...Can we just skip this one? No? Are you sure? Im pretty sure we can skip this one and itll be fine. Really??? Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I dont wanna But fine 440https://i.ur.com/hqHcWvy.jpg Mahou Shoujo Site is an adaptation of the mangahttps://anilist.co/manga/85666/MagicalGirlSite/ by Kentaro Satouhttps://anilist.co/staff/113199/KentaroSatou. Which is apparently a spinoff of Magical Girl Apocalypsehttps://anilist.co/manga/70175/MagicalGirlApocalypse/ which I guess is magical girls + zombies? Didnt really ever think we needed a combination of magical girls and horror but here we are I guess... I just want to say right out of the gate I dont fucking see what people saw in this at all. And Im not even talking about the people who liked it. Im talking about the people who hated it and dropped it out of seemingly vehement disgust. 440https://i.ur.com/SDZ4GjQ.gif To me it wasnt edgy enough. It wasnt gory enough it wasnt bad enough and it wasnt funny enough. It might partially be a result of the transition from manga into anime... like maybe theres some edgier stuff that was just toned the fuck down or something. But yeah episode one was the closest this series had me going. The over the top tragedy stuff with Asagiri was wonderful. When she was talking about like wanting to die I kind of couldnt think of a rebuttal. Because of what were shown of her life its basically a living nightmare. 440https://i.ur.com/cgOLGgm.png She gets the shit kicked out of her and is tormented at school then she comes home and gets the shit kicked out of her by her sadist brother and her parents just completely do not give a single shit. Also the cat? The fucking cute cuddly looking cat that looks like it doesnt even belong in this series? 440https://i.ur.com/3ti80nZ.png Yeah theres no way that cats gonna be found by the bullies and be gruesomely killed in some waoh it already happened. For a glorious moment I thought this was gonna be the series. Girls who have suffered horrible and terrible lives who are given magical girl powers and then just go on fuckin RAMPAGES of viscera everywhere. 440https://i.ur.com/FVXHB9c.png Instead no. Instead fucking no. Like that shit is immediately thrown out of the window once episode one is done. The show just immediately becomes finding out more about the site and magical girls entering a conflict between the entities that run the Mahou Shoujo Site. And... ...that was just supremely boring to me the entire way through. I just could not care less about it. 440https://i.ur.com/E5HpghT.png But the Tempest is gonna be an apocalyptic event and... I just did not give a single fuck. Like theres a point in the show where they describe like a way better version of this show and thats like the idea that theres a contest of like winning your way to be guarantee your survival once the Tempest hits. But the way to win the contest is you have to be like the magical girl who causes the most pain and suffering. Why couldnt that have been the show. Why couldnt that have been the fucking show. 440https://i.ur.com/JrzhNYr.png Yet no we gotta battle the Mahou Shoujo Site Which... in addition to not caring much at all about Im not sure how I or anyone was expected to ever take seriously. Like I started laughing every single time they showed like the table with all of the site administrators around it. Wow they look so spooky Im so scared 440https://i.ur.com/7CNlN6Y.png These idiots are pissed off that the magical girls are using their powers against the site because they learned about the Tempest but how did they learn about the Tempest...? Oh the way the sites programmed is if you click a certain part of a site administrators body thatll take you to another section of the site that is a literal countdown to this mysterious apocalyptic event that the site administrators seem very in favor of happening. 440https://i.ur.com/OqSktSv.png Maybe... maybe you should have... not had that be visible? On your site? That you run? Youre the ones running the site so if you didnt want them to find out about that then WHY LET THEM BE ABLE TO ACCESS THAT? Really apart from I guess episode one the closest times I was ever entertained through this show was when Asagiris brother was on the screen or talking. 440https://i.ur.com/lxbUO47.png That voice actorhttps://anilist.co/staff/95270/NobuhikoOkamoto knew exactly what was he doing and was just being as over the top and insane sounding and annoying as he possibly could. When the brother just starts full on fucking with the magical girls in spite of whatevers currently happening with the site I was honestly very entertained. But good things of course have come to an end and the show returns to the bland magical battles and talking about the site and I just... ugh. 440https://i.ur.com/pyIcAPu.png Completely boring I guess apart from Asagiris brother I kind of liked Asagiris friend. Though Ive forgotten her name at this point. But thats about all the things I can think of even praising. Like the edgy parts or the parts where some of the magical girls were acting insane were... fun? Its... its still just not enough. 440https://i.ur.com/6BzerVf.png Maybe therell be another magical girl and full on horror combination in the future that changes my mind I doubt it but I just dont think it works honestly. The spooky site administrators are just... theyre just funny. I laughed or chuckled almost every single time they were on the screen and especially when they started battling with the magical girls. I would describe basically the entirety of this series as laughable. 440https://i.ur.com/rwAEYlt.png When the most entertaining parts of your series is when youre trying to be as dark and feel bad as you possibly can and the rest of your series is just occasional magical battles or just talking about a spooky mascot website thats gonna bring about the apocalypse which of course sounds fun in concept but isnt in the execution... eh. Just... eh. A completely deserved 3 out of 10. I probably wouldnt recommend it. Its not good and its not funny enough to be good bad. I guess when it comes down to it all Im saying is I really wish the entire series was about that brother character. 500https://i.ur.com/C0ueBpn.png
