Star Majikaru Emi
?) is a magical girl anime series by Studio Pierrot. It was simultaneously
released as a manga by Kiyoko Arai. The third
magical girl series created by Studio Pierrot, Magical Emi
also appears in three feature-length OVAs, as well as the Adesugata Mahou no Sannin Musume and
Majokko Club Yoningumi A-kukan kara no Alien X OVAs.
Plot
Mai Kozuki is from a family of magicians. Her grandparents are leaders of a
troupe, Magic Carat, and their daughter — Mai's mother — debuted
under them. Naturally, Mai wants to become a magician herself, just
like her hero, the fabulous legend Emily Howell. Unfortunately,
because she is still a young girl, she is very clumsy and
unsure.
One day, while helping her grandfather move things, Mai sees a
strange light enter an odd, heart shaped mirror and turn into a
mirror fairy named Topo. He takes over the body of her favorite
toy, a stuffed flying squirrel, and explains that he
must give magic to the one who can see him. He gives her a bracelet
with the symbols of the 4 card suits (spade, club, diamond and heart) which produces a magic
wand. By waving the wand, Mai becomes Magical Emi, a teenage
magician. She stars in her grandparents' shows, and uses magic to
help solve problems. But at the end of the day, she wants to become
a magician all by herself.
Cast
Trivia
- Magical Emi's costume somewhat resembles that of the DC Comics
character Zatanna, complete
with top hat.
- Numerous references to the earlier Pierrot series Creamy Mami
are made throughout the series, for example a girl wearing Yuu
Morisawa's outfit is seen in Mai's classroom, and Mai has a Creamy
Mami manga book on her desk.
