A mahou shoujo anime that ain't precure or a reboot of an old, already established franchise love to see it.


Is this some kind of children's book?

Nah, it isn't a ripoff, mahou shoujo is actually a established genre, i thought the same as a child when i watched Wedding Peach and Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne and thought they were Sailor Moon ripoffs which probably contributed to my dislike of them, because i didn't know about that mahou shoujo was a genre at that time.

This is a mahou shoujo anime aimed at children so you shouldn't expect it to be like Elaina, if that's what you're hoping for you will be very disappointed, this is NOT a edgy Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica knockoff that the industry has been churning out ever since it proved a success, but rather, think of it like anime such as Precure, Ojamajo Doremi, Sugar Sugar Rune etc.

Looks like it could be fairly cute. I will probably give this a shot. Sometimes I need some wholesomeness in my life.

Not much to it as of yet, but it could work. The design feels quite classic, almost retro, to a certain extent, not bad at all.
Well I for one already loved Lain.
