A new OVA, Magical Kanan, offers an alternate take on the 2005 TV series Magical Kanan. In this version, the story shifts focus to Natsuki, an agent sent to Earth to retrieve dangerous 'seeds.' He enlists the aid of Chihaya, a middle school student who transforms into Magical Warrior Carmine to fight possessed humans, though Natsuki's mother seems to know more than she lets on.
This OVA presents a distinct narrative branching from the original Magical Kanan, which followed the magical girl Chihaya as she battled threats. While the original series was a 13-episode TV production, this OVA appears to be a self-contained reimagining exploring a different facet of the magical girl premise. It offers fans a chance to see a familiar concept explored with a new cast and a slightly altered plot.
