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 |
