Whelp, here we are again. Another attempt at making a darker, more mature magical girl anime for all those who want one. Last year gave us Magical Girl Site. An anime so over the top and ridiculous that it was unironically funny when all things considered. Now this anime throws its hat into the ring at its attempt. Now the question going into this show was how serious was this show going to be or is it more or less going to be a ridiculous spectacle? So you read the synopsis, watch the trailer and then when you see magical girls wielding side arm ...

Preliminary (4/12 eps)

Dropped at EP4.

This anime had a lot of strong points going for it, and managed to ruin every single one of them with overt appeals to sex and violence which reduced it to a childishly bad experience. The ero fanservice is immediate and constant, with every woman character having constant boob shots. In the swimming episode they lingered on a pointless buttshot for like four seconds. The characters are all just fighting concepts given scantily-clad form. The entire draw of this anime seems to be seeing scantily clad women inflict graphic violence onto others, or to have graphic violence inflicted upon ...

Have you ever seen those videos on instagram of some shop/cafe/etc in LA that makes these crazy concoctions? Ice cream with cereal, bananas and sprinkles, and then its frozen and fried? That's the best way I can describe this show. While the core idea of a grittier take on the magical girl genre is appealing, the show fails spectacularly in just about every way.

Plot 2-3/10:
In general, the method of how girls become magical girls is hard line to skate between reasonable suspension of disbelief and stupidity. It can be done well which can be seen in the go-to gritty magical girl show Madoka Magica. ...

I went into this show with low expectations, but it still managed to surprise me with its sheer appalling tastelessness.

The constant over sexualization and over-the-top violence make it clear that this show is meant to be an edgy teenage jerk-off fantasy, and as such, I'm sure it does it's job effectively. Where it gets me is the attempts at discussions of real-world issues like terrorism, war, child soldiers, sex slavery,torture, abuse, and trauma, resulting in some of the most jarring tonal shifts I have ever experienced. Its pretensions towards some level of depth and seriousness just make it all the more laughable.

The main character, ...

I'd like to preface this review with a warning. Firstly, I'm somewhat of a magical girl fan, particularly that dark and edgy take on the magical girl series. Secondly, I know not everyone is going to read this entire review, so if you're interested, jump ahead to the tl;dr section where I overview the review in a pros and cons list.

I went in with high expectations, I'll freely admit that. I was looking forward to this gruesome take on the magical girl genre. An anime that wasn't afraid to shy away from the blood and gore of open warfare. An anime that might even push ...

“Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka” is what happens when You have a pretty interesting premise but lack the writing skills to elevate it into something great.

War against the magical race called the Disas suffering from a boner for murdering humans ended. Mainly thanks to the efforts of 11 magical girls. Only five of those girls survived. After the conflict ended the squad was disbanded and the girls went their separate ways.
Now, 3 years later, a new conflict is threatening to start.

“Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka” is a show that tries (and mostly fails) to juggle different genres. I went into this show blind and oh boy, do ...

Preliminary (5/12 eps)

(may include minor episode 1 spoilers)

How do you squeeze magical girls, fanservice, terrorism, blood, gore, and teddy bear monsters all in one anime? Answer: you don't.

Story. Well, "story". Terrorists are attacking humanity with special chemical weapons dressed up as teddy bears. The world depends on the Magical Girls to defeat these terrorists. That's it really. They try to make it passable by adding lots of - frankly unnecessary - gore, however, this falls quite flat since the rest of the show is magical girls fighting teddy bears.

Art. Since I'm no artist myself, I'm not one to quickly spot obvious flaws in art direction. However, even ...

This anime has the potential to be the worst Mahou Shoujo that ever existed, bravo!

1. Originality: 6
Okay, yeah. The description did sound original, within the framework of Mahou Shoujo of course.
The Mahou Shoujo genre is increasingly repetitive, that's why even magical girls fighting against terrorists sounded more interesting than it was. However, the more the episodes progressed, the more I questioned myself whether this was really a Mahou Shoujo or a hentai of terrorists. Don't get me wrong, I know that there are transformations and magical powers like in any MS, but most of the times that the subject is touched it's so... ridiculous. I ...

Preliminary (8/12 eps)

This is one of those animes that I can not take seriously. Because they mix an excessively realistic story about mafias, drugs and others with a theme of Mahou Shoujo full of adorable things like teddy bears and more. And it is impossible to take this seriously, but the problem is that the series does and that takes me out of the immersion because the suspension of credibility works to a certain extent.

The plot goes of magical girls dressed as whores with post-traumatic stress of a war waged against pink teddy bears and other creatures. The girls deal with problems worthy of CSI with an ...

Preliminary (4/12 eps)

Nothing about actually watching this show is a pleasant experience, everything about it is bad and cheap, but I bumped it up from a 1 to a 2 because I enjoyed some of the ideas

Cheap looking, ugly art, and jarring camera angles. It just looks awful, there were actually times when I had to take a break because the shot composition and art style was just too ugly to watch

Characters were extremely generic, and completely uninteresting, nothing about them made any impact on me what so ever, I barely remember them.

The story sounds fun, and by far the best part about the show ...
