About Jewelpet Magical Change

Jewelpet Magical Change (ジュエルペット マジカルチェンジ) blends fantasy and mahou shoujo by Studio DEEN (2015). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: The story follows the rabbit-shaped Jewelpet Ruby and the other Jewelpets on their assignment to restore the Jewe Castle, which had fallen from the skies into the middle of the town because of humanity's lack of faith in magic. In order to rekindle human's "magic-believing hearts," Jewelpets transform into humans and come down to earth to study them.

As a fantasy title, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. Voice work is led by Ayaka Saitou as Ruby and Aya Hirano as Garnet.

Think of it as a pick for fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds. At 39 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
