Dai Mahou Touge: First Impressions
Wednesday, April 19th, 2006I’ve seen some crazy hybrid (multi-genre) anime series (I think…), but Dai Mahou Touge must be one of the craziest. On a first look basis, you might think it’s a typical “princess to undergo trial on Earth” shoujo anime (Sugar Sugar Rune anybody?).
Yes, our princess summons vegetables to her aid. But watch a little longer and you’ll see the weirdness begin… Our cute little princess has a pretty (extremely?) violent side.
That, of course, isn’t helped by the fact that we have some rather violent-looking characters in the first place.
And while you might expect magical rods to have some really “cutish” activation commands, our princess’ rod is an exception (see screenshot below).
But so far, it’s a pretty amusing and fun series, though only time can tell how long the director can keep things going.
P.S.: This series is definitely not suitable for children.
