The premise of this show is basically if Hannah Montana got her musical alter ego (and some ambiguous magic powers) from being abducted by aliens.
It's very cute, very 80s... It's very good for what it is, honestly. I just prefer my magical girl shows to have higher stakes. I was really feeling the lack of a bigger conflict or overarching villain. (Much as the summary claims she fights aliens alongside all her daily life stuff, that's limited to a couple one-off episodes.)
But I really liked Yuu's character. She's just the right blend of easygoing and brash. The kind of kid who's excited to tackle anything.
I may not have loved it, but I won't say the time wasn't well spent. It's always worth seeing the building blocks of a genre.

An anime that is a first in its class, meaning the first magical girl show that was used in conjunction with a real-world idol as a way to sell her and her songs to the starving otaku crowd. Some firsts are still to this day an absolute blast from start to (almost) the end, this in turn is a nice diversion but nothing particularly engaging or memorable to begin with except for the historical importance it had, in line with the show one of the Seiyuus in the voice cast worked in (The first Dirty Pair Series, if you're wondering). The main problem of Mahou No Tenshi Creamy Mami is that, for being primarly targeted towards the advertisement of a real-life idol, the music is really repetitive to the point of becoming stale, with the same songs repeated over and over and over probably because t…

Around the beginning of the pandemic I stumbled across this particular anime. To some this may feel just like some generic kid's magical girl anime, which it is. And for that reason I enjoyed it very much. Each episode I kept looking forward to it like a little child. I even felt as if I could be a magical girl myself and sing my nights away. This anime also gave me this sense of some nostalgia, as if I grew up in the 80s as well which is when it was released. It's nice n wholesome and well, I never had a dull moment watching this. If you like some retro anime maybe give this a try!

Mahō no Tenshi Creamy Mami, along with its rival broadcast: Mahō no Princess Minky Momo, are some of the quintessential '80s magical girl series; and one of the many building blocks that solidified "mahō shōjo" as its own sub-genre. Though Creamy Mami isn't the greatest series, it definitely has a charm to it: from its referential humor to the crazy hijinks that Yū gets herself into; in the pursuit of keeping her identity a secret, as well as winning the heart of her crush, who is only smitten with her alter ego, Creamy Mami!

After reading the Moe Manifesto (A book that covers the history of moe, full of interviews from creators of moe work), I really wanted to look into some of the early 80s series mentioned. There were two series that caught my eye, Creamy Mami and Minky Momo. I could not find subs for the latter, so I decided to watch Mami since all of its episodes were subbed. I did not know what I would be getting myself into. Somehow, I was pretty hooked.
Creamy Mami is one of the most unique magical girl series I have seen. What stands out with this anime is how Yuu’s transforming idol career is integrated to its episodic story structure. In each episode, Creamy Mami covers a lot of intriguing themes and subjects that I did not expect. The situations Yuu goes through with her career can range from bizar…

I stumbled across a screenshot of Creamy Mami one day, and thought Mami looked like such a silly character that I needed to know who the heck she was. After googling various images of her, I felt the urge to watch an episode or two.
I finished the whole anime in about two weeks. That's huge for me.
The characters were so unique and lively, sticking to the same personality throughout the series. It was especially exciting to see Morisawa Yuu, the main character, display such childlike and immature qualities, as it seems as though people often depict their characters as "pure," or "perfect," and what not. In this way, the characters were very relatable and fun to watch! My only complaint about the characters they introduced in the series would be that many of the episodes brought forth int…
