I'm a big fan of
Shamanic Princess (I think it's an oft-overlooked classic), and I too was thinking how cool it would be if the sidekick weasel and magic were from that anime.
Didn't turn out that way.
I was going to put it on the so-so list (for being too recycled) when the transformation scene took place... the clothes->undershirt->panties removal was a goddam strip tease on too young of a girl.
Anime like this and
Rizelmine are going to give anime a bad reputation... worse than the "it's all just violence and sex" reputation it had only 7 or 8 years ago.
