Mahou Tsukai Tai directly translates to I want to use Magic
, and was released
In America as Magic Users Club by Media Blasters. It's exceptionally cute by outward
appearance, but aside from it's good natured upbeat story and humor, its the slightly
perverse side to the comedy which makes this one absolutely hilarious. Not so uncommon
these days, but a very unusual approach in its day.
The first release was a six part OVA, followed by a 12 episode TV series. A manga was later created as well (the anime created before the manga in this case. Currently the series is available with the TV series and OVA bundled or separate. I found the TV version very disappointing, while the OVA remains one of my favorite series of all time. This page is mostly about the OVA.
