Review of Gushing over Magical Girls
Peak Ecchi anime about magical girls that borders on hentai. Plot: To start, there's an actual story here. It's about a girl named Utena who adores magical girls and even dreams of becoming one. A little spirit companion grants her the gift of transforming into a magical girl, but with a twist—she joins team Evil. As the episodes unfold, Utena gradually comes to embrace her role in evil, largely through her interactions with the magical girls, Tres Magia. And by interactions, I mean Ecchi at its finest, teetering on the edge of hentai. Along her journey, she allies with characters that assist her in tormenting TresMagia, and that's what it mainly boils down to majority of the episodes.
Overall, the story progresses nicely, and it's surprisingly decent. There's character growth in a lot of characters, but primarily from two characters I noticed: one growing in a weirdly positive direction, and the other, the main character (MC), developing in a seemingly negative manner yet positive from her perspective. Also did I mention it's very Ecchi? Let me mention it again just to be sure.
The opening and ending themes are good. While the opening might not be the greatest, it's still good and memorable. Very chill.
In summary: A great Ecchi anime. If a season 2 was made, I'd watch it.
