Man, I could have TOLD you that you were gonna hate Raising Project. It's becoming super clear that it's not your kind of show.

It got onto my list somehow, probably after I watched Madoka and was asking about magical girls. Also it would be annoying if I was in here asking people about a new anime every few days so I don't know how to avoid this.

Anyway, I'm curious which of my prior opinions made you think I wouldn't like it. I loved Yuki Yuna, and Madoka was good too. I also thought it sounded neat, like Battle Royale with magical girls. It... was kind of like that I guess, but BR handled characterization and deaths a million times better. Just one example of what I'm talking about: Literally the first time Top Speed said she wanted to live at least six months I was like "Oh so you're pregnant and you're going to die in the first real battle you two face and then it'll pan down and show your stomach, alright" but MGRP thought this was just the greatest idea ever so they had her repeat the line over and over, had Ripple consider what the line meant, had a long scene with her husband where they "cleverly" hid her waist, and then when the most predictable thing in the world happened and it panned down to show she was pregnant I literally sighed. The idea of a girl being pregnant in this situation isn't bad but that execution was just... bleh. I think it would've been better if she revealed her pregnancy to the other girls while asking to be left alone. Then they would've needed to grapple with potentially needing to kill a pregnant girl in this murder game (and Swim-Swim ultimately being the one to not give a fuck might've had more of a punch). While I'd still expect her to die I wouldn't have guessed the why and how so easily. MGRP was full of stuff like this.
