I haven't watched dragon maid yet but Roba likes it

Does that pass the moe test, meaning is he open enough for stuff like New Game?

Crunchyroll was acting up yesterday so I started watching Puella Magi Madoka Magica on Netflix. I'm most of the way through now and I've also done some reading up the series in general (I rarely care about spoilers). I'm going to spoiler-tag my current thoughts.

From my understanding, Madoka is a deconstruction of some 'magical girl' genre. Despite TVTropes describing it as an anime that's regularly recommended to beginners, I feel like I'm losing something by not knowing anything about that genre to begin with. The first three episodes were easily my favorite when they were learning about everything and it seemed like a semi-lighthearted story about friends coming together to battle witches. Then the end of the third episode happened and it's been increasingly grim ever since. I understand that's the whole point of Madoka and I'm certainly appreciating it for what it is (I just finished Episode 10 and timeline shenanigans always appeal to me), but I can't shake the feeling that I would've liked it better if it stayed semi-lighthearted instead. Magical girls beating progressively more dangerous threats while slowly coming together as a group was what I thought the show would be at first, and that sounded pretty good to me! I guess I should look into other magical girl shows in the future that play the tropes straighter.

That genre is increasingly rare as most magical girl shows nowadays are trying and failing to one up Madoka.

The only major ones that aren't are pre Madoka shows that are still ongoing.

I can understand that. Nanoha's my personal favorite magical girl show, though it's slightly less conventional than usual, and I'm not sure if it's on any streaming services or not...? Actually I don't think there are many conventional magical girl shows on streaming services in general, other than Glitter Force on Netflix...

swordz9's rec was terrible btw, so just ignore that.

Yeah I just checked the 'magical girl' tag on Crunchyroll and selection was fairly limited (Day Break Illusion is at least getting added to my lengthy to-watch list, though, because that's a neat title). Ah well, thanks for the Nanoha recommendation anyway, I'll make a note of it too and maybe it'll turn up somewhere someday!

Magical Girl Raising Project is a good magical girl show, but it is also in the more Madoka direction of tone.

I have not seem Day Break Illusion, but I know it was one of the first shows to come out to attempt to rip off Madoka.

Sadly, I think this is one of the rare Crunchyroll shows that isn't available in Canada because it listed zero episodes when I clicked on it.

Flip Flappers was removed from Crunchyroll recently.

Raising Project is even more dark and violent than Madoka. Daybreak Illusion also dark, though maybe a little less? Also less good though.

Raising Project feels like the very definition of 'trying to one-up Madoka'

Though yes, it's still pretty good.

Probably because if I remember right S1 ended with everybody alive. Admittedly it's been a while since I watched it, but I don't recall it being as in your face with the death and grim as Madoka. It had was more fun SoL type stuff at least

Spoilers for the current season.

Prequel was dark as fuck, and the sequel is currently going all out on the depressing factor. The original ending was a trap.

I think it's on Hulu, not sure where else. All of Sentai's latest releases have been put on Hidive though. In fairness a lot of Sentai's recent dubs are way better than their old stuff too! A bunch of them have actually been pretty good.

The couple was incredibly awkward and cute at the end. I wish there was more so we could see the cute college girl playing.

I prefer Moriko's office lady look and her NEET look more than her make over.
