Has anyone seen this? I saw this expecting to see some forgetable short OAV series and instead what I saw surprised me. I don't think there's been much magical girl anime which successfully captures the terror, fear and complete crushing of a magical girl's soul as successfully. Sure, one might argue about scenes of Sailor Moon running from some yoma but those were more comical and do not convey the darkness of this so effectively. Also, I've never quite seen such a genki "gambare" chater-type have her spirit crushed so completely like this before.
Watching this little gem brings some questions: Is this based on a manga? What is the relationships between the two girls? (I don't think they're sisters and some might argue that the pair is even slashable as a couple).
This OAV series looks like if it was remade as a TV series with a higher budget, it could have some potential to be on par or outdo Nanoha. I mean it has Mamiko Noto and Yukari Tamura as magical girls. Sure, the Tuxedo Mask ripoff and the transformation of the villain at the end was cheesy but I see the potential if this is developed further.
Anyone else seen this?
