Magical Project S - Episodes 22 to 26

This series peaked many times in the last ten episodes. Each time it reached one, it jumped right over to the next. It may be a terrible analogy, but Magical Project S was mountain goat anime.
It became terribly weird to watch anime in which Aeka was the ultimate evil and Ryoko was a devoted and loyal servant of Juraihelm, but these aren't the same characters as before. Ryo-Ohki had human intelligence and an entirely different gender (which is why he was so embarrassed to be in the bath with Sasami). Sasami was a very good lead and Misao was great when she emerged from her chrysalis.
The final ten episodes raised Magical Project S from a simply enjoyable series to a rockin' fun great series. That said, it's not simply a case of "tolerating" the first fifteen. Development was handled very well and Tsunami was great, although quite how she was fit for ruling I'm not sure. But that's the whole point!
The omake movie trailer was hilarious, and I wish all fake movies could be like that. It took a while for me to warm to the second ED, but it grew on me for sure. A good series has an ending that makes you sad to see it go, but ultimately satisfies. Magical Project S did just that.
It was a triumph of direction for Akiyama Katsuhito, who directed the worst thing that I watched last year - Armitage III: Dual-Matrix. When he works with traditional AIC material, he is a king.
