This lingered on my drives for months. I came in expecting, maybe, stupid jokes around a genderbending main character or something.
Not a single one was found. In fact, what I eventually found was very far from what I expected:
+ An irreverent, absurdist, but very earnest parody of magical girl genre, which is an actual magical girl show itself even while remaining a parody. These people do understand what makes magical girl shows tick. That's why they can laugh at it.
+ Random tangents about animation industry (episode 5, oh god) with occasional use of those tangents as plot relevant mechanics (episode 11, oh god).
+ A much more serious ending than being a parody would warrant.
+ A substantial amount of food for thought on magical girls in general.
This show is a lot cleverer than I expected, and probably, too clever for its own good, seeing how low the rating is.
Verdict: Underappreciated, though probably not for the general audience in the first place.

But the idol work doesn't go well, and just as she leaves for her home, she runs into a scary yakuza guy and finds out her mother was an ex-magical girl, and that the "yakuza" was her animal mascot. Not soon after learning this, her love interest gets kidnapped by demons that look like burly men with cute squirrel heads.

main character
female, adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., brown hairThe character has brown hair., miniskirtA miniskirt, sometimes hyphenated as mini-skirt, is a skirt with a hemline well above the knees, shorter than the wearer`s arm., pantyhosePantyhose are sheer, close-fitting legwear, covering the body from the waist to the feet., purple eyesThis character`s eyes are colored somewhere between red and blue., ribbon tieA ribbon tie is a ribbon used to tie the collar of a shirt, blouse, or other clothing top. This means that the ribbon, with or without a bow loop, is tying a collar that is cut close to the neck (i.e. not a low-cut collar); otherwise, the ribbon is just a common case of ribbons on clothes. Please see the full description for more detailed instructions on when to apply or not apply this tag., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., shoulder-length hairShoulder-length hair is hair at shoulder length, within a few centimetres margin. This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair.
