Heyo! I have a curious question! So, I know you like the Magical Girl genre so I'm curious. How do you feel about some of the modern MG shows that tried to be very dark and grim and all that sad stuff?
I honestly donāt like them at all. Utena is like the onlyĀ ādeconstructionā show I liked but even it had positive tones. Utena was positive throughout the whole thing, kept to her ideals and all that.
I mean yeah, itās nice to see the repercussions of becoming something like a magical girl, but they all take it WAY too far and make it feel likeĀ āNO. MAGICAL GIRLS ARE BAD YOUR LIFE WILL BE LIVING HELLā and itās like...no...these arenāt the ideas I grew up with. At this point, Precure is pretty much the best show to show both pros and cons of being a teenager (who also happens to be a magical girl). Like man, I sure loved Go! Princessā end message - that dreams and despair go together and itās okay to feel despair at times, but it should also help you strive for your dreams even more.
