Same. He pretty much made the show for me.

This show was half magical girl parody and half pedobait. It does both pretty well.

The Miton abuse in this show was EVERYTHING. So much so that it overshadowed the pedobait aspect by like an extra 20% easy.

The show works out if you just want a parody magical girl show that doesn't "go to the extremes".

For the average anime viewer, this will probably be a miss if you aren't already digging through almost every magical girl series you can find within the past few years.

It is cute and silly, and the "loli-bait" level is not even higher than the standard magical girl show (which may be taken as disturbing for different reasons).

Enjoyed it for how it went, and that's much it, shame it ends so abruptly with no overall plot as the review mentioned, just wished it kept on going so that the certain plot points could have been resolved, but nope, oh well. >.>

It looks like to be a one-off series as it is, all more with Miton abuse as per users say, lol. X3

No real overall plot, cuts off abruptly. The pastels can become grating after a while, the moaning in the transformation feels out of place.
Hehe, about that last bit, judging from the latest special chapter about the manga author attending a recording session of the anime adaptation, even he was somewhat weirded out by how insistent the sound director was about those moans. "Let's add a little of that in there<...> hmm, a little sexier... <retake> a little longer, and also in a more erotic way... <retake> do it a bit more like you're enjoying it... <retake> just for this one bit, feel free to make it less girlish and more adult-like, erotic" Smile

Anyway, this was the first time I've watched an anime based on a manga I'd read beforehand, and I'm mostly okay with it. I didn't care much for the ratcheted-up eroticism (the manga had no extended transformation sequences, and the swimsuit scenes were about as tame as Squid Girl), but the voice acting and character animation certainly added to the humour, and indeed, those were some well-animated henshins. As for plot, I knew that there wouldn't be any in advance, so I'm not too bothered by its absence. In case you're wondering about the rest of the manga, spoiler[there still isn't much of one as of chapter 21, but shortly after the events shown in the anime the manga starts dropping hints of major drama in the past, and there have been a few relatively heavy flashbacks. Not really enough to derail the series as a comedy, but definitely intriguing as to where the author is planning on taking it.] I highly doubt that there'll be any sequels to the anime, but then I was never exactly expecting the manga to get adapted at all, so I'll just be satisfied with what we got, I guess.

I liked the show's pastel-esque art style, as well that most episodes ended with a brief, sudden retort of sorts (like "No!", or "Never").

Where can I find the manga?

@TheFullmetalOne Here, although most of the chapters aren't online any more. There are links to purchase the volume for Kindle, but I don't know if it's available outside Japan. That's probably it, as far as legal means go...

.. but she also has to wear an outfit that makes her uncomfortable.

On top of that everyone who sees her -- including her own mom! -- tends to perv out over her.

It is hard to see what the point of this anime is, but I have to admit does a pretty good job of filling in 5 minutes that I often have waiting for someone.

Wasn't a bad show and a bit fun but the 3 minutes for episode ruined the immersion for me, never understand these shorts where the opening is 50% of the overall lenght. Prefer the other forma, 10 minute/episode like Luluca.

For me it was only another show that can be easy to forget. At some points it was funny but other were also boring.

I only watched because I am fan of magical girl anime.

I'll just say it was a "cute" show but I have to say that this was nothing compared to Moetan. At least they portrayed stated that she was as old as she looked. It was funny too.
