The newly announced cast members are:

Picture this: You’re cozying up on your couch, ready to dive into the latest anime craze, but wait, there’s more! Akihiro Ononaka’s ‘Gushing Over Magical Girls’ anime doesn’t just come in one flavor – it’s served in three tantalizing versions!

First up, we’ve got the TV broadcast version, where they’ve got the audio and visuals under lock and key, keeping things PG for the kiddos. Then, there’s the ‘gushing’ version on streaming services, where they’ve got the audio censored and just a tease of visual excitement. But hold onto your hats, folks, because there’s an ‘ultra-gushing’ version on Blu-ray Disc and DVD that’s so uncensored, it’ll make your head spin faster than a magical girl transformation sequence!

Manga/Synopsis

Gushing over Magical Girls is based on the manga by Akihiro Ononaka, which debuted on Takeshobo’s Storia Dash website in 2019. Nine tankoubon volumes have been released as of March 2023.

J-Novel Club describes the manga’s synopsis as: 

Hi, I’m Hiiragi Utena. I’m a normal magical-girl-loving middle school girl—or at least I was, but then some talking mascot showed up out of the blue and cast a spell on me! Now’s my chance to join my beloved magical girls as…a villain? Hang on, something’s wrong with my outfit! This can’t be happening! Watch this shy magical-girl fan transform into a sadistic dominatrix! When good and evil collide, who will be the one to submit?!

Get ready to gush, giggle, and gasp as these magical girls take centre stage in the most gush-worthy anime of the season!”
