Since I’m not really fond of the genre, it had been a long time since I watched a Magical girl anime, let alone a FUNNY and ENTERTAINING Magical girl anime. The fantastic world of of Mgical Pokaan is brightly colored, good animated and with some good strategically put innuendo.

This anime is made by Studio Elements Garden and REMIC

STORY

The plot is simple: It’s 4 superhuman girls that come from the netherworld and start living in the Earth, up un a huge tree. The main char would be the Magical girl, Uma, then her 3 friends: Pachira (Vampire), Liru (Werewolf), and Aiko (Android). They all live together and have a lot of adventures experiencing common stuff. . . like paying for stuff.

GRAPHICS

The animation sequences (Magic Circles, etc) are pretty flashy, not very detailed but do the trick. The characters are brightly colored and well animated. It uses some 3D graphics mainly in the ED sequence. Overall, it does the job pretty fine.

SOUND & MUSIC

The intro song is pretty good, although it’s not what I’d expect in this kind of anime. I would’ve expected something really “sweet” with a girl singing in an UNDER17 kind of squeaky voice, but I really liked this more serious (?) approach. The ED song is pretty cool, just because it’s the same audio track with different lyrics depending on the character that appears onscreen (One of the 4 main chars). They’re full of love-love nonsense!

OVERALL

A pretty entertaining show about common stuff in the eyes of total strangers to the outside world. Add to that some panty shots, some lesbian innuendo, a bit of stupidity, and voila! you have this series. NOT wasted time in my opinion.
