Magical Emi, the Magic Star (魔法のスターマジカルエミ Mahō no Sutā 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 Kazuki has had it demonstrated her whole life that a magician can inspire immense euphoria within his audience with his extensively-refined and carefully practiced prestidigitation —a lesson whose mastery is catalyzed in no small part by her mother Youko having made her debut under the tutelage of her parents Haruko and Yousuke Nakamori who lead the Magic Carat troupe.

Unfortunately, the road to master magician is neither simple nor straightforward in fair weather, even for Mai's hero the legendary magician Emily Howell; in Mai's particular case, the clumsiness and immaturity endemic to a young child continue to be debilitating obstacles even if the victims take these flaws in stride and encourage Mai to work through them. A magic bracelet from the mirror fairy Topo endows unto Mai a transformation to the consummate teenage magician Magical Emi that catalyzes her professional development along with Magic Carat; still, Mai's greatest ambition is to refine herself into a master magician all by herself.

The opening is so 80...it was amazing, at least to me. Also, rather than the normal persepective this one includes magic of the circus even prestidigitation, which caught my eye, though mai can be a very...slippery magician. But as Emi her mastery is amazing and, the mascot...Topo, the fairy from mirror world...Topo...kinda like a weird name it's also me because it means "mole" anyway, the dilemma, a classical one which we've all seen begins. Who should she be? Mai or...the genius Emi?
