What is Magical Girl Site?#
If you are looking for a cute, sparkling adventure, you might want to look elsewhere. Magical Girl Site (also known as Mahō Shōjo Site) is a dark descent into horror and action. The story follows Aya Asagiri, a young girl suffering from severe bullying at school. In her desperation for an escape, she discovers a mysterious website called the “Magical Girl Site.”
By simply visiting the page, Aya is thrust into the “Magical Girl Apocalypse,” a brutal world where “savagely adorable” magical girls act as killing machines. In this setting, survival depends on one’s ability to fight, as the girls are driven by an unquenchable thirst for blood and chaos. If you’re interested in picking up some Magical Girl Site merchandise to commemorate this dark journey, now is the time!
Is the anime really finished?#
When asking “is the anime finished?”, it is important to look at the source material. Magical Girl Site is an adaptation of a manga that ran from July 11, 2013, to October 5, 2017. The anime adaptation followed later, premiering on April 6, 2018.
Because the original manga was completed before the anime was even released, the story has a definitive end. However, anime adaptations often condense or alter the conclusion of their source material. To ensure you get the full, satisfying conclusion to Aya’s story, we highly recommend buying the manga to supplement your viewing experience.
