Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Arusu (Sachiko Kojima) is an 11-year-old girl who has a thing for the occult and is especially obsessed with witches and magic, thanks to a book given to her for her fifth birthday by her Disappeared Dad, Jidan (Atsuki Tani). When some bullies try to steal her book, a mishap sends her falling literally into the Magical Realm. Almost immediately, she meets Sheila (Houko Kuwashima) and Eva (Ryō Hirohashi), two apprentice witches who are close to her age.Delighted as she is to be in the Magical Realm, she is less than delighted at how their society is run. Everyone is certainly not overjoyed at the reality of magic, while she believes magic should be used to make people happy. More disturbing to her is how the witches capture fairies and keep them behind bars for their use in spells. When she releases all the captive fairies back into the wild, the Grand Master of Witches (Ryoko Kinomiya) punishes Sheila and Eva with the Curse of Eternal Youth, leaving her bound in duty to join them on their quest to recapture the fairies and break her new friends' curse.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As she becomes more familiar with magic and her new friends, she learns more about her new world and its extremely dark underbelly — in particular, the war between the witches and their enemies, Grande (Joji Nakata) and his faction of warlocks, who seem intent on tearing everything apart and are also very interested in that book of hers...Certainly one of the darker takes on the Magical Girl genre, Tweeny Witches (魔法少女隊アルス, Maho Shôjo Tai Arusu, translated as Magical Girl Squad Arusu) is a 2004 anime created by Keita Amemiya and produced by Studio 4°C. The series aired within Tensai Bit-kun on NHK Educational TV from April 9, 2004, to March 4, 2005, with a 6-episode OVA spin-off titled Tweeny Witches: The Adventures released on November 22, 2007.A manga adaptation by Mai Jinna, titled Mahō Shōjo Tai Arusu: Minarai Majo Kōza (Lessons For Apprentice Witches), was serialized on two pages in Shogakukan's shoujo magazine Ciao from the May 2004 issue to the March 2005 issue.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })In September 2011, Fuji Shōji released a pachinko machine titled Magical Slot Mahō Shōjo Tai Arusu.In North America, Media Blasters released the TV series and The Adventures in 2008 and 2009 respectively, both dubbed and subbed. Both the TV series and The Adventures are available in Italian on YouTube here.For two anime/manga series with similar art-style, premise, and themes, see Soul Eater and Little Witch Academia. Not to be confused with Tweenies.

Subverted. Although only the witches appear over the first 10 episodes, the Warlock Realm does have its share of magic-users in the form of the wizards, a Dying Race of magic-using warlocks.

comment
Cute Witch: All three witches in the picture. Witches in general are also this, with a few exceptions. Of course, the series is a Darker and Edgier take on the genre, with the Witch society having some less-than-wholesome practices and the warlocks being A Nazi by Any Other Name.

 Tweeny Witches / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: While idealistic, the series is a darker and mature take on the Cute Witch genre as a whole. It begins as a Slice of Life with some drama about a group of young apprentice witches, only to take a much darker turn once Sigma makes a proper introduction with the group embroiled in the war between the witches and warlocks, as well as the destruction of the Magical Realm. The warlocks from Wizard Kingdom bring an aura of sheer brutality and menace never before seen, with their invasion of the Witch Realm, their manipulations, their ethnic cleansing campaign against their traditional counterparts known as the wizards, their disposal of whoever has outlived their usefulness, their plan to destroy the Human Realm through dark magic in hopes of making a new home for them to escape the destruction of the Magical Realm, their long imprisonment of a human, their use of hostages, and their propaganda to create a common enemy. In the Grand Finale, Grande turns Eva into the unwilling caster of dark magic, which feeds on The Power of Hate to destroy everything with people driven to cross the Despair Event Horizon. On top of that, the characters deal with animal rights issues, eugenics, traditionalism, abandonment issues, loss of a loved one, military dictatorship, Maligned Mixed Marriage, and betrayal, the first four of which appear even before Cerebus Syndrome kicks in.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Tweeny Witches / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Sigma offers Sheila a chance to leave the world together, telling her that he knows they're not that different. The way he talks makes it look like he's making a Love Confession for her. The witch evaluation banishes those who cannot use magic at 16 to the Human Realm, where they marry into humans. Furthermore, "Lennon's True Identity" reveals that it's against tradition for a witch to marry a human if she can use magic. This is an obvious parallel with the eugenics movement, which believes "flawed" people need to be removed from the human gene pool.

 Tweeny Witches / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The promo trailer looked awesome and got a lot of people excited about the series. Thing is, that was actually a mini-pilot and not an actual trailer. The trailer for episodes 9 and 10 shows a witch with a pumpkin head getting imprisoned and exiled to the Human Realm for not casting magic. However, in the actual episodes, Qoo almost gets exiled to the Human Realm for her inability to cast magic.

