Dai Mahou Touge: First Impressions

I’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.

   The opening animation makes it so obvious it’s from the same sick minds that brought us Dokuro-chan. xD I wonder if it will follow the same release schedule.

   kacpu: Lol, sick indeed. But I fear the sin of “repetition”.

   Joey: Yeah. It’s a potato commiting ritual suicide in hope of repaying our Princess.

   Well, I think the episode itself was nothing like Dokuro-chan, save for some super deformed faces and bodies. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more.

   Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding. I meant repetition within the series, not with Dokuro-chan. Already, the style of the jokes within DMT are pretty obvious, so…
