3	''Tokyo Magic Star'' is a {{fanime}} created by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/kawaiiouija247?feature=watch kawaiiouija247]] on Website/YouTube. It follows Sakura, a girl who has dreamed of being an idol ever since she was a kid. When she and her sorta-friend Umi audition for an idol group called Mahoshi, and get accepted, it looks like her dreams will become reality. But a rival agency plans to fill the world with despair using their own idols, and the trio Mahoshi is ''actually'' meant to combat this, as magical girls!

9	!!''Tokyo Magic Star'' provides examples of the following tropes:
10
11	* AnimationBump: The episodes gradually improve, and look ''amazing'' in more recent installments. The artwork gets better and more detailed, too.
12	* AnimeThemeSong: The opening and endings, and a few insert songs.
13	* ArtEvolution: Hand in hand with AnimationBump; the first episodes look very simplistic, almost chibi-like, and as it goes on the character models become more complicated, with more lines and details to them.
14	* BodyHorror: Our BigBad appears to have cracks all over her skin. A few more form ''while she's talking.''
15	%% * BreakTheCutie
16	* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: "Mahou Change! Star -insert name here-!"
17	%% * CallingYourAttacks
18	* CerebusRetcon: The ''genre of the entire series'' went from StealthParody to straight up MagicalGirl horror.
19	%% * CherryBlossomGirl
20	* DarkerAndEdgier: Minor example in episode 2, with a nighttime conversation suddenly getting eerie, quiet music as a DarkMagicalGirl with a distorted voice stalking the terrified girls appears... But then the series itself starts doing this from episode 3 onwards.
21	* DarkMagicalGirl: Risako
22	* {{Deconstruction}}: Of a typical magical girl show.
23	* EeriePaleskinnedBrunette: Half our villains are this, including the BigBad.
24	* {{Expy}}: Umi looks and acts a lot like [[Manga/TokyoMewMew Mint/Corina]]. Given the StealthParody the show started as, it's likely intentional.
25	* EyeScream: Episode 4; Sakura attacks a villain with magic. Seems standard for MagicalGirl... until it makes ''his eyes bleed.'' In the next episode, when we see him his eyes are bandaged.
26	%% * GratuitousJapanese: "Mahoshi!"
27	%% * IJustWantToBeNormal
28	* JumpScare: The third OP will be this, if you're not expecting it. [[spoiler:The girls are ''screaming.'']]
29	* [[LateForSchool Late for Practice]]: Episode 2
30	* LimitedAnimation: Early episodes had a lot of this, with a lot of still shots and two repeating frames for a lot of movement.
31	%% * MagicalGirl
32	%% * MagicalGirlWarrior
33	%% * MagicIdolSinger
34	%% * NoblewomansLaugh: Umi
35	%% * OfficialCouple: Kinny and Chinner, via Word Of God.
36	* ShoutOut: Possibly? Episode 2 has Sakura say [[Anime/SonicX "I gotta go fast!"]]
37	** Umi herself seems to be a shout-out to [[Manga/TokyoMewMew Mint Aizawa]].
38	* StealthParody: By the creator's admission, the show started at this, before evolving into a more serious project.
39	* TechnicolorEyes: Sakura has pink eyes
40	* TemptingFate: "Well, [the battle] hasn't taken any drastic turns ''yet'', has it?"
41	%% * {{Tsundere}}: Umi is a Type A
42	* TheUndead: The villains seem to be some form of this...
43	--> '''Umi:''' You not even ''alive,'' are you?
44	%% * VoiceOfTheLegion: All the villains.
45	* WhamEpisode: Episode 5. [[spoiler:The villains come from ''Hell itself,'' and the girls aren't just warriors, but ''blood sacrifices'' as well.]]
46	%% * YouHaveToBelieveMe
