I've run this adventure twice now and it's been an absolute blast both times. I am not a huge fan of magical girl anime myself, but my players were, and the author has done a great job of creating a space where fans can dig into the beloved tropes of the genre. We even enjoyed the way the adventure started in the middle of the "season," with the characters already established. It's like tuning into a mid-season episode of a great show!

As a personal preference, I would have liked more concrete info regarding the Academy that characters are part of- departments, lessons, traditions and the like. I understand this is a bit of a balancing act, though, as it being more vague allows it to fit into a number of different settings.

That said, I have to give it a 5/5 if only because one of my players STILL asks when we're doing an Arcane Moon campaign. If another adventure comes out in this series, I'm buying it!

This adventure does a lot to capture the essence and feeling of a magical girl anime and condense it into an experience that could be a lot of fun if you're playing with other fans of the genre.

I did have a little trouble parsing through the information to identify key points at times, but despite that it is evident that the designer clearly understands the tropes and themes of the genre and has worked hard to include as much of that in the adventure as possible, even adding "For a more magical girl feel" sidebars offering DM advice on how to present key scenes.

As a fellow anime fan looking to add more of that energy to my D&D games, I would definitely recommend it!

The tone of this adventure is spot on for the genre, and it’s definitely worth a read, especially if you have other “Magical Girl” content to go with it. My only complaints are (for a ready-to-go adventure), I would have loved to have seen some flavorful magical girl abilities, and unique legendary actions for the bad guys to make the combat feel as fleshed out as the plot. That said, this adventure is well worth the price of admission.
