and I didn't even include magical boy anime (which isn't as rare as some people think)

look. a subgenre going in a direction you don't like for a while doesn't make it "dead". reboots, sequels, prequels, and stuff like that are the trend in all sorts of media, not just magical girl anime.

also, there are all sorts of cool magical girl works that aren't anime, and i don't just mean manga and light novels. there's live-action stuff, VNs, webcomics, written works, cartoons from countries other than japan...

and guess what? i'm not against dark magical girl stuff by any means. madoka magica was what got me into magical girl stuff in the first place! i love all sorts of magical girl media, both light and dark, though i don't claim to be an expert by any means. there's still so much stuff i haven't watched/read/played...

anyway, the anime listed here include Artiswitch, Kuromajo-san ga Tooru, Little Witch Academia, Fantasista Doll, Magia Wars, SHY, Hina Logi: From Luck and Logic, Matoi the Sacred Slayer, I've Had Enough of Being a Magical Girl, Urahara, Flip Flappers, Six Hearts Princess, Magical Girl Kurumi, The Demon Girl Next Door, and Mewkledreamy. The upcoming ones are Magical Girl Aiko, Princess Session Orchestra, Acro Trip, Magilumiere, The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to be Enemies, and an unnamed magical girl anime from Studio Pierrot

Day 5 of cringetober "Gijinka" I chose Gangle (it's still counted since her character design isn't human like) and thought she would fit to look like a flapper girl and also ad that she would be a albino.

Oh yeah and her clothes I've got the idea from @laweonakenny (credit) so it's also a fanart for her (I hope it's ok)

P.s I can't find the original pose so here it looks the same: https://pin.it/4GvB7PBAB

Lately I realized that my favorite mahou shoujos are the ones that deviate from traditional mahou shoujo tropes and storytelling. I especially love when they have lots of symbolism, are experimental, are full of mystery, thought provoking, oh and if they have a lesbian romance that ends up saving the day (Princess Tutu is the exception, it may not have a lesbian romance save the day, but spoiler alert love and friendship save the day.)
