[Maebashi Witches] It’s interesting, but is this really a local anime?


1: Japan Otaku Reviews

But the Maebashi Witches…

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

The famous spots are shown in the OP!!

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

Before discussing whether to support Maebashi or not, they don’t even come outside the store…!

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

Shutter Street (Maebashi Element)

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

A story with quite strong quirks, local elements, and idol elements has collided to create something unique.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is no particular feeling of Maebashi.

If I had to say, it would be the deserted appearance of the shopping district and the part in the opening where local buildings are shown.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

From now on!

It’s just the beginning!

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s fine to break through like this, even if everyone has some terrible hidden side.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it were Funabashi, I could have rolled it.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

If Choco-chan had a dark side, I would cry.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like that silly pink.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Choco-chan, who casually spits poison, feels like she’s getting smarter when she’s with Pink.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Az has become easier to understand, like a Chihuahua with a barking habit, transforming self-loathing and weakness into aggression and snapping at everything around.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

What happened to the overly beautiful Choco-chan in the ED?

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

Choco-chan is so toxic that she can’t hide it even with her character…

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

Maebashi invested taxes for PR.

Sunrise wants to create a sparkling idol-themed project.

A screenwriter who wants to write an aggressive story, “Tiger with Wings.”

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

This anime where the idol elements and the story don’t clash too much.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

If there are a lot of people in Maebashi, that would be strange.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

By the way, the latest episode didn’t feel particularly like Maebashi.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s terrible that there’s a messy daily meal among my colleagues.

Even though it proudly carries the name of the place…

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m already bracing myself for the huge landmine buried in Choco-chan.

Even fat people and those who are over the top can look cute.

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

So you were only shown the OP, Maebashi City.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

No matter what kind of insults the thread image throws from now on (but this guy is fat, after all…), I can just ignore it.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m sorry I couldn’t introduce Maebashi, but this is Choco-chan.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

How do you live without using social media?!

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Because Az doesn’t want to go outside…

This is the shuttered shopping street that represents Maebashi…

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

The current governor said that he wants “Nana and Hana” to become a representative anime of Gunma, and he is also satisfied with this.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

A magical girl who sings and dances will solve your problems!

Did you imagine it as Ojamajo?

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s fun, but I’m looking forward to what kind of monster will appear next.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

It is a dark little witch.

Is fairy Ranmaru closer?

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It was an anime that didn’t have much specificity, like vegetables or flowers.

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Isn’t that shitty frog just too much shit?

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

The protagonist is properly being a protagonist and is actively going outside, but…

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

The sharpness of the insults and biting remarks is more than what is found in real-life subjects.

The green, which clearly has no toxic elements, is also intense in being conscious-oriented.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was imagining a magical girl version of Rokudou, but it turned out to be different from what I expected…

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, when I watch other local anime, they tend to have destroyed shopping districts, constant murder cases, or have transformed into completely different worlds with no trace of the original.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

I mean, there’s nothing in Maebashi.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

A main character with deep darkness and a strong guest character.

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It may not be promoting Maebashi, but the story is interesting, so I’m looking forward to it.

Since it’s only two episodes, it can be a bit tough to watch if you’re expecting a full season.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t know how to handle frogs.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I really think frogs are just overly confident and bad at explaining things.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the end, the revitalization of the town through anime ultimately comes down to the local people’s strength, said a person from Oarai.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

Other than that, the works featuring Gunma, such as “Oriani,” have strong quirks like “A Place Further Than the Universe” and “Binan Koukou Chikyuu Boueigun.”

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

All that remains in my impression of Gifu is how bad the public safety is…

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is a daily life in slice-of-life anime.

63: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

Yorimoi is too strong in Antarctica.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

You can really feel the exceptional sense in the dialogue exchange.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

After the broadcast, there are usually anonymous accounts following from Gunma Prefecture.

There is no anonymous person who can follow in Maebashi.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rather, I ended up thinking that it was Gunma rather than the current response.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not a criticism of influencers, but rather that Az is just looking down on vain people of their own kind, and it made me laugh when someone said, “There are hardly any people like that these days.”

Maybe you’re doing it, Yuya.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Why, it was properly depicted as Tatebayashi, right?”

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Kawasaki had a few annoying people, but they were better than in real life…

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are you willing to sell your character?

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s acceptable if the setting of the anime is interesting to the extent that it’s just loosely tied to the local elements.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

Living without social media, what kind of darkness does the green have…

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

To be honest, right now I like chubby people the most.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it would have been better if that shuttered street had a completely different title, making it clear that it’s Maebashi when you look closely!

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

This season, there are many governance-themed anime.

The title has a place name, but this might be the least appealing to the local area.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

Supporting Hokkaido with YanJan

Specifically, Bus E and Golden Kamuy.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

Pink didn’t treat the fat person as a celebrity…

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

How are you living!? I laughed at that, though.

On the contrary, I feel that those actions stem from a value system that is not influenced by others.

87: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Azuma was actually the type to be more considerate once he cooled down, after all.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gifu anime doesn’t have much support from the local government, you know.

I thought so, but Shingure was indeed closely attached to Kasamatsu town.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

Considering the terrible cost-performance issue of their magic, Azua is doing quite well with only her own abilities.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yellow and pink look deep and scary.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is this okay for the citizens of Maebashi…?

94: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The light’s fat person has an understanding girlfriend.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s make an effort to convey a little more positive charm.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s better to be talked about than to be too familiar…

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yama no Susume was also promoting Gunma.

