Description
Animaru is a central figure in the story, serving as the catalyst that brings the main human characters together. Animaru is a creature of completely unidentified origin, often described simply as an enigmatic or mysterious animal who possesses the ability to speak the human language. While some sources identify the species as a white cat, others leave the description more broadly as a white, animal-like being.
Animaru originates from the kingdom of Nariadia. This land was once a beautiful and prosperous place, but it fell under an eternal winter after an attack from an Ice Queen. In the midst of this crisis, the prince of Nariadia became trapped in ice. To resolve this disaster and restore the balance of his homeland, which would also affect the human world if left unchecked, Animaru was dispatched to the human realm with a specific mission. This mission was to find and recruit chosen humans who could become Naria Warriors, magical fighters capable of saving Nariadia.
In the human world, Animaru takes on the role of a producer or director of sorts, providing the photography for the main characters activities, which are broadcast on Nico Nico Live. This ties into the series meta-concept of being a user-participation anime. Animaru is the one who selects the three middle school girls Urara, Hanabi, and Inaho to become the magical girls destined to save his world. As their guide and liaison to Nariadia, Animaru works to help them gather the necessary power, which is generated by making people smile and laugh.
The relationships Animaru maintains are primarily with these three girls and the prince of Nariadia. Animaru serves as a link between the human protagonists and the troubled fairy-tale kingdom. The prince of Nariadia is the ruler of Animaru’s home star, and it is for the sake of rescuing this frozen prince that Animaru undertakes the mission to Earth. Regarding the character's development, information indicates that Animaru passes away by the time of the sixth episode, marking a significant event in the narrative. In terms of notable abilities, aside from the extraordinary trait of being a talking animal, Animaru is specifically tasked with and capable of handling the photography for the live broadcasts that form a core part of the series presentation.
