To everyone asking, YES! We WILL do a part 2 of this with all the newer girls! It's just a matter of all of us being free and motivation. But don't worry, we will get to it! I've also thought about doing a spin-off of all the girls from other Madoka media and the alt versions of the characters. Thank you so, so much for the support on this video!
Something I didn't notice is how little the outfits fit in with Madoka Magica, the original outfits were simple and combined fitting themes with their characters wheras these feel like they're from a knock off game and dig into a single gimmick
I didn't even notice how many midriffs were in Magia Record until this video lmao Also I feel like Madoka Magica was pretty good at making most of its characters completely unsexualized, and part of that was because of the art style they went with, so idk why they were like "yeah let's do creepy fanservice posthumously."
Just for reference, the characters designed by Aoki Ume (the original designer for the original show) covered in this video are: Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Sana, Felicia, Kaede, Rena, Momoko, Mifuyu, Alina, Touka, Nemu, Ui, and Kuro.
Yes!! I adore Aoki Ume's designs so much. Some more than others, obviously, but regardless, of the main cast you could tell there was a sense of consistency between those characters.
I feel like the prisoner look fits Nemu in a way that she kinda got pulled along by Toukas alternate plan after Ui was forgotten by everyone but her. Her friendship and loyalty to Touka chains her to the plan and makes her go on while Alina came in right after the incident with Ui and erected that barrier that quite literally keeps is all together, she guards Toukas plan and Nemu kinda has to go along since she doesnt see another option at this point. At least thats how I see it. Edit: I feel like Ui is probably the victim and not the prisoner.
the designs feel like they peeked into precure all stars with one eye closed and follow the "different designs rulesets" but left the "but still able to blend with others surprisingly nicely" and ran with, whatever they need to follow Seinen and Gacha genre fanservice guideline
In my opinion, a good magica outfit sticks to one core color with the importance of white and black representing some of the themes from the series, Selfless or Selfish. Some of the outfits in record don't work because they don't follow that rule.
This is absolutely hilarious! This is one of the first videos of yours I've seen and you've earned a new sub! There are a lot of good magia record designs but it seems like there are just as many problematic ones. Some of them are literally almost half naked! Kyubey needs to give these girls some less revealing outfits. I would recommend the series Touhou Project for amazing female characters designs. The cast is 99 percent female yet 0 percent of them are sexualized in any way. I'm surprised it's managed to stay that way for 10+ years. That's something I really appreciate about the creator.
Thank you so much!! It makes me so happy that other peeps like this~ And as much as Kyubey is at fault, it's not his fault that the designers forget these characters are kids x.x
@@CakeoftheMews Lol right, I agree that the designers totally play a part in some of the problematic designs. Anyway, I look foward to a part 2! The designs only get stranger from here and is part of the reason I kinda quit Magia Record for a while. I felt the game was becoming a little too fanservicey. It's quiet shocking how the original Madoka Magica series had no fanservice at all, but it's now the complete opposite. Like how Mami had bigger breasts than the other main girls but her transformation scenes never focused on her chest once, yet in Magia Record I feel like the promotional artwork and the transformations exaggerate her breasts a ton and make them bigger than what they were originally.
@@AzuI010 Yeah!! That's the most frusterating thing! Pmmm was so good partly because there was no fanservice. But every other piece of Madoka media just shoves fanservice down our throats and it's like WOAH why all of a sudden this???
@@CakeoftheMews Part of the reason is because Gen Urobuchi, the original writer for Puella Magi Madoka Magica, said that he wanted no fanservice in the original series. But I heard he's not involved in Magia Record and that's why it's so different from the original.
Still waiting for part 2!! Maybe even you can review the design of Doppels, Witches or the Uwasa. tbh I think those designs are stronger than the girls tho
Lmao they're right, the main characters are designed by the original character designer for madoka Most of the artwork is done by different people when they level up for the main cast, The rest of the magical girls are designed by sperate artists, designing the characters themselves and doing the artwork. AND LEAVE MY BABY NATSUKI ALONE 😭
Honestly I really love how varied the Magia Record designs are, and all the artists brought on are amazing!! It all comes down to personal taste, really. Tho I am sorry Natsuki is just way to busy for me why does she have green in her costume-
