Any of you faggots read Magical Girl of the End? I just binged all of it and I want to rant about it for a bit and how the very fucking basis of this trash is flawed.
So the whole purpose of the plot is some fuckwad from 20 the future wants some mousey bitch and the MC to fuck so because he needs to alter time so the bitch has a kid in the future because she didn't before. He does this because she is a 8th generation magical girl and he needs to gather 13 magical girls of the 9th generation to complete some ritual to become a god. In order to get the girl and the mc to fuck he causes a zombie apocalypse to put them into a life or death situation so they'd fall in love with each other and have a kid. The MASSIVE fucking flaw with this being BY DESTROYING JAPAN IN THE PAST THIS SHOULD IRREPARABLY DESTROY THE FUTURE, and yet this shit is never brought up. Think about it, he has 12 children, and needs a 13th, wouldn't destroying Japan of the past likely lead to the death of their parents, causing said 9th generation to never exist in the first place? Hell lets take this a step further, 20 years in the future is just normal Japan where no such world ending event took place. By destroying the past it would be impossible for the events that cause the conspiracy to travel back in time to even happen in the first place. This isn't even a situation where you can say "the altered past is an alternate timeline that doesn't effect the current timeline's future" because later on in the manga a main character dies and you actually see his future self cease to exist.
>edgy magical girl series is trash Color me surprised
Jayden Mitchell
I think I read like 3 or 4 volumes years ago, half of whatever was translated at the time, dropped it and never turned back.
Justin Gray
I remember reading this series and the only thing I remember about it is that it's edgy and the translation never finished because even the translator got fed up with how bad it was.
The sequel was still pretty shit storywise, especially near the end, but overall more fun to read and watch.
Kayden Long
Actually while writing all of this I just noticed another massive hole on the very basis of the series.
The ritual to make Fuckwit McGee into a god requires 13 magical girls of the same generation. I believe no where in his plan does it state they need to be child of DIFFERENT parents each. Why make this whole convoluted plot to go to the past and make the only 8th generation magical girl that didn't have a kid to get preggers when you could just MAKE ONE OF THE OTHER 8TH GEN MAGICAL GIRLS THAT WERE ALREADY HAPPILY MARRIED 20 YEARS IN THE FUTURE JUST FUCK HER HUSBAND. The shitty villain ALREADY has the power to accelerate a person's time. Force one of the already existing 8th genners to fuck, and then accelerate her time so she instantly has the baby, and then just age THAT baby up. I mean fuck, THATS EXACTLY WHAT HE DOES WITH THE GIRL AND THE MC WHEN HE EVENTUALLY FORCED THEM TO FUCK.
Dominic Anderson
This one is more a nitpick, but at the halfway point a new mechanic is introduced thats lets the main characters fuse with the very same fake magical girls that were sent back to the past to fuck everything up in the first place. Only one of the fake magical girls that teams up with the main character ever gets to fuse with anyone else. Everyone gets their own magical girl and a device to fuse with them. They just literally never use it.
Also that all the death and destruction is toothless as fuck and has no real stakes. The manga fucking ends with everything getting fixed and no apocalypse happens. No one died besides the MC.
Bentley Jones
If you want a manga with a similar story but has actual lasting stakes go read Hakaijuu/Creature!. It's can be just as trashy but at least its logically consistent and doesn't rely on deus ex machine to magic away all the problems.
>edgy magical girl series is trash YuYuYu was really good and it's easily the best modern, non-PreCure take on the Mahou Shoujo genre since Nanoha.
Isaac Moore
Yea I read it and Site. The End should have stayed with the original cast. I have no idea why they changed the cast and almost made an entirely different story. Then the ending came around and I just lost track of what was going on. The sequel was alright. I liked it and the MC there more and the yuri stuff caught me off guard, but I felt good for her. I wish there were more fights, especially with the girl who was basically like Deku and destroyed her body every time she used her power. It's just a trashy series overall. Not something I'd recommend.
I wouldn't call YuYuYu particularly edgy. People like to it a Madoka ripoff but the series is really all about how sticking to the principles normal to a magical girl series everything will be alright in the end. Just gotta believe in the power of friendship and everything will be alright mostly.
Jordan Moore
>People like to it a Madoka ripoff *People like to call it a Madoka ripoff.
Adding on to that thought. You can really only call it a Madoka ripoff if the only Magical Girl series you've seen is Madoka. Same way people who've only seen Eva or TTGL compare all mecha to it.
Yea kinda. It ends back at square one with everyone happy. I'll give it that the final fight was pretty cool, and the way the final boss is defeated is interesting. But it ends flatly.
Aaron Sullivan
Figured
Are there any connections to Magical Girl of the End?
Nicholas Barnes
>the series is really all about how sticking to the principles normal to a magical girl series everything will be alright in the end Well, that's not really it. YuYuYu is a story about duty and sacrifice. The Shinju is an allegory for nationalism. This is spelled out for you using Tougou's character. She's absurdly patriotic, gleefully sings a version of the Battou-tai's song at karaoke, her idea of committing suicide is to cut her stomach. She's the picturebook version of a Yamato Nadeshiko. Contrasted with her are the somewhat-dumb-but-well-meaning Karin and Yuuki Yuuna herself who genuinely just wants the best for everyone. All three are forced to come to terms with the fact that the Shinju, fervent nationalism isn't making things better and it leads to both Tougou and Yuuki Yuuna breaking things. It's a fairly Japanese story and easy to miss if you don't keep in mind how cultlike Japanese nationalism was during WW2.
I don't get the comparison myself. There are consequences to being a magical girl in both. Madoka and Yuuki Yuuna are both pink and very kind people. But that's where it ends.
Joshua Taylor
I find it bullshit that MC and childhood friend were pretty much forced to fuck because literally everyone else ceased to exist. Best girl was robbed HARD.
Christian Reed
>YuYuYu is a story about duty and sacrifice. You're over thinking it. You're falling for the trap the series sets in its themes. Thats what it looks like on the surface but I'd say the whole point of the story lays right there in the 5 tenants of the Hero Club. Personally I think the whole point is its mainly about not giving up and believing in your friends, something thats very mahou shoujo. The series looks like its going to be very grim and all about self sacrifice but then you have that flipped on you when Yuna sticks to her convictions and everything and overturns the sacrifice.
They've confirmed another sequel and im scared. The girls have suffered enough.
Jayden Ward
Yeah, it got pretty dumb once the main plot got revealed and they started time traveling. Still had some cool moments though. Perv Cop was beyond based.
>wish there were more fights, especially with the girl who was basically like Deku and destroyed her body every time she used her power. That is eveyone
Carson Gray
A major plot point of the second season is that the Shinju is going to collapse, because it can no longer persevere against the onslaught from outside. Yuuki Yuuna has to sacrifice herself yo the Shinju to revitalize it, killing everyone in the process. This is more WW2 imagery.
But how can you fix this, how can you fix a nation desperate for war and annihilation? There is no easy way, as shown by Tougou, violence isn't the option. It is as you say, follow the tennets of the Hero Club. Try to be a good person and if you do it enough someone who also does it will end up in a position capable of changing things.
