Padudu is a 12-year-old apprentice witch, chosen to represent her town in the coliseum. Donning her magical fish costume, which keeps her warm and fed, she sets off on her journey. But on the way she's swept away by a river to Dance Valley. Mayor Koffy captures her and throws her into the dungeon, hoping to eliminate the competition for Dance Valley's own coliseum candidate. Luckily for Padudu, this dungeon holds the mysterious witch Nonononn. They join together in a magical fight for survival. At the end of Blue Gender Trailer, the Magical witchland word came out!

Where it came from
Magical Play is a series of Original Net Animation episodes released by Starchild Records in 2001. Developed during the burgeoning era of internet-distributed anime, the series was designed to showcase a lighthearted, parody-heavy approach to the magical girl genre. The production leaned into meta-humor and experimental delivery, reflecting the studio's interest in exploring unconventional distribution methods for niche creative projects.
The character designs and animation style were created to emphasize a vibrant, expressive aesthetic that stood out in the early digital landscape. By blending traditional tropes with a self-aware comedic tone, the creative team sought to appeal to a growing online audience of animation enthusiasts. The series is often remembered as a curious relic of its time, capturing the playful and speculative spirit of early 21st-century digital experimentation in Japanese media.
