Review of Gushing over Magical Girls

This show tries to both be a serious, meaningful mahou-shoujo romp and a plotless ecchi at the same time. Needless to say, it doesn't work. It is incredibly jarring when scenes where the characters have deep interactions with one another are followed by inexplicable sexuality, and this juxtaposition happens repeatedly throughout the show, muddling any gravity the character interactions actually had. It feels like the writers haphazardly mixed together elements from standard magical girl anime and hentai without any attempt to reconcile the differences between the two genres. If you're just interested for the anime titties, you'll probably like the show. But if you weredrawn in by the interesting premise, then unfortunately, its insistence on gratuitous eroticism makes the delivery of the plot fall incredibly flat.
