This one is among my most favorite anime series. Nowadays I don't really care for enemy-of-the-week scenarios, but it's not so bad when it's not all that serious to begin with. There's a good balance between comedy and drama with this one, or at least that's what I think. It's fairly memorable overall, with certain moments being more so than others, and Pixy Misa remains as one of the most stand-out characters that I know of.
I give it an eight.
It has been awhile, but I've seen all of Magical Project S season 1, I've seen all of the Sammy OAV, ditto the Sammy Special that was in the original Tenchi OAV. In point of fact I still have the Sammy and Mihoshi Specials.
It was ok I guess... It actually is not bad once you factor it was meant to parody Magical girl shows.
On the other hand... the Pioneer U.S. release I felt was botched... They released it subtitled... which for anime is certainly not an issue in and of itself... but they rated it for ages 3 on up... Few U.S. born 3 year olds come to mind that could watch a Japanese anime subtitled and comprehend it.
