Recent years have had a rash of dark, subversive "magical girl" series. This has made me go back and appreciate shows like this that play the genre straight and have some fun! The dark, gritty shows are really just the same old stories of teens with "special powers" they would have normally written. They just make the cast girls, put them in dresses and call them "magical girls" while making limp-wristed inclusions of the actual tropes of the genre. I really, I mean REALLY love Magi Puella Madoka Magica. All of these "me too!" copy cats that have followed after it just make mesigh. I've been going back and rewatching shows like Kaito Tenshi Twin Angel to cleanse my palate. I rated this a 7 when it first came out. Now I've bumped it up to an 8 for adding some joy to my life.
