Dai Mahou Touge

Dark, twisted, tainted and through'n-through madness. If you are not a fan of dark humour and twisted jokes you will not enjoy this series.

But, if you do enjoy stories and gags which are just completely wrong, in every little way, then you will love this show, because it delivers encore upon encore of wretched, bizarre and just plain evil jokes and enjoyment. There is no overall plot really, the story revolves around the heroine, Punie Tanako, who is sent to the human world from her home-world of "Magic Land", to study and grow stronger so that she can eventually inherit the title of Queen. And that's about it, the rest of the show is just glimpses of how the little girl deals with everyday life in the human world. So if you're hoping for an epic plot, you won't find it here.

What you will find however is great, great and once more, great characters. Punie is just the epitome of awesome in every possible way. Not only is she adorable and cute, but she's also so gruesomely dark and sinister, sadistic and cruel and just blatantly evil that you'll fall in love with her at first notice. This is aided when her murderous mascot (who very much would like to cut her throat) appears and adds even another layer of comedic madness to the show. You'll get to see Punie abuse her friends, mercilessly insult them without a second thought or concern for their feelings and of course, get to see her trademark wrestling/submission moves as she breaks joints and limbs recurringly.

The opening-theme and animation is also simply wonderful. The cheery tune and peppy beat makes for a nice contrast as we get to see the little hellraiser dance around while the background is set on fire, while smiling ever so innocently, almost laughing I would imagine.

The sound is clear and the voice-acting is fits in perfectly. You'll even find a certain audio-based gag in the episode where Anego (one of Punie's "friends") go on a date with a boy, if you listen close enough that is. The voices fit the characters very well, and as usual the seiyus have put emotion and effort into their characters, making them very enjoyable to listen to.

In conclusion, faint of heart should not watch this, and people who value their childhood dreams about fairy tales and magical kingdoms should also probably stay away. But everyone else, who likes to laugh, should definetely, without a doubt, watch this as soon as they can. read more

Dai Mahou Touge is an hilarious, parodic series from the original manga adaptation. To start things off, it has no actual plot other than what is being stated in the synopsis, it features some hilarious parodic moments from a few famous movies and series and its generally a short series consisting of 8 episodes in total. (2 episodes of 12mins each in one).

Considering the series is somewhat plotless, I'm gonna talk a bit about Tanaka Punie. Well to start it off, she really is the queen wannabe from her magical land considering she has a candy stick as a magical weapon and her well known, all famous 'submission' move where it either kills the person and the person comes back to life the next day or paralyzes the person in which making us think they are dead. But really, none of us can hate her considering she brings us serious laughter and joyful entertainment, weather she is in a happy or in a cold-blooded killing mood.

Each episode are just merely daily school life activities where she gets accustomed to the living on Earth. While it may seem the events look ordinary, the parody events plays a major role. A few examples of these parody events includes famous cut scenes from the Initial D series and the Alien and Deer Hunter movies. If you still think this is an original comedy, well you are in for a treat.

In conclusion it's for all comedy lovers or for anyone in general.
