The amount of bloodshed is escalating quickly right after new rules posted. The wickedness in some characters push forward the story as it should be. They begin to try any attempt to keep surviving. Magical girls figure got stained here. I don't know why but I felt like watching the opposite of Maleficent movie. Maleficent is a dark themed movie and actually she is a good protagonist there, whereas Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku is using luminous figure of magical girls and stain that popularity. I don't even know whether I should believe in magical girls later or not lol Magical girls are killing other magical girls. They're "killing" them for sure. Don't ask to me how many of them die here ( ´•̥̥̥ω•̥̥̥` )
P.S.: If you're not ready to see them die, take your leave of this one. It's not a spoiler, you'll see them die within 2 or 3 episodes.
The new rules, which is already planned from the game, is not the only update. Other options unlock as their life at stake. For sure, those options make them even more stressful and forcibly make them more aggressive towards other magical girls. Well-framed fights, sometimes we find them not fighting and a few died (watch it by yourself) by others' deeds. The coup de grâce happens here is softcore gore. I like it that way, they don't hide it in a weird way like changing blood color or minimizing the blood splash. They cover up the gore parts if needed only, and it's replaced with appropriate precision from different angles.
I like even simple thing they did to the girls. They put on girly things make them look more lively like putting on nail polish, eyeshadow, and lipstick for some characters.
The uniqueness of each character is shown by their characters design in appearance, they resemble different kind of individuality. It's making them taste different and pleasing. The difference also applies on their abilities. Some with beneficial ability in combat and some not which is rather unfair. But looking at their characters once more, yeah they are being gifted suitable ability for them based on their real life. The character development is shallow. Every piece of them got their own time to show up and be in battlefield, some with much development because they can survive and we know more about them, but some vanish. The major changes sometimes there, sometimes not. Their depressing grown-up by the game is done well. With no other option, they must follow the rules to survive that affects them psychologically.
The OP has upper beat than the ED by nano but nothing special. It doesn't seem apt with the anime. Why don't make it more deathly like the anime itself? It is sung by Manami Numakura "Sakebe (叫べ)" [Full version]. The ED is sung by nano, one of my favorite female singers ever with her "DREAMCATCHER". OMG last year she finally took off his mask /stahp/ People know her face already that she tried to hide before. This DREAMCATCHER doesn't have the thumping beat like her previous songs. The ED's title put in the word 'dream', kinda sad to remain Nemurin, the lovely character there. The sequence of ED scenes are more relatable to the anime than its OP [anime ver].
In the introduction phase, the purpose of this story is successfully hidden. I thought it was just another mahou shoujo, but yeah I did wonder why it felt so dark and not juicy like other mahou shoujo series. Far from typical moe mahou shoujo series. I interested to any kind of series which takes a side route lol I'm crestfallen because of witnessing my fav character here is died tragically. I give it 7.
Pros:
- Art, of course
- Enjoyment
- Lolis' death moments. I don't mind with the sad parts but.. sometimes I felt the death is unnecessary here or just too foolish to happen with such rationality. (FYI, I'm not fond of happy ending or sad ending, I'm neutral in which if the ending is corresponding with the story and characters personality who decide it, then it's good to go. Forcefully making it good or bad is a big no-no.)
- Poor character development ...and ending (why Snow White why ┐(´ー`)┌).
