Stopped after the first wave attack thing. Mainly because I got bored, didn't like the main character and the supporting cast with the sole exception of the weapon salesman.

Tsurune still has 3 eps left thanks to its broadcast being pushed off-schedule by a couple of weeks, and the last two have actually been pretty good after slowly losing my interest over the course of 6 eps or so. Minato and Seiya are really good, and I wish their dynamic had gotten like half of the screentime the past few eps had spent on Kaito.

Aside from Madoka, I think basically all the good magical girl shows are shoujo.

Madoka is good because, unlike pretty much every other dark magical girl show since, it's not edgy for the sake of being edgy. The traumas the various characters suffer are (for the most part—there are valid criticisms of even PMMM) purposeful and contribute to their ultimate arcs. Notably, things end fairly well for everyone involved, at least in the TV canon, because unlike in Mahou Shoujo Site or Magical Girl Raising Project, watching the cast suffer is not the point of the show.

the mecha episode of flip flappers goes pretty overboard on rear end shots but otoh sexuality is an actual theme of the show and the characters and it literally wouldn't be the same story without some of it, like the entire episode centering around cocona's thoughts and feelings about papika like idc if a show gets dark or a bit weird but when the only notes i'm getting about a magical girl show are "their parents were brutally dismembered" or "a lesbian hangs herself and then they zoom out to show that also she pissed herself after dying" then, well, uh, hm

Mulderman posted:So question for the people rejecting Shield Hero. Apparently the LN which I'll just quite a friend of mine from another forum. Him: I enjoy the manga and would watch this if I ever bothered to watch anime, but the LN's writing is garbage. The prose is just absolute poo poo. It's written with the voice of some edgelord fuckup but has the vocabulary and sentence structure of a young kid's book. If I had tried the LN before the manga I NEVER would have tried the manga, it really is that bad. Me: I've heard a LOT of things about the series. Very few of them make me want to pick it up in any major capacity. Like stuff that was written by a massive edgelord with lots of women problems that was bullied by the popular kids. Him: That's not an inaccurate description of parts of the series. And I don't like those parts, but there's enough other stuff I like that I can put that aside.

To be clear, good LNs and even WNs exist, even beyond the ones you mention. But the low barriers to writing them ensure that there's a lot of bad ones.

Web Novels are basically fanfiction-tier writing, in that it's a way for amateur writers to get some experience and/or feedback for their first story. There isn't much in the way of an editing process, you just get someone's raw ideas and feelings. And much like fanfiction, turns out a lot of readers don't really care about things like "good writing" as long as the content is something they're interested in.
