---May be minorly spoilerish-- First of all, I'm a 33-year-old woman with no kids.
Second of all, I've become addicted to this show.
It's funny though, by all normal accounts, this would be the kind of show I usually shy away from. The characters are all stereotypes, it tends to paint a negative view of Wicca (then again, since it comes from a highly-Catholic country {Italy}, that would be expected), the art makes you want to shout "EAT SOMETHING!!!" to all the characters, even the guys of Red Fountain, and the Season 1 finale looks like it's starting to rip off the X-Men as Bloom goes all Phoenix-y on the 3 truly-evil witches (I won't spoil *how* she does it though).
Yet, I find myself strangely drawn to this show's mega-cuteness, watching both Fox's Saturday morning showings and Toon Net's weekday showings.
It's just simply a fun show, despite it's glaring flaws. It's the perfect show to just watch and forget about the state of the world. Just turn off your mind for a bit and go back to a simpler time where you'd just plop down in front of the TV Saturday mornings and take in the fun.
Remember what it was like to be a kid again.... :) After all, think of the stuff we used to watch on Saturdays as kids. If I really wanted realism in my cartoons, I'd dig into my anime stash. :) My rating: 7 out of 10
