It may be a terrible analogy, but <i>Magical Project S<\/i> was mountain goat anime.<\/p>\n<p>It became terribly weird to watch anime in which Aeka was the ultimate evil and Ryoko was a devoted and loyal servant of Juraihelm, but these aren&#8217;t the same characters as before. Ryo-Ohki had human intelligence and an entirely different gender (which is why he was so embarrassed to be in the bath with Sasami). Sasami was a very good lead and Misao was great when she emerged from her chrysalis.<\/p>\n<p>The final ten episodes raised <i>Magical Project S<\/i> from a simply enjoyable series to a rockin&#8217; fun great series. That said, it&#8217;s not simply a case of &#8220;tolerating&#8221; the first fifteen. Development was handled very well and Tsunami was great, although quite how she was fit for ruling I&#8217;m not sure. But that&#8217;s the whole point!<\/p>\n<p>The <i>omake<\/i> movie trailer was hilarious, and I wish all fake movies could be like that. It took a while for me to warm to the second ED, but it grew on me for sure. A good series has an ending that makes you sad to see it go, but ultimately satisfies. <i>Magical Project S<\/i> did just that.<br \/>\nIt was a triumph of direction for Akiyama Katsuhito, who directed the worst thing that I watched last year &#8211; <i>Armitage III: Dual-Matrix<\/i>. When he works with traditional AIC material, he is a king.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This series peaked many times in the last ten episodes.
