What happened to magical girls?

edginess killed them

Late Night /= Sat Morning
Mothing changed other than the late night genre growing and Precure becoming a constant. CCS was also an exception to the rule and we even got more CCS since this art was made.
Dominic Powell
Still airing every week.

The biggest difference as far as magical girls for kids goes is that the Pretty Cure franchise pretty much eats all the space. It's a new show every year and airing all year round, but it pretty much seems to make another magical girl anime series actually focused on girls unpractical.
Then you have late night "magical girl" shows aimed at an older male audience and obviously they're generally very different from the morning ones.
Charles Long
Precure is shit
Carter Cox
CCS has soul.
Madoka is soulless.
Ayden Anderson
Nothing. You just want to pretend you know shit when you've only ever watched the most mainstream bollocks and nothing else.
Kayden Ward
I see what you did there
Xavier Cooper
Nice one
Noah Morales
Precure has the greatest development potential
Juan Campbell
Why's she scared, she's got a card that can erase people, megucas can't do shit about that one.
Daniel Morris
Robert Rivera
Supposedly they still exist, but to me they just look like they are exclusively for toddlers, not like the classics with an appeal to an older audience like Doremi and Sailor Moon and Precure.
There is still Precure too though, but other than that my impression is that it's really childish.
It may also be interesting to look at idol shows, they may have stolen some of the audience of mahou shoujo.
Pretty Rhythm employed many of the stereotypical mahou shoujo traits, you may even argue that mahou shoujo evolved into becoming idol shows.
Connor Morales
Wasteful and depressing audiences
Nicholas Ortiz
Vivio the cutest magical girl.
Ian Clark
.
Jeremiah Gonzalez
HOEEEE
Oliver Lewis
sakura is fun, has charming characters and a timeless atmosphere
madoka is literally evangelion for people too young to know about evangelion
John Watson
I like you Sakura. You're cute.
Gavin Morgan
>phone poster calling other people young
Interdasting.
Nathaniel Nelson
are you autistic?
Landon Torres
Jack Cooper
can I like both edgy and regular or must I pick a side
Cooper Lee
Dunno about OP but I like both.
Dominic Bennett
Madoka isn't edgy anyway, Yea Forums just likes to call anything slightly dark edgy.
Carter Bailey
People like edgy things
Christopher Cruz
Was going to watch Doremi Sharp but apparently there's a resub being done right now that isn't finished yet so I'll probably wait for that. Probably going to start Precure soon (if I can get myself set up to watch another ~50 episode series after recently finishing the first season of Doremi).
Madoka was fine but from what I've seen of some other shows they're taking it way too far in that direction. Even Madoka though is really a one and done thing. I wouldn't want more of something like that and it's better if it's unique. Magical girl shows aimed at a more adult audience is an interesting idea and could be cool if done right but a lot of them seem to have less maturity than fucking Doremi, which is aimed at children.
Gabriel Flores
Friendly reminder that the VA for Precure Black was the same girl that followed Kamen Rider Black around.
Grayson Green
I liked your doujin where you were everyones pet.
Ryan Cook
Brandon Roberts
People who like magical girls are similar to bronies.
Aiden Clark
The genre isn't for little girls anymore.
People just likes realistic dark scenario rather than sugar rainbow, so they could see those magical girls suffer likes they are in real life
Jaxon Jackson
how so?
Andrew Long
You know, I don't really pay attention to the music when I watch Precure (outside of the OPs, EDs and sometimes the henshin themes) but this is some GOOD shit.
Still mad. That should have been Regina in Ace's place, dang it.
Christian Bell
used to written for girls (romance, sensual fucked up sexual fantasies)
now written for boys (all female casts, muh purity, and fanservice)
Eli Peterson
>friendship is magic
Tyler Peterson
>anything that includes friends making someone more powerful is mlp
am I being baited?
Angel Sullivan
Could Sakura defeat all the madoka cast in a standard fight?
1 v 1 or all in once, how could she do it?
Cooper Butler
yes
Jeremiah Young
power level threads are for single digit iq posters
Alexander Mitchell
The become magical milfs.
Wyatt Mitchell
Madoka. Fucking Madoka has the genre in a coma.
Juan Murphy
MLP is a Western magical girl show.
Carson Scott
Nothing. Everyone just focuses on the wrong ones.
Ethan Collins
precure airs every week and we've got at least one new magical girl series starting this upcoming season
teenage/transitionary males like edgy things. like madoka, made in abyss, and re:zero. literal garbage but that's a large demographic so it does very well.
Nicholas Russell
They either became martial fighters or villains or both. Not a bad thing, really
Ryder Barnes
twin angel is good overlooked magical girl for men stuff, literal patchislot ads. if you like parody, akin to moetan or kagumi-chan. has some big swing plot twists too.
Ryder Torres
I don't have issues with Madoka per se, although I think it has its problems, but it's when a show hits MS Site or MS Asuka's levels of edge and torture porn that can no longer take it seriously.
Sebastian Stewart
MLP would be great if the characters were cute girls. the species of the characters makes an enormous difference.
Grayson Hernandez
Are there anything other than precure? I know they try to jump start sailormoon again but I think cgi killed it.
Justin Powell
Nanoha unless you're counting edgy as any sort of dark things whatsoever
Noah Davis
Tomoyo is a lesbian and uses the videos she keeps shooting of you for masturbation aids.
Caleb Green
You say that the week Star Twinkle is on break
Nicholas Gomez
Mahou Shoujo, who is still alive, only has Precure and Madoka
Since the bankruptcy of Nanoha's anime studio, Seven Arcs was acquired by TBS, resulting in Nanoha anime in the state of vegetative
Nolan Gonzalez
>masturbates to videos featuring Sakura capturing kuro kaados and wearing cute dresses
Tomoyo is literally Yea Forumsnon.
Samuel Powell
Nanoha had sex with a man canonically, which is why it failed.
Kayden Brown
they got better
Aaron Collins
