I know you're looking at the studio right now and thinking "Hmm White Fox? I bet this is also going to be dark like Steins;Gate or Re:Zero". I'll get right to the point but this is NOT a magical girl show with a dark atmosphere. This is just a regular magical girl show. However, that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy this show.

[Story]: (6.5/10)
The story of "Soushin Shojou Matoi" (or Matoi The Sacred Slayed in English) isn't anything special like Madoka Magica or Yuki Yuna is a Hero. It's basically about a normal middle school girl named "Matoi" who wants to live ...

Soushin Shoujo Matoi is a magical girls genre anime that follows a rather ordinary girl as she inadvertently summons the powers of a god that gives her the power to become a magical girl whose purpose is to exorcise evil spirits. While certainly sounding like a average magical girls anime which was my initial thought as well the anime actually has a deeper lesson which is that of friendship that can overcome the hardest of hardships and that if your wish for something is strong enough they may very well come true.

DISCLAIMER: Had to re-upload because of fallacies in my opening statement.

Matoi the Sacred Slayer is an under-viewed show but don't let that stop you from watching it if you are a fan of the magical girl genre.

An area that I find MtSS to be particular lacking is the plot/story department which is what this show struggles with to a large extent. I can’t confirm whether it wants to be an episodic show with an overarching storyline or that it undergoes the linear format which is not the case through retrospection. It all takes off with shrine maiden Sumeragi Matoi being shocked with the fact that ...

Soushin Shoujo Matoi

For my rating system I did not use the 1-10 scale. I used the 1-5 "The Little Man" Scale. For more information check out my profile.

Story: (2)
Let's start of with the weakest part of the show, which is the story. In general it is a basic light-hearted magic girl story. The main character just one day stumbles into this world of exorcism and needs to learn everything about it before fighting evil.(sound familiar ?)
In each episode they face new monsters to save themself or others, but rather than having a clear set end goal the show is more about the character interactions, their ...

What does living an ordinary life mean to you?
How much of it would you be willing to give up for the sake of protecting it?
Soushin Shoujo Matoi is here to bring us answers to these questions from the perspective of a middle school girl who, as most magical do, accidentaly gets magic powers and is forced to save the world.

And with that one sentence I have pretty much summed up the story of Matoi. Story is not the forte nor is it the focus in the anime. It much more serves as the backdrop and device to keep the characters busy rather than actually being ...

"Being ordinary's is the best!" - Matoi Sumeragi

Matoi just wanted to have a normal life...however this is a magical girl anime, so she becomes an magical girl who exorcises demons.....Oops.

Soushin Shoujo Matoi in the early episodes falls under the "Demons of the Week" a la traditional magical girl anime fair and simultaneously giving character development to our 3 main magical girls of Matoi Sumeragi voiced by Ayaka Suwa, Claris Tonitolus voiced by Hisako Kanemoto and Yuma Kusanagi voiced by Naomi Oozora. Soushin Shoujo Matoi does have a bigger picture outside from all this as well and it does kinda make Matoi herself a somewhat messiah ...

Preliminary (6/12 eps)

I saw the score this anime had recieved and felt inclined to write a review myself.

First of all, out of all the anime's that have come out recently, this is one of the best. It's not the best of all time, but as a generic magical girl anime, this takes the cake.

I'm an incredibly picky anime-watcher, and just the slightest cringe will turn me off an anime. Boring plotlines turn me off as well, which brings us to the story:

Soushin Shoujo Matoi is indeed a generic magical girl anime. BUT. It's not the bad kind. Trust me. In fact, calling it generic would ...

Unlike many magical girl anime, Matoi The Sacred Slayer didn't include magical girls. Instead, it featured exorcist girls- girls that could harness the power of different gods to fight demons.

The beginning of the show felt like it was having an identity crisis. It's almost like the writers tried to include every element they could, and fell flat on their faces. Firstly, it jumped into things way too quickly. I honestly had no idea what was going on. This is normal for many first episodes, but there were a lot of other elements included that distracted me. The first episode tried to include a ...

In order to avoid spoilers, I'll sum things up instead:

The story allowed room for so much simple, generic mahou shojo goodness. What did the series decide to do? Ignore at least half of the things it set up to be done. Which left both loopholes and a lack of theme to prevail. Instead making it super complicated with no resolve to be had.

Like, I could've gotten behind this series. But every time something was set up, my disappointment was rising -- time was running out and nothing seemed to be getting resolved SO MUCH AS TOUCHED AGAIN.

I wasn't even expecting it to ...

The anime has a flew cliches here and there, but overall, the anime is good. The story follows the same cliches like "Friendship saves the day" and such. However, it did make me uncomfortable on the first few episodes due to fan-service. The other cliches are quite fitting for the story.

The art actually caught my eye, which kept me watching throughout the whole series, which not many can do.

Sound on the other hand, was quite good. The voice actors did a good job. 'Plause to them!

Character development is awfully shocking. Not in the bad way, but in the good way. Every character was able ...
