2 minutes in and The Stories of Girls Who Couldn't Be Magicians already has some of the prettiest backgrounds this season

Watched the 3rd mg title of the season, "The Stories of Girls who Couldn't Be Magicians"

And I just want to say I'm so proud of this little show?

Like back in 2018 it was announced as the winner of Project ANIMA, an initiative to animate upcoming novels in certain categories. "Mahoutsukai ni Narenakatta Onnanoko Hanashi" was the winner for fantasy and even though the book was released, the only illustration revealed for the anime for years was this

I've had it on my timeline since 2018 waiting for any news to drop about it, I was starting to think it was canceled

But then this past year it was in fact not dead but thriving and looked like nothing I was expecting. It also has one of the most gorgeous art directions this season? I'm interested in how they'll shake up the whole "magic school" setup that's going on.

Of the 3 mg shows this season it definitely has the best opening sequence too (No offense to Acro Trip and Magilumiere, but this kinda stuff is my jam)

Don't sleep on this one magigirl fans, I think it'll be a surprise hit

Maho Tsukai ni Narenakatta Onna no Ko no Hanashi character profiles

[nijigasakilove]

Oh my god this art style is gorgeous dude mahou shoujo stans eating so good this season.(I know I know technically not mahou shoujo, but it’s still cute girls using magic so whatever) Also the Kingdom Hearts composer is working on this. Might be the most magical show I’ve ever seen! AOTS contender for sure.

The art and aesthetic Truly feels like an otherworldly adventure really draw you in and make you feel like you’re in another world. JC staff have proven they can handle fantastical shows like this with Sugar Apple Fairy Tale so I’m very excited to see where this goes. Kurumi is already very endearing and I find myself wanting to see her succeed and achieve her magical goals. This concept isn’t that novel, but we don’t see it with girls a lot and I naturally prefer female MCs and casts so I’m excited!

Yuzu is the other big thing for me. Her face card is valid, reminds me so much of Nyammy/Yuki from wanpre. I can see a little rivalry arc developing with she and Kurumi before becoming friends and I’m here for it.

The action looked really cool, that battle was great! this is such a creative anime man I love stuff like this and there’s so many cool directions it can go in. The teacher, Minami is def gonna be one of my fave characters I can tell. Roxy, if she was a good character 😂

I have been busy as hell (more so mentally) with work lately but I wanted to share some thoughts on other magical girl things:

So Glitter Force and GF DokiDoki are leaving Netflix next month. Although it is… what it is, it’s how I got into PreCure, and by extension, magical girl anime, and by extension, anime as a whole, so I can’t help but be sad about this. I know this is the case with other magical girl fans too.

I’m watching Magilumiere and MahoNare too! The former is good and I like it bc I can relate to it lol. The latter is a little slow for now but I love the pastel, dream-like aesthetic of the animation and it’s a nice, lighthearted thing to watch!

As a heads up, I plan on posting my predictions for 2025 PreCure on November 1st, but depending on my (inconsistent) schedule, I could post it sometime around then. Because of work I may not post until then.

"Mahoutsukai ni Narenakatta Onnanoko no Hanashi" - October 4, 2024

another magical girl show premiered! mahonare is also peak so far. it gives little witch academia and witch hat atelier vibes. also its the prettiest show i've ever seen. i'm not kidding, look at this

the artstyle and colours really do give off storybook vibes and its such a delight to look at. i'm definitely gonna be tuning in to this every week too.

First impressions on The Stories of Girls Who Couldn't Be Magicians

("MahoNare" from now on)

I don't really consider this to be a magical girl show, since I think mahou tsukai and mahou shoujo have their own distinct tropes, but it's close enough. And their magic wands definitely have a magical girl look.

The story is about a girl who was super impressed by magic as a kid and has worked all her life to get into a magic school, only to be rejected and end up in the non-magical standard program. However it appears that she may get to study magic after all thanks to an eccentric teacher.

I expected a more serious mood from this, similar to Witch Hat Atelier, but the tone has been quite comedic instead, like for example the main girl's agony over being rejected is played mostly for laughs. The side cast cast also seems to have some quite colourful personalities. Not really criticism but I did have to adjust my expectations somewhat.

Speaking of the side cast, holy cow does the first episode introduce a lot of characters. I tried taking a tally after watching and got closer to 20. Slow down a bit maybe, I'm really struggling to keep up here!

The supercute pastel art style deserves a special mention, MahoAku now has some competition for Mahou-furbies annual awards Best Art category. Character designs are also good and memorable, and the school uniform gets big points too.

Overall definitely thumbs up for this one, very interested to see where it goes.
