How did I wait so long to talk about this one? This was the one that got me into the Magical Girl genre.
The OVA is something we do not discuss, so all of this applies to the TV series.
For those who don't know, this series is a spinoff of the Tenchi Muyo harem franchise, which frequently creates entire shows using the same cast of characters, much like Jewelpet does with its mascot critters. In this case the youngest of Tenchi's harem, has been reworked into a magical girl parody.
The basic plot goes like this. There's a magical kingdom on some faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar off planet called Juraihelm. With the passing of its current queen (then why is it called a kingdom?) a new one is needed, and three candidates are lined up to become the next queen. One of them, who ranks high among the ditziest anime characters I've ever seen, goes by the name of Tsunami and she ends up being chosen to be the next queen.
Before she can take on the role of queen, she must first find her kindred spirit on Earth and give that person magical powers with which to battle the forces of evil. And of course that kindred spirit ends up being none other than Sasami Kawai, our cheerful yet lazy protagonist.
It's a ridiculous, but fun show... until it stops being. The second half of the show gets pretty serious and emotional but still manages to be goofy and fun. I recommend it.
