As I go through these, I’m increasingly of the mind there’s definitely something to be written about the trends in magical girl shows of the decade. While there wasn’t a noticable boom, there’s some success stories in there, and interesting ideas floating around.
Created by Junichi Sato (Sailor Moon, Sgt. Frog), like Magic User’s Club and Princess Tutu, it’s another of his personal delves into the genre. Reportedly his retelling of Snow White with the dwarves replaced by pretty boys and removing the Prince Charming aspect. I’m curious about the show as I’ve like Sato’s takes on the genre in the past. In fact, I think I really need to reconsider Sato’s work as a whole as the more I think about it, the more I think he’s really rather excellent.
