Somewhere in this mess, Takeshi has suddenly acquired the ability to see his opponent and dodge…and not much else. Mui is on the run from her brother and his goons and this inevitably leads to a scene where there’s loads of fighting. This is where the major crux of the show starts to make itself known.
Mui is understandably unnerved by her new locale but her reaction is still ludicrous and enough to unsettle the audience rather than compel them. Things get even less great when he encounters a young girl named Mui, rescues her from death and then nurses her back to consciousness.
So it’s not great on the relationship front either. He seems to have a girlfriend in the form of Kurumi although they haven’t kissed and he has recently started referring to her by surname only denoting he’s not really interested or somewhat distant. Our main story though is about a guy named Takeshi who yearns to get away from his disturbed mother and he doesn’t care where it is he ends up. Our first shot is a rip from the first Matrix film in that it’s in a green-tinted subway and it’s a battle of wits between two overpowered magicians with no backstory or explanation whatsoever. The basic formula for a magical show is now etched into the minds of anime fans everywhere and Magical Warfare does little, if anything, to break away from the mould. However, with such freedom and exposure, there’s a price to pay and that price is staleness.
MAGICAL WARFARE SERIES
Since Harry Potter became a global sensation, especially in Japan, the magical academy genre has exploded with loosely inspired series with some standout examples being Freezing! and Little Witch Academia. It’s a genre with loads of potential to be exciting and original, you can do anything you want and link it back to some magical lore it’s a writer’s paradise.
