Unveiling the Mythical Origins of Witch Pynie Chan's Magical Veggie Abilities

Once upon a time, in a magical land, there lived a witch named Pynie. Pynie was not your ordinary witch - she had a special power that allowed her to bring vegetables to life. These vegetables would dance and sing, providing joy and entertainment to everyone in the village. Pynie's magical abilities came from a mystical watch that she had inherited from her grandmother. This watch had been passed down through many generations, and it was said to hold ancient and powerful magic. With the watch, Pynie could cast spells and perform incredible feats.

With the watch, Pynie could cast spells and perform incredible feats. The watch was in the shape of a pumpkin, with intricate engravings on its surface. Pynie always wore it around her neck, close to her heart.

“Dai Mahou Touge” aka “Magical Witch Punie-chan”, is an anime show made by and for super anime nerds, yet even if you aren’t an anime nerd, you’ll still enjoy it. My boyfriend likes this show so much that he even did a review on this show before.
His favorite character in this show is Paya-tan. Looks like a cute mascot in any magical girl anime shows, but so NOT.
I’ve always wanted to make a Paya-tan bento, but I couldn’t think of any good way to make it because Paya-tan was the only non-human character in Dai Mahou Touge.

I think I’ve mentioned this before but, there are so many characters I want to make bento of including Paya-tan. Coming up with a character I want to make isn’t that hard, but finding something to go with the main character is. Then I remembered my favorite episode, about curry at a food stand at a school festival. This particular episode was about a school festival, like any other anime. But instead of showing the drama or trouble between students, the majority of the episode was focused on curry at a particular food stand. The curry at the stand was so popular that Punie-chan’s rival and her gang went to find out what the secret was. There they witnessed a horrifying ceremony held by the vegetables for the curry.

Bento #38: Paya-tan from DaiMahouTouge
Created and eaten on: 2/11/2009

In this ceremony, a potato takes a peeler and starts to peel his skin off by himself. It was as if he was committing harakiri. (part of the samurai honor code, it is to die with honor) After he peels himself, he jumps into a pot. All the vegetables had a face and they were talking and all very serious. It was just sooo dramatic that it was hilarious.

I decided that I want to make the curry scene with Paya-tan the night before and asked my boyfriend to cook curry that night. 😛 He didn’t know what I was making for a bento, but I just told him that I wanted to eat curry. (What can I say. His curry is darn good!)

The following morning, I put lettuce down in a bento box and put curry on right side of the bento on top of the lettuce (so it wouldn’t dye the bento box). Then I mixed rice with curry powder and ketchup (see “how to dye rice naturally”), I put a plastic wrap on my drawing, and put the rice over it. Then I shaped Paya-tan’s head and torso using a plastic wrap. After I finished shaping the body and head, I put it on the left side of the bento box. Since the other pieces on Paya-tan involved seaweed, I decided to make the mini-vegetables before putting seaweed on Paya-tan.

I cut potato and baby carrot, broccoli for the mini-vegetables first. Then I cut the pink part and white part of kamaboko (fish cake) and seaweed for their eyes, eyebrows and mouth.

The potato in the center lives by the code of the samurai.

Finally, I cut seaweed for Paya-tan’s eyes and ears, put it on cheese and cut around it. Then I cut seaweed for “Pa” in Japanese and put it on his stomach. I cut cheese for his horn, and I was going to finish it here. But Paya-tan didn’t look like him at all… so I made a knife with konnyaku (yam cake) and kamaboko (fish cake) for the blade and cheese for the handle.

Even though this anime show isn’t mainstream most of our friends have seen it and appreciated the details on the veggies. 😀 I still didn’t think that Paya-tan looked anything like the real Paya-tan at all… I think his head was too big, and his body was too stocky. Some seaweed pieces (Paya-tan’s eye brows and “Pa” letter) shrunk because of the moisture on the rice. I’ve made a plush of Paya-tan for my boyfriend before, and I think it looked so much better than my bento. 😛

PAYA!! (Paya-tan plush I made for my boyfriend. This is the "cute Paya-tan", and the other side is the "serious Paya-tan")

Whenever she needed to use its magic, she would gently touch the watch and invoke a spell. One day, a neighboring village was going through a severe drought. Their crops were withering, and the villagers were desperate for a solution. Pynie decided to use her magical watch to help them. She gathered all the vegetables she could find and placed them in a circle. Then, she began chanting a powerful incantation. As she did, the watch started to glow, and a beam of light shot out from its center. The vegetables suddenly came to life, their leaves and stems wiggling and shaking with excitement. The vegetables danced and twirled, creating a magical spectacle for the entire village. The villagers watched in awe and wonder as Pynie's magic brought joy and hope to their lives. And miraculously, as the vegetables danced, rain began to fall, bringing relief to the drought-stricken land. Pynie's watch became a symbol of hope and prosperity in the village. The villagers would gather around her, their hearts filled with gratitude and admiration. They would bring their own vegetables, hoping for Pynie's magic to bring them to life. As time went on, Pynie's fame spread far and wide. People from distant lands would come to witness her incredible power and witness the dancing vegetables. Pynie became known as the Vegetable Witch, and her watch was a legendary artifact. But Pynie never let the fame get to her head. She remained humble and kind, always using her magic for the good of others. She continued to bring vegetables to life, spreading joy and happiness wherever she went. And so, the story of the magical watch and the vegetable witch was passed on through the generations. Even today, people talk of Pynie and her incredible powers. The watch remains a symbol of hope and the belief that magic can bring beauty and wonder into our lives..

Reviews for "Experiencing the Fascination of Witch Pynie Chan's Vegetable-Witchcraft Fusion"

- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to watch "Magical Witch Pynie Chan Vegetables" because I'm a fan of magical girl anime. However, I was extremely disappointed with this series. The animation quality was really poor and the storyline felt disjointed and rushed. The main character, Pynie Chan, was not likable at all and her magical powers were never explained or developed properly. Overall, it was a waste of my time and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

- John - 1 star - "Magical Witch Pynie Chan Vegetables" was one of the worst anime series I have ever watched. The title is misleading, as there is hardly any focus on vegetables. The characters were one-dimensional and the plot made no sense. The humor felt forced and fell flat every time. I barely made it through the first episode before giving up. Save your time and find something else to watch.

- Emma - 2 stars - I found "Magical Witch Pynie Chan Vegetables" to be incredibly boring and lacking in originality. The art style was generic, which made it blend in with so many other forgettable anime series out there. The episodes were repetitive and lacked any real character development. The magical elements were uninspiring and felt like they were added as an afterthought. Overall, this series failed to capture my interest and I would not recommend it to anyone.
