Note: the English translation for this anime is, “Familiar of Zero”.  The 2nd season is, “The Familiar of Zero: Knight of the Two Moons”

I just finished this anime, and I loved it! Very good animation, entertaining and funny story, coupled with a weird master/slave relationship between the two main characters, makes this another anime that stands out.

From www.animenewsnetwork.com:

Meet Louise, a budding magician. The students at the Tristein Academy call her “Zero Louise”, due to her current record of zero successes with magic. In fact, her magic tends to go spectacularly wrong. Now, as an important test of her aptitude for magic, she must summon a familiar to be her servant. At this critical moment, she summons up all her magic and wishes for a familiar that is “devoted, beautiful and powerful”, and gets… Hiraga Saito, an ordinary Japanese boy. It’s difficult to say who is more surprised and dismayed, but the rules don’t allow for second attempts. Louise is stuck with her strange familiar, and he with her.
