But Yuuna, always up to any task, is about to become an even bigger hero. Mysterious destructive forces called Vertexes begin threatening the world she loves, and the Hero Club is called upon by a strange phone app to save it. Along with her best friend Mimori Tougou, as well as sisters Fuu and Itsuki Inubouzaki, they must transform into magical girls in order to battle the Vertexes.

This is an impressive show. It has a nice slow build that leads into a fantastic climax.

It's power packed with great messages about strength, willpower, standing strong and believing in yourself. The power of each girl resonates in a big way. I'm not sure I'd recommend this to a younger crowd, but everything 13+ would probably do well with it. The girls are individually relatable and would resonate with the demographic.

Then there's the emotions. RE: Episode 9.

Your heart breaks with each emotional truma that they incur. Did I mention Episode 9?

Take the time to watch this. You'll be ever so glad you did.

Mixed Feelings

I've never felt compelled to write a review until now, because even though I didn't particularly enjoy this anime, I still want you to watch it. If you're like me, someone somewhere recommended this anime because you're a fan of Mahou Shojou Madoka Magica. As a huge fan of that franchise, I found this series to be the poor man's Madoka, and pretty underwhelmed with the recommendation. While I think they were trying for a balance of darker storylines and lighthearted character moments, I feel that they way overcompensated with too much of a slice of life element too often. The majority of the series ...

Guys, I tried.

I really, REALLY wanted to like this one, but it just wasn’t all that interesting to me. I heard it was like Madoka, which was why I gave it a shot, but it just left me feeling bored at the very end of it.

The pacing, the worldbuilding, the narrative; those were all over the place. I can’t really go into details because of spoilers, but they just didn’t work at all. Have of the time it’s trying to be a magical girl show, then it’s trying to be a slice of life, then it’s trying to be some kind of grimdark apocalypse. ... Shows can do this right, but this one just made it all over the place.

The story would jump around like a frog on caffeine. The vertex boss battles were so incoherently paced that I could barely even make sense of it all by the end. It tries to plant a red herring a few episodes in, but it feels so blatant that it makes me feel absolutely nothing.

Also, warning: the show pictures multiple suicide attempts later on, and the lack of respect for them was so jarring that I nearly felt sick to my stomach. It’s thrown in there, and the mental health of the character is never brought back up again, and everybody just ignores it. This was a huge problem that I had with KimiUso, but in here it’s just so BAD.

A majority of the characters were very bland and forgettable. Purple Girl (I won’t give out her name because Spoilers) was only there to give exposition, despite the fact that she had the potential to be very interesting. Yuna is one-dimensional as can be, while Fu is blander than Yuna’s sense of taste. Togo and Itsuki had moments of brilliance, but they spent a majority of the time doing pointless or idiotic things that barely mattered to the story.

The thing that I loved about Madoka is that we could see the world around them work, well, without them. Junko, Hitomi, Kyousuke, Kazuko; each one lived in the world, same as our main characters. Here it just feels like the main characters’ world, and everybody else just so happens to be props for them.

Keep in mind that I said the majority. I ADORED Karin. She was technically two-dimensional, but the way that I interpreted her behavior just made her be so fascinating. The only moment I cried in the show was about her, which seems pathetic but she was one of the few good things about the show. Too bad that this was the anime she had to appear in.

The show consistently tries to push shippings onto you, without caring about how shippings actually work. That’s about all I can say about the topic.

While the art was great (except for moments of random 3D), the music was pretty forgettable. It sounded nice, but that was pretty much it. I did like Dandelion, I guess.

I watched the series dubbed, and OH BOY DID THESE VAS DESERVE BETTER. Erica Mendez sounds very bland in this, which is very strange because she’s usually one of the better voice actors. I saw Xanthe Huynh in Anohana, and while I loved her as Menma, I just couldn’t stand her Yuna.

Brianna Knickerbocker was actually okay as Itsuki. Sure, the forced fake singing was atrocious, but she wasn’t all that bad. I saw Erika Harlacher in Violet Evergarden, and she sounds much better in this than she did in that, especially in her more emotional scenes.

Christine Marie Cabanos did alright, which is actually pretty good because she had one of the blander characters to work with. And, I REALLY liked Sarah Williams as Karin. Sure, it isn’t better than Sayaka, but she did amazingly on her own. I really did think that she fit the character.

Overall, I don’t recommend it, especially if you’re looking for a fill-in for Madoka. I’m going to be watching the second season just to see how terrible it is, so we you next review!
