Line 6:
Padudu is accompanied by her comanion Uokichi, a fish that she wears as a cloak. She can also use him as an emergency food supply, even though Uokichi is not too happy about that. Padudu bumps into Pipin and Myumyu, with whom she forms an at times uneasy alliance. There is also Nonononn, a former candidate, who appears to have a score to settle with Purulun, Sweetland's rather cruel queen. Add to this Ketchup and Mustard, the inept police officers of Sweetland, plus Zucchini, Queen Purulun's clueless minion, and you have yourself a rather strange bunch of characters indeed.
 
[[Magical Play]] started out as a series of 23 [[Web Animation]] episodes, released in 2001. It's an [[Affectionate Parody]] of the [[Magical Girl]] genre, especially the warrior variety. The character design is by Kiyohiko Azuma, who is better known for his works ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'' and ''[[Yotsuba&!]]''. An [[OVA]] has also been made, using 3D techniques and with a storyline that diverges quite a bit from the original series.
 
Formerly rated as [[Sliding Scale of Anime Obscurity|Level 6 Obscure]], this anime is available on [https://web.archive.org/web/20131101031932/http://www.hulu.com/magical-play Hulu].

* [[Idiot Hero]]: Padudu. Big time.