I prefer the ones where she gets addicted to anal and sticks bigger and bigger things up her ass.
Zachary Ward
>girls
>sensual fucked up sexual fantasies
????
John Jenkins
Juan Reyes
Precure's music style is like the children's version of Shonen anime music
Juan Walker
they have a spinoff show where they are human if that's what you're after
he doesnt know
Parker Mitchell
>Rewrote the fucking universe with ai yo
Jayden Allen
Pretty ironic they try to scare Sakura when she could literally delete all of them if she wanted to.
Ryder Cox
Have you ever seen a "My show could beat up your show" pic that wasn't fucking reared
Cooper Torres
No matter how handsome she is, Fate is still a woman.
Samuel Butler
Yes, but outside Devil Homu and Madokami, the regular Megukas aren't that tough. That said, I'd bet Homura takes down Sakura. Yes, Sakura can time stop, but not as easily as Homura, and she isn't nearly ruthless enough to actually exploit her other advantages. Sakura just doesn't have the mentality needed to take out another magical girl.
Lincoln Ramirez
Sakura's purity would turn Homura into Tomoyo.
Nathaniel Adams
>tfw a Granny is the one who actually shows what a magical girl should be to the modern era audience
Samuel Bell
That'd probably be the main thing, yeah. Homura would kill and sacrifice every single other Meguca, citizen, and herself, if it meant she could save Madoka
Homura is already pure. The pureness of her love gave her the power to fight against fate and save Madoka
David Parker
>granny becomes a magical girl
>doesn't immediately seek out the nearest throbbing cock to sit on
unrealistic desu
Landon James
Edgy dykes can't be pure.
Landon Perez
Where may I read such fine literature?
Levi Sanchez
Sakura is such a friend for allowing this.
Bentley Phillips
>Edgy
She was devoted and practical. She gave up on Sayaka and Mami because they're unstable and constantly messed things up. Through Ai yo, she saved Madoka from her own Martyr complex.
>dyke
Her love is the purest form of love.
Carter Hernandez
What a pure, cute maiden.
Gavin Moore
They got better.
Brandon Green
>homuniggers
Henry Bennett
Angel Rogers
Homufriends.
Ian Jackson
>stopping the guy who just wanted to change all girls into lolis
dropped
Elijah Cook
Flip Flappers, Princess Tutu, Tokyo Mew Mew, Pretear, Shugo Chara, Mermaid Melody, Cutie Honey
Non-traditional: Kill A Kill, Magical Girl Ore, and Magical Girl Ore
Julian Brown
>Magical Girl Ore, and Magical Girl Ore
Hmm.
Grayson Reyes
>Homufags
Justin Wilson
While I agree, I think Madoka can't or shouldn't be held accountable for the lustful grab for fame that followed its success (whether monetarily or in terms of becoming popular). That's like blaming Sailor Moon (or the like) for popularizing the magical girl genre. Madoka simply started the deconstructionist-magical girl genre. And the trend society has taken this trend so far has been dog shit.
Nicholas Ortiz
Kevin Mitchell
He needed to be taken down. He should have been turning all the girls and boys into lolis.
William Carter
This.
What show(s) do you feel don't get enough love in the magical girl genre? Mine is Princess Tutu
Brody Martin
Joshua Sanchez
Jubei-chan
Ian Watson
Underrated classic but it's getting more attention though.
Colton Morgan
Oops, my bad. I pasted over Panty & Stocking. Thanks, user.
Dylan Edwards
I hope so! I want some more merch, goddammit.
Cameron Mitchell
1) What concepts would you like to see in more magical girl shows?
For example:
>magical boys
>past-prime or older magical girls
>What happens when a mahou is no longer needed & how do they live their life afterward?
2) What would you like to see from a proper deconstruction of the magical girl genre?
Ryan Perez
>>What happens when a mahou is no longer needed & how do they live their life afterward?
According to PreCure, the answer is procreation.
Cameron Lopez
Precure has used all of these concepts
>magical boys
Hugtto, HeartCatch have magical boys
>past-prime or older magical girls
HeartCatch has an elderly precure
Andrew Thomas
1. I want to see magical girl becomes god
2. I want to see magical girl using their own lifespan as their magical power source. Young girls are tricked into becoming magical girls. There is a bigger conspiracy out there.
Isaiah Green
We've had god become a magical girl.
Anthony Gonzalez
if the roof caved in, would anything of value be lost?
Juan Sullivan
> What happens when a mahou is no longer needed & how do they live their life afterward?
A show about finding purpose in life after the evil guys are defeated. The group breaks up and each member struggles on their own. During the show only one of them manages to fit back into society, one completely falls into depression, the other one commits to fight normal criminals, but eventually bites more than she can chew. Another member gets into /pol/-tier ideas and tries to form an underground party to overthrow the government. The first member kids inherit their mothers magical abilities and start to fight the other ex-mahou shoujos and everything gets even more fucked up.
Dylan Davis
The second one was done by Mahou Shoujo Site but the whole show was kinda shit.
Luke Gutierrez
There will be 30,000 people dying
Adrian Wilson
Hijacked by autistic manchildren, which unsurprisingly resulted in more infantile shows that the ones expressly made for little girls.
Hunter Torres
turn it on it's head and you're golden.
Samuel Rodriguez
Does Symphogear count?
Jordan Perez
>Utena
YEEEUCK
Liam Martin
Isekai killed them
Alexander Cook
>magical girls get transported to our world
>one night while trying to have some fun and getting some snack some thugs approach them
>the thugs had knifes and where threatening to rape them
>so they did what they'd do in that situation back home they killed them
>but unlike back home you can't just kill someone in self defense then forget about it
>and go to the hotspring with your friends
>they ended up getting arrested and going to prison which is where the story begins
would you fund it
Xavier Green
Seething Madotards.
Josiah Morales
But isekai can have magical girls.
Jason Garcia
In what world are you not allowed to kill somebody if they threaten your life with a knife?
Gabriel Morris
This one, depending on the context and courts and bullshit.
John Turner
But what if thug dindu nufffin?
Gabriel Bennett

