The title has been bothering me also. I hope that someone can tell us why the original filename and website say Tweeny Witches. My guess is that Tweeny Witches was the original working title, but things have evolved since then.
Once we have more information we might change the title that is being used on AnimeSuki.com

I think "Mahou Shoujotai" is meant ironically. This series is not mahou shoujo, the girls aren't the best magicians around, and they don't even make much of a group given their contrary attitudes and mutual animosity.
Seems to me that the second episode provided enough (and a good enough) plot to hold the series together. The cramped, gloomy atmosphere makes more sense after watching the payoff of #2. |

I know, I know. Her "Magic should make people happy" line gave me horrific flash-backs to Mahou Tsukai Tai 2. There was a character in that awful sequel whose tag-line seemed to be "Magic just wants to play."
I really didn't enjoy being reminded of that sequel. Fortunately I'm loving the show enough to overcome the power of that flash-back.

Anyway... this series reminds me more of "Now and Then, Here and There" than Mahou Tsukai Tai - the scenery and the final scene of episode 2 give me that feeling. If the story is headed where I think it is, an ignorant and stubborn (and idealistic etc.) protagonist is just what the story needs. |

Hmmm.....if this is so, I hope Alice is sorely tested in her beliefs, and perhaps forced to come up with something a bit more down-to-earth and workable. That never happened to Shu. Not that she should accept the cruelty of the witch council or anything. For some reason, I don't think this is that kind of series, but maybe that's just because I haven't seen one for a while and am not expecting one. What's the target demographic here? |

Woo Hoo! I just found this anime and I'm really liking it... it has the combination of cute and creepy which works for me.
I'm also not surprised babbito2k is posting a lot here, I remember the little white bat is a fan of animes with short running times. The pace of this anime is awesome, it seems like I've watched a complete 24 minute episode compressed into less than 9. This may be the first short anime which isn't a comedy to be in the Kempis Curious Good Anime List. Does anyone know of any more? -k curious |

In any case, the only group currently fansubbing this anime refers to it as "Mahou Shoujotai" in every episode past the preview, so Animesuki should probably change to that name already. Outside the preview, there's no series named "Tweeny Witches" on AF-F's scarywater listing; linking to it under that name is just confusing.

Just finished watching the first 5 episodes. ^_^ I really really like it. There's just something really addicting about it. Ahhh. Wish the episodes were longer though. Oh well, I'm SO going to keep watching this one! Can't wait to see how things turn out. I 'm also wondering About Alice's dad. Very interesting indeed.

Something I noticed that makes this series very unique: It has extremely odd directing. The camera angles and scene cuts are very oddly placed, often with the speaking characters off screen, or the viewpoint from weird angles/placements. Even without the character designs or plot this aspect of the anime is quite unique. Take a look again at episode 2 and you'll see what I mean. It makes me wonder if the show will take a really odd turn at some point.
