A self-proclaimed "no-genre band," Mahoshojo ni naritai is dripping with nerd-core goodness. With a sound straight out of an old-school video game, the synth backdrop and effected vocals make you feel like you're adventuring with Zelda or defeating evil mages in Final Fantasty I. Even navigating their OHP feels like a video game. Check them out after the break.
