Synopsis by Cammila Collar
This anime TV series, based on the Pretty Sammy OVAs (which were in turn based on the characters of the Tenchi Muyo! franchise) finds young Sasami tasked with becoming a champion of good by a magical queen who must find someone to make the world a better place before she can accept her crown. Sasami is given magical powers and sent on a mission of goodness. A rival for the throne, however, creates her own magical girl, the meddling Pixy Misa, who makes Sasami's job much less easy. Magical Project S is considered by many to be intended more for children than the Pretty Sammy OVAs, but both serve as good-natured spoofs of the "magical gir"l genre, drawing direct and satirical parallels between other popular magical girl series such as Sailor Moon. A highlight of Magical Project S is Sasami battling Biff Standard, who is generally believed to be a parody of Bill Gates.
