Magical Emi, The Magic Star
is a magical girl anime series by Studio Pierrot. It was simultaneously released as a manga by Kiyoko Arai. The third magical girl series created by Studio Pierrot, ''Magical Emi'' also appears in two feature-length OVAs, as well as the '' Adesugata Mahou no Sannin Musume'' and '' Majokko Club Yoningumi A-Kukan Kara no Alien X'' OVAs. Plot Mai Kazuki is from a family of magicians. Her grandparents are leaders of a troupe, Magic Carat, and their daughter — Mai's mother — debuted under them. Naturally, Mai wants to become a magician herself, just like her hero, the fabulous legend Emily Howell. Unfortunately, because she is still a young girl, she is very clumsy and unsure. One day, while helping her grandfather move things, Mai sees a strange light enter an odd, heart-shaped mirror and turn into a mirror fairy named Topo. He takes over the body of her favorite stuffed toy, a flying squirrel doll, and explains that he must give magic to the one who can see him. He ...

Magical Girl
is a subgenre of Japanese fantasy media (including anime, manga, light novels, and live-action media) centered around young girls who possess magical abilities, which they typically use through an ideal alter ego into which they can transform. The genre emerged in 1962 with '' Himitsu no Akko-chan'', followed by ''Sally the Witch'' in 1966 produced by Toei Animation. A wave of similar anime produced by the studio in the 1970s led to being used as a common term for the genre. In the 1980s, the term was largely replaced by "magical girl", reflecting the new popularity of shows produced by other studios, including ''Magical Princess Minky Momo'' and ''Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel''. In the 1990s, ''Sailor Moon'' introduced the concept of a "transforming heroine" who fights against forces of evil, a synthesis of elements from hero shows that became a staple for magical girl series that followed. The growth of late-night anime in the early 2000s led to a demographic shift for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Spades (suit)
Spades form one of the four suits of playing cards in the standard French deck. It is the same shape as the leaf symbol in German-suited cards but looks like a black heart turned upside down with a stalk at its base. It symbolises the pike or halberd, two medieval weapons. In French the suit of Spades is known as the ''Pique'' and in German as the ''Pik''. It corresponds to the suit of Leaves (''Laub'', ''Grün'', ''Schippen'' or, in Bavaria, ''Gras'') in the German suited playing cards. In Switzerland, the suit is known as ''Schuufle'' (" shovel") and in many German regions, e.g. the Rhineland as ''Schüppe/Schippe'' ("shovel"). In Bridge, Spades rank as the highest suit. In Skat and similar games, it is the second-highest suit. Name The French name for this suit, '' pique'' ("pike"), meant, in the 14th century, a weapon formed by an iron spike placed at the end of a pike. For playing cards, the term may have been coined by analogy with the Latin symbol from which it is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Magic Wand
A wand is a thin, light-weight rod that is held with one hand, and is traditionally made of wood, but may also be made of other materials, such as metal or plastic. Long versions of wands are often styled in forms of staves or sceptres, which could have large ornamentation on the top. In modern times, wands are usually associated with stage magic or supernatural magic, but there have been other uses, all stemming from the original meaning as a synonym of rod and virge. A stick that is used for reaching, pointing, drawing in the dirt, and directing other people, is one of the earliest and simplest of tools. History It is possible that wands were used by pre-historic peoples. It is mentioned that 'rods' (as well as rings) were found with Red Lady of Paviland in Britain. It is mentioned by the author in ''Gower - A Guide to Ancient and Historic Monuments on the Gower Peninsula'' that these might have been wands and are depicted as such in a reconstruction drawing of the burial of ...