Jack Gray
Utena is not a Magical Girl show.
Kevin Rivera
>police
>capable of arresting mahou shoujo
Liam Clark
Deconstruction ruins every genera
Nolan Miller
>2. I want to see magical girl using their own lifespan as their magical power source. Young girls are tricked into becoming magical girls. There is a bigger conspiracy out there.
Aren't you just recapping the plot of Mahou Shoujo Site?
Ayden Hill
>past-prime or older magical girls
Magical OL.
Grayson Bell
how is that user a phoneposter
Blake Campbell
They ded
Parker Howard
>Madoka is the best mahou shoujo!
>Madoka ruined the mahou shoujo genre!
Well, which is it?
Carson Morgan
Neither.
James Harris
Both are true.
It is best mahou shoujo.
But it is so good that anything else pales in comparison.
Dominic Baker
Don't worry, you'll have enough niggers soon that you'll need stronger self defense laws.
Angel Martinez
After the emergence of madoka, the Japanese divided mahou shoujo into justice and evil.（「魔法少女アニメ王道対邪道」）
The representative of justice is precure, the representative of evil is madoka
Madoka opened up another brand new development route for mahou shoujo
The theme of madoka is also very suitable for adult audiences, but it cannot be said that madoka is the best mahou shoujo
Xavier Williams
>they got better
No.
Grayson Parker
>王道 = justice
>邪道 = evil
You are pretty liberal with your translation.
Anthony King
I don't know how to translate these Japanese words correctly, so I used the analogy of justice and evil.
Like the front and back of a coin.
Chase Cox
>Sailor Moon that low
>Utena
What CCStard made this pic?
Gavin Moore
It seems that only CCS and Madoka have not held music concerts.

Carter Price
Shamanic Princess.
It has gorgeous visuals, great animation, and a lot of cool concepts..
It also feels like it was ahead of its time for the mid-90s since similar darker/maturer magical girl anime didn't trend until the 2010s.
Logan Long
>look up madoka because you faggots post her all the time
>aired in 2011
holy shit you people are underaged, literally who are any of these people other than sakura
Oliver Gutierrez
No, teenagers and jaded manchildren who think the world is nothing but pure evil and humanity as a whole is rotten to the core think that.
Only 9/10 the teenagers grow out of it and realize that making something broader and with less shock value is better than relying on edgeshit. Same can't be said for the mandchildren.
Luis Morales
>look up madoka
Nice bait.
Jonathan Morgan
they became warhammer.
Lucas Morris
Who wouldn't want to look up goddess's skirt?