Great Escape: Sigma, in an attempt to escape prison with his cellmate, Jidan, asks Tiana for a job to redeem himself for his failure, suggesting that the warlocks take Jidan hostage to demand the True Book of Spells from the human's daughter, Arusu. As further Laser-Guided Karma for his betrayal and manipulation of Arusu and her friends, Tiana mockingly refuses to let him out, reminding him that no one gives their traitor a second chance. However, he ends up escaping with his cellmate anyway.

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism
 Tweeny Witches / int_372bc105
comment
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: The series weigh both ends of the spectrum but ultimately comes to idealistic conclusions. Arusu believes in magic, happiness, freedom, The Power of Friendship, and determination even though the Magical Realm is full of ordinary problems. Sheila believes in depending on herself alone due to her Dark and Troubled Past and tells Arusu that they must fight the warlocks because they want to fight, though Sheila gradually becomes more idealistic near the end of the series. When it's revealed that the Magical Realm is dying, the contrasts between idealism and cynicism become clear; Arusu tries to save the realm with the legendary magic of light, Luca believes in dark magic as the only way to save his people, Sheila and Eva decide to do everything they can no matter what, Atelia tries to distract her people from the truth to keep the weakening peace in her realm, Grande plans to destroy the Human Realm with dark magic to make a new home for his species, and Lennon tells Arusu that nothing matters in such a situation. In the Grand Finale, when Eva has gone insane with the power of dark magic, Arusu reminds her of how their friendship began with a chestnut, by which she manages to use the legendary magic of light to stop The End of the World as We Know It and destroy the magic of darkness fueled by hate, distrust, and despair.

Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains: Inverted. Arusu and her friends wear sleeveless black minidresses, with Arusu only in a tank top and pants before she gets a Significant Wardrobe Shift as part of her Going Native. Atelia is a veteran of the raid on Wizard Kingdom to retrieve the True Book of Spells, where she wore a skin-tight, sleeveless minidress and Zettai Ryouiki. The antagonists, on the other hand, cover a lot of skin in varying degrees: The special task force spend the first half of the series wearing black cloaks. They get a Significant Wardrobe Shift, with Nerabu, Barunn, and Biris in a metal armor, a pink dress with a red cape, a grey low-cut dress respectively. However, the last one still covers much than Arusu and her friends. The warlocks cover much, including the villainous ones. Sigma shows only his face and hair with his white-and-black suit, though he turns out to be Good All Along. Grande, Tiana, and Luca only show their faces with their white-and-gold suits. The Faceless Goons of both the military and the police show no skin at all.

Spell Book: The True Book of Spells is the only book to list every spell a witch can use, as well as one of the items the warlocks need to cast dark magic. Before it goes missing, it enables Arusu to use magic without using a fairy's body part. Her father gave it to her for her 5th birthday even though it should've been impossible for an ordinary human like him to own something of magical origin that the grand master states had been stolen 14 years ago.

When Sheila finds out about it, the apprentice witch calls out the sage on her lack of pride as one of the Three Sages. The sage replies that anyone would want to live no matter what magic or pride if they find out about the destruction. Downplayed because the sage collapses before she can go on board a ship for the other realm.

Mystical Plague: As the light of the Sanctuary is fading away, a nameless disease begins to afflict the witches, leaving its victims powerless and bedridden. It's implied that the warlocks are falling to the disease as well, as evidenced by the scene in "" where a sick warlock is briefly seen using a ventilator on his bed. In the Grand Finale, some of its victims are seen fully recovering after Arusu stops The End of the World as We Know It with the magic of light.

Gender-Restricted Ability: Subverted. Although only the witches appear over the first 10 episodes, the Warlock Realm does have its share of magic-users in the form of the wizards, a Dying Race of magic-using warlocks. It's explicitly stated that only a witch who has darkness in her heart can use dark magic with all the 100 fairy species and the True Book of Spells.

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: As a child, Arusu learned from her Disappeared Dad, Jidan, that anyone can use magic as long as they believe with all their heart. It is heavily implied that The Idealist Was Right, judging by the fact that the inept witches on the Ludens finally manage to fly on brooms in the belief that they might be able to use magic because even a human girl like Arusu can do it.

Magic Versus Science
 Tweeny Witches / int_511728ae
comment
Magic Versus Science: As Eva explains to Arusu in "Witches' Tradition", it's the custom among the witches to go to the Warlock Realm if they've been unable to get an official post. Meanwhile, in the Warlock Realm, the military government force the magic-using wizards of the old order to live in Miche Village ever since the foundation of Wizard Kingdom. It seems that this split has stagnated the three groups: the technology used by the witches hasn't really advanced past the dirigible, and while it appears that Wizard Kingdom is a man-made underground cavern of plenty, the military dictatorship of the warlocks uses their technology for Bread and Circuses, oppression, and war. In the Grand Finale, the three groups get back together to rebuild the Magical Realm.

