Sasami: Mahou Shoujo Club
Resurrecting the thread since there's actually a short video up on the website now (click the "Movie" link on the left):
http://www.vap.co.jp/sasami-club/index.html I loved Pretty Sammy/Magical Project S so it's good to see they're actually making another series with Sasami as a mahou shoujo, although it doesn't sound like it's in any way related to what came before. As near as I can tell from Babelfish's translation of the webpage, this time Sasami is one of five girls in her school (yes, including Misao) who presumably fight evil and belong to the Cooking Club, which is really a front for the Mahou Shoujo Club. Mihoshi's in it again as Sasami's teacher (how Mihoshi could ever get a teacher's certificate is beyond me) and Washu's back as the faculty adviser for the club. The only part that disappoints me is no Kiyone The first time I saw the character designs they were a little jarring, but after watching the video they've grown on me. No air date for it yet, although it looks like there's a manga out? Before the forum crashed I think someone mentioned this was a shonen manga, so maybe this will be a "mahou shoujo for guys" series like Nanoha or Magical Canan. I hope they keep the sense of humor that the writers of Pretty Sammy had though. |

Looks like they updated the promo movie to say it's airing on Wowow starting in April and added vocals for the song playing in the background. The animation quality looks pretty good, hopefully it's that good when it actually airs.

It's giving me an error so I'll try later. And for the record yes I have the latest version of realplayer. It just means the video is over-access for my area
I seriously don't know what to think of this show. I always liked Sasami and I liked her last TV series but... I guess it's all the way it looks. I have a hard time recognizing her as Sasami. I'll have to wait and watch the localized version when it comes out (as we all know it will be liscensed because it's Tenchi-related) unless they have somebody different voicing the japanese Sasami. Her japanese voice got on my nerves. I'm keeping a "I'll watch it but have no expectations" view for now. And as a magical girl she's got some massively difficult shoes to fill for me now. |

My arms are open for another Sasami series, but I thought this was a bit over the top when I first saw the homepage. Just....too cutesy...I can't see how this is targeted at guys...

Anybody else watched it yet? I was surprised, it actually seems pretty good so far, despite being a different concept from Pretty Sammy/Magical Project S and with a new vocal cast (including real kid actresses as the girls...which usually sucks). It's more a majokko-type show than a mahou shoujo-type one so far. Good production quality, too.
Looking forward to seeing what the other characters' powers are like in action...Misao's is rather uniquely creepy yet cute. |
