there's a lot of magical girl stuff outside of the "henshin hero fight" mold, so that's silly.

Although I've seen a lot of fanart of Devilman...I just can't get into it like the entire series. I'm old now and I just want happier shows and SoL.

Is this really a thing people believe? It sounds like an incredibly dumb thing to get caught up on

Disclaimer: I have seen literally two magical girl shows and know nothing about the genre so if you told me there's some Ashikaga era law still on the books that decrees that all magical girl anime need to have transformations I'd believe you

Checks out. I'm not in charge of genres but I think transformation sequences are great, so magical girl shows should have then.

If no one makes a FRANXX thread by tomorrow I will

(I've seen people say that Sakura isn't really a magical girl because she doesn't transform, but as her staff transforms with a light show when she activates its powers, this seems rather nitpicky.)

This is the weeb equivalent of people who whine about the differences between zombies and the infected.

A girl with chin length white hair and rough assymetric bangs who goes around in just a bra and panties with big titties AND she turns into a furry? Somebody tell Ibram.

Basically this.

Transformations are pretty ubiquitous for the genre - hell, Sakura's costumes are just a deliberate riff on that aspect - but I'm not aware of anything technically mandating it. Even if there is, any "well technically" are probably just in dry fun, because I don't really think fans of the genre are that frothing at the mouth regarding the issue.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

Wait, Killing Bites is just Juuni Taisen from last season, but with slightly less edge, way less pretentiousness, and way more tits.
