Seeing the trailer, I initially thought this anime would be terrible solely because of the animation like the 3d low-quality animations for the monsters they’re fighting. I’m thrilled that they improved the animation to be not as bad as the trailer, the animation of Magilumiere has become decent! I loved the manga because it was a fresh new take on magical girls, an innovative concept! The story and development were meaningful yet unexpected which makes it exciting. It touches on realistic themes due to its concept of magical girls as more of a corporate and technological industry driven by software and programming instead of solely

on magic. It's a more mature and systematic concept, especially with themes of idealism vs efficiency of corporations and issues on corporate slave. I hope the manga will get more love and moreover a bigger budget for upcoming seasons because the latter part of the manga is especially exhilarating.
HOWEVER what makes this anime good regardless of the decent budgeted quality of animation and the yeah okay directing was the OST and sound engineering! I normally appreciate OST to an extent and never really noticed sound engineering as much. The OST and sound directing were what pushed me to keep going and finish the anime, whoever was responsible for this I just want to say the team was a godsend. Whoever composed the OST was so good, it had a similar hopeful heroic vibe as encouraging and heartening as My Hero Academia OST or How to Train Your Dragons. The OST has truly left me inspired. I came from reading the manga and I simply liked Magilumiere because of the story, but watching the anime, the ost really made me see Kana Sakuragi in a new light, her story seemed much more inspiring because of the OST. I now understand her personal struggles more and how she grows as a character to become more heroic. The OST moved me to tears, it reminds me of how inspiring Deku was in My Hero Academia as he grew from his struggles and became the hero he has now become. Furthermore, whoever directed the sound engineering was great, they understood great timing.
