■ Main Characters

Although Yuuma is the heroine, she is generally unmotivated, doesn't listen to other people's opinions, and is extremely self-paced. Even though her magic skills are immature (alchemy level 3), she has a troublesome personality where she gets angry when she fails. She is a typical troublemaker.
Pakira: Normally arrogant, but has a weakness for handsome men (because they are high-quality food), and when she sees someone she likes, she puts on multiple cats on her head. A typical Tsundere. As a vampire, she is weak to sunlight, so UV protection is essential. Also, she cannot be seen in mirrors or cameras. Her current concern is that she has small breasts.
Lilu is a big eater, especially when it comes to meat. As she is of wolf bloodline, she transforms into a wolf (dog) when she sees a full moon or anything yellow and round. She is always energetic and will play outside even on rainy days.
・Tetsuko (Aiko)
Because he is shy, he lives his life being pushed around by everyone. He is an android with great strength and weighs over 300kg. His machine specs are low and he cannot keep up with the speed of the world. Furthermore, his memory capacity is low, so any information that exceeds that capacity is stored on media.

Magical Pokan - Level 3 Alchemy - Detailed evaluation and recommendation

"Alchemy Level 3 Magical Pokan" is an original situation comedy anime that was broadcast in 2006, depicting the slapstick antics of four princesses from the demon world who get into the human world. Although they are all different races - a wizard, a vampire, a wolf girl, and an android - they are all ranked "Level 3". This setting forms the humorous tone of the story and provides laughs for the audience.

The appeal of this work lies above all in its unique characters. The main character, Yuuma, leaves a strong impression as a troublemaker who goes at her own pace despite her immature magical skills. Her failures and the resulting anger in her will make viewers sympathize and laugh. Pakira is an arrogant vampire, but the contrast between her personality and her tsundere personality, who has a weakness for handsome men, is appealing. Riru is a werewolf girl who is full of energy and a big eater, and her transformation when she sees a full moon or anything yellow is an interesting setting. Tetsuko is a shy and strong artificial human who has a unique setting in which she stores information on media due to memory capacity issues. The slapstick comedy of everyday life woven by these characters will never bore the viewer.

The story revolves around the girls' first experiences in the human world and the strange commotion that arises from their confusion and misunderstandings. Each episode is independent and easy to enjoy. For example, the first episode depicts everyday events in a humorous way, with Yuuma setting a sweet trap with his first spell, and the fifth episode is themed around swimming in the sea. There are also episodes that give a sense of the seasons, such as the seventh episode themed around the full moon, and the tenth episode themed around snowboarding. These episodes provide viewers with laughter and healing.

The production staff of this work should not be overlooked. Director Kenichi Hachiya skillfully directs the tempo of a situation comedy. Yasunori Ide, who was in charge of series composition and scriptwriting, develops a humorous story that makes the most of the characters' personalities. Yuzo Hirata, who was in charge of character design and general animation director, expresses the cuteness and individuality of the characters. Noriyasu Agematsu (Elements Garden), who was in charge of the music, also provides music that matches the atmosphere of the work. In particular, the opening theme "Oath of Fresh Blood" is impressive with the powerful singing voice of the Fairy Empire, enhancing the world view of the work. The ending theme "Let's do it" series is attractive for its lyrics and melody that reflect the personality of each character.

It was broadcast on TVK, TV Saitama, Chiba TV, Kids Station, and other stations every Tuesday from April 4th to June 20th, 2006. Each episode is 30 minutes long, with a compact structure of 13 episodes in total. This makes it easy for viewers to enjoy. There is also a related work called "Renkin 3-kyu Magical Pokan Bonus Footage," which is a welcome additional content for fans.

"Alchemy Level 3 Magical Pocahn" is a highly polished situational comedy that provides viewers with laughter and healing. The slapstick comedy of the unique characters keeps viewers entertained, and the independence of each episode is also appealing. The skillful direction and music by the production staff also enhance the appeal of the work. Please give it a watch.
