Mahou Shoujo Site

Every day, Aya Asagiri thinks about killing herself. She is bullied relentlessly at school, and at home, her older brother Kaname physically abuses her to relieve the academic stress put on him by their father.

One night, as she lies awake wishing for death, a mysterious website called Magical Girl Site appears on her laptop, promising to give her magical powers. At first, she dismisses it as a creepy prank, but when she finds a magical gun in her shoe locker the next day, she doesn't know what to believe. Deciding to take it with her, she soon runs into her bullies once again. But this time, desperate for anything to save her, she uses the gun—and her assailants are transported to a nearby railroad crossing, where they are run over.

Aya's conscience is unable to handle the fact that she murdered two of her classmates with magic, and she desperately tries to understand the situation. However, when she finds herself in trouble again, she is saved by Tsuyuno Yatsumura, a classmate who can use magic to stop time. This duo has a lot to do: not only do they have to fight alongside and against other magical girls, but they also need to uncover the truth behind the website and the apocalyptic event known as "The Tempest" that is soon to occur.

Maybe some people just like "edgy" things? Maybe it's okay to enjoy a gorefest that has no complex story? Mahou Shoujo Site ticks the boxes for me, as someone who loves gore and horror. And I mean, it's kind of even better when it's happening to characters who look so innocent - makes it easier to accept the ridiculousness of what is happening. This is not a series that is to be taken too seriously, even though it tries to be. And that's okay.

Story: Cute magical girls team up to stop an otherwordly evil and face hell in the process. Except the anime is non-canon ... and it ends on a cliffhanger. If that puts you off, don't watch this. There's bloody backstories, enemies to friends, a cute beach episode, and terrible villains.

Characters: There are a number of characters you have to pay attention to, and it makes it difficult to care too much about them. The story builds Asagiri, Nijimin and Yatsumura's backstories quite well, but the rest you don't hear too much about. This doesn't really matter for me personally, as any more would clutter the story I think. It's really easy to hate on the main villains (not saying who) because they're just that horrible. It's really easy to cheer on the girls.

Style: Cute and colourful at times, dark and bloody at others. The art is decent and all the characters have their own distinct styles and personalities. Music isn't terribly memorable, but also wasn't off-putting.

Recommendation: If you like gore, horror and generally fucked up scenarios, Mahou Shoujo Site is for you. If you like anime that finishes the story, it is not for you. I probably wouldn't watch it again, but if you're the kind of person that's ended up on this page because of the genres, then I'd recommend this for you.

Mixed Feelings

I have very mixed feelings about this anime. On one hand, I was really into it. It started out great and I was "This is actually pretty good. Why do people not like this?" Then on the other hand it fell hard after episode 8 in my opinion and then I was "Ah, I now know the reason why." What started out with an excellent premise fell flat on its face. Because you go into it intrigued in how the story was going to go. Unfortunately for this anime, I had to really force myself to finish the last several episodes. Which isn't a good ... sign. Since it means that I lost motivation and to not drop this anime, I had to force myself to finish.

Art 8/10:
Let's start with the art. I thought the animation was pretty good for what it was. Visually, this anime is appealing and it is done super well.

Story 5/10:
The story is where it fell short with me. Because I more or less wanted to watch something different. I got into this anime because of the Psychological aspect that the show supposed to be. And in the beginning it was. Because it started out where the characters had to survive from other magical girls that wanted to kill them. That was the most interesting part of the whole series, because it points out that being a magical girl isn't all that it is cracked up to be. And I loved that Tsuyuno and Aya were trying to play 3D Chess just to stay alive from other girls that wanted them dead. If the series just stayed on that aspect, it would have been great.

Because I wanted to see the girls fight for survival and have them kill one another in a whole "It's either you or me, and it ain't gonna be me" type of scenairo. And while yes, in a way, we do have the survival aspect plot point. It just didn't go the way that, while I was watching it, the way that I thought it was going. And it the end it went with the generic, "Those people are the real villains" and it just made me lose interest in the story.

Characters 6/10:
When it came to the characters I at first cared for them. While I stilled care for Aya at the end, not only because she's the MC, but because she has grown to be more independent. The other characters not so much. Mostly because I was hoping for some sort of betrayal from the other characters, if anything to make the anime more interesting and fresh. But mostly the other characters never really changed, with the exception of Rina, but I think that was more circumstantial than character growth.

Overall 5/10:
Basically, it was the story and how it went that did me it. I thought it was going to pick up but sadly it didn't. Which is a shame cause this anime had so much potential to be unique in of itself and set it apart of other magical girl anime. In a way this anime is different, but I think they tried too much to copy Mahou Madoka and failed doing so.

Magical Girl Site, or Mahou Shoujo Site, is probably the worst anime I've ever watched. Despite this, I loved it.
It's an edgy shitshow that relies on shock value and little substance trying to piggyback off of the success of Madoka Magica, and I adored every second. I do have to admit that some of the character designs were quite nice, though. Anyway - I loved it, personally, in a "so bad I can't stop watching" way - but do I recommend it? No.

The main character, Aya, had an almost laughably tragic life that was clearly set up for the sole purpose of being a sob ... story, as with most of the other magical girl characters. Not to mention how her brother was just an irredeemable, unlikeable character without any depth.
