This series, clearly influenced by anime, is a fun and nice series which is generally carefree, playing off the trope of brainless villains (Mephisto and Praxina who are the minions of Gramorr) and a focus on magical girls, especially in Season 1. Still, it does have themes of acceptance, friendship, romance, and more, interweaved within the show itself. The show centers around three characters who are magical princesses and singers in a band named Lolirock: Talia, Auriana, and Iris, with Amaru, their magical being who can turn into their steed. Emaru can also summon the arena which seems to resemble the area where Utena fights her foes in the series, Revolutionary Girl Utena, especially due to the fact that it is completely manufactured. The end of the first season raises the stakes of the show, as three new characters, apart from Talia's sister Izira are introduced, one thief named Lev and two princesses named Lyna and Carissa. Unfortunately, although the stakes are raised in the next season, these characters are seriously underutilized, with the ground laid for a third season. The latter is unlikely at this point as the second season ended in 2017.
