#not doing the just ebony tag because it's kinda flooded by the photos of Which We Shall Not Speak

so because i follow a couple magical girl blogs i’m seeing a lot of the new magia record girl on my dash.

And apart from the obvious “ebony dark’ness dementia raveen way” jokes, what i’m thinking is “how did it end up like this?”

Like, forgive me if I’m wrong, but PMMM started out as a really cool little series with a dark and golden twist about the concept of mahou shoujo, and they could have honestly left it at that.

But then we got Oriko, Kazumi and Tart, and then Magia Record, and the more of it I’m seeing the more I’m thinking that it seems to be so far from the original concept it’s honeslty remarkable.

And now with Ebony, and I’m pretty uncomfortable with seeing kid characters (at least she seems to be a teenager) with her sort of clothing, especially since I’ve learned about the ways anime art style has changed over the years, and I dunno man it just feels off in some way.
