Mahou Shoujo Site vs Ousama Game The Animation

Personally I prefer Mahou Shoujo Site over Ousama's Game, even though those two don't really have a lot of resemblance in one another really. But that's because of the fact that Mahou Shoujo Site seems more understandable over Ousama... where literally the actions of these characters do not really add up with the reason.

So yeah, I can see that, even though again it doesn't add up much.

I don't see any real similarities between the two, outside of the fact that they both aren't too good. Between the two, I'd have to say I prefer Ousama, I was at least howling with laughter the entire time, with Site, it's not only bad, but also makes you feel bad. Maybe the manga gets better, but unless I hear some really good stuff about it, I'll drop Site, but never even thought about dropping Ousama.

Well I just finished watching the first episode of Mahou Shoujo Site...

Ousama Game was a fun watch and I honestly enjoyed it.

For the first episode of Mahou Shoujo Site...it heavily reminds me of Hell Girl. So honestly, I really didn't feel much out of it, but we'll see how it goes in the future episodes.

I feel like Ousama Game could have been better if some decent studio picked it up and worked on it because ive read the manga and it was quite nice. I also read the manga for Mahou Shoujo Site which I also like, no matter how edgy people claim it to be lol

Wait. Does it remind you of Hell Girl storywise or just because the main character looks like the poster girl of Hell Girl?

Because that really was my first thought when I saw the poster of Mahou Shoujo Site. ^_^

Aya's uniform can be seen in other anime, so it did not directly remind me of Hell Girl. I meant storywise, as the first episode of each season of Hell Girl (including the live action drama), always involves a girl being bullied. So what I saw in the 1st episode of Mahou Shoujo Site is nothing new to me, which is why I found it rather bland. Ousama Game was dumb, but it was entertaining, so it currently has the upper hand against MSS for the moment. I haven't read the manga and do not plan to read it, so I'll just see if the anime can give me that spark to pique my interest...

I can't believe I'm about to say this... But, I think Ousama Game actually had a more consistent level of entertainment value, fastly approaching 'so bad it's good' territory. Of course, my own objectives for thinking so could well be painted by the affirmation I got, venting over just how bad it was, in weekly review videos, over on Youtube. Mahou Shojo Site started off on a very similar tack, with tactless, over the top brutality and such. And the latest episode -- episode 8 -- started pulling everything back in that direction again.

But, there has been this undercurrent of actual, legitimate uneasiness, watching Shojo. It's actually, legitimately dark and disconcerting in places, to me. And it has had a bit more in the way of legitimately interesting characters, and character development. It isn't as wild and crazy, and lacking in reason, as Ousama Game was. The absurdity of which, actually made it more fun, as there was so much that you could put on blast.

As to which show is better? Well, that depends on what you're gauging, and how you're going about watching it. Ousama Game really lends itself well to being a shared, commiserating kind of watch. Commingling with fellow viewers to talk about how insane and stupid is all was, was actually mad fun, for me. Mahou Shojo Site hasn't really had that appeal. It's got its absurd moments, sure. But, overall, the show has a more melancholic, pedantic style about it. And it's more character driven moments, few and far between as they may be, don't really lend well to an overall cathartic lambasting. At least, as far as I'm concerned.

So, I lean toward Ousama Game for entertainment, and Mahou Shojo Site for more straight up intrigue.

I get where you're coming from. Ousama Game is pretty much a case of all hope is lost for the story and because of that it is pretty much a 'it's so bad, it's good' kind of show. Unfortunately, it's not really a show I would want to rewatch again because there wasn't really anything truly memorable from the show for me at least.

As for Mahou Shoujo Site, believe it or not, I am actually praying that it turns out alright. The biggest improvement by far are the characters. Sure, there are still a lot of psychotic and nutjob characters that seem to be crazy for the sake of it. But I have been quite impressed by how the main characters ie Asagiri and Yatsumura have actually outright confronted some of these crazy characters such as Sarina and Nijimi and potentially being able to reason with them. Not to mention, they don't make these two characters into some OP villain like Natsuko which the main characters somehow could not stop. It was so much better in my opinion that I would not even consider Ousama Game even if I was given the choice to.

Still, the trouble with shows like these is that it really depends on how they handle the conclusion to truly justify the show's content. If the ending bombs, then it would be all for naught. Therefore, I am just praying everything goes well. ^_^
