09. Magical Girl Raising Project

Magical Girl Raising Project battle royale anime

As far as she could remember, Himekawa had always loved magical girls. Magical girls are young girls who transform into alter egos with cute costumes and possess magical abilities that they use to protect people. It’s no wonder that she began playing right away as soon as she heard a social networking game exist claiming to grant players a one in ten thousand chance to become a real magical girl.

As fate would have it, she was chosen to become the magical girl known as Snow White. Due to the calculation error, there were too many magical girls residing in one city. The numbers had to be cut in half. To resolve this, they start eliminating those with the least amount of magical candy.

Most anime series with magical girls are light and whimsical; however, this anime takes a different approach. The protagonist in a magical girl anime series always wins in the end without any casualties but a battle royale amongst magical girls makes this anime quite different and exciting.

Most mages that were summoned were honored to participate in the holy grail war but others would have rather been left out of the war. With the Einzbern family’s determination to win, they recruited the mage Kiritsugu, a notorious mage killer to better their chances of winning.
