The protagonist of the story is Arusu, who mysteriously enters the world
of the witches. She is marked as a troublemaker when she releases
all the sprites the witches have captured for use as the source of magic
spells. Later in the series, the witches interact with the world of the wizards
as both try to save their worlds from destruction.
Though the name Tweeny Witches, known in Japan as Magical Girl Squad
Arusu (魔法少女隊アルス Mahō Shōjotai Arusu) is
a catchy and appropriate adaptation of the original Japanese title, it may
discourage some anime fans from checking the series out since it strongly
implies a kid-oriented magical girl show. To an extent it is still that, but
only the technicality that the series features preteen girls flying around on
brooms and using magic classifies it as a magical girl series, as otherwise it
falls far from the norms for the genre. It is not overwhelmingly cute, does not
feature sugary-sweet content, has a dramatically different artistic style, and
most significantly, it lacks transformation scenes. In fact, it more resembles
a work of Western animation than any Japanese magical girl series.
