Anime / Magical Emi, the Magic Star
Magical Emi, the Magic Star is the third Magical Girl series created by Studio Pierrot, airing from 1985 to 1986.
Mai Kazuki is an aspiring magician, but her skills aren't good enough to get her into her grandparents' Magic Carat troupe. Then one day, she is visited by a mirror fairy named Topo, who gives her a magic bracelet that can transform Mai into an 18-year-old version of herself. As Magical Emi, Mai uses her magic to help people and participate in her grandparents' shows.
The wand also includes a button that, when pressed, activates sound effects and lights up with different colors, adding an extra layer of magical realism to playtime. The wand's functionality is what truly sets it apart. When pressed, the button activates phrases from the show spoken by Akko and other beloved characters.
Tropes:
- Always Someone Better: A mild case, but Mai's little brother Misaki is much more gifted at magic than she is.
- Bittersweet Ending: In the end, Mai decides to give up her magic so that she can learn to become a great Stage Magician the hard way.
- Brought Down to Normal: Mai gives up her Magical Girl powers in the end.
- By the Power of Grayskull!: "Pulitto! Pararin Ririkaru Parapora Magikaru!"
- Circus Brat: Mai grew up in the Magic Carat Magic Show.
- Family Versus Career: Mai's mother, Yuko, left her career as a talented magician in order to get married and start a family.
- Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Topo spends most of the series in the form of a stuffed animal.
- Loves My Alter Ego: Downplayed. Sho has some interest in Emi, but, in general, he is more interested in the boxe (he is an aspiring boxer).
- Magic Idol Singer: Although Emi is a Stage Magician rather than an Idol Singer, her story still follows the Magic Idol Singer template. She even dabbles in Idol Singer territory by combining her magic shows with musical accompaniment.
- Magicians Are Wizards: The whole plot revolves around this. Mai's whole family are Stage Magicians and she wants to become one too, but she's not talented enough, so she turns to realmagic in order to succeed with her stage magic.
- Non-Human Sidekick: Topo is doubly so, since he's a mirror fairy inhabiting the body of a purple flying squirrel plushie.
- Older Alter Ego: Mai is a young girl while as Emi she is an 18-year-old girl.
- Naked First Impression: Or rather, panty shot first impression. When Sho and Mai first meet, he points out that her strawberry-print undies are showing. She responds by kicking him in the shins.
- Precocious Crush: Mai has a crush on 17-year-old Sho Yuki.
- To Be a Master: Mai's dream is to become a great magician.
- Transformation Sequence: Mai has one with lots of bubbles and wand-waving, where again the actual transforming part is quite brief.
- Victory Is Boring: More like Phlebotinum-Aided Victory Is Boring — When Mai wins a magic contest as Magical Emi, the victory feels empty and unfulfilling because she only won thanks to her Magical Girl powers, which feels like a cheat. This leads to her decision to relinquish her powers.
- Whole-Plot Reference: Episode 16 is one to Duel, with the twist being the driver of the truck menacing the main characters being a big fan of Emi's and wanting her autograph.
- Wizarding School: Mai's grandparents run a small school for young magicians.

Reviews for "Mini Witch Academia Wands: More Than Just a Toy"
1. Robert - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Mini Witch Academia Wand. The wand itself is flimsy and poorly made. The magical effects are underwhelming and not at all impressive. The battery life is also incredibly short, which is frustrating considering the price of the wand. Overall, I would not recommend this product to any true fan of the series.
2. Sarah - 1/5 - This Mini Witch Academia Wand is a complete waste of money. The construction is cheap and it broke within a week of use. The so-called magical effects are nothing more than a few lights that flash and a weak sound effect. The wand also feels uncomfortable to hold, and it lacks the intricate details and craftsmanship that I was expecting. Save your money and pass on this product.
3. Jason - 2/5 - I was excited to receive the Mini Witch Academia Wand, but it left a lot to be desired. The wand is smaller than I anticipated, and it feels like a toy rather than a collectible item. The sound effects are low quality, and the magical effects are not as vibrant as they appeared in the promotional images. Additionally, the battery compartment is difficult to access, which makes changing batteries a hassle. Overall, I was disappointed with my purchase and would not recommend it to others.
4. Emma - 2/5 - I bought the Mini Witch Academia Wand as a gift for my niece, and she was not impressed. The wand is flimsy and feels like it will break easily. The magical effects are lackluster and not very captivating. The sound effects are also quite loud and annoying. It's a shame because my niece was really excited to receive this wand, but it ended up being a letdown. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for a quality magic wand.
