If Magical Girl anime like Madoka Magica are deconstructions of the genre, then Machikado Mazoku is a reconstruction. Rather than focus on a naïve, optimistic child becoming a Magical Girl and then breaking her down with the cruelties of life, this anime starts us off with a Magical Girl who has already been beaten down and put through hell, and then goes through the process of reteaching that girl how to find happiness and hope again, through a would-be rival demon girl no-less. And I think that is precious. From the one person who should regard her most as a natural ... enemy comes a heart that decides instead "no, this adorable pink-haired girl who's been through so much DESERVES to smile, and I'm going to make her."
