MagiPoka ep. 4









I don't know why I like this show so much.. I guess there's just some sort of inexplicable appeal about a witch, a vampire, a werewolf and an android living in a tree.

Either way, I've been looking forward to watching it before the season started, and have been surprisingly pleased with how it's turned out so far. It's really been getting ncreasingly better (or tolerable... whichever, I don't know).

This episode is no exception. Or should I say episodes, seeing as each installment of this show usually includes 2 relatively unrelated 12 minute eps, or "spells". In the first one, we continue the process of getting to know the 4 main heroines a little better with an ep for Aiko. ....which seems kind of backwards now that I think about it, seeing as she was out of commission for the majority of it. It's been raining quite a bit, you see, and poor Aiko catches a cold (read: her circuitry becomes filled with mold). She leaves herself entirely in Pachira and Uma's care (sort of accidentally, actually), and the two girls spend the day playing doctor (...or is it mechanic..) all while Liru plays outside in the rain, supplying the ep with adequate amounts of cute fanservice.
The two are eventually successful, but... well, let's just say Aiko's got a few screws loose.

After a trip to a restaurant, a few more scenes of Uma being incredibly cute, and a joke about testicles thrown in for good measure, the girls find about about Tanabata, and get right to writing down wishes they want to come true. Though they all actually end up writing too many (thanks to Uma, of course), and much hilarity ensues.
It's all the regular fun and games, until, that is, we find out that Aiko wishes for a human body.. (TT^TT) *sniff*
Don't worry, Pinocchio, you'll get one one day.


Y'know, after I started watching this show, I also got interested in the manga. It's cute and follows a different story (one that plays more heavily to lolicon, maybe), which makes both the anime and the manga quite enjoyable to follow.
Though speaking of stories, looks like the second half of this episode continued right on with the theme from the second half of the last. ..Which makes it very unlikely that things will ever be getting as yurirific as the opening insinuates (not like I expected it to). Fucking trap.

Anyway, next ep is the obligatory beach ep! Can't fucking wait.
