I POSSESS QUESTIONABLE TASTE IN TOUHOU GAMES
Heartcatch (and Ojamajou DoReMi) are insanely good magical girl anime. Yes! is crazy in a way that makes it seem like it's taking the piss out of itself. Smile has a nice team dynamic and I'm a sucker for dark magical girls.

The rest have their moments, but don't quite hit the same level as those three. Heartcatch is drat near required watching for magical girl fans, though.

I POSSESS QUESTIONABLE TASTE IN TOUHOU GAMES
Futari wa/Max Heart being a kind of dark, toku-esque magical girl anime was what gave the Pretty Cure series its subversive charm in the first place.

It was the first all-ages (read: not made for pedophiles or older women) magical girl anime that was aware of and allowed to openly embrace older audiences, as well as the logical next step from what Takeuchi had to fight for with Sailor Moon.

Paper Lion is also right, but you should watch Ojamajo DoReMi too.
