Magical Witch Punie-chan
Magical Witch Punie-chan, also known as The Great Magical Gap, is a Japanese manga series. The story revolves around a young woman named Punie Tanaka who is princess of Magical Land. In order for her to become queen, however, she must become a transfer student in a Japanese high school. Due to her potential to become the next ruler, she has many enemies that wish to assassinate her. This proves difficult to them because Punie is both skilled at martial arts and possesses magic powers which she uses to quickly defeat her enemies. The series is a parody of magical princess anime, and often uses the juxtaposition of cute characters with brutal violence for humor. The title is a pun on The Sword of Doom, a 1966 jidaigeki movie. The anime was released in the U.S. on October 21, 2008, by Media Blasters as a subtitled release and was later released with an English dub as well as the original Japanese audio on June 28, 2011, in a special edition.
