Episode 3 – Magilumiere Magical Women Inc.

I used to be curious to see how the broader Magical Woman enterprise labored Magilumiereand this third episode was delivered. Kana is formally a full-time worker on the firm, so it is time for thrilling particulars about wage charges, insurance coverage protection, and firm competitors! I am kidding, however this is one thing Magilumiere exists for. Startups competing with established corporations? Boring. Do you try this via Magical Women who blow up monsters in cool outfits? Now we’re speaking.

Admittedly, there’s comparatively little precise Magical Woman motion on this episode. Kana and Koshigaya have a short interval of extermination midway via, which introduces a Magical Woman from the rival AST Company and demonstrates that aforementioned aggressive side. Right here it is extra of an ego factor than enjoying into anybody’s backside line, because it’s made clear that Magilumiere will nonetheless get all of the funds for the Kaii that the evil magical woman steals from the ladies. Koshigaya is very upset about getting assist without having it, and there is additionally the matter of the AST woman operating off with the Kaii sealed within the USB system. The entire system of sealing, not utterly eradicating, the Kaii is a chunk of world constructing that appears prepared for a much bigger plan or a disaster down the highway, particularly with this element that corporations like AST are doing their greatest to gather them. I am positive it will likely be nice, nothing has ever gone improper within the tales of filling a containment system with monsters.

The introduction to AST is right here to elucidate what makes Magilumiere totally different from these different main Magical Woman corporations. “Aesthetic” is the important thing phrase within the episode title and within the story. Corporations like AST use Magical Women as a necessity within the Kaii extermination business, however when he hears President Koga discuss it, his coronary heart is not actually into the “magic” of it. Maids are hardly an uncommon Magical Woman aesthetic. On this case, one has the sensation that the ladies of AST are explicitly employed staff, staff who’re simply there to carry out a activity. Evaluate that to the extra fluid costumes from Magilumiere wherein the ladies visibly take pleasure in altering garments and the totally different angle in aesthetics involves the fore.

This episode exhibits how Magilumiere’s president Shigemoto takes Magical Women very critically. And for all his passionate debates concerning the acceptable size of ribbon, it is clear that his love for the “aesthetics” of Magical Women is not purely model. Magical Women aren’t solely exterminators, however should even be passionate defenders of their communities. This explains why a lot offense was taken each time Koshigaya would contain civilians in her fights, but additionally makes it clear why she continues anyway and matches in so effectively with Magilumiere. Koshigaya loves her job and turns her particular means of kicking as a Magical Woman into an aesthetic.

Kana’s aesthetic compliments Koshigaya’s and is steadily included into Magilumiere’s total aesthetic. Kana has an inside look as she comes to know issues on this episode, as Koshigaya tells her extra about Magical Woman’s enterprise world and President Shigemoto takes a considerably clumsy strategy to guiding her in understanding Magilumiere’s strategy. He may have advised Kana why they did not use an extended vary magic circle on this final job. However he remained satisfied that Kana itself would understand the harmful influence it might have on the district, and in that means it makes a stronger impression. Kana tailors her powers of remark to Kaii’s eradication, and her resolution to attempt to shield the district by not deploying the magic circle confirms to the corporate that she does match into their aesthetic. It’s proven in distinction to the feedback of AST President Koga, who would blow up the world with no second thought. He is additionally the sort who would think about using his firm’s Magical Women to get his automobile out of a visitors jam, which makes me surprise if he is as business-minded and budget-conscious as he acts.

It is a fundamental sentiment, as you’d count on from an episode that delves deeper into the Magical Woman market setting, which makes it catnip for somebody like me, however it might lose viewers who primarily need to tune in to magical ladies kicking ass . It additionally signifies that the episode does not get as many possibilities to look pretty much as good because the final one, and extra scenes find yourself being a bit janky. However the plot is a needed a part of the bigger, ongoing entire, and like I stated, I discovered all of it fairly attention-grabbing. There must be loads of enjoyable slime taking pictures subsequent week.
