You’re tired of battles because you’re weak and you ended up seeing magical girls…

In reply to Goat. This show is following along the lines of 80s and onwards Magical Girl shows produced by Studio Pierrot, such as Creamy Mami and Fancy Lala, which were the progenitors of the Magical Girl genre as we know it. The core conceit of those was always about a young girl's fantasy wish fulfillment of being able to turn into an older teenager with superpowers who could use those to achieve global pop star fame or the like without having to actually Live as an adult, and those had generally few "fight scenes", if any at all, focusing mostly on original songs and interpersonal drama. Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and later Precure have all established popular Magical Girl shows as battle anime, but the type of show still persists to this day in things like Aikatsu and Pripara, which are ostensibly idol anime with transformation sequences. Basically instead of transforming to "solve problems" or "save the world", think of this show as a kind of Hannah Montana instead, with much lower stakes and a focus on letting young girls live out a fantasy of having magic powers and a bustling music career.

I like Urusai Yatsura, Sailor Moon, Ranma, Azumanga Daioh and Spy Family but this Shojo looks too aimed at young girls for me. If a had a daughter I would show it to them though.

This is going to bomb. Sure there will be people who like it, but magical girl transformations without battles sounds dumb. Literally what would be the point/plot? Not my cup of tea when it comes to genre, but this isn’t going to go over that well. The community is going to crash out period.

In reply to Anonymous. There will be one OVA episode where they briefly fight something. Then the weeb boards will explode in bickering and analyzing power levels.

Serious question from someone who has no idea how the magical girl genre works: I thought the point of the magical girl transformation was something like sailor Moon where they power up to fight battles. What do they do with the transformation when they don’t use it for fighting powers? I know this sounds like a “how do you solve your problems without violence” question, but I hope you can see where I’m coming from, seeing how many other anime series solve their problems with violence.

That’s not going to work! Powerscaling websites like the Outskirts Battledome, Vs Battles Wiki, and SpaceBattles are just going to figure out how to powerscale that series..!
