Magical Play – An Overall Review -

Comment now!

Padudu 0.jpgThis is a pretty good underground comedy anime about some girls that have live animals as normal garments. They also get to eat one. Did I get your attention? Good. Let’s check this out. . .

This anime has some funny things. First of all, the character design goes by comedy master Kiyohiko Azuma (Azumanga Daioh!). It’s also brought to the U.S. by ADV.

STORY

It’s a simple plot: There’s a girl that is trying to get a lot of “flower stamps” so she can become a Magical Girl. But she’s not the only one; she’ll find many hardships ahead of her and allies as well as rivals. Pretty standard, but quite enjoyable.

GRAPHICS

Character design by Kiyohiko Azuma ensures a good quality in the animation. The main characters’ personalities are fastly rememberable, and the Costumes as well as the places where the action develops are bizarre yet cool enough.

SOUND AND MUSIC

Seikou Nagaoka is the one responsible for the audio art of this anime. It’s Opening Theme, Padudu Papadowa, is quite catchy and stays in your brain for some weeks, although it’s enjoyable. The BGM is filled with a good amount of “bass beats”, but aside from that, nothing really interesting, since it gets little fragments from the OP. I don’t really remember the ED. . .

OVERALL

Although this anime is 4 eps. long (plus the 3d special), it doesn’t really “end”; story develops to a point, then nothing happens? will Padudu reach her dream of becoming a Magical Girl? Might want to read the manga instead. . .

Besides that, its a good comedy series with a slice of WTF in your cereal plate. Totally recommendable for watching with some friends or alone. Watch after 11:30 p.m. to ensure an unforgettable audivisual ~Trip~(Don’t forget to hear the English Audio Commentary after finishing the series[It's way too hilarious to hear the dubbers talking nonsense about anything!]).
