Also, the white-haired girl in stasis has just been introduced in the latest manga chapter. So she's not entirely anime-original anymore. https://forums.animesuki.com/showpos...7&postcount=20 |

It focuses on these 2 female friends who get a stick, and then things unravel badly for them. Sept can be read here in Japanese, but it's still an ongoing work. http://tap.akitashoten.co.jp/comics/sept Last edited by zztop; 2018-06-07 at 22:31. |

Mahou Shoujo Site. Final Thoughts
Some hours ago I concluded Mahou Shoujo Site, and when I picked it back three months ago I didn't have a clue on what I would be getting myself into.
One thing for sure, that I truly thank for never ever watched Madoka, since I did not need to compare it with the latter. From the beginning, Mahou Shoujo Site did not hold out the trauma and frenzy with its quite brutal, visceral depiction of Aya's incessant bullying from her classmates to her brother. Everything was a rampage of misfortune she had to deal day after day while considering seriously to go along with suicide. Probably, my best comparison or proportionally in reverse would be with Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku. I said in proportionally reverse due that in Mahou Shoujo Site introduces the MC as already broken with a wretched life while Magical Girl Raising project starts at introducing the MC as an innocent girl with a well upbringing and possessing an idealistic view on magical girls. Throughout the journeys, trials, tragedies, and horrors that each MC has to deal in their respective shows they grow quite opposite, and by the end of their respective shows each of them reap different results. Likely, I favor more Mahou Shoujo Site due to the Aya and Tsukuno pairing and that their situations not only were handled quite realistically, but also were a deviation from the so clichéd formula on magical girls MCs always leading cheerful lives. All of these girls were forced magical sticks into them to become magical girls for a higher, shady authority with quite a sinister purpose behind, and by the end of the journey the anime laids out what exactly is the Tempest and what purpose serves. Still, even if the girls were able to reap a happy ending of sorts, still, I feel it is only temporarily since the days towards the Tempest are still being counted down. Furthermore, they didn't cause as much damage as they thought.... Spoiler:
Really, it's hard for me to choose whether I will like to rewatch or not the show for Halloween season, since it has its gritty moments. Besides, I'm as well agreeing the anime serves more the purpose to advertise the manga rather than completely breaking free from it. From what I read and listened to, the last episode was original so as to encourage the audience to switch to the manga in order to learn what follows next with the story. All in all, Mahou Shoujo Site works really well when the characters are thrown into those bat shit, insane shenanigans in order to break their way out with the most unexpected results. Drama isn't lacking for this show as well as character relationships and growth to my satisfaction. Last edited by Guido; 2018-06-26 at 00:04. |
