Well I’m having a cracker of a week and nothing cheers me up like hentai – except maybe for tentacle monsters and magical girls. And yes, I can have all three rolled into one neat little package with “Sexy Magical Girl Volume 1: Magical Girl Cometh!” If this is even marginally well drawn with a reasonably unholy plot (in the non biblical sense, though I’ll take the biblical one too) I’m going to be one extra happy camper this afternoon.

Well the animation isn’t great, despite some early use of computer generated backgrounds looks like some corners were skimped in the actual animation portion. Sex scenes are jerky and hair remains static even when the character is being tossed around in mid air. I do love the Magical Girl Ai’s character design, a darker look than fans of characters like Sailor Moon might be used to but it suites my tastes better.

Sadly the tentacle monster is a big disappointment, just an amorphous brown blob with the obligatory tentacles, which somehow manages to absorb the women it’s molested into its body – so that it can speak with their mouths. Interesting that later on Ai attempts to save the female victims but doesn’t hesitate to kill the male ones.

You have to wait a bit for the plot of Magical Girl to start building as they chose to have the big monster/magical girl battle start us off with little explanation. By the time you learn that there’s a rapist on the loose who also happens to rip out the guts of a few guys; we’ve already met all the main characters. The two girls who were swallowed up in the opening minutes turn out to be Akitoshi’s (the male lead) sister and school crush, while Ai is an entirely new student to the school. They all seem carefree and happy, like a rather close knit group – too bad the girls are all going to be eaten.

As for the sex, well you’ve got to imagine it with a very BDSM beat. As Akitoshi notes when he comes across his crush seemingly suspended from the ceiling, from a remove it all looks like your typical bondage scene, except the ropes have mouths and dicks and a mind of their own.

All in all, this one was way too short; I barely got a taste of the story and only a tinsy bit of sex. Left me wanting more, rather than fed up – so that’s a success. I can’t wait to find out more about the mysterious Ai and her powers and what Akitoshi has to do with her quest to rid the islands of Japan of these goopy possessing tentacle beasts.
