Speaking of child-like imagination, one of my personal favorites of the year was this modern take on a classic 80s magical girl anime.
MAGICAL ANGEL CREAMY MAMI AND THE SPOILED PRINCESS (Mahou no Tenshi Creamy Mami: Fukigen no Ohime-sama), based on the original series by Studio Pierrot with art by Emi Mitsuki. First published in 2018 and first published in North America in 2021.
PLOT:
For years, Ayumi Megumi has been the star idol of Parthenon Productions. Her position is challenged when a mysterious new girl known only as Creamy Mami makes her debut. Megumi is not about to take this challenge to her fame lying down, but how can she counter someone who seems so positively magical?
