I see it now FS at various places from $7-$17. The shows are mastered in mpeg, so they are Region-free. It really is an enjoyable, fast-moving, quirky show, full of sly self-referential humor about the mahou shoujo genre, but also having a flavor of its own. The DVDs play on my laptop without problems, and while the subtitles are Engrishy, they are perfectly serviceable. The most egregious problem is that the text of notes and signs are not translated. Also, "Sasami-san" gets rendered "Mr. Sasami" about half the time. But if you understand social Japanese, as most anime watchers do, you won't have a problem. It's just nice to have access to the series after hearing a lot about it. Here's hoping Season 2 follows soon.

Amitabu sucked out the Keura's evil energies into himself and then combined with him. Itoki was then going to seal them up again, but Sasami stopped her, saying that Ami-chan/Keura only knew sadness, so she wanted to share her warmth with him. Her kiss made him envision the warmth from everyone from magic land (he didn't go on a trip). In the end, Amitabu/Keura was in a sleep form, but in Sasami's house. In addition, I thought the other 5 magic girls were handled well. They were sent to keep the girls from interfering, and thought they sealed them in the world of darkness. They said that only Sasami's light magic could let them escape. But Misao and the others showed that they could summon the same light magic just by thinking about Sasami. As they leave, their leader says that she wanted to share such a light magic also. They eventually figured out the error of their ways and went back to the human world and started going to school again. The ending wasn't as dramatic as I was expecting, but it was satisfactory.
