Magic User's Club! (1996–1997)
!!!!!
17 August 2001
This is one of the better English-dubbed animes I've seen. The plot revolves around five characters who are members of a "Magic Club" at their high school. What the world doesn't know, is that they are using real magic, not just parlor tricks. An alien force "invades" earth (although they never harm humans unless provoked, they quite often destroy property and examine people, making them uncomfortable.) The main character is a ditzy, clumsy, innocent girl, a new recruit to the club. The other characters are the nerdy, perverted founder of the magic club (the main girl's love interest); his right-hand man (an effeminate gay boy who constantly flirts with him); the main girl's right hand girl (quite bossy and bitchy; and also quite reluctant to be in the club); and rounding (no pun intended) out the main characters is the well-developed, semi-slutty (but not quite) girl, who never shows up for meetings. One minor character worth mentioning is the ridiculously well developed Miaka (i think that's her name), who antagonizes the leader of the club and always finds some way to put attention to her boobs. As you probably have guessed, this movie (actually, series of movies) has quite a few sexual innuendoes and references, which are extremely funny, without the need to get too raunchy. I saw the first four episodes of "Magic User's Club" on DVD just a couple of hours ago at a friend's house. I'm guessing you'll have to order this movie, rather than find it in a store. P.S.- a great feature, on the second DVD, are the "outtakes", where the voice-actors mess up... apparently the main actress is quite spunky, breaking out into Madonna's "Music" while her character is in a record store, to name one out of several hilarious outtake moments. I hope you find it, and enjoy!
