A viral, popular social network game known as the "Magical Girl Raising Project" has the capability to grant players a 1-in-10,000 chance of becoming a real-life magical girl. Each of the magical girls possesses unique skills and special abilities and earns Magical Candies by protecting people and performing good deeds. However, at some point, the administration decided that sixteen magical girls in a certain city were too many, announcing they would cut the number in half by having the magical girl with the fewest Magical Candies each week lose their powers. As the rules of the game get out of control, the girls eventually find themselves dragged into a twisted life-or-death battle against each other.

While playing a mobile game known as Magical Girl Raising Project on her smartphone, Koyuki Himekawa, a middle school girl who loves magical girls, is chosen by the mascot character, Fav, to become a real magical girl known as Snow White. As Snow White uses her ability to hear people in danger and help them, she uses her Magical Phone to talk to the other magical girls residing in N-City. The following evening, Snow White is called out by one of these girls, La Pucelle, who reveals herself to be her male childhood friend, Souta Kishibe, and forms a partnership with her. The next day, Fav informs everyone that he plans to reduce the number of magical girls in the city down from sixteen to eight.

Reluctantly accepting these new rules, magical girls Ripple and Top Speed recall their encounter with the dangerous outlaw Calamity Mary. Meanwhile, as Snow White continues her duties with La Pucelle, she speaks online with Nemurin, a magical girl who can enter dreams.

Meanwhile, Snow White and La Pucelle, along with robot girl Magicaloid 44, are contacted by Sister Nana and Weiss Winterprison, who reveal from a conversation log between Fav and Cranberry the Forest Musician that magical girls allegedly die when they lose their powers. As Magicaloid relays this to Mary, suggesting that they join forces, the Peaky Twins Minael and Yunael rope in dog girl Tama into helping increase their rankings with a promotional video. Eventually, all the girls learn from Fav about what will happen if they drop out, confirming that Nemurin had died as a result. As Snow White is torn over what the right thing to do is, an update is added allowing the girls to exchange Magical Candies with each other. Taking this to mean that magical girls can now steal candies from each other, Ruler tasks her followers with stealing candies from Snow White.

It is revealed that Swim Swim, having been influenced by Nemurin when she visited her dream, conspired with the Peaky Twins to betray Ruler and become their new leader. Meanwhile, as Top Speed and Ripple meet up with Nana and Winterprison, another magical girl is searching for a white magical girl.

Nana suggests to the others that they work together to find a way to stop the cruel system, but Ripple seems unwilling to co-operate. Nana then turns to Magicaloid, who had secretly been using her for monetary gain by supplying her with useless gadgets from the future which she wanted to use to make Weiss into a magical girl, offering her more money in exchange for negotiating with the admins. Nana and Winterprison are then called out by Cranberry, who reveals she is perfectly happy with the current nature of the game and launches an attack against them. Weiss fights using her earth magic, along with Nana's enhancement magic, but is overwhelmed by Cranberry's ability to manipulate soundwaves, which forces them to retreat. The next evening, as Nana and Winterprison meet the most recent magical girl, Hardgore Alice, who goes off in search of Snow White, La Pucelle is confronted by Cranberry.

Overwhelmed by Cranberry's strength, La Pucelle is brutally beaten before being thrown in front of an oncoming vehicle and killed. Although Fav announces this to be an accident, a slip of tongue causes Snow White to realize that La Pucelle was in fact murdered. Fav also announces a set of first-come first-served items, which girls pay for in exchange for taking years off of their lifespan, that are quickly sold out before Snow White can buy one for herself. Just then, Snow White is approached by Alice, who is instantly beheaded by Magicaloid under orders from Mary. Before she can kill Snow White, however, Magicaloid is herself killed by Alice, who somehow managed to survive her beheading.

Meanwhile, Mary, having learned about Magicaloid's death, goes to confront Alice, quickly discovering she has powerful strength and regenerative abilities. Despite using various methods to try and kill her, Mary finds that Alice has still somehow managed to survive following Fav's report. Later, Snow White once again comes across Alice, who reveals she wanted her to have the Rabbit's Foot, while Winterprison and Nana go to meet with Swim Swim's group.

The next evening, Mary, who sets out to try and kill Ripple and Top Speed, begins killing innocent civilians on the highway in order to prevent their escape.

Sneaking up from below, Ripple manages to kill Mary with a shuriken to the head, only for Swim Swim to suddenly appear and kill Top Speed as well. After Swim Swim escapes, Ripple is saddened to discover that Top Speed was pregnant with a child. Meanwhile, as Snow White and Alice are briefly confronted by Minael and Tama while trying to help out civilians, Nana hangs herself over the loss of Winterprison. Despite the number of magical girls in the city being reduced below the planned eight as a result of all the deaths, Fav announces that there are now plans to further reduce this number down to four.

In her final moments, Alice calls out to Snow White, thanking her for giving her a reason to live and leaving her with the Lucky Rabbit's Foot before passing away. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Cranberry and Fav arranged the death match as a selection exam to recruit magical girls for the Land of Magic. Later, Swim Swim prepares to confront Cranberry, who thwarts an ambush attempt from the others, injuring Tama and killing Minael.

