honestly i wish the only way for magical girls to get respect wasn't for them to be as close to shonen as possible.
"unlike other magical girls, precure has hand to hand combat! its dbz for girls!"
"i know princess tutu's name is stupid but its actually not girly at all!"
"sailor moon isn't ACTUALLY for little girls because [insert scene of characters suffering or creepy stuff from the manga here]"
"madoka is better than other magical girls because its DARK"
like do magical girls really needs to be dbz but girly to be worthy of respect? can't they just be... magical girl shows? a show can be unapologetically girly and aimed at girls and still be worth checking out. yes, princess tutu is girly. yes, sailor moon is girly. yes, precure is girly. yes, madoka, despite being a seinen and darker, ultimately upholds the messages of the genre. and they're all awesome and deserve respect on their own merits, not as a comparison to popular shonen shows.

thinking about the yukari kotozume/akira kenjou as romeo and juliet art posted by the kamikita twins (the artists for the precure manga) that literally says 'will you marry me?' in english on it again

Well of course Bandai
(After a mom on Twitter became viral because her son couldn't wear a Cure Wing costume at an event, since it wasn't a thing back then)
It's a Premium Bandai exclusive, like Cure Chocolat's costume was in 2018
Now the only thing missing from the main line of toys is probably his doll, hopefully we'll get it as well
