This review contains spoilers I must mention certain scenes and episodes to support my arguments. Repulsively worthless. I have a loveandhate relationship with edgy anime. Sometimes in spite of their varying quality they can be fun. While on other occasions they are nothing short of abysmal. While many deem the word edgy to be nothing more than a buzzword that is used as a substitute for concrete arguments it cannot be denied that there are countless examples of shows that could be labelled as such. Sure the definition and what classifies a series as edgy may differ from person to person. However it is undeniable that Mahou Shojo Site embodies the trying way too hard to be cool that it comes off as cringeworthy definition in every sense of the word. The show combines the edginess with a complete lack of creativity care wit and passion which qualified it to become a product that is unbelievably disgusting hilariously cretinous and undeserving of even an ounce of respect. Mahou Shojo Sites narrative has but one goal in mind: being as overthetop shocking controversial and offputting as humanly possible. This approach is more than apparent in the very first episode. Through its twentysomething minutes runtime we are forced to endure witnessing comically excessive and exaggerated bullying domestic abuse and even sexual assault inflicted on Aya Asagirihttps://anilist.co/character/88563/AyaAsagiri the protagonist by the people around her. In case you the viewer were not already taken aback by the extremeness of its corniness the show continues displaying such images in a painfully consistent manner. The entire world she inhabits seems to be filled to the brim with moustachetwirling villains who in their free time tie damsels in distress to rail tracks for their sick amusement. The school bullies and her abusive psychotic brotherhttps://anilist.co/character/126367/KanameAsagiri grin with utmost glee when they have the chance to harm the protagonist both physically and mentally. However everything changes when Asagiri discovers the eponymous Magical Girl site. She obtains a magical item meets and befriends other girls and the show tries to push its actual plot forward. Yet any plot point or development does not amount to anything. Characters interact with each other exchange dialogue between themselves and perform certain actions but this does not bear any significance. It is comparable to observing paint dry it does nothing for you. At this point it is merely pointless. The facade fell off and the true intentions revealed themselves. The anime never cared about its narrative or characters as there is no clear direction for most of the animes duration. What truly matters is the shock factor the cute high school girls acting like psychopaths and trying to make the viewer as uncomfortable as possible. 600https://i.ur.com/yTr0AKg.png edgyface12434.png As for the characters I am in neverceasing bewilderment. Putting aside the bullies and Asagiris brother we are greeted by a whole horde of cardboard cutouts that are devoid of any personality goals creativity and humanity. Despite her absurdly cruel environment Aya fails to be a character worth rooting for. She is one of the laziest depictions of an abused and depressed person in fiction and the show does not care about her. She is cannon fodder and a punching bag used to generate shock nothing more and nothing less. The people she becomes friends with are even worse. They are all psychopaths who abused and even killed someone at one point yet the show never questions their actions. As long as you are an awful person for someone other than the protagonist it is all dandy. It is impossible to care about these ridiculously onenote personages who feel like horrid caricatures pulled straight from a fanfiction piece written by an edgy teenager. I would forgive the show for all of its sins if it managed to be ironically funny. It takes itself so seriously that I was more than willing to sit back and enjoy the absurdity and the shallowness. However Mahou Shoujo Site fails to do that much. It not even once managed to make me laugh it is just that monotonous and tiring. Not even a generous amount of alcohol within my blood would make this travesty anything worthwhile. The production values are merely lifeless and barebones. The art style is plainly ugly as the colours the backgrounds and the character design are detestable unpolished and hollow. The fact the art style is hyperfocused on the psycho crazy faces everyone has to display at least once does not help. The animation is junky inconsistent and rigid but at the very least it is present. None of the insert songs was passable enough for my brain to remember. The same thing applies to the opening as well. The sole highlight of the audiovisuals is the ending which combines 2D and liveaction with sperm flying in the background. I wish I was joking right now. I could have gone into much greater detail in this writeup yet I deem it unnecessary. It may not be my bte noire but MHS does not deserve any investment or attention. In each and every episode it unquestionably demonstrates how horrendous vile tryhard shallow shockfactorfulled and disgraceful it is at the core. It is torture to watch and that is all there is to it. Repaying laziness with laziness. This review is a rewritten version of a wack meme review of the anime I wrote back when it finished airing. It was short painfully unfunny and generally awful but I still count it as my review. So I breathed new life into it surely its still short as hell but the anime does not deserve a thorough writeup.