Upon becoming distracted from discovering that Swim Swim is actually an elementary child, Cranberry is killed by Tama after she hits her with her hole-creation ability. However, Swim Swim then suddenly kills Tama for discovering her identity, after which Fav labels her the new role of Master. Sometime later, Snow White meets with Ripple, who is determined to kill Swim Swim in order to avenge Top Speed. Although Snow White tries to reason with Ripple not to become a murderer, Fav spurs her on by telling her Swim Swim's weakness and declaring the game won't end until two magical girls are left standing.
12"File not found"December 17, 2016 (2016-12-17)
As Ripple goes to confront Swim Swim, Fav informs Snow White that he is actually a scout for the Magical Girl Recruitment and Training Project, where successful magical girls are either recruited into the World of Magic or made into a Master to oversee the next exam. He further reveals that he intentionally riled up Ripple and Swim Swim, whom he feels wouldn't make suitable Masters, so they would kill each other, wanting Snow White to be his new Master instead. Learning that it was because of Fav's malfunction that everyone had to kill each other, Snow White breaks her magical terminal and rushes to try and stop Ripple and Swim Swim. While losing an eye and an arm, Ripple manages to knock out Swim Swim with a flash grenade, killing her in her civilian form before passing out. Arriving at the scene too late, Snow White attempts to destroy the Master Terminal, which Fav gloats can't be destroyed so easily. Thanks to Snow White's Rabbit's Foot, however, Ripple manages to regain consciousness and uses Swim Swim's magical weapon to destroy the terminal, along with Fav. Six months later, Snow White trains with Ripple to become a stronger magical girl who can help others around the world.

No.TitleOriginal release date
1"Hallo Daisy"
Transliteration: "Harodeiji" (Japanese: ハローデイジー)		October 6, 2026 (2026-10-06)
Pechika—real name: Chika Tatehara—is a magical girl who uses her cute appearance and food-producing magic to impress her crush, Ninomiya. However, she is suddenly teleported to a desert and attacked by skeletons as part of a "tutorial". Fortunately, another magical girl, Akane, saves her, only to then interrogate her about a "musician", though she ultimately lets Pechika go and leaves. Afterward, Pechika wanders the desert until she stumbles upon three more magical girls: Claintail, Rionetta, and Nonako Miyokata. While Pechika tries to stay hidden, the three spot and capture her. Meanwhile, popular magical girl Magical Daisy—real name: Kiku Yakumo—lives as a broke college student when she is also teleported into the tutorial, which she beats. Akane then attacks Daisy but leaves after concluding Daisy isn't her target. Afterward, Daisy encounters three other magical girls, Nokko, Genopsyko Yumenoshima, and @Meow-Meow, before receiving a message about a "support command". Concurrently, three more magical girls, Pfle, Shadow Gale, and Masked Wonder, complete the tutorial, with Pfle deducing they are in a video game. Elsewhere, the magical girl Keek watches a video of Snow White and asserts to her fairy, Fal, that magical girls chosen through combat shouldn't exist.
2"The Players"
Transliteration: "Pureiyā-tachi" (Japanese: プレイヤー達)		October 12, 2026 (2026-10-12)
When Daisy, Nokko, Genopsyko, and @Meow-Meow activate the support command, Fal appears and claims they have been chosen to test a magical girl training simulator and will receive 10,000,000 yen for beating it. Meanwhile, Pechika, Claintail, Rionetta, and Nonako get the same explanation and, although Pechika wants out, the others agree to beta-test for the prize money, making Pechika their final party member. Elsewhere, Pfle, Shadow Gale, and Masked Wonder unlock a new area. After Pfle leaves to buy a monster manual, Masked Wonder asks Shadow Gale about their relationship, since they already knew each other before the game, prompting Shadow Gale to explain that she is Pfle's butler. The two are then attacked by magical girl Cherna Mouse, who claims the new area for her team, though Cherna's teammates, Lapis Lazuline and Melville, appear and help defuse the situation. Back with Daisy's party, they enter the new area and get confronted by a new enemy: a red skeleton. Daisy shoots it with her magic—a laser—but the enemy reflects it back, killing her. Although Fal claimed that in-game damage doesn't carry over into real life, Nokko, Genopsyko, and @Meow-Meow are disturbed when Daisy's corpse doesn't despawn.

Previews

The anime adaptation's first episode garnered generally positive reviews from Anime News Network's staff during the Fall 2016 season previews. Paul Jensen saw potential in this being a good series, highlighting the early character setup of Koyuki and the mobile game mechanics being used as a possible critique of the "dark and bloody approach" that magical girl shows took in recent memory. Jacob Chapman criticized the "laughable tone obfuscation and pregnant pacing", and that viewers will be aware of where the series is heading towards but commended Koyuki for being a "generally likable" heroine and the stylishly diverse cast of magical girls, concluding that this Madoka Magica imitation carries potential entertainment value. Theron Martin praised the decent animation, character aesthetics and the perverse intrigue of a blood-soaked magical girl competition but criticized the producers for stringing viewers with said promise shown in the opening. Nick Creamer praised the thoughtful introduction of its ensemble cast, the "grounded but funny approach" it takes with magical girls and the solid production having consistent and colorful animation, saying it's an engaging start that has him hooked to follow more episodes. Rebecca Silverman saw the obvious influences to Madoka and was optimistic of the show moving towards similar series like Nurse Angel Ririka SOS and Kamikaze Kaitō Jeanne in later episodes but felt it will go into the "presumed subversion of making magical girls into a violent murderfest" foreshadowed in the opening.

Series

Fellow ANN editor Amy McNulty placed Magical Girl Raising Project at number two on her top 5 best anime list of 2016, praising the contrast of "primal brutality with the cutesy art style" and the various ways the female ensemble approach the grisly game, concluding that: "While the series largely gets by on spectacle and shock value, many of its key players—good and bad—are flawed, complex, and sympathetic, and their respective backstories and motivations run the gamut from "downright silly" to "genuinely moving."" Martin reviewed the home video release in 2020 and gave it a B− grade, praising the magical girls for their varied outfits and diversity amongst its cast, the overall plot having decent story twists and action set pieces, but was critical of the tonal inconsistencies throughout the series.
