only complaint is that they canceled it, not because of the show itself. People just need to enjoy it, and write fan-fiction if they wish something were different. Fanservice is what destroys a lot of shows MOST of the time, and other fans don't wanna see either of them.Anyway, this show has been getting a petition for Season 3 and Disney really should listen. They need to ignore haters and shouldn't focus on ratings.

shamrys I have read some reviews comparing this show to Harry Potter and Sailor Moon among things. That is entirely untrue. I don't see anything resembling a magical school, and that in itself is refreshing. Not that there's anything wrong with that concept, but Witch doesn't fall into that category and I like that. These girls are real girls tackling real life issues alongside having to deal with learning a new side of themselves as Guardians with extraordinary powers. The tassling Blunk being described as a Dobie type character is also wrong. He is not a house elf or servant of any kind, but as with many animated shows for kids, fills the role of comic sidekick or mascot quite nicely. The only similarity I see with Sailor Moon is some of the transformation sequences where the girls turn into their slightly older, guardian forms, but that is where it ends. You do see that in some newer cartoons these days, inspired by Sailor Moon and others like it in Japan, and there is nothing wrong with that so long as it's not a blatant rip off. Witch is no such thing.I also enjoy Winx Club, but noticed someone mention that Witch is girlier than Winx? I do believe Winx to be much more girly than Witch could ever hope to be, since the girls in Winx fuss over themselves and their clothes a bit much, their costumes are also extremely geared that way and a bit too revealing for very small girls to want to emulate in my opinion... kinda like Brats. I love the Witch costumes, and they vary in style from girl to girl to show a little individuality, even if they share the same overall elements and color scheme. Think of some (not all) superhero groups that have the same type of costume theme within their group and you'll get that from Witch. It's also nice they look good without being overly revealing. Another thing I've noticed is the storytelling is a bit rushed and stiff in Winx and lacks good transition between scenes at times. I feel Witch has better overall animation and production value in those areas.Plus I can think of some guys not being too embarrassed to admit they like Witch, since it has some good action scenes with the guy characters and a darker atmosphere, where not too many guys would admit the same with Winx, with it's elements of glamour, sparkly stuff, mushy romance, and girls acting and talking - well - very girly. I think it's all well and good for girls, and I am one who enjoys the girly stuff just as much as the more boyish stuff (GI Joe, Transformers, and more), but I can spot a show that caters to both genders a little better in the long run, and Witch does just that. I know a guy personally that would sit and watch Witch and enjoy it but wouldn't touch Winx with a 10 foot pole for all those reasons, as well as a lot of other cartoons I watch. That's saying a lot.I am also a big fan of animation, having watched everything from anime to animated movies, and all sorts of cartoon shows, and I find the animation in Witch to be very nice. I've seen some very weird or crappy looking animation,but this is far above that. Some of the action scenes alone and the way they are executed would blow your mind.As for difference between the show and books, I have yet to read the books series to form an opinion on that. But I know I love the show and would tune in to watch another season if they ever release one.

Jordan Senechal (wishwryter) I read a lot of reviews saying how it's coping Sailor Moon, but the thing is, that its not. W.i.t.c.h. is it's own show with its own characters and plot and the genre is that of a magical girl series, which is very common in Japan, so why not Italy & Disney? However, there are some changes from the comics that I like. For example, in the comics it didn't take Cedric that long to bring Elyon to Metaworld, but in the series, it was a while before it was even revealed that Elyon was the Princess of Meridian & went with Cedric only after feeling betrayed by her friends & family when she witnessed the guardians transformation and her parents true forms. Also, Elyon was nicer in the series then the comics.Another one of my pet-peeves that I had while reading reviews was that someone compared W.i.t.c.h. to Captain Planet just because the powers are the same. They're called the four elements of magic or alchemy. ALso Will's power is the fifth element called Quintessence.Lastly, I would like to say to all of you who say that it's a Winx Club copy or Harry Potter copy, have you ever seen an episode of W.i.t.c.h.? Because if you have you would see that W.i.t.c.h. has nothing at all to do with either of them as it doesn't take place at a school of magic, but 5 teens battling evil in another world. Sure they transform like Winx, but the guardians grow older after words. All in all W.i.t.c.h. is one of the best shows by Disney, a 10 out of 10!

Alex Keefe I've been watching cartoons and anime for pretty much my whole life but I have to say this is one of my personal favorite shows. It's right up there with Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Transformers, G.I. Joe, Jem and pretty much any other cartoon or anime that I've ever seen. The books are a lot more detailed, yes, but being exactly like the books would be boring. The animation is great, the storyline is great and the artwork is very cool. That makes this the number one cartoon on TV right now right up next to Justice League Unlimited. I think that people saying this is a Sailor Moon ripoff should also be aware of the fact that Japan itself has more than one Sailor Moon type show and the fact that W.I.T.C.H. has a passing resemblance does not constitute it being a ripoff. Not that I don't respect people's opinions but, give it another shot. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised. Take it from me.
