User blog:Shadowneko/Mahou Tsukai Pretty Cure!(episode 1 impressions)

Let's distract myself from being depressed and hunting a job to do a short probably full of spoilers review/impressions of episode 1. First off we have Riko who is already a witch but not a very good one. When we see her she can barely fly and even falls out of the sky into a tree. We also have Asahina Mirai who seems to have been told stories about magic users her whole life by her grandmother. It makes Mirai an enthusiast who so far seems to be fascinated by magic and with Riko. Then we have mascot #1(Mofurun) who is basically just Mirai's teddy bear which is a change from Pretty Cure's usual "it's a magical fairy creature" and only becomes like one when they first transform and the bear gets infused with magic which is an interesting twist. Also about the transformation: It only seems to happen when the girls are together. Makes me think of a callback to Futari wa Pretty Cure where the girls couldn't transform separately but since this is just the first episode I don't know if I'm right. Then we have the dark magic using bat-eared villain who is kinda menacing in his own way. Overall I kinda like the setup that seems to continue into episode 2 where the preview shows the Magical kingdom...
