Part of the reason I want to see a straight-up college setting magical girl show is that I legitimately think a lot of the standard storylines would work better that way, but another part of it is that I just want to witness the drama of trying to balance magical girl antics with a full courseload. All staggering into Calculus 200 looking like hell because they were fighting zombie squid all night. Striking up a friendship with another girl based on a mutual misunderstanding where they think sheâs a fellow magical girl, but she thinks theyâre just really into the party scene, which eventually arouses her suspicions because theyâre rolling up every morning totally wrecked from the night before, but she never sees them at any of the same parties.
âOn the prowl again last night?â
âIs it that obvious? It was a hell of a time.â
âI feel you, sis. Here, I have something thatâll fix you right upâŚ. I must have just missed you, where did you end up? Not on campus for sure.â
âWhat? No, thereâs never anything going on here. The railway yard is the current hotspot.â
âOh damn, yeah that makes a lot more sense, I saw the lights from downtown.â
âYou did? Iâll have to tone it down next time I guess.â
âDonât even! Give it your all, girl, you inspire me to push myself just as hard.â
and then they decide to go out together some night, but before they can commit to either clubbing (wherein magical girl is hella surprised) or monsterfighting (in which party girl is hella surprised), some zombie squid attack and magical girl does the transformation thing and party girl doesnât even notice because sheâs beating zombie squid away with a sidewalk sandwich-board sign, and once the zombie squid are taken care of theyâre eyeing each other in utter shock because 1) party girl can fight pretty good without transforming (âmy sister was really into karate and I had to keep upâ) and 2) magical girl looks AMAZEBALLS in her sudden magical superhero outfit (âWHAT THE FUCK SHOW ME HOWâ) and, yeah, they end up partners-in-crime and also girlfriends