The warlocks cover much, including the villainous ones. Sigma shows only his face and hair with his white-and-black suit, though he turns out to be Good All Along. Grande, Tiana, and Luca only show their faces with their white-and-gold suits. The Faceless Goons of both the military and the police show no skin at all.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: In episode 15, after he shot a warlock soldier to save Eva, Sigma sends a red signal to the soldier. In episode 16, he sends the same red signal to a white creature the warlock army rides on. It's implied that he manipulated not only the heroes, but also the warlock army for his own ends. As soon as Atelia declares a full-scale war with the warlocks, the special task force is seen moving presumably to fight the warlocks that are invading the chapel in the Witch Realm. As Grande makes a speech about his solution for the destruction of the Magical Realm, a sick warlock is briefly seen using a ventilator on his bed.

The Power of Hate
 Tweeny Witches / int_6a6760fa
comment
The Power of Hate: Dark magic takes shape from hate, distrust, and despair, hence why the caster needs darkness in her heart, as well as the True Book of Spells and each one of the 100 fairy species. In a Continuity Nod to the myth told in "The Warlock Sigma" that the power of all creatures that have been released from their cages would awaken Satan from his eternal seal by the Creator, the Grand Master of Witches describes its activation as the awakening of hatred sealed away in the Japanese dub, before warning her subjects to fight with innocence since showing their hatred only makes it stronger.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality: All of the major characters are female since the story mainly takes place in the Witch Realm. The three main characters are Arusu, an idealistic Genki Girl who becomes an apprentice witch; Sheila, a Defrosting Ice Queen Broken Bird; and Eva, a Classical Anti-Hero with Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold. Even the most important male characters—including Jidan, the Disappeared Dad and Greater-Scope Paragon of Arusu; Sigma, the Enigmatic Minion from Wizard Kingdom; Grande, the Glorious Leader of the warlocks; and Lennon, a mysterious pirate who claims to be the mirror of Arusu—stay strictly in supporting roles.

Crystal Dragon Jesus: Judging from what is shown in the series, the religion of the witches and warlocks looks like Christianity. The Witch Realm has a large chapel, where Atelia arranges a meeting of all her people. According to Atelia, the Book of Prophecies tells the story of how a witch known as a savior created the Magical Realm with the legendary magic of light. At the beginning of "The Warlock Sigma", Sigma's father is seen foretelling the coming of a savior right after he tells another warlock that it's forbidden to awaken Satan from his eternal seal by the Creator.

Our Mages Are Different: Witches and wizards are a mix of Race and Scholars: they are born with the ability to use magic and have to learn how to control it through study. Arusu initially seems to be a mere Gadget User empowered by the True Book of Spells, but she turns out to be a Lottery Winner as she becomes a powerful witch through study despite her human origins.

Apocalypse How
 Tweeny Witches / int_91e894b4
comment
Apocalypse How: Due to the overexploitation of magical and scientific resources, the destruction of the Magical Realm is approaching. As Sigma's father foretold, Arusu prevents it with the magic of light. Grande plans to destroy the Human Realm through dark magic in hopes of making a new home for his species to escape the eventual destruction of the Magical Realm. Jestor in "The Secret of Dragon House" created a program to destroy the Witch Realm. Although he planned to destroy the Warlock Realm as well, apparently he died before he could complete his work.

comment
Black Magic: Dark magic is a forbidden spell that requires the True Book of Spells, each one of the 100 fairy species, and a witch to destroy everything and to drive every living thing to despair. It derives its powers from hate, distrust, and despair, hence why the caster needs to have darkness in her heart. Grande seeks to destroy the Human Realm with it in hopes of making a new home for his species to escape the eventual destruction of the Magical Realm. In the Grand Finale, as foretold by Sigma's father, Arusu dispels dark magic with the magic of light.

Feminist Fantasy
 Tweeny Witches / int_9f74002a
comment
Feminist Fantasy: Tweeny Witches is a hauntingly beautiful dark fantasy primarily driven by a diverse cast of women. The entire cast is varied in both their personalities and appearances, with some being stunningly beautiful and some being plain. The main trio of young apprentice witches, as well as Atelia, prove themselves to be brave, resourceful, and independent without waiting for a man to rescue them. Their femininity, or lack thereof, is not shown as a bad thing, as Arusu and Sheila are not shamed for their gender-nonconforming aspects while Eva and Atelia have moments where they demonstrate Silk Hiding Steel. Instead, their characterizations are built around something that is sensibly related to the plot, such as having low self-esteem because of the inability to cast magic. Meanwhile, the cold, emotionless, Always Male warlocks are the villains of the series, who cause untold destruction, and are eventually soundly defeated by the ingenuity and kindness of the heroines.