Honoka-chan seems to be a citizen of Takasaki.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it better than actually disappointing someone by telling a lie?

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t Kawasaki crazy like it was during the peak of the sex industry 20 years ago?

That area has long been regulated and has rapidly become depopulated.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews
108: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though we collaborated with a sense of regional promotion, is it okay to endlessly mock it with local anime themes!?

It might be an era where we should consider the risks of overflowing with that kind of thing.

109: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The previous Okinawa anime was ideal as a local anime.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

A first-year high school student living in Maebashi City, “Akagi Yuina,” meets a mysterious frog “Keroppe,” and her everyday life changes drastically!

The growth of a girl aspiring to be a witch and the rich townscape of Maebashi City are depicted.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

OVA Jashin-chan, promote the region in an exaggerated way!

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

At least they should promote it more in the OPED.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

The only one that can appeal is the beckoning cat.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s strange that the frog, which was supposed to be the target of hate, is in a better position.

118: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Do we really need singing elements? That’s what I can’t help but think.

121: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Yuinachorin is delicious whether it’s the regular one or the super-sized one, even if there’s no poison at all.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I had to say, Yuina Chorin is related to photography, right?

It’s emphasized that the empty ones are highlighted, so I wouldn’t be surprised even without any darkness.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

The commercial for the singing cat is always playing when I go to karaoke, but I rarely see it on TV…

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

I would hate for Midori, who is the first to step in and smooth things over, to be a colossal piece of garbage…

128: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

A good song solves everything, so it’s necessary.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

I liked Yuina-chan for a long time, but I like her even more now that she suddenly entered Samurai mode.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought there weren’t many tourist spots in Maebashi city, so I looked it up.

This is even less than I imagined.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s just a bad mouth, I can handle it, but I laughed when the serious one was acting as a thief.

It’s definitely the most troublesome.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even Symphogear fights while singing…

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

Can a miracle be born from Maebashi?

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s hard to remember, but once you do, you can never forget it, so I’m grateful for the nickname Choco-chan.

It’s funny that only one person calls her “Choco-chan” in a normal way.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the end, it seems like the template is to support the audience, so whether the song is needed or not, we’re already at the stage where it is needed.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

Magic is amazing~

138: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I really thought it was amazing how the thematic elements of Shabon Tension, along with its quirks and uniqueness, are all cohesively brought together at such a high level.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

Push catchy foods like this and force your mark to be left behind.

Push catchy foods like this and force your mark to be left behind.

Gunma-chan, yokan, open your dreams! The angels from Nabana’s house, Gunma-chan, yokan.

140: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Well… it’s that idol thing with Tsunku’s cooperation, you know!

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

Only Choco-chan is my healing.

143: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Work Summary

Produced by “Sunrise Studio” (Bandai Namco Filmworks), which has released works like “Gundam” and “Love Live!”. The screenplay is written by “Erika Yoshida,” who worked on NHK’s sequential television drama “Tora ni Tsubasa” in the first half of 2024. The theme song “Sugosug! Maebashi Witches” is written by “Tsunku♂”.

There is only truth.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s better than a rejected job offer than having dead bodies.

148: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

To be honest, I already like the opening theme enough to want to repeat it at this point.

I like the part where it’s like “maybe yes? maybe no?”

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

No matter how amazing the people involved are, if the content doesn’t have great appeal, it won’t go anywhere, as past works have shown us.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s fine for the main theme of the story to feature ideas, but please stop inserting irrelevant things like medical school.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t hate the spirit of just singing for now.

155: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The lyrics that make you think, “Tsunku is really amazing…”

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the context of Maebashi City, there isn’t much, you know…

Mizusawa Kannon and udon are also not in Maebashi City.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

I hardly stay in that room, so I don’t think it’s really become a local anime.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

The encore at the live show was, of course, a Maebashi call.

It was in Ikebukuro.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that the competition for event tickets is low, so it’s a relief.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

Maebashi gives the impression that it can rank quite high among the energetic areas in Gunma.

But when I said that, I was also scolded by the locals who told me not to underestimate Maebashi.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really like how each episode’s subtitle and next episode preview line hits just the right way.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

Actually, we’re doing a Gunma Quiz every day on our official X account.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

X has more followers than the Apocalypse Hotel.

164: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

While it’s said that the local products from Okinawa are ideal, it feels like they exist simply because Okinawa has become such a major tourist city.

There aren’t many regions that can beat that level of strength.

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t the Maebashi element going to be more like… Zombie Land Saga?

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

I only knew about Bozaro, so I didn’t realize I could write such a sharp script…

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it has idol elements, performing live in various places will surely make Maebashi smile.

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

T point

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

You got an account with a lot of followers from your childhood friend, didn’t you?

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

A local anime came out, but it ended without making much of an impact.

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it just that the chubby girl is always in an avatar state?

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

Do you look like a real chubby girl?

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

The ideal is a stage use akin to Natsu-iro Kiseki.

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kashiwa and Chiba are like that, huh…

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

Local products are ideal for tie-ups as they are easily associated with road movies or high school girls exploring various places.

Apart from Seibu Railway.

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

Regardless of the subject matter, it seems meaningless unless we get out of the store more and turn it into a local stage.

181: Japan Otaku Reviews

Azu-chan can’t go outside…

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

If Az doesn’t lose weight, they can’t do local PR.

Lose weight.
