At the heart of the 魔法少女 / mahou shoujo, or magical girl, genre of anime lies the all-important henshin (transformation) scene, where the young loli must transform into her magical battle mode in the most alluring manner possible, whilst avoiding attracting the attention of censors, although this ceases to be an issue in the case of adult magical loli anime.
Here we have a highly comprehensive look at transformation scenes of all kinds, reaching an impressive half an hour in length over three videos.
Should you be familiar with more than a fraction of these you might justifiably fear the wrath of Beako even more than I, but let us pay no heed to such matters, and instead get down to some serious scrutiny:
Player 1
Nico.
Player 2
Nico.
Player 3
Nico.
You might also want to take a look at this hentai transformation, and this Clannad transformation.
More legends.

haha the last one was funny, attacking while transforming ^^
Divine post.
LMAO at the second video from 5.03-6.21. WTF was that?
Squatting and panting in a very suggestive manner, causing a huge puddle from the “bodily liquid” she generated from her “exercise” (whether it’s sweat or something else is left to one’s imagination).
And to top it up, this puddle then explodes into a water pillar, destroying the classroom along the way while she henshins inside the it.
I must add, nice use of the Macarena-like song as well.

Isn’t “Anime Legends” a trademark of Bandai Entertainment? ww
First I heard of it. Maybe I’ll go back to just “Legends” to avoid confusion.
Woot UFO Princess!
In my opinion
It seems like Magic Girl transformations of the 2000 era are more flashy (colorful) and very boring. even the music is just badly done.
the characters just stand there and the outfit poofs on. you get the same stand alone shots in every anime with them: “hand” “leg” “back” “hair”.
2000 transformations are more clever though and the animation in is nice, but geez show some frame work.
What happened to that magic and intensity that i saw with 90’s based Magic Girl transformations?
the directions for those were great and rememberable. the girls spun, twisted, smiled, and the clothing appeared seamlessly. the music was fun and i could listen to them over and over even if they were only 30 to 1 minute long. some were outright funny, and tastefully done.
Even 80s based transformations were interesting. especially the wands and character designs (good marketing).
And what happened to male transformations? you rarely (if never) see them! the guys just do one look at the camera and they are dressed…its a total ripoff i tells ya!
LOL- Dude it reflects the amount of time it takes Males to ‘Get Ready’ vrs a Women. Just ‘look in the mirror’ (Maybe smell their shirt) and they’re ready to go…anywhere. That’s not a Rip-Off- it’s just how men are- lol. Why do you want to see a lengthy Male-Transformation- lolol.
Here you go… “Metro-Sexual Power!!!!” (Magical Hair Comb & Gel activation!) blah, blah, ends with a sparkle in the mans teeth and the ‘Thumbs Up’ or ‘Hang Loose’ finger-wave- lol.
That’d be a great parody or the magical girl formula- only the males be ‘perverts’ and Slackers and Gamers- lol.
Could anyone tell me where the second last one from the third vid is from?
Although i love mew mew power and moetan i think the last one in the 3rd video is the best XD
