Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka

On TBS, AT-X

A dark, action-driven deconstruction of the magical girl genre that treats its heroines as traumatized soldiers forced back into combat against cosmic horror.

Due to the invasion of Disas—enigmatic creatures of soil from the land of the dead—mankind, who was on the verge of crisis, was saved by the efforts of magical girls who had obtained a mysterious magical power... Three years later, new incidents suddenly occur, tearing apart the normalcy of the girls who had each returned to their normal lives. The saviours of humanity, those magical girls called "The Magical Five" now live each day fighting for their lives, even as they are trifled with by fate...
