Of course Prisma Illya is here despite it only being 6 episodes in....I mean based on the manga it's totally awesome and a personal favorite, but c'mon guys at least wait until it's done before adding it to the top 10 MS anime evaaar list. >_>
After the next episode it would be even higher.
No need. Episode 6 was so epic that the series already deserves to be on the list.
Rozen Maiden? Dolls are Mahou Shoujos now?
Rozen Maiden are more like robo dolls or possessed dolls .. Anything But magical girls.. unless you count voodoo reanimation as the criteria needed then i can call the bride of Frankenstein a magical girl too.. They should make a anime out of that Mahou Shoujo Frankenstein and the Undead Squad
So you are saying Rozen murdered 7 little girls and transplanted their souls in his dolls?
iCare
Aren't Megucas liches?
noone on this website cares about plots.
so why should it?
do you want to disgust someone personally or what the fuck is your PROBLEM?
redo the step you did at least 40000000 times before i see you not guilty.
There is no rule saying magical girls have to be human girls. Angels, genies, aliens, ducks, witches from their own world, and even robots like Cutey Honey are part of the genre. If they look like girls and wield magic or live up to enough tropes, that's all it takes.
As much as I love Rozen Maiden, you're right...it's not mahou shoujo.
I agree, rozen maiden are dolls not humans, so it aren't qualify to be on this list
And Nanoha, aren't they Gundams?
Sorry, had to say this...
Dolls = humans, all anime charas look the same.
its a triple lie. oh wow.
arent you trying WAY TO HARD to get my answers?
Why is not sailor moon in 1st place? -_-
I expected Sailor Moon in the top 5, but to put the spinoff Illy above it... wow.
Sailor Moon too sentai?
You're so from 90s pal
better to be from somewhere, than no where.
there is little argument against what they said, even if it was from the 80's 70's or 60's
cuz it sucks?
No Princess Tutu? :<
Well, it's not Magical Duck genre...
OH LOOK IT'S AMNESIA TIME
he must be a girl right because he can express himself properly?
there is a limit to how you want to disregard someone.
I understand why Madoka being the first, but Nanoha being the 4th? What the fuck!
Nanoha would have been higher if the poll was done five years ago. It probably would have been number 1.
However, the people who make it have been content to let it go completely stagnant in favor of REPEATED minimum-effort, maximum-profit reboots and spinoffs that involve basically nothing but ever more lesbian innuendo.
Which I can't entirely blame them for because moe fanboys are easy money, but as someone who liked the series for things other than girls holding hands, it's depressing. Its fandom has gotten so retarded I've pretty much pulled completely out of it.
It's fine once in the future this list will be up again and Nanoha will pretty much remain solid.Madoka is like SAO in the sense that it's fans are getting really really annoying.
Fans being annoying as a reason to dictate a show's longevity puts you on the same exact coin, but on the other side. People who hate shows because of the fans don't seem to realize that they themselves are the progenitors of the very defensive mindset that leads to the vehement retardation that fans can produce.
If people who say lines like 'the show sucks' ever started realizing that 90% of the time it's because of the fans, then they'd actually have the mental fortitude to realize that they've probably never even legitimately judged the shows themselves, but sent them through the filter of fan hatred.
SAO and Madoka were phenomenal. Were they revolutionary? You missed option C when that question and questions like it have been asked in the past: Who gives a fuck? It doesn't matter if they are revolutionary or not. They are good. VERY good. Are they perfect? Nobody every said they were, so it's a moot point. What matters is that anyone with a brain can recognize that when a show is this dichotomous, it's a literal impossibility for it to derive this much variance of emotion if it wasn't that good that it could do so in the first place.
By that logic, it's a simple breakdown to recognize that the fans who lack the ability to temper themselves are the ones who ruin the solid, pure emotion of a show itself for the people who may not have experienced it. Hence why you go "Well, fuck them, I'll form my own opinion by watching it and they can all eat a dick." The only requirement you have is to watch with an open mind and recognize when you yourself are starting to hate it because of them, otherwise you're no less a sheep than they are, and part of the exact same problem.
You are annoying and Madoka is genuine. Period.
And anon 22:59 perfectly proves my point. Thanks for that. Now stop being part of the problem.
Where the fuck is Aikawa Ayumu?
Nanoha had 3 series and two movies and its 4th? Ridiculous! Sailor Moon is beneath Illya despite its long history compared to 6 episodes? Nonsense. Lists like this are a waste of good photons.
Top ten by what criteria? Chance? The bulk of these are worse than Heartcatch Precure. And if you're going to put some of those on there then not putting Princess Tutu on as well is a crime against decency.
Can't disagree. HCPC is downright amazing for a Precure series.
Agreed. Heartcatch Precure should be in this list for sure.
PreCure is not even in the list... Why?
I don't really treat them as magical girls though. Yeah, if they should be, Precure must be on that list.
They are more like super sentai for little girls, although they do follow many of the mahou shoujo tropes too.
Dunno, but Eas is sekushii.
One day. I'm gonna book a movie ticket in Japan. Take a plane there, watch the newest allstars movie and return with a MIRACLE LIGHT!
Precure is the most successful mahou shoujo out there. Moon had her place but the modern media paradigm really means the cures are the richest of all.
In most of the lists here I would disagree with a rankings but at least entries fit in.
Strike Witches or Rozen Maiden are not magical girl series.
>Mordorka^WMadoka as #1 even though the only thing it has to do with mahou shoujo is title
Ya, sure. This one thing invalidates the list right from the start. Well, it's not that we have any other lists here.
In the other news, Sailor Moon should be #1 (^. ^)
Madoka has pretty much ruined the magical girl genre. You can't even talk about another magical girl show without someone screaming Madoka comparisons, or expecting every other magical girl show to be "as good as Madoka". Which usually means wanting to see characters get their heads bitten off.
Madoka was an OK series, but in terms of originality and characters with tragic pasts and understanding their lives were at risk....it's been done in just about every MS series before. Sailor Moon dealt with the deaths of multiple characters, Cure Moonlight lost her partner, father and half sister because she fought alone and didn't want to drag anyone down with her....... Complex stories and the confrontation of life and death is pretty common in all MS series.
This list sucks, because there isn't Card Captor Sakura and Princes Tutu.
and FTW rozen maiden
Card Captor IS on the list you fool.
Nanoha should be number ONE as in the top picture nanoha is the most badass mahou shoujo EVER
plus Fate Testarossa
