This is a bit of a weird 'series'. It's about 25 minutes long, in four 'episodes'.
It is excellent. It is about the shortest magical girl story you could possibly have. It has everything a magical girl anime needs: a transformation sequence, a cute mascot, a mysterious pretty boy, and a normal, clumsy girl who risks everything to protect her friends and try to tell him that he's not alone.
And it's good enough that it makes me tear up a little bit at the climax.
I love it, for being a story that is able to tell itself so quickly and so elegantly. If you've ever wanted a reminder that you are not alone in the world, that someone else has seen what you've seen, take a half hour and watch Afterschool Pleiades.
