Yeah I call it the "sad magical girl" genre mostly as a joke because Yuuki Yuuna was the show I was watching when I realized the pattern in what I was into these days. I'm jotting all of these down, magical girl or no. Thanks for the suggestions

Did you already get Granbelm recommended?

Randomly remembered the Tower of Druaga anime. That first season was pretty fun, if I remember correctly

I did, and I liked it a lot

If nothing else than as a conversation starter, here's my ranking of the shows in this "genre" I've watched in the past year, including some hot takes:

Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight
Gekijou Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight (movie)
(big gap)
Revolutionary Girl Utena (final third)
Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero (season two)
Blue Reflection: Ray
Selector Infected Wixoss
Adolescence of Utena (movie)
Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero (season one)
Granbelm
Selector Spread Wixoss
Revolutionary Girl Utena (first third)
(big gap)
Senki Zesshou Symphogear
Revolution Girl Utena (middle third)
(big gap)
Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero (season three)

I split Utena into thirds because the final arc is transcendent but the middle arc is mind numbingly dull and it didn't feel fair to rate the whole thing together and call it, on average, decent

the middle part has the nanami cowbell episode so it's good

If you’re curious on what the evolutionary endpoint of the Madoka trend was, look no further than Magical Girl Raising Project. As you might be able to tell by the title, it is about as subtle as a jackhammer, but it had enough action and melodrama to keep me entertained for 12 episodes just to see what crazy dumb poo poo happened next. :v:

I think it takes a bit to get going, but once it does, it basically never stops. It's like chapter 16 or so iirc when it really hooked me, I was pretty blase on it until then.

really, the only thing I hope they change is the panty shots, I feel like I remember there being a bunch of them when it doesn't need that, it's a fine enough series on its own without pointless fanservice.
