Aquila and Kasumi watch...

Magical Girl Magical Destroyers

Magical Girl Magical Destroyers

May 06, 2023

Kasumi: Let’s look at the current anime season!

Aquila: Yes, let’s!  I love anime.

K: So, we’ll start with Magical Girl Magical Destroyers and...um...

A: Um...

K: What did we just watch?

A: I...I don’t know.  This was weird even by our standards.

K: Compelling, though.

A: Very compelling.  Just...very odd.

K: I mean, it looks like the closing titles are suggesting that the entire thing is happening in Otaku Hero’s head...and that he’s actually in a coma...and the magical girls are his nurses...and then they wheel him away with a sheet over his face...

A: Yeah...

K: That explains why it’s so odd, and that’s...really dark.

A: Perhaps, but I’ve got a better theory.

K: Oh?

A: It’s a misdirect.  The credits are trying to trick us!  It’s not all happening in Otaku Hero’s head...it’s all happening in Anarchy’s head!

K: Wait, you mean the magical girl who’s Otaku Hero’s second-in-command?

A: Think about it!  She does almost everything – Otaku Hero is just a figment of her imagination.

K: But we see him interact with people.

A: No, we see her imagine that he’s interacting with people.  It’s all just her playing out multiple personalities.  Otaku Hero is nothing but Anarchy.

K: So you’re basically saying that Magical Girl Magical Destroyers is Fight Club.

A: I don’t know what that is.

K: That famous movie from the 1990s?  Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, “Don’t talk about Fight Club”?  You haven’t seen it?

A: Doesn’t ring a bell.  Besides, if you can’t talk about it, how is it useful for discussing Anarchy and her hallucinations?

K: No, “Don’t talk about Fight Club” is part of Fight Club.

A: Well, that doesn’t make any sense!  If the movie doesn’t want you to talk about it, how is anybody ever going to see it?  A movie can’t get famous unless people talk about it!  That’s terrible marketing.

K: No, it’s a literal line from Fight Club.  Lots of people saw it.  I saw it.

A: And I told you, I don’t know anything about Fight Club.  No point in talking about it, then.

K: Wait a moment...what you just said didn’t sound like a movie title.

A: It doesn’t matter, because we can’t talk about it.

K: But if you haven’t seen Fight Club, how do you know that you’re not supposed to talk about Fight Club?

A: Because you just told me not to!  Why are we still talking about this?

K: Because your theory is a description of the plot of Fight Club...which you’re claiming you’ve never seen!

A: And I still don’t know anything about Fight Club.

K: Wait a moment...you’ve travelled the story worlds alone...were you in Fight Club?

A: Do I look like somebody who could be in Fight Club?

K: Well, Fight Club was all men...

A: There you go.

K: ...Right.  So, what you’re saying is that Otaku Hero is...Tyler Durden?

A: I don’t know who that is.

K: Oh well, I guess you don’t.  So, to wrap up, who’s your candidate for best girl?

A: Marla Singer.

K: ...Now wait just a min–

NOTE: This series is now on hiatus as Aquila and Kasumi go on their new adventure.

Aquila is a former god of destruction with light blue hair, along with a penchant for military coats and popped collars, who waged a personal war against the world of her creator. Kasumi is her creator, who Aquila saved through a miracle and is now Aquila’s partner in all things. Now that Aquila has atoned for her actions, she and Kasumi are touring the story worlds with their friends...while taking a bit of time to watch some TV and movies.

Come join Aquila and Kasumi on the couch for a nice chill chat as they talk about the latest thing they’ve sat down and enjoyed.

WARNING: There will be spoilers.

New episodes every other Saturday.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: All of the media Aquila and Kasumi review here I consider to be good and worth watching. I do not like the current mean-spiritedness that pervades pop culture discourse, and as such I never want to use these characters to tear down or encourage hate watching a show. It’s meant to be good natured fun, and that’s all there is to it.
