Punie wrestling with mascot
This parody of magical-girl anime is more like magical-princess anime on crack, as sweet-looking Magical Princess Punie from the Magic Kingdom joins a Japanese school for a year on Earth. She has to do this to prove herself worthy of becoming Queen. Punie, in a flashback to how she acquired her mascot, looks more like a brutal and evil witch.
A schoolgirl gang, a frightening collection of burly and well-armed freaks, take an instant dislike to Punie, but when they try to sort her out, she invokes her magic, with the call of “Magical Tokarev, kill them all”, and unleashes a swarm of fighting vegetables. In a later sequence, Punie, with her magic temporarily blocked, demonstrates wrestling skills which are equally dangerous.
It’s almost a shame to tell you all this, as if you watched it as I did with only the vaguest idea what to expect, you might almost fall out of your chair in surprise.
So, is it worth watching? Certainly the first pair of mini-episodes are a lot of fun, and I’ll probably follow it a bit longer to see how it develops.
