It is undeniable that
the anime adaptation of “Mahou Shoujo ni
Akogarete (Gushing over Magical Girls)” was one of the
highlights during theWinter-2024 season (January-March). In fact, it was
considered one of the “surprises” of the season, especially because the theme
of magical girls has been so over-exploited that no one gives a thought for a
new series of the genre that does not have “Madoka” in the title.
qualification.
However,
the clever combination of erotica and magical girls, mixed with some yuri (the real kind, not the yuri-bait
that goes nowhere in the story) allowed this adaptation to attract
attention with each of its new episodes week after week. The story
focuses on Utena Hiiragi, a magical girl fan who gets the opportunity to join
this world, but with an interesting twist. It turns out that Utena is recruited
to become a villain, and through this new job she discovers her masochistic
tendencies and the pleasure she takes in torturing the magical girls she adores
so much.
The series aired its
final episode this week, but sadly did not report on the production of any
continuation in the form of a second season or a movie. The adaptation
covered up to Chapter 24 of the original “Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete” manga, so
those interested in knowing how the story continues should start with Chapter
25. Currently the original work has more than fifty chapters, so There
is enough content to produce a sequel.
Will this
sequel arrive in the future? It
didn't take long for fans to debate about it:
- « My hopes for a second
season are quite low for this type of series .»
- " I'm waiting for an
OVA or a second season ."
- " It was a good final
episode, but when it comes to beach episodes, it's like a final closure ."
- « Ah, it's over. Will
there be a second season or an OVA? ».
- " Seriously, it's an
ecchi masterpiece on a level we rarely see in the genre ."
- " It was a great
story between perverts being abused by a pervert ."
- « Many ecchi announced
their second seasons, and they were pretty bad, how come this series
didn't? ».
- « I would really like to
know what happens next. Can we wait for a second season? ».
- « A good anime, really
little has been seen in recent years. I would like a second season to be
made before the manga ends or someone cancels it .
