"Magical Girl Friendship Squad" follows a pair of women who are stuck between saving the world and just trying to make ends meet. A little red panda named Nut arrives in the apartment of two directionless women and bestows upon them powers to save the world. However, Alex and Daisy are polar opposites -- one is trying to catch a career break, while the other is a passionate slacker with a love of pop culture. The two must get their lives in line to be able to save the world from otherworldly threats.

Heather Hogan Autostraddle 10/08/2020
Despite its name, the series is kind of light on magical girl lore, but it definitely delivers on the friendship squad part. And it provides some acerbic and knowing giggles during a time when laughter isn't that easy to come by. Go to Full Review Shannon Miller AV Club 09/25/2020
B-
Even with its occasionally dated quips, the charm of its cast and the faintest promise of adventure bring some promise to a show that still manages to entertain. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 10/13/2020
3/5
It's clear that the show has something to say about both female-centered anime and the treatment of women in general -- and it's something anime fans might appreciate hearing. Go to Full Review Sam Stone CBR 09/28/2020
Magical Girl Friendship Squad kicks off TZGZ with the sharp-tongued wit and 20-something relatability that Syfy is likely aiming for while punching evil directly in the face for good measure. Go to Full Review Jesse Schedeen IGN Movies 09/28/2020
8/10
The animation style also works in its favor. MGFS strikes a balance between the irreverent style of most adult-oriented animated sitcoms and a more flamboyant and expressive anime style. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/24/2021 Seriously, it is not even funny as dark humour or something, It is almost at the level of GURO HENTAI. If you find this entertaiment I seriously recommend you visit a mental institution. See more 12/29/2020 If you're a fan of magical girl satire, she-ra, lgbtq+ shows, that quippy doesn't take itself too seriously millennial energy then this is the show for you. I actually wish the episodes were a lot longer because a bit of the story seems rushed because of it and you miss a lot of the really funny background elements of you aren't looking. Also it's nice to see an animated show that speaks so much to women's humor (just as a response to the critics who say period jokes aren't funny, they're funny to the right kind of people) So you do have to be the right type of person to like this show but if you are, you might just love it. See more 12/16/2020 No......just no. The animation is horrible, the jokes are just bad and cringey, oh and they use period jokes. I really don't know how that's funny. See more 10/18/2020 though ill admit this only lasts 15 minutes there is enough humor in those minutes to last a lifetime there is heart comedy and just flat out weirdness but you have to love it my favorite character is the annoying big mouthed cat i highly recommend it to anyone brave enough to take some content cause there is profanity and sex See more 10/14/2020 Syfy has fallen so far See more Read all reviews
