This show manages the impressive feat of applying a [[Lighter and Softer]] tone to a pseudo-series that was ''already'' pretty light and soft to begin with. In this case, it cut the [[Refuge in Audacity]] style of parody in favor of more [[Fantastic Comedy]] [[Dom Com]] style. Washu still has some shades of her pseudo-[[Ax Crazy]] characterization, but it gets considerably toned down after her introduction. Because of this, the series most likely won't appeal to people that were expecting a continuation of the parody style, but for those that want a magical girl show of the more traditional kind, this is as good as any.

Sasami: Magical Girls Club is a re-imagining of the 1996 Affectionate Parody Pretty Sammy series as a 2006 cookie-cutter Magical Girl Anime of the Cute Witch variety.

Sasami Iwakura is a young girl with magical powers of a telekinetic type that her parents forbid her from using. This has lead to her feeling isolated due to a belief of herself as some sort of freak. One day, she goes to the newly-formed cooking club headed by Washu, a rather eccentric teacher that starts the club off by faking an attempt to kill her pet. After some hilarity, it turns out that the cooking club is a front for the magical girls club, with Sasami and Misao as the first members. Through this club, they meet more awakening magical girls and discover a Masquerade involving a magical world.

This show manages the impressive feat of applying a Lighter and Softer tone to a pseudo-series that was already pretty light and soft to begin with. In this case, it cut the Refuge in Audacity style of parody in favor of more Fantastic Comedy Dom Com style. Washu still has some shades of her pseudo-Ax Crazy characterization, but it gets considerably toned down after her introduction. Because of this, the series most likely won't appeal to people that were expecting a continuation of the parody style, but for those that want a magical girl show of the more traditional kind, this is as good as any.
