ArtisWitch (First Episode included in rest of this note)
(Story: There is a rumor doing the rounds in Harajuku: somewhere in the back streets of Ura-Harajuku, a witch and her mysterious shop serve those whose wishes have gone unheard, giving them an opportunity to unlock their hearts' greatest desires.
Believing this to be an ideal arrangement, the proud apprentice witch Nina strives to fulfill her customers' wishes while her power and influence grow accordingly. However, not all wishes are meant to come true—and not all of them lead to a happy ending. As Nina is compelled to peer deeper into the human psyche, she soon discovers the dark side of a witch's obligations, and her ambitions begin to clash with her wish to comfort the entire world.

(Genre: Slice-of-Life, Supernatural)
(Released 2021; ONA; 6 episodes; TV-14)
(Notes: Okay. The episodes are really short and the series is super short but in that short time; I'd say the experience was worth it. I know CGI anime is usually not well-liked but give this one a shot. You can tell they tried to put effort into it. The music is great. I love the designs and the ideas amd plot are creative. ArtisWitch is a collaboration project between Sunrise and Japanese talent agency AsobiSystem that features Harajuku art, fashion, and music. And y'know, Sunrise is the same anime studio behind Cowboy Bebop, Gintama, Code Geass, Love Live, Inuyasha and a few other iconic anime. Oh, and you can find ArtisWitch's episodes on YouTube along with music videos and PVs for the series. It's alot of fun. And Ruru and Haruka are best girls sorry. We also adore Akihiro in this household lmao. But Nina is great too I can't deciiiide and the FASHION oh my lord i can't stop gushing about this showww. I'd also call this Magical Girl adjacent. Sorry. It's the law. I say it counts. lmao. There's so much more that can be done with this one. I wish there was more of it if only for the characters alone. I'd love to see a 2D animated interpretation but it looks good as it is too. And also, the Artiswitch YouTube channel itself has some other cool things in it too. The other music videos are so pretty and well done too! So maybe check that out as well. The characters; the messages, etc. This series, franchise, whatever it is; it needs more love. And the episodes are so short so...lemme just put the first episode below the PV down here for y'all if you're interested! And a few PVs for a Music Video project they did awhile back! Be sure to check out the channel if you want more!) Read Note

Daily Obscure/Underrated Anime Recommendations Number Seventy
Sorcerous Stabber Orphen (1998)
(Story: Six years ago at the magic school known as the Tower of Fang, a grave accident happened involving the magical sword Baltanders and the magic user Azalie. Unable to control the sword's power, Azalie was transformed into the shape of a great dragon who since that day became known as Bloody August. Krilancelo, a young magician at the Tower who cared greatly for Azalie found much to his disgust that the elders of the Tower of Fang were less than willing to save Azalie and wanted rather to pretend the accident never happened. Angered by their stand, Krilanceloa swore that he would find a way to return Azalie to her former self. Thus he forsook the name Krilancelo and declared himself Orphen, leaving the Tower and his magical studies behind to wander the world...)
(Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Sword and Sorcery)
(Released 1998; 24 episodes; TV-14)
(Notes: Why is the OP song so funky? The ending song is super good too. Gosh dang. I can't believe i said 'gosh dang' unironically. Crying rn. Anyway, this is an enjoyable little show. Not gonna break any new ground but for what it is, it's fun. It aired on Adult Swim before. But people don't talk about it or even mention it really but i am. Orphen has drip, that's all im saying. Oh and steer clear of the 2020 reboot of this show. It isn't as good. And again, the retro anime art style always slaps. At least in my opinion.) Read Note
