This is one of those animes that I can not take seriously. Because they mix an excessively realistic story about mafias, drugs and others with a theme of Mahou Shoujo full of adorable things like teddy bears and more. And it is impossible to take this seriously, but the problem is that the series does and that takes me out of the immersion because the suspension of credibility works to a certain extent.
The plot goes of magical girls dressed as whores with post-traumatic stress of a war waged against pink teddy bears and other creatures. The girls deal with problems worthy of CSI with an

TL;DR: F**k the haters. This is excellent. Like a long lost Nanoha sequel updated for the modern age.
I was rather worried when I saw that this anime I had been looking forward to hadn't been able to even break 7.0 barrier. I almost didn't watch the first episode. Boy was I wrong. While this anime can't quite compete with my reigning favorites Madoka Magica and Raising Project, it nonetheless deserves a place among the best dark magical girl shows of recent memory. Lots of action. Lots of heart. Lots of deliciously disturbing character moments. Excellent worldbuilding. And some excellent humor and ... Apr 1, 2019
Hear me out: I am a sucker for "mature" (or "seinen"?) mahou shoujo anime and stories. Thanks to Puella Magi Madoka Magica for boosting its sub-genre popularity, plenty of successors and failures after Madoka quickly or slowly show up, and a ton can be a hit and miss! For Mahou Shoujo Tokushusen Asuka: This one is a mix-tier, and you will see why for my overall opinion and recommendation call.
STORY - These 12 episodes sums up of one arc, and leave room for a potential second season. Its world takes place three years after a war against the Netherworld's Disas: the typical monster-of-the-week beasts ... Jun 13, 2019
Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka is another grimdark magical girl anime/"Madoka Magica clone." I've watched so many "Madoka clones" lately I thought I'd give this a shot as well! This show is brought to us by studio LIDENFILMS, who also made Hanebado (epic badminton anime) and Killing Bites (National Geographic meets Gainax). "Asuka" tries to take a more realistic approach and asks what if magical girls used military weapons and actually *worked with* the government to fight monsters? Welll, the result is a mixed bag, and I'm gonna have as much trouble scoring this anime as I did with Magical Girl Site (though that one was

Nothing about actually watching this show is a pleasant experience, everything about it is bad and cheap, but I bumped it up from a 1 to a 2 because I enjoyed some of the ideas
Cheap looking, ugly art, and jarring camera angles. It just looks awful, there were actually times when I had to take a break because the shot composition and art style was just too ugly to watch Characters were extremely generic, and completely uninteresting, nothing about them made any impact on me what so ever, I barely remember them. The story sounds fun, and by far the best part about the show ... Apr 4, 2022
Let's make this quick:
Magical girls from Sailormoon? Yes Blood? Yes Big titties? Yes Magical girl nude transformations? Yes The whole concept of magical girls taken seriously? Yes Nearly zero male characters? Yes middle and high school girls in provocative outfits? Yes middle and high school girls who look like 19-year-olds? Yes ... Previous - |
