If we review the most
popular series of the Winter-2024 (January-March) season , it
will surely come as a surprise that a magical girl ecchi like “ Mahou Shoujo ni
Akogarete ( Gushing over Magical Girls )” is
quite high on the list. It is the story of Utane Hiiragi, a magical girl fan
who sees her dream fulfilled (half-way) by becoming Magia Baiser, the great
villain.
However,
she discovers that she takes extreme pleasure in punishing and humiliating the
magical girls she admires so much, which sparks an interest in remaining a
villain and continuing to punish her heroines. But of course, the story alone is
not attractive enough, or so it seems. Since each new episode goes viral on
social networks due to the high ecchi content shown in the punishments that
Magia Baiser inflicts on the magical girls. The content is such that
you can see nipples, crotches and butts, obviously without reaching any hentai
content.
There is already an
uncensored version that is broadcast on AT-X television, however, the
version that will be included on the Blu-ray/DVD will apparently have even less
censorship , as reported in the statements. In fact, some
select episodes of this version will be screened at the Cinem@rt Shinjuku on
March 17, 2024 in Japan , also featuring a talk by the participating
voice actresses: Yuuko Aisaka as Matama Akoya and Minami
Tsuda as Nemo Anemo.
This screening will
be for adults only, and tickets will go on sale starting March 6 in
Japan. What will it be like to watch a hard-ecchi on a movie screen
then? Obviously this curious movement did not go unnoticed in the
comment forums:
- « Will they provide
disposable tissues at the entrance to the cinema? ».
- « Oh yes, come on! ».
- " This is a joke? ».
- « I would love to go, but
they put it on a day when I will be on a business trip, there is nothing
to do .»
- " It seems that only
the weirdest will go to these screenings ."
- « Why do they do it on the
same day as the “Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku (Magical Girl Raising
Project)” recital? The fanbases of both franchises are definitely the
same, so they should take that into consideration .
- " I wonder if I can
go, I have to work that day ."
- " I would really like
to go, but the thought of watching this kind of series surrounded by other
men seems quite strange to me ."
