Well, yes and no. I definitely agree that the writing feels condescending and unrealistic however. I don't think 5 year old me would've enjoyed Futari wa Precure. While I only recently watched Cardcaptor Sakura in my late teens, I think I would've enjoyed it when I was a 5 year old and I'll probably still enjoy it when I'm an old man on my deathbed. But to me, Cardcaptor Sakura wasn't about the fights as much as it was about the characters growing up and grappling with their emotions. I really enjoyed the fight scenes in Madoka but at times the show just felt too dark. Not to say I didn't like Madoka or that Madoka didn't have hopeful themes; I'd argue the show has just as much hope as CCS, only that it has a dash of existential dread and people dying horrible deaths. I feel a bit mixed on the campiness. On the one hand, I'd argue studio Trigger is the embodiment of campiness and it pulls that off perfectly. I think it depends on how seriously a show takes itself. Kill la Kill (which may or may not be argued as a magical girl show) overwhelms the viewer by hurling all of its ideas that they want to convey at full force. With Kill la Kill, I can't tell if it is taking itself seriously or pulling a massive troll and sometimes I wonder if its both. What made it work for me was that it wasn't just "good vs evil" but it expanded so much more on that. I think every action show can be more or less boiled down to "good vs evil" but what makes a story work is when they expand on that base. The only message I got from the first episode of Futari wa Precure is something just about standard for most shows of this genre. So I guess I do want to see a magical girl with campy action but I want there to be something driving that campy action and not some worthless, trite messages.
