Then she goes home and gets thrashed around by her brother. She goes to school and gets thrashed around by some bullies. This is the best thing that happens to her on this day. As she sits on the ground in her despair, office men on their way to work mutter to themselves how it’s too early in the day to deal with this kind of bullshit, that they were slightly inconvenienced by her attempted suicide. It wasn’t even trying to take itself seriously half the time, and I can explain this just by looking at the first episode.Īsagiri, the main character, thinks about throwing herself in front of an oncoming train, but hesitates at the last minute. At no point did I ever get the impression that Mahou Site was supposed to be taken seriously. It’s not real, so I don’t need to take it seriously. There are girls in this anime, and they get hurt a lot. Sometimes, I like to keep it nice and simple. I don’t need my damn cartoons to enforce that. Or maybe it’s because I don’t always need a compelling narrative to pick my brain. Maybe I’m just some sick fuck looking to get off. Wow, it’s almost like that was the fucking point or something. “Mahou Site is sooooo edgy!!! It’s just a bunch of shock value!!!” In fact, I present the opposite: you should keep an open mind and keep your brain turned on to understand why a creator would make such a thing in such a way. You may be thinking that this is a matter of “turning your brain off” to enjoy something-ignoring the flaws to indulge in the positives.

This anime has knives so therefore it is edgy ha ha ha never saw that joke coming did you. That’s where Mahou Shoujo Site comes in.Ī more accurate term to describe this anime would be “campy”, but fucking nobody uses that term so I’m I think there’s a level of edge that gets enjoyable, because it passes so many levels of believability that I don’t believe it was meant to be taken seriously in the first place. Personally, I don’t use the word as a criticism, because I often enjoy edge a lot.

The term “edgy” gets thrown around as some sort of criticism by people who like to sound smart and mature, because they engage with a medium for people half their age.
