      I like it. Then again, it's low effort to keep up on a webcomic you check on once a month.

      They dropped that idea and just made them all girls. Still kept the four elements idea and mostly the designs.
      Then they killed off the team so it's just Water with other girls.

          For me at least it seems the one criteria to be chosen to be a meguca is to strongly desire to be a meguca and be qualified for that (so, it's pretty much just young people the chosen ones).
          Biological gender be dammed, you get meguca with wiener now.

            She kind of didn't want to be one though. She eventually got out there, but early on she was being bullied because she was in the really nice school for magical girls that gets the big government bucks, but wasn't going out at night to fight.

          That's my main problem with this comic, the relationships are not diverse, it's just a lot of regular simple friendships, the other is the lack of characters with goals other than just being a generic superhero, it's such a big cast but there is no diversity of relationships and personalities, everything feels the same, the lack of humor is another problem, there are no jokes even though it's a light hearted family friendly story.

              Dunno, I didn't read Madoka. However each character being it hero or villain having their own different goals is pretty basic on storytelling, something this comic lacks for whatever reason, that's why it's not interesting to focus on any character but the two protagonists and even those two are too similar to each other.

      Team Alchemical dying feels kind of like a rugpull. Like, you have this setup of a team and put together and have some generic character traits to everyone, and then before you get to know anyone... bam, everybody's dead. And now it's a story about somebody dealing with that, while the cover still features three dead people.

      I still like the comic. It's just strange how so much marketing went into the "main five" cast only for them to get run over by the metaphorical bus.

        Funny enough, I read the comic not being subjected to the marketing, I just kind of heard about it and gave it a read. Their death were surprising but being early on the comic I kind of got what they where going for. There are already make comics with magical elemental teams of female friends, this comics gives something different by going of script and just using the alchemical team as a jumping point.

    We got so little to do with them that any sadness the comic expects me to feel just makes me think of lost potetnial instead.
    >Undine's adventures
    Mostly boring, sidetracked by a romance plot, and the one person who provided any conflict in the new setup was killed off immediately(barely got introduced before immediatly going poof) so we have time for more romance while the plot moves at a glacial pace.
    The only halfway decent part of the story is Tessa.
    Like the art though.

      Team Alchemical's demise is wasted potential, the audience barely had any time to meet them more properly and develop genuine affection on them.
      But Cassie's demise is almost insulting, like finally actual conflict in Undine's life beyond the meguca shit, and then Cass gets GTFO the plot for it. Cass made the mistake of questioning the actual comic, and putting the author pet in question too.

            Well the comic is about the survivors going on with their lives. You have Toroko the weakest and lamest of the girls dealing with continuing her career and making new friends, and Tessa going to lame school and her spiral of grief until she gets gooped. The mysteryof what is going on in this world is the main appeal of the story.

    I like the world I like the mystery of what is beyond the barrier, I like the weird culture that forms around magical girls. But I wish we went on to business already, the purple girl is clearly not the main villain, and there is more to the world that meets the eye. But I want the characters to get there now. This comic updates once a week, is not the kind of story where characters should have long winded conversations about the same stuff they've been talking about many times already.

    I like the weird alchemy witch and her conspiracy theories and how the people in charge already knows what's beyond the dome but keep it a secret because any answer would be to depressing.

        The "one or a few pages a week" model is completely old hat. At this point they should be doing either complete 18-20 page chapters biweekly or like 4 page weekly chapters like twitter manga.

        Webcomics update way too slowly which is why they've become a moribund medium.

                My hate just came from recent cartoons being garbage and just defaulting to lazy lesbian shipping at cost of everything. Not that there's anything wrong with lesbian stuff inherently, but too often the characters in lesbian ships become lobotomized.

                Rude, but I clearly stated what I dislike. Ships take priority over anything else in these stories: so the stories suffer as a result. It's not lesbian specific even, Korra is a good example of it with S1 characters (Bolin and Asami) becoming flandarized versions of themselves the very moment Mako and Korra get back together, but lesbian ships are overly common when this does happen.

                Nobody argues that Korra is good. That show's just uniquely disappointing, and Makorra being such a bad ship is most of the reason Korrasami was seen as inoffensive outside of here. Christ, this place losing their minds over it despite how all the alternatives sucked.

                I got pissed that Jarco broke up, too, and think Starco as a ship got handled horribly, but I can still see good in between the bad. Seasons 3 and 4 aren't better than 2, but I still found the Markelly episode and the Blood Moon breakup fun.

      The team is formed around the theme of emotions with the view that all are valid; Happiness, love, sadness, fear, anger. Even the negative ones. Sometimes to beat a foe you need blind range, sometimes it's healthy to feel fear.

    My magical girl series was not inspired by Sailor Moon, Star Vs, or Steven Universe

    Hypothetically, If I were to make a magical boy story, would I be taking fashion cues from Japanese school uniforms?

        I assumed girl uniforms are what magical girl outfits started out using for inspiration. The idea is to stick close to source material.

          That is a pretty valid reason but the few magic boys that exist don't seem to have outfits necessary inspired by japanese school uniforms.

      I’d suggest either that, knights, or Kamen Rider.
      Personally mine look like regular guys with crystals, scales, and weapons jutting out of their bodies in a horrific monster state, but that’s just because my magical boys are the unwilling victims of a horrific magic implantation surgery carried out by rogue agents

      Very slim, considering foreshadowing is pointing to the Founder/OG magical girl also being the source of the monsters.

      Not revealed, but you at least have to identify as a girl and be under the age of 18.

        It would make complete sense in canon for there to be government hired groomers for when they need to bolster their ranks

          There would be clashing with Founder fundamentalists who would hold they stray too far from the Founder's example.

    Madoka ripoff.
    I didn't like when Madoka did it either, but a bunch of e-girlcons with no taste really loved it.

      I did like it, until the movies. This feels like Mary's hoping no one ever saw Madoka.

          What bout Sparkling Generation Valkyrie yuuki? Another dead web comic, that never ended. I get artist want to tell a story but maybe they should be realistic on on how much they can handle.

    >What's Cinemaphile opinion about this comic?
    I expected something more original and better executed. Trying to reinvent mahou shoujo after Madoka is a recipe for failure. The characters are all shallow as frick and I lost interest after realizing it was going to be a mystery box just like Madoka. Good art but that's par for the course with Cagle.

      Madoka wasn't a mystery box.

    I honestly preferred her journal comic about being a teacher in Japan and I thought that it was utterly ridiculous that she would give up a promising career living abroad just so she could spend more time on making a silly fantasy webcomic.

      It seems like it's a rotating door system though. They don't want real english teachers, they want to take someone who barely knows japanese, throw them in with the kids and let them figure it out. Maybe she could have stayed a bit longer, but promising career is a stretch.

        Yeah it's pretty much this.
        Mary got the job mostly for the experience instead of an actual solid career position. Fitting for a traditionalist country like Japan.

        But hey, at the end we got some of the best Mary has to offer out of her experiences there.
