When Canadians get noticed in foriegn shows, WE notice! Hats off to producers of Wizard Barristers - Benmashi Cecil for making not only the lead character from CANADA but also from Green Forest, Ontario. =) Sporting a maple leaf on her Red & White cycle helmet is SO Canadian without having to drag other stereotypes like maple syrup and beavers ... but then the series is still young. =) As for the rest of the series, prejudice seems to be a big theme in Japanese animes of late. Not that it's a trend but I hope that if anything sinks in, I hope we learn prejudging is wrong.

I love flashy magic in a modern setting, and the premise is OK, but the characters don't engage me. They're just a bunch of sterotypes trying to mesh serious with cute or noir and the result just doesn't work. The costumes and special effects are OK though.
