Introduction
After the Ice Queen brings eternal winter to the land of Nariadia, the only hope to restore balance is to gather human warriors and give them the power of Naria crystals. For this reason, Animaru has chosen the middle schoolers Urara, Inaho, and Hanabi as warriors. The girls, however, are much more focused on mocking the events happening around them and trying to earn money as idols.
When the Ice Queen's familiars appear, they use the "Ice Mirror" to trick the girls into performing ridiculous skits. Will Urara, Inaho, and Hanabi ever step up and embrace their roles as magical girls, or will their antics prove too distracting to themselves?

Looking at other reviews, I think people took it too seriously.
This anime is very unserious. So unserious, the ending actually got me.
If you like shitpost and improv sessions, you'll enjoy this anime. Don't expect anything, not even animation or a story.
Also, we had a cameo of Iyami from Osomatsu for some reasons? I wonder if it was the same voice actor lol
I'm putting in the same category as Pop Team Epic but with 5000 yen as maximum budget.
I wish there was more unserious stuff like this. Kinda miss the era of shitpost on TV between major animes. The team could do anything they want and had fun.

Alright, time to write a fair and objective critical review of Mahou Shoujo? Naria Girls by breaking down the medium into its elements and judging it using a quantifiable, numbers-based rating system. OK, let's go!
Animation - 0
There is no animation. The story portions are still frames and the comedy portions are made with 3D motion capture similar to vTubers with 3D models.
Technically there is a little animation. There are mouth flaps during the eyecatch segments, there is an animated special effect for the magical beam attack, and there is a 5 second sketch style animation in the final episode. But that is not enough to even clear the bar to be considered an anime.
Art - 2
The art used for the still frames is nothing special, certainly below average. It's about on par with the barga…

This show has a very specific type of comedy that I don't expect to appeal to the public but do not expect a good show, it is funny because its bad and I hope its intentional.
To put it simply the show is three women in a room with 3D vtuber models and what I assume is a script reading "Magical girl anime". Its just pure unscripted comedy which is why its hit or miss, a vague plot is present but only so that the show is somewhat connected. There are small cutaways with the villain of the week being interviewed which I personally found funny, an unscripted skit the girls have to perform and casual banter. That's it really. The 9/10 is for entertainment value alone expect nothing else from this, the only reason its not a 10 is because of the serious ending which is forced in which I think i…

If you go into this show expecting a "normal" anime, you're going to be very disappointed. This is not a normal anime. The best way I can describe it is a couple VTubers doing improv sketch comedy in VR chat. There was an attempt at an overarching story, but it's so cliche that it really isn't worth paying attention to for the most part (with the exception of the final episode where everything suddenly gets way more serious out of nowhere, which gave me some serious tonal whiplash. In a good way that is)
I don't think I even need to say anything about the animation. It's bad. Probably the worst I've seen in anime so far. Just some bad motion capture on ugly, static backgrounds. Although I will admit, the fact that their outfits don't change even a little bit when they transform is kinda f…

Oh god. What even is this? I didn’t exactly have high expectations in the first place, but they just became nonexistent the first five minutes of this garbage. I wanted to make a review, so I had to suffer through all 12 episodes and pray this would stop. I cannot wait to return to the actual anime world and not this.
STORY: The story is quite unpredictable but I didn’t like it. The ending was confusing.
ART: Look up one image of this show if you already haven’t, and you will be absolutely mortified.
SOUND: I would say it’s the show’s only strong point since I did enjoy the ED but that’s it.
CHARACTER: The characters except the pink girl was not well developed.
ENJOYMENT: Cannot believe I actually forced myself to sit through eight minutes of pain 12 times. The jokes and puns sucked…

