Mixed Feelings
A parody of the popular magical girl genre.

Was it good? Not exactly. Actually, this show had some opportunities for success. The concept of a girl turning into a guy in a magical girl parody show isn't that bad. However, they seem to lose focus a lot. There isn't a lot of creativity when generating the scenarios of the episodes. For a parody and comedy show, it falls short completely. I mean, I'll admit, there are some scenes that are funny, but overall, it's pretty bad. There's just a lot of "fluff" and actual action, believe it or not, among all the episodes. Plus, there's a bunch of side characters that get entire arcs that are plain bad, like the mother arc, prisma arc, and the fujimoto arc. I just feel like the main cast isn't involved in those because the people making the show were running out of ideas what to write about. Honestly, if the episode scenarios weren't so bland, I think this show could have been very good. But instead, I just get some boring episodes. I mean, even the comedy isn't that bad. There are some good laughs out of those episodes, but the way the episodes turn out are just really predictable and mundane. You'd think a show focusing on comedy would have comedy, but I feel like there is more fighting than in an actual magical girl show. It doesn't focus on comedy, which is just a shame. Especially the ending, it tries to be comedic, but they really pushed it with the action.
The characters aren't so bad, but Sakuyo is actually just hella boring. First of all, she only has a real personality when she transforms, and overall, there is practically nothing dedicated to her, other than the backstory we get. She's one of the main characters, come on. Do something with her, rather than just having her as an add on to Saki. However, most characters aren't bad. They just don't get much of a time to shine, since the plot is so boring.
Unfortunately, poor storytelling does none of the characters justice, and this anime would be lifted much higher, if it only had better episode layouts.
