The last witch trailer is a preview of an upcoming movie that has been captivating audiences and generating buzz online. The trailer provides a glimpse into the story and themes of the film, enticing viewers to watch the full movie when it is released. From the opening scene of the trailer, it is clear that The last witch is set in a dark and mysterious world. The visuals are stunning, with haunting landscapes and eerie forests, immediately establishing the atmospheric tone of the movie. The cinematography and use of lighting create a sense of unease and tension throughout the trailer. The story revolves around a young woman who discovers she has inherited magical powers.
Final Thoughts:
Maybe Remic thought it would be a nice jape to put in a really serious looking theme tune, but it kind of doesn t work when you use the same tune with every episode. I also have to give them credit for trying to blend the fan-service with the humour to make it relevant, even if that is the weak point of the comedy.

Renkin San-kyuu Magical? Pokaan: GA, meet Bottle Fairy
Renkin San-kyuu Magical? Pokaan is a magical girl comedy from 2006. It was brought to us by Remic. Never heard of them? Well, they don’t have many credits to their name so that’s not a surprise. Let’s hope it gives as favourable first impression.
We follow four princesses from the Netherworld. The witch, Uma, the vampire, Pachira, the werewolf, Liru & the android, Aiko. One of these things is not like the others, not like the others, not like the others. The four of them are living in the human world and all kinds of shenanigans ensue. That’s the basic crux of the comedy in the series, the bizarre outsiders getting into strange situations.
The biggest weakness in the comedy is simply that the series sometimes puts its desire for more fan service over its humour. Its “jokes” that revolve around under garments or nudity tend to be the weakest. Sometimes they get a funny one out there, but they’re mostly just too predictable and not in the Space Balls, I can quote this by heart because it was just so memorable, way. No, it’s in the “this joke was obvious and really heavily telegraphed” way.
With that aside, this series does have a lot of funny moments. It melds the zany absurdism of a series like Galaxy Angel with the supernatural outsiders trying to engage with humanity aspect of Bottle Fairy and the two do mesh well. The whole “drinking game” episode is really funny. So is the sentai team parody episode. Actually, those two both remind me of episodes from the aforementioned Galaxy Angel but with completely different execution. The tanuki bit is one that involves some more ecchi elements, but still manages to be a surprise and pretty funny to boot. There are plenty of other funny bits as well.
The series has one of those casts that only works in a comedy. The characters are zany, a bit shallow and, fortunately, have a good amount of comedic potential to their interactions. Remic could do a good four series more of this and not exhaust the possibilities. Even the minor characters who show up once or twice tend to have enough moments to be memorable. The invisible girl being the prime example. Which effectively makes them a strong cast for a comedic work. Although Aiko’s desire to become human is a bit odd. It’s like they were inspired by the best series of Star Trek but couldn’t be bothered to put in the more substantial characterisation that makes that motivation make sense.
All of you who are familiar with my reviews know exactly what my complaint is in regards to the art. Yes, it’s our old nemesis, excessive fan-service again. At least in a totally not serious series like this the only way it detracts is just based on the general crassness rather than being detrimental to the tone or impractical. I also have to give them credit for trying to blend the fan-service with the humour to make it relevant, even if that is the weak point of the comedy. I kind of like the character designs (they might’ve overdone the invisible girl’s make up though) and the artistic direction is generally really good.
For our main cast we have Nabatame Hitomi (also Aida Mana), Hirano Aya (also Haruhi), Saitou Momoko (also Solty) & Akesaka Satomi (also Korokoro) as our main characters. The four of them give really good performances and work well together. Then we have the music. This is one of those series where the theme tune doesn’t remotely fit. Maybe Remic thought it would be a nice jape to put in a really serious looking theme tune, but it kind of doesn’t work when you use the same tune with every episode. It would be another thing completely if they kept changing it to other tunes that ran completely opposite to the tone but they never do. The ending theme tune changes regularly, but the opening is just the same overly serious thing every time and it just comes across as inept.
There’s a little bit here and there, but the series is always quick to remind you that all of these girls are looking for handsome boyfriends. Because, you know, it’s a comedy about a group of girls and if you didn’t remind people they were straight they’d be shipping them all together. Although, let’s be fair, it could have very well just been that they had some good jokes about their romantic misadventures. This series does have quite a few of those. What are they supposed to do, have the same kinds of jokes about them pursuing other girls? That sounds like something I’d write. (New comedy, Tuesdays after the case files of Detective Hildegard. Except not really.)
Final Thoughts:
Magipoka, is a pretty solid comedy. Not the greatest one of all time, certainly, but it is quite good. If you enjoy zany absurdity, or the whole outsider trying to fit in types of comedy, give it a go. You’ll probably get some laughs out of it. My rating stands at a solid 7/10. Next week, So Ra No Wo To.
Although "quirks" is probably not the right term, it will have to do since there was not enough substance to call it "awesomeness". By simply slapping polar thematic opposites together and seeing what will happen according to formula, a remarkable depth of (asymmetric) individuality is revealed. While it is by no means sufficient (as I personally would like to know more about Aiko than was provided in the OVA), a very good balance of "who" to "doing what" was achieved, and might have become too tedious otherwise.
The last witch trailer is expertly edited to build suspense and anticipation. The music, sound effects, and dialogue all work together to create a sense of foreboding and danger. Quick cuts and fast-paced action sequences keep viewers on the edge of their seats, eager to see what happens next. In addition to the thrilling action, The last witch trailer also hints at deeper themes and emotional arcs. The main character's journey of self-discovery and empowerment is explored, as she learns to embrace her magical abilities and take control of her own destiny. The trailer hints at the potential for romance and betrayal, adding further layers to the story. Overall, The last witch trailer is a compelling preview of what promises to be an exciting and visually stunning movie. It successfully captures the attention of viewers and leaves them wanting more. Audiences are eagerly awaiting the release of the full film to see how the story unfolds and how the characters continue to evolve..

I recently watched the trailer for "The Last Witch" and I have to say, it failed to impress me. The overall concept seemed intriguing, but the execution fell flat. The acting seemed forced and lacked depth, making it difficult for me to connect with the characters. Additionally, the special effects looked amateurish and took away from the immersion of the story. Overall, I found the trailer to be underwhelming and it did not spark my interest enough to want to watch the full movie.
2. Jane Doe - 1 star
"The Last Witch" trailer left me feeling disappointed and uninterested. The plot appeared cliché and unoriginal, following the typical formula of a young woman discovering her hidden powers. The dialogue was cheesy and lacked substance, making it difficult for me to take the story seriously. Furthermore, the action sequences seemed poorly choreographed, with unrealistic movements and unconvincing fight scenes. Overall, I found the trailer to be uninspiring and I have no desire to see the movie based on what I saw.

I have to admit, I was not impressed with the trailer for "The Last Witch". The storyline seemed predictable and unoriginal, offering nothing new to the genre. The acting appeared wooden and lacked emotion, making it hard for me to invest in the characters. Additionally, the visual effects felt dated and did not enhance the overall cinematic experience. While some may find this movie entertaining, it failed to capture my interest and left me unenthusiastic about watching it.
