Magical Circle Guru Guru

Mahoujin Guruguru targets a mature young audience and incorporates sporadic blunt humor and subtle references that could potentially shock Western parents. It is a spoof of initial role-playing games, particularly the turn-based ones like Final Fantasy. The voiceover artist replaces character dialogue with a spoken narrative common in such games, which constitutes one of the comedic aspects of the show. Frequently, RPG-style information boxes are showcased on the screen, supplemented by narration in the established RPG format. Nike and Kukuri, the lead protagonists’ ultimate aim, is to overthrow Giri, the leader of the dark forces.
