Stella no Mahou/Magic of Stella is a show about a girl who joins a game development club on her first day of school, and with her only drawing experience being taken from hot-blooded shounen manga, has to draw art for a spin-off of their previous game. It follows the story of frustrated teenage doujin game developers who have no idea what they're doing, including a scenario writer who's ashamed of her embarrassing self-insert story, a composer with a lack of spatial awareness who spends all day getting frustrated at her compositions, and a programmer who has no idea how to talk to human beings, as well as the main character's friend, an artist obsessed with BL.



Why should I watch this show?
The first episode isn't amazing since it's mostly set-up, but episode 2 is out and I thought it was funny enough to make me a fan! If my opinion doesn't convince you, here are some beautiful webms

This show is such a sleeper hit. It looks really unassuming and at first glance you'd think it's just trying to follow New Game!'s footsteps but even just the first episode draws you in. I can really relate to their struggle as an artist, like being embarrassed of your own work or worrying about finding your own style. Also the jokes are complete knockouts and they come out of nowhere, I love it.

This anime was announced back in January, and the manga actually started before New Game's did, so it makes me kind of sad people think this :(

Especially since most of the Japanese people I talked to about it seemed to see this as a continuation of the trend of making stuff about doujin culture, where New Game was looked at more as "moe Shirobako but games instead of anime".

I really like that running joke of music girl playing random sound effects, they always catch me off guard. Those explosions had me really confused.

Yeah surprising that we're only halfway trough, are they gonna make another game?

At least they could have set up their laptop to demo the game or something, that shouldn't take time.

This show owns and Shii is my spirit animal. The entire second half of episode 5 is basically a documentary. Making games is hard.

The mother of the third mitsudomoe triplet is cool and probably accurate to stay-at-home programmers with her fridge full of energy drinks and what look to be some sort of food.

I'm no translator, but here's what I can make out. Comments in ()

Honda:
SNS Illustrator
E: Sketchbook
* Enthusiasm
* Papa love! (Specifically, ぱぱにとどけ/Papa ni todoke! A difficult phrase to translate, could be either reporting back to dad, telling dad to take care of himself, or that you love him)
* "Cool old guy" manga collector

Shiina:
SNS Programmer
E: Programming manual
* Communication
* I don't actually know what I'm doing
* Leadership

Aya:
SNS Scenario Writer
E: Small terminal
* Indie/doujin experience
* Embarrassing history
* Family care

Kayo:
SNS Sound designer
E: Headphones
* Music
* Sound design
* Concentration

Yumine:
Perverted girl (ふじょし/fujoshi)
E: BL filter (Yeah, that's the word. It's written in katakana, フィルター/"firutaa". I'm not sure what a filter has to do with this, but hey)
* Doodling/Oekaki
* Addiction (I'm having trouble recognizing the first character, not sure if it's supposed to represent 加けざん or かけざん or ガけざん or what)
* Thoughtful friend

It's 掛け算, multiplication. Because the pairings in fan works are usually written like "Name1 x Name2".

BL filter means something more like she can BL in anything (see: Turning Girls episode 2). Similar to yuri goggles

Considering that Yumine looks at her girl friends through a BL filter, I'm pretty sure we've already seen.