Ok so my original comment was either deleted by UA-cam or something else happened. Gonna give benefit of the doubt here though regardless and try again. This time I'll try and be more 'UA-cam Friendly' with my statements. I find the chest judgements to be unnecessary. Puberty is different for everyone, so sometimes bigger chests can happen, sometimes small chests do. I should know given I've been stuck with a near nonexistent chest size my whole life and am currently an adult. I also knew girls shorter or younger than me with bigger chests. It's not an uncommon thing really. I bring this up only because the comments made rubbed me the wrong way. I'm not angry or trying to be mean here. Just a bit concerned given I myself was raised to not judge people based on things like chest size. You're judging designs, the outfits...not the body types. Please remember this for future videos. Now obviously some of these designs are problematic and even have major posing issues. Obviously they should be fixed up and/or redone. But still tone it down with the chest judgement, it's not necessary. All I'm saying. Once again have a good day.
Hey it worked, this one stayed! Gonna assume UA-cam just doesn't like the other word for chest then. Seems stupid to me...but eh what can ya do really? This version of my comment is better worded anyway in my perspective and shorter to boot. So I'm not too annoyed about the censorship there. Just hope my words are taken to heart and that nobody is upset or anything like that.
I totally understand what you mean. People's bodies are different, and it's important to respect that. However, I also think it's necessary to remember that these characters don't just "happen" to look the way they do. They were designed like that on purpose. When it comes to characters like Mami, it doesn't matter too much, since her chest was never focused on (in the OG series I mean). However when it comes to say, Natsuki? That is the absolute center of her character. And especially in the one card art I showed, it's obvious that she was drawn like that purely for fanservice. It's also a matter of taste, too. Some of these designs I quite like while my friends took issue with them. I appreciate you giving your concern, and I will absolutely keep it in mind for the future.
I do know artist intent is not always pure(Shadman for instance disgusts me as an artist), regardless I have my own thoughts on the matter as stated before. Provided the art is not made for ill intent, then my conscience is clear and I won't judge it. If the one behind the art is known for doing things for any malicious intent(again Shadman), then I will admonish it. Even I know that you can't always separate art from the artist themselves.
@@CakeoftheMews Good to hear. It would probably make sence to seperate the characters into their respective clans. I personally have become a big fan of Hikaru Kiraris design, after pulling her during the current new years event. In general Promised Blood might be my favourite clan design wise. Yunas transformation alone needs to be praised for breaking the mold. In case you have for some reason not seen it: ua-cam.com/video/6ZkOBR20LIU/v-deo.html
This was fun for the most part, but I did get annoyed by all the aversion to cleavage and other more risque elements to character designs. And the whole "wait, what is her age" thing. Like, they're teenagers, not children. I'm just like, most teenagers bare some skin these days? Grow up a bit? It just gets tiring to see people overblow it, ya know? Your reactions to Himika and Leila were priceless though. But I was honestly surprised by how deep you got into Seika's design and hated it. And of course Kuroe and her waste of a design, lol. And yeah, Mikazuki Villa and KMR have midriffs and belly-showing. Anybody who actually knows Aoki Ume (the OG Series Holy Quintet designer), knows that she's actually quite the fetishist, and she was allowed to make more of what she liked in Magia Record. So midriffs and legs galore. It's basically what should be expected of her. Even the Holy Quintet designs have shades of her fetishes. Sayaka's belly gem, Homura's tights, and Mami in general. In her own words "I like highschool girls after all."
When it comes to cleavage, it really is just a matter of personal taste. I honestly love Masara's design, but my friend wasn't so much. Meanwhile that same friend liked Hazuki's design while I didn't. It really is a matter of individual Most of the "problem" designs (I say that very lightly) weren't done by Aoki, though. Like, I adore all of her designs so much. It's clear she has a specific aesthetic she enjoys and that is totally fine! The main complaint there was just that when you line all those designs up and see just HOW MANY midriffs there are, it's a little repetitive. Magia Record is truly amazing with it's variety of artists and designs, and this was just my friends and I giving our own individual takes as artists. Very glad you enjoyed it regardless!

