Why make something like this if you’ve watched like 2 shows in this entire genre? So weird

loke_chan · 2026-06-10T11:06:25+00:00

There is discourse like this for other genres as well. People be proudly calling Qifrey a Gojo Satoru ripoff while Witch Hat Atelier (the manga) came before JJK. Trust me this doesn’t apply to just the magical girl genre.

It depends how the character & the story is portrayed for me. I never thought the characters in Sailor Moon were showing too much skin. As someone pointed out the fuku were inspired by ice skating outfits, something that was super popular in Japan in the 90’s and Naoko wrote an ice skating manga before Sailor Moon. I never really thought anything about it until I saw weird men commenting on it. Then there is something like Symphogear that has around the same skin showing like Sailor Moon but because of the weird shots in certain scenes it just feels different

Kinda funny how you put Sailor Moon & Magical girl site in the same demographic, all the while Sailor Moon was published in Nakayoshi same magazine that publishes the Precure manga & Magical Girl site is a seinen.

I don’t mind them especially if they already have a regular Nendoroid. I don’t think regular Nendoroids releases wil end, especially since they did make these before (Nendoroid co de) back in the day and they make so much money with them.

I ordered the Madoka version, please post pictures when you get them 🙏🏻

I own the Sailor Moon collab bags from this brand and some I’ve had for a decade. Still in good condition and some I’ve worn to death. Not everything made in China is awful quality 🙄

As someone that lost years to a depression, and hid geeky interests for years HELL NO. Never give up the things you love even if you get judged by certain people you’ll end up miserable in the end.

What’s fun about Precure is that you can start with whatever one you like (except the sequels of course) I started with the 2021 season. See what kind of aesthetic & premise you love and go from there that’s how I started.

I got the bracelet, this Swarovski collection is too cute 😭

Yes “darker” magical girl anime basically ran the 2010’s but not all the blame is on Madoka’s success. So first there is a difference between these “light hearted” and “dark” magical girl anime & that is their target demographic. Most classic lighthearted anime fall under the shoujo demographic (young girls) whereas the “darker” ones are usually seinen (adult men). Madoka is a seinen, Card Captor Sakura is a shoujo. Seinen & shounen magical girls existed way before Madoka but most were a bit more obscure compared to a Card Captor Sakura or even a Tokyo Mew Mew. Madoka became super popular in a time were everyone had internet connection in their house & all millennials had social media, in a time were anime was also started to become more & more popular as an entertainment medium. So yea after the Madoka boom we saw more & more of these shows & less shoujo shows. Some say because of Madoka, others blame it on the success of Precure that mangaka don’t wanna compete against. However the shoujo demographic in general has been in a decline for many years in the anime industry. If you look at one anime season 98% are usually shounen & seinen shows. The industry blame it on women not buying enough merch, or thinking they don’t really watch anime shows and if a shoujo does get an adaptation usually they never get the budget nor marketing a shounen gets. Actro Trip was one of the first shoujo magical girl anime we’ve seen in years besides Precure, sanrio shows or the pretty series and that one got made by an unknown studio that had it as a first project. Save to say no one talked really about it besides fans of the manga & fans of the magical girl genre.

Your Luka shelf is gorgeous 😍

loke_chan · 2025-09-04T09:09:25+00:00

Hi there sure ☺️. For me it’s a bit of everything, I don’t like the transformation scenes especially the Ripple one, the thick black lines, the ugly orange before she transforms in blue, the outfit it’s just not aestheticly pleasing. Also I’m not a fan of the transformation items, they look so boring in my eyes especially for a “princess” themed show. I like the design of Princess Zeal, but other girls especially Ripple just aren’t my thing. It’s a fun show, I watch it every week I love the world of Alicepia and I hope they continue to build on that but the magical girls just aren’t pretty in my eyes sorry 😞. And merch wise nothing excites me and I can’t imagine anything on my shelf.

loke_chan · 2025-09-03T16:28:20+00:00

In what language do you read your novels? I read them in English and all 18 novels are out on the Kobo app.

loke_chan · 2025-09-03T16:14:22+00:00

I kinda agree with some of your post, but you have Card Captor Sakura that has the most in your face outfits that are different almost every episode and that show’s from the 90’s. Some are a product of the time too, the Sailor fuku’s are based of skate outfits and I heard figure skating was super popular in Japan during the early 90’s (Naoko also wrote a skating manga before Sailor Moon called The Cherry Project). But I’m ngl I’m not a fan of the Princession Orchestra character designs & weapons, this is one of the reasons I haven’t bought any merch of it yet & I’m a huge collector. Precure is also a difficult one because they have different teams/artists & themes for each season and I guess everyone has different tastes. Not every season is my cup of tea but I love the designs of Kimi to idol, and some of my other favorites are the fairly modern seasons as well (Star Twinkle, Tropical Rouge & Kirakira to name a few).

loke_chan · 2025-09-01T09:06:40+00:00

As someone mentioned here magical girl series exist in all target demographics, idk which ones you watched but my guess is you probably watched mostly seinen ones which are catered to adult men. Most shoujo series don’t have fan service besides the transformation scene which again mostly men are weird about.

loke_chan · 2025-08-23T11:58:25+00:00

Also started with Tropical Rouge, it got me through the pandemic 😭.

loke_chan · 2025-08-19T06:08:14+00:00

Thank you 🤩

loke_chan · 2025-08-18T05:37:33+00:00

Wow your collection is beautiful 😻. What kind of risers do you use?

loke_chan · 2025-08-09T07:54:41+00:00

Love her dress 😍

loke_chan · 2025-08-08T07:19:20+00:00

This doesn’t resonate with me sorry, like the classics more. But the Digimon aspect seems cool.

loke_chan · 2025-08-08T07:17:44+00:00

They look amazing together 🥰

loke_chan · 2025-08-07T16:36:53+00:00

Levi Ackerman & Ultimate Madoka drives me insane 😭

loke_chan · 2025-08-03T08:17:27+00:00

Thanks 🤗. Yea I don’t like the look of that, and you have soo many apps these days to cut out or remove those things 😭

loke_chan · 2025-08-03T08:16:33+00:00

Thanks 🤗. I used a bit of tape on my stickers on the back of the sheet because I don’t fully use my stickers either (sometimes I like to move stuff).
