Okay, before we start:

Are there going to be spoilers?

- Yes, but it doesn't really matter.

Why am i making this review?

- Cause i want to and nobody makes one about it.

... Why am i reading this?

- Because i love Splatoon.

And how is "i think" the Manga?

- Well...

Let's find out!





Story: 6


Splatoon has a pretty nice Story Mode and a nice DLC so is the Manga an Adaptation or does it try something different?

Well it's kinda both...

The Story feels mostly random and they just bring in things of the Videogame randomly when the writers feel like it. My Problem with the Story is that it's uninspired and so comedic.
I know it's for little Children but imagine if this would have been at least as serious as in the Videogame. Because i think it would have been awesome and would've gotten way more attention.



Art: 7

The Art is mostly actually really good. There's nothing really to say about it then that.



Characters: 2

The Story is not the best... executed...
but the characters are even worse.

Goggles: He's just annoying and dumb.

Knitcap: She's mostly as dumb as Goggles... but i think she's not as annoying, but maybe that is because the Manga mostly forgets about her.

Headphones: I actually think she's the best Character of the Manga. She gets here and there angry how dumb everyone else is and goes all Tsundere. But her Tsundere side isn't actually annoying. It's actually fun for me seeing her getting angry at them which makes me see that she's the smartest Person of the Group. In the first Volume it's already shown that she has the best Rank from all four. And there's even a bonus chapter in Volume 6 where her Character Motivation is explored. The bonus Chapter is only 6 pages long and it's my favorite Chapter because a Character is actually a little tiny bit explored.

Brillo: Brillo is basically the smart guy... but all he does is point out how dumb Goggles is. Which makes him seen like he's unimportant. He's the one who gets from the Main Characters the least amount of character exploration ( Or what you can at least could call a tiny hint at Character Exploration ).

Bonus Chapters: So this is something rather unimportant but i wanted to point out that the bonus chapters feel like they could fit into the main story... like the one with Headphones is one who would've not only fit better but would've made more sense if the scene would be shown while the main story rather than when the scene it was supposed to play in ( after the Tournament in Inkopolis Plaza ).

Enjoyment: My enjoyment was actually pretty high. But if the Story would take serious turn and the characters wouldn't be just plain stereotypes without emotions but actual "CHARACTERS" this could've been way better. The writers could have made something serious and still could've brought a message into it. But then again it's Splatoon and for kids... so who cares about that except me of course.

Overall: It's mediocre. You can read and enjoy it. But only because you enjoy something doesn't always mean it's good. For what it wants to be it's good... but then again i'm thinking about what could've been as great as the videogame.

So... where the heck do i start...
First of all, im not going to repeat the whole Story so i recommend watching the Anime first.

I just want to say pretty quick that i have a little bit of knowledge in the Magical Girl genre cause i watched Anime like: Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku, Madoka Magica + Rebellion, Mahou Shoujo Taisen, the first two seasons of Nanoha, Yuki Yuna is a Hero or Mahou Shoujo Tokushusen Asuka.
I be honest and say that besides Madoka and Nanoha i weren't enjoying the most of them. So i was searching for a Magical Girl show that was actually good ... or had at least something that would be interesting for me. I too watched Anime like Higurashi or Corpse Party so when i googled dark Mahou Shoujo Anime i found Mahou Shoujo Site.
I am currently reading the Manga so i will compare the original work with the Anime adaption.

I would say... let's start!

Story / 6:

The Story of Mahou Shoujo Site has many mixed Elements in it that i found really, enjoyable for the most part ( Im not a Psycho i just found it interesting to start a Manga in that kind of brutal way ).
The Plot is kinda insane and much of a Chaos, but overall i think its a chaotic thing that has something that makes it pretty interesting. Though i kinda forgot that this is supposed to be a Mahou Shoujo Anime...
But compared to the Manga... the Anime's Storyline is just shit.
The Anime Producers could have adopted the "whole Storyline" but then the Anime would at least have 20 Episodes. The last Episode ( Episode 12 ) is i think the 16th Volume when Episode 11 goes from the beginning to the end of Volume 7.
And because of that you are left with so many answers or things that were shown but never fully explained until the end. I have to say i only rated it six because they at least tried ( not really ) to adopt the Storyline. But oh, right! We shouldn't spend money on making an Anime... well we could... but... let's cut the half of the Storyline out and go for a Tokyo Ghoul Root B!


Art / 7: So i don't know about you but i actually liked the Art of it. That dark Atmosphere with the colorful Characters around and stuff was actually pretty fitting. Even if other Anime were too pretty good at that... Maybe like... Madoka Magica?


Sound / 6: So i think the Cast of Mahou Shoujo Site made a pretty good job bringing most of the Characters to life and fitting them... but there is ONE thing that is so fucking dumb. The Ending theme...
I know many people complained about it but... its so weird... i mean are those things around the Tempest really Sperm? Was the Producer looking at that Ending theme and thinking... Oh, yeah that's good! That fits the show!
The Music of the Ending Theme is pretty okay... but the presentation of the imagery is worse than anything i ever saw. The Opening though is pretty good, but the OST itself is really forgetable...


Characters / 3: Oh, boi! Now we get to the worst part of this Anime... THE CHARACTERS!

Aya: She's fine... but i wish that she wouldn't be that weak. I mean she IS the Main Character so what the heck was she learning from this?

Yatsumura: She has at least a better backstory than Aya and does more things for the plot but i think there's nothing more to say about her.

Nijimi: I don't even know why she's there i mean she wasn't really important.

Other Characters: So the other Characters like the Police Officer get one or two scenes when he was later on the Manga pretty important. Shioi is the half of the Anime not even there anymore and the other Magical Girls get NOTHING at all! No backstorys, no look at the character... nothing! In the Manga they were not really important but later on they were pretty interesting and after they're backstorys and some Character conversations you cared about them. But in the Anime you just don't give a shit about they being even there!
Oh and btw... because the Story was cut half off in the Anime most of the Characters weren't even in the Anime what is pretty sad cause i liked Hyouka, Anjo, Alice, Sakaki or Komura more than the Main Characters... and that is because they have more personality, charme and more interesting events in the Story.

Enjoyment / 3: The Anime is a complete chaos ( more than the manga ) with so many plot points, characters and many events missing. When i watched Tokyo Ghoul Root A i though you can't make an Adaption worse. But here we are with not even the all the important characters in there.

Overall / 4: For people who are only Anime viewers might enjoy this "Adaptation"...
But for people like me who had no enjoyment but at least interest in the Manga so far is this Anime just a another Tokyo Ghoul Season 2 but sadly even worse than that... I don't care if you agree on all those points but that's after all just my opinion.