Mahou Shoujo? Naria☆Girls is a very bizarre little project.
The story follows 3 magical girls fighting baddies of the week to save the magical land of Nariadia from a wicked Ice Queen… Though 85% of the screentime is dedicated to the girls who have no particular interest in being magical girls instead doing prompted improv comedy skits a la Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Far more important than what it claims to be about, is how it was made. Naria Girls is almost entirely non-scripted. The three protagonists are played vocally and physically by their voice actresses – literally, they rigged up their voice actresses with motion capture to control CG anime models, and captured their performances live! There is a director who prompts the actresses, and there are some scenes that were definitely…

well ill give this anime one thing it made me laugh. not in a good way tho i was laughing at how trash the art style was. I feel like the writer basically got 3 random girls off the street and put a body tracking system on them. put them in front of a green screen then told them all to talk at the same time. So annoying, the first 6 eps are all the same thing. After the 6th ep a bunch of random stuff happens that has no way to fit into the show also the first ep had nothing to do with the rest of the show go watch sailor moon if u want a magic school girl show. 1/10 nothing is good about this anime oh wait at first there is like 5 seconds in the op that was kinda lit when the killed mob looking things but if that the best this anime has then its really bad.

Wow, this sure is an underrated anime! But worry not, cause I'm here to clear this anime's name. I've seen that reviews here do this thing were they compare the anime that they're reviewing with others similar in style and more popularity. In this case I'll be choosing Nyan~ Neko Sugar Girls: even though they aren't on the same genre, they share a unique way of telling their respective stories. That's why I'll use it as a metric for rating this anime.
Story: 6/10 (1/10 if compared to other animes)
This anime engages in the common story-telling practice, usually found in seasonal animes that are 13 episodes long, commonly known as "developing the plot on the last four episodes". Mahou Shoujo? Naria☆Girls does this gracefully and better that any other anime that I've ever seen, developing a…

If you like shows such as "Whos Line is it Anyway?", then you may like this show.
I first discovered this on Crunchyroll and found the image poster to be pretty so I wanted to see what it was like. I suppose you could say the image is rather misleading considering the anime itself consists of cgi motion capture with some stillframe illustrations. I didn't expect myself to watch more after the first episode, but regardless if it was curiosity, enjoyment or the need of always finishing an anime, I kept watching. It's a parody anime that much is obivious. Morso it's an experiment probably with some well known voice actors in Japan. If one isn't caught up on current trends or humor from Japan it can easily become lost on American audiences. I think episode 9 is when it started to get pretty fu…

"Vatican Carrots!"
Look at all of the bad reviews. How many episodes have they seen? 1 or 2 episodes is undoubtedly not enough to give this anime a holistic and comprehensive review.
Don't let this anime's synopsis fool you. If you take this anime seriously, then its score of 3.91 will be no shock to you. But this anime is not meant to be taken seriously. Its story is actually just a background for the refreshingly candid and original humor. The animation and voice acting are deliberately this way to perfectly fit the anime's theme. It's just satirically hilarious.
Granted, its humor is not for everyone. Mahou Shoujo Naria Girls' humor is very particular, and it expects the audience to have some kind of prior understanding/experience with its type of humor. It's not at all a generic com…

Yawn...
Plot and story:
So, the "story" follows Urara, Hanabi and Inaho, who become the three legendary Naria girls - Spring, Summer and Autumn - to stop the evil Ice Queen from sending her monsters to Earth.
The story is rushed. Everything happens so quickly and the episodes are repetetive. All episodes go something like this;
1. The girls talk about something random
2. Monster appears
3. The girls do some improvisation sketches
4. They transform
5. They call out random names of their attacks and defeat the monster It's the same thing over and over again. The only thing that changes are the jokes.
There are no fighting scenes either. Just pictures.
Oh, and let's not forget about all the commercials for Final Fantasy, music singles and new anime.
Characters:
I've got two word for this; F…

Naria Girls is perhaps one of the worst anime I have ever seen and is definitely the worst title from this year thus far, even worse than other pieces of dookie such as "Big Order" or "Mayogia". It's that bad!
Everything about this anime reeks of laziness from the opening credits, to the animation to the voice acting. Nothing in this show is remotely decent and everything makes me want to throw up into a basket of puppies.
The plot makes no sense and I won't even try to explain it in this review. It's about three girls that become magical girls and have to fight the forces of evil or some crap like that. Boring and generic. What really makes this anime so bad, however, is the atrocious "script"...if you could even call it that. Most of the dialogue between the three girls is improvisatio…