Satan: Satan is mentioned by two unnamed warlocks who appear at the beginning of "The Warlock Sigma". One foretells that the only way to save people who have been deprived of sunlight is by awakening the sleeping Satan with the power of all creatures released from their cages. Sigma's father opposes the idea, saying that it is forbidden to do so because their Creator sealed Satan away forever. Judging from the context, they seem to be talking about how the warlocks need all the 100 fairy species to cast dark magic, which they believe would save them from The End of the World as We Know It once activated.

Internal Reveal: While the audience knows from the start that Arusu is human, Sheila, Eva, Obecitus, and Magna assume her to be an apprentice witch. However, she proves herself to be really human with a chestnut because it is not native in the Magical Realm. While the audience knows from the start that all the captive fairies had escaped, everyone except Arusu, Sheila, Eva, wardens, and the leadership of the witches does not know this. However, after the angry hydra attacks an entire town in episodes 9 and 10, the warlocks find out it. In episodes 13 and 14, a bunch of young witches including Sae and Hata finds out it, being arrested for discovering a top secret.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Invoked. Sheila sends an asleep Arusu on the Ludens, a ship for the Human Realm, to spare her from the destruction of the Magical Realm. Credelle decides to escape to the Human Realm to spare herself from the destruction of the Magical Realm. When Sheila finds out about it, the apprentice witch calls out the sage on her lack of pride as one of the Three Sages. The sage replies that anyone would want to live no matter what magic or pride if they find out about the destruction. Downplayed because the sage collapses before she can go on board a ship for the other realm. When the special task force invade Dragon Palatium to take over the Witch Realm, Mileth and Miletis run away from the castle because who will win doesn't matter to them.

Red Herring
 Tweeny Witches / int_dbca2c99
comment
Red Herring: It's hinted that Arusu may be the long-lost daughter of Atelia due to how they both have long red nails. This is Jossed, however, when it's confirmed that Jidan went to the Interdimensional Sea with young Lennon and the True Book of Spells 14 years ago, meaning that the 11-year-old Arusu cannot be the daughter of Atelia. Barunn, Nerabu, and Biris are suspected by Sheila of having been chosen by the warlocks to cast dark magic because they side with Grande. Then it turns out that another witch is the real traitor.

Despair Event Horizon: As the Grand Master of Witches explains, dark magic takes away the will of every living thing to rebuild and even their hopes. It takes Arusu casting the magic of light to bring hope back to them.

No Antagonist: The conflict in "The Magical Girls Squad Transformed into Fish!" from The Adventures is about the heads of Arusu, Sheila, and Eva being transformed into fish and their attempt to reverse it. They are trying to keep people from finding and laughing at them, but that's the extent of their antagonism.

Goroawase Number
 Tweeny Witches / int_e23cfd5c
comment
Goroawase Number: Arusu and later some witches use one of these to cast magic, as opposed to the traditional way which uses Greek numerals instead. The English dub replaces them with direct translations of puns. For example: 0141963215 (a spell for hallucinogenic magic) becomes "oishii kuromitsu ichigo". 80588109696 (a spell for petrification magic) becomes "yamagoya hairegu rokkunrōru".

 Tweeny Witches / int_e794cb54
comment
Powered by a Forsaken Child: The Witch Realm enslave fairies and use their body parts as the source of magic. Grande uses Eva as the source of dark magic. The forsaken child part is justified — only a witch who has darkness in her heart can use dark magic.

Same Race Means Related: During the second half of the TV series, Arusu finds out that there are other humans in the Magical Realm. They are Lennon, who is revealed to be her half-brother; and Jidan, their father who has been imprisoned in Wizard Kingdom for the last 6 years.

Dark Secret: The leadership of the witches hides the fact that all the captive fairies had escaped from the public. However, after an angry hydra attacks the Witch Realm in episodes 9 and 10, the warlocks discover about it. In episodes 13 and 14, some young witches including Sae and Hata finds out it, being arrested for discovering the top secret.

Prophecies Are Always Right
 Tweeny Witches / int_f9636192
comment
Prophecies Are Always Right: There are two conflicting prophecies; one tells that only awakening the sleeping Satan with the creatures freed from the cages would save the people deprived of sunlight, while the other tells that a savior is coming to save the Magical Realm. The finale reveals that they're both right — Eva performing dark magic enables the savior (Arusu) to save the day with the magic of light.

The Power of Friendship: Arusu thought this and The Power of Love saved her and Sheila from dying of "deadly grey". Of course, the "disease" was not real in the first place. Arusu performs the magic of light and saves Eva by feeding her a chestnut, reminding her of their first meeting.
