    Magical girl retrospective - simulwatch starts 1st Feb 2025

    I note in that article that it mentions Sally the Witch. The manga isn't as old, but the anime adaptation came out first (1966 as opposed to '69) and was possibly the first Shoujo anime pre-dating the Princess Knight anime too! Sally is another magical princess though. Both mangas came out after...

    Had a thought after watching ep 4 of Momo and 1 of Mami. Princess Knight didn't have any magic, Momo is from a magic kingdom so already has magical powers, but Mami is given hers by an alien, is that the first time it's gifted by an outside force? I know it's a meme now to be aware of cute...

    Fairy Princess Minky Momo eps 1-4 The first 2 episodes did seem to be quite wacky in both set up and the resolution of the problem presented with the dastardly villain trying to grab a horse racing stable by any means and then a prank gone wrong and proving Megane to be the best tag! But episode...

    Kaiju No. 8 (dub) eps 7-12 (complete) Second mission and another test. Got a bit more shounen-y with more action and a couple of fights where one of the characters shouted out his attack moves during it, but overall quite enjoyable. The art and animation were also quite good, although sometimes...

    Princess Knight (dub) eps 1 & 2 For the simulwatch. Kaiju No. 8 (dub) eps 2-6 Audition, training and first mission. Pretty easy watch. The main character isn't your typical shounen protag. He's 32, not a total loser, but certainly not cut out for the action hero role, although his previous job...

    Princess Knight eps 1-2 Umm well I will say it felt very Western in style, lots of slapstick comedy and dastardly villains that need stopping every episode. Like others I didn't really see much magical girl type of things, but I suppose the Princess being someone else to fight crime(?) is a...

    The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio eps 9-12 (complete) Reaching 120%! Pretty fun show about the stresses and strains of being a VA. I'm sure it's not 100% accurate to what it's really like, but equally didn't paint everything as being all sweetness and rainbows either like other shows I've...

    MAL says it's also an isekai. 2004, so the very tail end of the traditional isekai shows that were mostly shoujo with female leads rather than the switch to mostly male lead power fantasies later in the decade. Most traditional MGS are in a modern setting aren't they? It's by Studio 4°C which...

    The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio eps 5-8 Fallout, wager and tough gig. The melodramatic turn in episode 7 turned it into a comedy!

    Back to last Spring. I'd thought I'd watch the first episode of the new shows I had left on my list: Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again ep 1 Pretty much what the title says. The comedy's OK, but it's more hornier than I thought it would be. I mean the first "gag" is that the granddaughter now...
