Honey’s Highlights

This art style is unique but I am in love with this trailer! They have the big eyes like 12-sai or CLAMP’s works like Cardcaptor Sakura while the action scenes remind me of Birdy The Mighty anime.

They are so cute. This promises definitely to be a good magical girl anime of the fall 2016 anime lineup.

I dunno… this could totally go dark like Madoka Magica. If you read the bio, it is vague enough that it does not confirm a pure upbeat magical girl Cardcaptor Sakura-esque anime.

......

Bee-kun you suck.

Synopsis

I wonder how you see the world?

Two heroines hold the key to open the door: Papika and Cocona. These two girls meet, and their adventures in Pure Illusion, a different time and space, begins. Whilst searching Pure Illusion for the Mimi no Kakera, a mysterious crystal that will grant their wishes, many difficulties block their path. When danger approaches, the Mimi no Kakera shines and the girls transform.

Three Episode Impression

Every episode of this series is a delicacy; both visual- and story-wise. Flip Flappers is everything you have watched in other Mahou Shoujo shows, but somehow it feels like such an original idea. The way they narrate the story of Papika and Kokona feels kind of like we’re being told a tale from a magical bedtime story, and it is inevitable to think that this series wasn't inspired by the adventures of Alice in Wonderland. As of now, the series has three outstanding points; first one being Papika’s eccentric and pure personality. She has a charisma that will surely brighten up your day. Second, there’s the change in genre that you will experience in each episode; every world comes with a different narrative, so you could say that it has a bit of everything for everyone. Last, there’s the vivid and changing art of each episode as well as the unmistakeable character design, who together with some wacky characters, create an unforgettable anime that you will remember for years on end.
