MagiPoka

Or Renkin San-kyuu Magical? Pokaan, which translates (I'm told) to "Third-rate Alchemists Magical (?) Blunders". It's the story of four princesses from the Netherworlds: Pachira, a vampire; Umaa, a witch; Liru, a werewolf (who is very cute in both human and wolf forms); and Aiko... an android.

It is, so far (up to episode three) largely plotless, telling an episodic fish-out-of-water story. The girls have no clue how to behave on Earth, so they make things up as they go along. None of them is particularly bright, either, even Aiko, who is the most level-headed of the group.

It's likeable enough, and if it settles down and develops a story it could be quite good. If not, it will remain a bit of pleasant fluff.

Notes: The opening credits appear to be from a different show with the same characters - unless the story changes a lot. Could just be part of the humour, though. The closing credits change for every episode, and are kind of neat. I'll post some of them shortly.

Liru has four ears. I've seen that before with catgirls, but usually their hair is styled so that you can't see their human ears, which looks far more normal. Having four ears, even cute ones, is kind of weird.

The seiyuu for Pachira is Aya Hirano, who is also the voice of Haruhi-sama! That's some talent she's got there, particularly considering she's just 18.

Oh yes: Umaa's witch hat doesn't have bunny ears. She's wearing a rabbit on her head.
