Let’s Mix it Up — Princession Orchestra — First Impressions

I’m watching PriPara.

A bird's eye view of a fairytale world. Subtitles say 'A world that only girls can go to. Alicepia'.

I’m watching Symphogear.

A pink haired woman is seeing her heart out as she pulls back her fist to pummel some sort of black robot thingie (not pictured). The subtitles read 'Countless shining lights, grasp them so they won't be taken'.

I’m watching the combined PriPara/Symphogear (with an added dash of Precure)

A blue haired magical girl, clad in light blue with a rainbow behind her, clasps a magical microphone in one hand, stretching the other out to the viewer. Musical notations float beside her.

Do you need to know more?

Princession Orchestra is a blatant remix, but it works. As in PriPara there’s a magical virtual world only girls (and goats?) can enter, where they can do all sort of things, including live performances. That’s what our protagonist Minamo is doing with her best friend Nacchi, when the performance they’re watching is attacked by black robot like things. But fear not, as they’re soon joined by a very Symphogear like magical girl, with a punch equal to Bikki’s and who also sings as she fights. The very next day is Nacchi’s own live, she always wanted to be an idol, while Minamo is happy enough to just support her. Of course the evil magical robots attack her as well, which triggers something in Minamo and she transforms into a magical girl herself….

What’s not to love?
