Synopsis:

Sally, recently crowned ruler of a realm interwoven with human society, finds her duties overshadowed by urgent news from her home planet. Driven by concern for her Earthbound companions, she defies royal decree to journey to their world. Her arrival, marked by an unintentional display of magic, necessitates a difficult choice: the erasure of her friends' memories to protect them from the implications of her power.

Now stranded on Earth, Sally dedicates herself to rebuilding those lost connections, striving to rekindle the friendships she fractured. The series explores themes of responsibility, cultural understanding, and the delicate balance between two worlds. It follows Sally as she navigates a new reality, balancing her royal obligations with the personal mission of supporting those in need, while grappling with the consequences of her actions. This reimagining offers a fresh perspective on familiar concepts, focusing on character-driven narrative within a world where magic and humanity intersect.

I assume everyone is already familiar with the series, premise and characters and what makes them great when it comes to Mahoutsukai Sally as this is the reboot/sequel series. So I'll be talking about what stands out when compared to the original series. Firstly the most noticeable difference is the art, the original series had the 60s art and animation where the movement was emphasised at points. This series on the other hand shares the 80s darker visual atmosphere with softer character design and overall strokes are smoother. I'd say that the darker visual atmosphere is visually better looking though the characters have different emphasiswhen compared to original. I wouldn't call that bad or good necessarily its just different.nnNow the voice acting definitely is not as good as it was in the original Sally in particular feeling lot more soft and matured as far as her voice is concerned, the cheeky vibe is also toned down and her voice has this kind vibe instead. I enjoyed the og interpretation of her character more personally but the new one is not bad necessarily it's just different. Same kind of changes can be observed from other characters too though those changes didn't impact me as much.nnIt is not just the voice that was toned down feels like Sally as a character was kinda toned down, her magic was not as all powerful as in og some new rules were introduced in this series which I think made the concept of magic that was interesting in the original series not as interesting in this series. Though overall I'd say that it didn't impact my enjoyment much as the interaction between characters and the character dynamics that made the original series one of my favorites didn't change that much considering that Sally and some others felt bit toned down.nnOverall ompared to the original series I'd say that it is visually impressive series with great visual atmosphere doing those aspects arguably better than the original, but falling bit short on some other areas.
