Make no mistake, Katsute Mahou Shoujo to Aku wa Tekitai shiteita. is an efficient sequence. However it’s fairly exhausting to pin down. That basically appears to be a Fujiwara Cocoa trait. Inu X Boku SS was one of the crucial excruciatingly troublesome exhibits to categorize that I can keep in mind, which is likely one of the massive causes I ended up liking it a lot. This one jogs my memory a number of Mister Villain’s Day Off in each premise and tone, little doubt. However it’s nonetheless exhausting to inform what we’ve got right here.
I caught myself pondering this week that Katsute has maybe probably the most stunning transformation sequence in mahou shoujo. I’m in no way a fan of the style, however I’ve seen a number of it over time and nothing else involves thoughts. That is Bones in spite of everything, so the top quality just isn’t surprising, however it’s fairly atypical for them by way of model. Mimori herself is after all very stunning, and never in a typical anime approach. She needs to be if the story is to work, since Mira mainly throws his whole life overboard for her.
The woman has extra jobs than she will rely, although “a few of them are one-time” (I don’t even need to take into consideration that, given what we’ve discovered this week). She works for a conbini for one, which Mira finds drop-dead attractive (however that’s no shock since he finds all the things about Mimori drop-dead attractive). She exhibits Mira her enterprise card—prepped by her Kyuubey-esque handler—which reads like a name woman operation masquerading as a therapeutic massage. Clearly these familiars have a deservedly dangerous repute within the magical woman style, however possibly we’re coping with a straight-up pimp right here. This present appears ready to get fairly darkish, so I wouldn’t rule it out.
I additionally have not dominated out the likelihood that Mimori is intentionally enjoying Mira, maybe on the route of her confidant. Mira has brazenly commented on it in each of the primary two episodes, and it actually makes strategic sense. However at this level, that is nonetheless not the most certainly state of affairs, I believe. He is completely hooked anyway – no likelihood of resisting. He is in love together with her, and he is protecting of her, a strong double whammy. And that is all earlier than he sees that she’s apparently about to be tentacled by the slimes he is unleashing on the town (once more, fairly darkish, all issues thought of).
I am nonetheless unsure in regards to the bizarre vocalization with Mira’s minions. And at this level I believe we’re mainly seeing Mimori as Mira sees her – an icon, an object – reasonably than a totally shaped character. However there’s time to vary that (not a lot as Katsute have been a whole present, after all). And I believe Fujiwara works finest if you give up your self to her and let the writing take you the place it needs to go, with out an excessive amount of analytical enter in your half. And the gorgeous visible presentation that Bones brings to the desk makes that even simpler to do.