Nemu is the prisoner because the system she created is meant to liberate magical girls, but traps her
Something I didn't notice is how little the outfits fit in with Madoka Magica, the original outfits were simple and combined fitting themes with their characters wheras these feel like they're from a knock off game and dig into a single gimmick
"every girl deserves a fire arm

It's a gachapon; they want more sex-appeal so that the (generally straight males) players spend more money.
@@NIHIL_EGO Yeahhhh. Not a fan of that business model considering these characters are mostly minors but I guess they do what they can to make money
Oh wow, this is exactly the kind of specific content I wanted to exist within the internet

Also Asuka
I feel like the prisoner look fits Nemu in a way that she kinda got pulled along by Toukas alternate plan after Ui was forgotten by everyone but her.

Edit: I feel like Ui is probably the victim and not the prisoner.
the revelations with natsuki and saika still floor me every time. we love figuring out how baffling character designs actually are
18:56 They're absolutely confirmed now, they had their wedding (not technically, but basically) a couple months ago. < 3
I SAW!!! I legit couldn't believe it was real BUT IT WAS and it made me so so happy~
the designs feel like they peeked into precure all stars with one eye closed and follow the "different designs rulesets" but left the "but still able to blend with others surprisingly nicely" and ran with, whatever they need to follow Seinen and Gacha genre fanservice guideline
Actually the JP server released a Kokoro and Masara wearing a tux and wedding gown version. So it's canon.
AS IT SHOULD BE
Man i loved this, this was a really fun video, i would love if you did another one!
In my opinion, a good magica outfit sticks to one core color with the importance of white and black representing some of the themes from the series, Selfless or Selfish. Some of the outfits in record don't work because they don't follow that rule.
We need more magia record reviews like this, this is thee content we deserve
Part 2 when
I’m glad you enjoyed it!! Part 2 will happen whenever we al have free time sobs
It was fun listening to you all rant about the girls' designs, would love to see another one for Arc 2 and the newer girls
Stacey and Raven wouldn’t last long with the Suzune Magica designs
👀❓
On top of that, there are the Tart Magica, Oriko Magica, and Kazumi Magica girls that you all have to do!
like kazumi's outfit?? SUZUNE???? bruh they're 13 for crying out loud
@@kazu2kazu very revealing outfits for 13 year old magical girls
Here’s to hoping for a part 2 especially since even the up server has reached eos
Crying because we wont get a sequel to this video so theyll never get to see the mess that is San Kagura
I think it would’ve been better if Nemu was the judge and iroha was the prisoner
Im really happy to see people making videos like these because this fandom is honestly a really small fandom or at least here on youtube 😍😩🤩🤩
I've gotten a lot of comments like that, and it always makes me super happy~
The way that they logiced out the Akira situation was that her magic makes barriers/shields on her fists… to punch better? Still funny
part 2????
Why do I feel like the cowgirl magical girl came out of raisin project instead of this
Oh Aimi is MUCH nicer than Calamity Mary I assure you-
I see
That was so good, I really hope you guys make one of these for arc 2 at some point
That's the plan! I just need to get all the images together, as well as have the motivation ;o;

👉👈
I can't wait to see what y'all have to say about Archangel Yachiyo.
Still waiting for part 2!! Maybe even you can review the design of Doppels, Witches or the Uwasa.
tbh I think those designs are stronger than the girls tho
My problem with Nemu is that her design looks like a mis-match of all sorts of things.
I learned some new stuff today.
now that i’ve seen everything involving her i just wanna say i will fight kuroe haters to the death with my bare hands /lh
3:23 LALA SPOTTED
I need one for arc 2 characters 😂
This is very entertaining
I need a part two looking at the rest of the girls
Great video!!! I LOVE Magia Record! :D
And I will choose to continue to believe Masara's SG is on her neck not her thigh.
You should review the doppels or witches next
I did actually show a couple of the doppels! But a proper review would be super fun~
