It hands you the transformation sequence and then hands the girl a weapon that reeks of blood. Kurumi Azuchimomoyama is fourteen, attends Egaogaoka Middle School, and gets scouted by an "angel" named Devilun, which tells you exactly how straight this show intends to play things. Her title is beautiful magical girl dinosaur angel warrior Prima Angel, words stacked on words until the whole genre buckles under them. The Darkness Whales don't get monster-of-the-week theatrics or a redemption speech, they get indiscriminately taken out. Twenty-five bite-sized episodes means the bit never bloats: setup, punchline, cut to black, repeat until you're laughing at something you probably shouldn't. If you grew up on wands and sparkles and always quietly wondered what happens to the disposable henchmen, Kurumi is the answer you didn't ask for.

Kurumi Azuchimomoyama is an ordinary fourteen-year-old at Egaogaoka Middle School until Devilun, an angel resembling a Tasmanian devil, shows up and gives her the power to become Prima Angel, a beautiful magical girl dinosaur angel warrior. Her task is to battle the wicked Darkness Whales organization. Her arsenal doesn't sparkle or shimmer: she cuts down their members without discrimination using gory, blood-reeking weapons. Oddly, the real protagonists are three boys from her class, who watch the whole affair while doing very little. The result is a comedic take on the magical girl genre.
