Product Description

On the outside, Punie-chan looks like your average magical girl. She's a cheery princess from another land, she's attending school on Earth for the year, and she has an adorable animal sidekick. But cross her and prepare to pay the price. The sweet young lady becomes a merciless force of destruction, leaving bodies, utterly broken by her signature submission holds, in her righteous wake. And while it seems that she has more enemies than friends, and that even her sidekick Paya-tan is out to get her, no one can deny that Punie-chan is irresistible in one shape or form.

Customer Reviews

Not available in English
My mistake I didn't read the information available. If you don't know Japanese and hate reading subtitles this very strange litle story is not for you.
Maybe when I have a better understanding of Japanese language I will watch it again. Otherwise the need to pause to read the dialog just ruins the stories flow. Maybe it will get an English language track someday. Until then I can't recomend it.

Hilarious If Not A Little Empty
It's true that this is another parody comedy and thanks to that distinction, it's very easy to brush this one aside for lacking story or a point for that matter. With hilarious characters and a style that isn't afraid to jump from light to dark and then back again, Punie-chan is a release that I would gladly watch again and show to others as a great example of what parody anime can be. If you're a fan of magical girls, over the top violence and parody comedy than this is a release that belongs in your collection. Very recommended.

If you don't mind broken bones and twisted joints...
magical Witch Punie-chan is a fun anime series. It contains 8 half episodes of 15 minutes each of this magical girl parody. Punie-chan has left magical land to study on earth for year in order to prove herself worthy of being the successor to her mother Queen Esmerelda. However, unlike most magical girl shows Punie-chan is actually evil. She spends the time on earth using her magic to cause chaos and when that fails engage in brutal bone breaking violence with her submissions. Everyone including her mascot is trying to kill her and much carnage ensues. So if you don't mind watching bone breaking violence done by a cute magical girl all in the name of comedy then this is for you. It differs from the directors other magical girl parody Dokura-chan by being more brutal with less blood. Dokura-chan is mischievous and perverted, Punie-chan is evil.

I deduct one star because this is Japanese with english subs with no english language track and the 4 fun Omake episodes which explore Punie-chan's magical Land home are missing. A shame since all 4 episodes add up to less than 10 minutes. Nevertheless there is lots of fun to be had here if you are into this kind of humour
