Mahou Sensou, also known as Magical Warfare, was released (from the best of my knowledge) on Jan 10 2014. It tells the story of a boy Nanase Takashi and his friends Isoshima Kurumi and Ida Kazumi, who get caught up in a fight between a group of magicians fighting a girl called Aiba Mui. This fight inevitably infects the 3 with magic and turns them into magicians themselves. Once the fight has been heroically won Mui takes the group to an alternate Tokyo, which is all that remains after a large war between the magicians. The series is animated by Madhouse, which also co-produced the very famous Death Note.
My opinion on the series is still rather neutral, it has it's very good elements in animation, but nothing that screams to me "This is going to be the next big thing!". And for all you fan-service fans, it definitely has something for you. Give it a try, I say. It could turn into something good, but don't expect it to be the next Attack on Titan.
