![]() Leader of the bullies at school is Sarina. When she accidentally uses it to kill one of her tormentors and a would-be rapist, Aya discovers that the gun is a teleporter that can send people to any place she holds clearly in her mind. Brotherly love, the Magical Girl Site way.Ĭontacted by the mysterious Magical Girl Site, which seeks out “unfortunate souls,” Aya receives a “stick,” that is, a magic wand, which resembles a pistol with a heart-shaped barrel. No clear reason for his craziness ever gets revealed, though a brief, one-second scene suggests that he beats his sister partly because his father beats him. But I stand by its overall conclusion: This is a show too desperate to be on the edge, an edge that so many shows have been on already, it looks clichéd rather than groundbreaking.Īs I mentioned before, the story starts with a young girl, Aya, being tortured by most everybody for no reason, including a group of school bullies and more especially her mentally sick older brother, who seems to be some kind of sexless version of a sadist (he believes he is a superior being chosen by God, and that his sister is his personal punching bag). That initial hot take, unsurprisingly, contained a few speculations that turned out to be incorrect. I’ve previously discussed my reaction to the first episode. In spite of my initial distaste, I found myself getting into it. It starts out by trying too hard, though it gets interesting in its second half. If Magical Girl Raising Project was a poor man’s Battle Royale, then Magical Girl Site is a poor man’s Magical Girl Raising Project. Starring Yuko Ono, Himika Akaneya, and Aina Suzuki. Magical Girl Site, written by Takayo Ikami and Kentaro Sato.
