It's one of the new anime based on the light novel of the same name. It shares similar ideas with Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Mahou shojou genre, Highlander style.
So far the deconstructions I see are:
That magical girls are pure, righteous and beautiful. Check
That magical girls must be middle school - high school age range (Do the exceptions make them magical women? Or is it part of the genre? I mean look at Sailor Pluto)
The cute magical animal wants to help you. Fav is definitely Kubey 2.0
Your magical girl transformation makes you female. No matter what sex you started with. Wait..Starlights. Never mind.
So far the ground rules are being explained in Ep 3. You are a magical girl. You are in a contest not be the last to earn magical candies in the real world.You earn magical candies by doing deeds (they don't say whether good or bad). The low magical girl on the totem pole loses her right to become one. Along with her life. Quitting also has the same end result. So now I'm curious. What's the end game and Fav's reason for this?
