English is not my language. Mahou no Idol Pastel Yumi, one of the pioneers of Mahou Shoujo in the 80s. Well, the anime is a lot of fun. The story is about a girl who loves flowers, and one day two little animals appear to her, Kakimaru and Keshimaru. The anime follows an episodic pattern, focused more on comedy. It's fun to watch. Every episode has a plot, in which Yumi usually uses her magical powers to help herself or someone else.It can be quite repetitive, but it's worth it because it's funny. The comedy is really good. Early on, Yumi is late for school, and she decides to wear a costume made with magic to go to class, but the magic has a time limit (not set, which generates script conveniences), and the costume disappears and she leaves. running only in her panties on the street (looks more like a diaper haha). Another example is your grandfather "fighting" a gorilla who escapes from the zoo. Characters usually have a small plot in the story. Most are pretty cool, even if it's nothing grand. My biggest problem with this anime is magic. As it does not have a time limit, it is conveniently used. For example: sometimes the spell ends too quickly, and sometimes it takes a long time. Another thing I didn't like was some episodes that used flashback to recap. It was boring to see the same thing with another character telling what I've already seen. As it's kind of a recap, it lasted a long time in the episode. The ending wasn't so good either. It's very convenient and also has inconsistencies in what was going on. Anyway, it has its positive points and its negative points like every anime. But as a whole it is good anime episode by Mahou Shoujo.
