(Average+) Magical Girl Ore

Series in one sentence:
Everyone's bisexual for each other.


Series in more sentences:

Saki wants it all; the boy of her dreams and breaking through as a cute pop idol duo with her best friend, who is also the sister of her crush.

After having a dream about being a "magical girl superhero" involving her crush, a dubious man shows up at her door and informs her it's a real thing. Her mother is revealed to be one, even, but her duties greatly weakened her over the years and a replacement is needed now that demons are attacking the city.
Saki loves the concept and accepts, though the transformation is far from conventional. She turns into a muscular man wearing a cute dress.



Total madness, but the show managed to make sense out of it. I loved the first few episodes, the humor was on point and cute, but near the end things became less exciting. If you can believe this.


Saki's best friend, who's also blessed with powers at one point, also worried me a little at one point. I'm never charmed by lovestruck characters who turn into  very real rapists, but after one or two episodes, she calms down a bit.
Still not sure why Saki was fine sitting next to her after that scene where she tried to wrestle her down like nothing happened, but alright.

It's sad that the show lost its comedic touch, there were way less (good) jokes as it progressed. Maybe they wanted to focus more on the story? There was one episode that didn't progress the story at all; it was some major complaint about having to reach an episode's deadline or how the animation business worked? It was incredibly boring, I couldn't watch it for long.


It's a short series, I guess it wouldn't be a waste of time to check it out for yourself.
