01.04.06由Dindrane @ 4:18上午 ![]() 影片: 字符设计 Kiyohiko Azuma 特点:
Dindrane的芳香树脂警告:
发布: 副词 我的忠告: 首先租赁它。 您可能爱或恨它。 在途中,她遇见几个其他想成为的不可思议的女孩。 首先我们遇见Pipin,指定的敌手为了Padudo。 Pipin的必须服装是有点儿作为在花花公子兔宝宝,完成以兔宝宝耳朵、少许蓬松传说和红萝卜迷信。 当然Myumyu佩带二只猫作为她仅服装,离开大量室为许多欢闹,当猫想要吃时,热闹留给Myumyu的jubblies光秃。 女王Perilun是不可思议的女孩比赛的一个前胜者,并且她的个性离开宁可很多渴望。 她背叛了她假想的朋友, Nonononn,现在是禁止并且警告Padudu关于适合一个不可思议的女孩的暗边。 芥末和番茄酱是Sweetland的二名最佳的警察(认为Mihoshi和Kiyone Tenchi 名望)和夏南瓜是展示的象征性的男性,基本上女王/王后的小屋男孩和henchtoy,虽然他在Myumyu的猫有他自己的设计。 ![]() Clearly, the show is meant to be a kind of adult/older fan parody of Magical Girl shows, complete with goofy costumes, an idiotic na?ve heroine, and requisite battles with villains. It has a great deal of potential for humor, but the show's ambiguity leaves it a bit nowhere. To really appreciate the parody aspects, you have to have watched your fill of idiotic magical girls prancing about in stupid outfits (which doesn't take long), but many American anime fans have not yet learned to hate this genre, and you have to hate it to want to see it skewered as it is in Magical Play. The humor also often depends upon finding amusement in the betrayal (or eating) of friends or allies, but whereas in Excel Saga it has a light enough touch to be funny (and no one every really suffers or gets hurt, as befits a comedy), in Magical Play, it's just mean and flat. The show looks great at least, due to the character designs of Kiyohiko Azuma. Too bad it's like watching Chiyo-chan of Azumanga Daioh go very, very wrong. The sound is also quite good, and both languages have talented casts who ham up their parts properly. Voice hijinks and over-emoting that wouldn't work in a more serious show are called for here. The special features list includes a special 3-D episode, that is basically a retelling of Padudu's arrival in Sweetland. There's also a very nice character gallery, complete with some show references to place them, and a clean opening and closing. The voice actor commentary on the fourth episode, as befits the show, is unusual: instead of actors from the show, two of the three commentators haven't even seen the show before and are basically trying to understand it as they go along. They're almost funnier than the show itself, but not what you might call useful or insightful, and a show like this really could stand some insight. ![]() In essence, this series is the sort that people will either love or hate, and you really just have to see it for yourself to be sure. If it sounds like it might appeal to you, then rent it and give it a shot. It had a lot of potential, especially via Azuma's fantastic artwork, but it just doesn't pull it off. It may look like a children's show, but the 15+ rating is there for a reason. If you liked Excel Saga, then you might like this, but beware that it has less camp and more viciousness, though it doesn't seem to be going for "vicious" so much as "funny." I truly wanted this to be better than it is, but it just doesn't entirely succeed.
