Oh haha, no it's not! I really like octopods/octopi so it was me being "cute" and making a pun. |

I dont think HxH had any magic in it. They use some other form of energy that is clearly not magic that can be called: vigor, inner essence, or spiritual strength. Near as I can describe it, its similar to "ki" from the DBZ franchise where the character use it to launch energy balls.

Apparently I need more than 5 choices to pick my favorites from 1998. Trigun was one of the most important things in my life, Cowboy Bebop is a show I'm always happy to revisit. The DevilLady is my favorite horror anime and I watched Geobreeders a LOT. Master Keaton is one of the best characters/adult anime ever made and Blue Submarine No. 6, dated CGI notwithstanding, is also one that I really like a lot. Princess Nine is one of my favorite "sports" animes, too. Furthermore, Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight/Welcome to Lodoss Island doesn't get enough love.

Gasaraki, Trigun and Bubblegum Crisis 2040. Cowboy Bebop will be number 1 so it won't miss my vote.

Ayumu of "Is This a Zombie?" could fall under this column's list. That is, transforming with a magical girl outfit.

Odd transformation? Ryo-ohki from "Tenchi Muyo!" Goes from cute little Cabbit to a crystalline Space Ship. Odder than that? Turns into a pink mecha in "Tokyo".

I guess the Utena car isn't thought of as a traditional transformation sequence, but it absolutely is. And it's the best.

Wasn't able to get into my ANN account for awhile. For some reason, I can't log in with FireFox, but I *can* get in with Edge. So go figure.
As far as "Bizarre Magical Transformations" go, here's another: anime#1067 Not your typical magical girl transformation. |

Hahaha so I saw the column title and immediately thought "Becky better be on here!" that sequence was so bizarre! I've put the disc in to show friends many, many times.

agreed. though i am more surprised that neliel's transformation let alone yourichi's transformation isnt on this list! i mean transforming from a talking cat into a uber naked lady have to be on the most bizarre transformations. same with neliel! those two should be on this list instead of Gon's transformation! am i wrong?
that is more than true BUT, that transformation is due to advanced science of washu. not magical powers! tenchi transformations or those three goddess sisters (washu , tsunami and tokimi) are another story entirely! |

Gon's isn't quite a magical transformation....it's just his body aging to keep up with the nen as per the hold he put on himself. It's not even far off to say he'll look like that when he grows up (minus the hair), kinda like little Yugi Moto

Other bizarre magical* transformations would be Sōji from "Gonna be the Twin-Tail!!":
anime#16132 And Senō from "Kämpfer": anime#10861 * In the sense that any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic. Gender-bender, and other magical transformations also occur in "Ranma ½": anime#64 |
