Disney storyboard artist introduces the cast of her Magical Girl Parody cartoon, which just ends up looking like the second coming of Pen Pals Forever. There's some pronouns bullshittery and the obligatory wholesum 15 year old lesbians plotline, but it's otherwise unremarkable to the point where I start to question where I've seen this exact pitch before. (why is it always the magical girls)

As a sidenote, the artist retweeted this fanart of her OCs. archive

I'm not gonna lie, I think the art is cute and creating original characters is at least a step up from stealing and shitting on somebody else's work. That doesn't make appeal. You see all these character descriptions but none of them really answer what this show is even about or why it exists. Kids like cartoons with cool visuals, engaging stories and memorable characters. I'm completely failing to see what kind of appeal children will find in these characters much less this story. It feels like a "kids' show" targeted towards nostalgic adults.
