![]() Out of the 15 anime I'm watching this season though, Magical Destroyers is one of the three I look most forward to watching each week. Among those of you where something like this wouldn't be your cup of tea, that's totally understandable. ![]() And if you aren't, you definitely should. If action fight scenes, magical girl transformations, otaku culture, and mature humor is something you enjoy, you're probably already watching this show. The ED meanwhile is ominous and serene, a moment of tranquility following the chaos of the show that also raises questions about what the fate of these characters will be in the end. The OP is blunt and weird in the best way possible, an appetizer for what's in store for the viewer in the world of Magical Destroyers. strongest attributes I can give the show. The OP and ED couldn't be any more different from each other in tone, but both are some of the If it continues at this pace, alongside the superb quality of the animation and art direction, I think Magical Destroyers may end up being the sleeper hit of the season. That said, with what has been shown in the first three episodes, the development of the plot, characters, and world-building has been coming along together smoothly so far. Even if that were so my interest as a viewer in trying to dissect context or meaning from this show is NOT being ushered by any easy discoveries that the writers are giving back as compensation for everything else being so dense.Īs this is an original anime, it's anyone's best guess how well the story of Magical Destroyers will play out once episode 12 arrives. Aside from deep cultural/historical cuts that are flying above my head here. 3 episodes in and it's unclear if this story, characters or setting is onto ANYTHING. ![]() Not false advertising so to speak, just wish they took anything from the direction/tone/style of the OP as inspiration for what the anime could be like. However, going from the opening sequence to the actual show is kind of similar to watching a cool mobile game ad and then. No, it truly is, that's not an understatement. It has all of Hiroyuki Imaishi's signature immaturity, but any of his wit or social commentary has been sanded down flat. The story is harder to follow than a cheetah in the desert and the characters are a real Sophie's choice. It's glued together with surprisingly good yet unrefined animation the most fun you'll have with this show is looking at it right up until you're bombarded with the occasional nonsensical visual soup. This show feels like someone tried to disassemble FLCL, Dead Leaves, and Kill La Kill and build some sort of hulking irreverent Frankenstein's Monster with its parts. If by chance the score turns out to be similar to what The Pillows made for FLCL, probably only then it can be redeemed. The ending on the other hand is extremely easy on the ear. There is zero music in it after the brief opening part, it is pure unadulterated jarring, annoying white noise. That opening theme, no matter how you cut it, is garbage in terms of music. It sort of feels like if you took Bocchi the Rock and blended it with Tatami Galaxy, and then remixed all of it in a solution of typical trigger styled animation, this would be something akin to that. Cool sequences and clean cuts at times, but needs more polish. Here's to hoping it'll be positive, because this clearly has huge potential.ĭecent animation so far. Having said that, the Anime has a lot to reveal, and develop from here if it wants be great. However, for whatever you believe' sake, don't even contemplate about thinking that Otaku culture is simply an obsession with Anime and Manga. It is sort of an alternate Japan, a post apocalyptic Japan of some sort, where everything about Otaku culture is wiped clean by the SSC. If anything, one can say it is a patchwork of parts from FLCL, Shimoneta, Panty and Stocking and Kill la Kill, with a dash of Madoka Magica sprinkled over Everything is as advertised in the synopsis, and the characters are exactly as you think they are. ![]() It is very average and under developed at this point, but a lot can change between now and the end of this season. Nor is it Shimoneta for Otakus of this generation, could be, again, not right now. Just so you know, this is not the FLCL of this generation. ![]()
