Anime / Magic User's Club
Magic User's Club (Mahou Tsukai Tai!) is an anime created and directed by Junichi Sato. It tells the story of a plucky group of teenage Magical Students, and their quest to liberate the world from extra-terrestrial invaders. It was originally released as an OVA series produced by Triangle Staff in 1996, and was followed in the late 90s by a TV series that picked up the story where the OVA left off. It has since received both Manga and Light Novel adaptations. The anime series was licensed in North America by Media Blasters (via their Anime Works imprint), but is now licensed by Nozomi Entertainment.
One year ago, an alien spaceship known as "The Bell" invaded the earth, spreading a message to the humans of the world that it was here to take over. Though the planet's military forces fought desperately against the The Bell, they proved to be no match for the invaders' highly superior technology. All resistance was quickly wiped out, though the aliens seemed to be taking special care not to harm the human soldiers, and The Bell never made the first strike. Quickly realizing that the aliens would not attack without provocation, humanity quietly accepted defeat and sought to return to as normal a routine as possible.
Now, the people of earth have grown used to the The Bell, which has caused no further disruptions save for sending out probes to politely observe their day-to-day lives. Unwilling to accept the status quo, Takeo Takakura, the president of Kitanohashi High school's Magic Club, has declared that it is the duty of the club to single-handedly defeat the invaders and secure the freedom of all humans. Unfortunately, the Magic User's Club has only five members and of those, only he and his vice-president know how to use magic effectively! On top of that, the club president finds it to be a daily struggle to keep his perverted nature at bay long enough to focus on the task at hand.
But all hope is not lost, for Takeo finds an eager and energetic (though not quite able) student in new club member Sae Sawanoguchi. Seeking to overcome her clumsiness and low sense of self-worth, Sae declares that she will follow in the footsteps of Takeo, and become a powerful magic-user. Will Takeo, Sae, and the rest of the club learn to control their power and become the hope of humankind? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: wherever the Magic Users Club goes, hilarity is bound to follow!
The TV series continues the story. The main plotline is about Sae and a mysterious androgynous waif.
There are also two different manga. One is a shounen manga and maintains the same light feel in the OVA. The other is shoujo, and is much darker and has several different characters as well.
The mascot, lying motionless on the ground, symbolized the defeated spirit of the school community in that moment. Emergency medical personnel quickly attended to the mascot, evaluating the injuries that were sustained during the assault. It was evident that the mascot had suffered severe bruising and potentially a broken limb. The community's beloved symbol of pride now lay in a hospital, waiting for recovery while the aftermath of the incident unfolded. News of the attack quickly spread throughout the school and wider community. An outpouring of support and sympathy flooded in, with messages of solidarity and condemnation for this heinous act. Students and faculty rallied together, vowing to find and bring the attacker to justice. Investigations are currently ongoing, as law enforcement works tirelessly to identify the assailant. The hope is that this incident will serve as a wake-up call to both the school community and society at large, highlighting the importance of respect, unity, and the rejection of violence. This attack on the mascot is a stark reminder that we must cherish and protect the symbols that bring us joy and camaraderie. The mascot, although just a costume with a person inside, represents the heart and spirit of a school. By targeting the mascot, the attacker intended to strike at the very core of our unity and pride. Together, as a community, we must stand strong in the wake of this attack, supporting the injured mascot and reaffirming our commitment to a safe and inclusive environment. We will rise above this act of violence, showing the world that we will not be deterred in our pursuit of camaraderie, sportsmanship, and the celebration of our shared identity..
Reviews for "Mascot Wars: When Rivalry Turns Dangerous"
1. Emily - 2 stars - I didn't enjoy "Mascot is attacked" because I found the plot to be quite predictable and lacking originality. The characters were also quite one-dimensional and I couldn't connect with them at all. Additionally, I found the writing style to be quite dry and it didn't engage me as a reader. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. David - 1 star - "Mascot is attacked" was a complete letdown for me. The storyline seemed promising, but it quickly became incredibly repetitive and monotonous. The pacing was extremely slow, and I found myself losing interest halfway through the book. The lack of character development also made it hard for me to care about what happened to the mascot or any of the other characters. I couldn't wait for this book to end and would advise others to stay away from it.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I wanted to like "Mascot is attacked" but unfortunately, it just fell flat for me. The plot felt disjointed and the pacing was all over the place. There were unnecessary subplots that didn't add anything to the overall story and only served to make the book longer. The dialogue between characters was also quite stilted and unnatural, making it hard to buy into their interactions. Overall, I didn't find this book to be a compelling read and I wouldn't recommend it.
