    So, I'm creating a solo RPG based on an image that I took from Reddit.
    I was doing almost everything in the genre, except for the "rarity of magic" issue. Perhaps that is what is missing (although it is already fun).
    I really wanted to understand is what makes people like this genre so much? Is it the fantasy of using magic? Is it the fact that they have powerful women? Is it the fantasy of being special? The illusion that individual attitudes matter?

      I'm super excited to watch more PreCure! It will be a looooong time before we get there in the timeline, but to date I've seen both versions of PreCure 5, Fresh, and some of HeartCatch, and had a great time with all of them. Really looking forward to getting around to the original FwPC and other series in the franchise!

    • @PlumRosePrism
      @PlumRosePrism 6 років тому +18

      ErynCerise Oh I'd definitely recommend watching Heartcatch, Go! Princess and Futari wa Precure Splash Star! The former two have some of the best stories in the franchise while Splash Star, even though it's underrated, is my personal favourite season.

    • @Numbuh4xdxd

      @TheDustyForest 6 років тому +5

      I've only watched Mahoutsukai so far (from last year), and it was way way better than I expected! I started Kirakira a while back and intend to finish it at some point, and I have interest in watching both Go! PP and FwP but I don't really know much about the others, like which people say are the best and so on. Precure is also the thing I am most looking forward to being covered in this series!

    Tbh I was a bit wary about you branching out from Love Live, since that's what introduced me to you, and you've honestly been such a great idoltuber and that made me wanna stick around and see what this next projects of yours is going to be. And honestly, I am so glad that I did! This looks like so much fun, both for me to watch and for you to make, and while the magical girl animes I watched can pretty much be summed up in Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch and Sailor Moon, I've been very eager to branch out, and I'm super thrilled about watching this series and learning more about one of my favorite genres of all time! I probably wouldn't even be a fan of anime and I wouldn't be who I am now if it wasn't for these two shows I mentioned, so I'm very excited about this!
    Also I wish I could support you on patreon and such, but sadly I'm still just a poor high school student 😂

Anyway I'm really excited for this, I love magical girls but I haven't seen nearly enough so I'm looking forward to the shows you'll talk about! By the way, are you going to cover each Precure separately or bunch them all up in one episode? :O

  • @Dana_Brain
    @Dana_Brain 6 років тому +25

    AHHH! I'm really excited for this. But a bit of a question, Does Princess Tutu fit these requirements and break them? I mean techniqually Princess Tutu isn't a "Typical girl" and lives in a high fantasy world, but she still does go to dance school and appears as a normal girl surrounded by fantastical elements. Such as the cat being a teacher. (im being as vauge as possible for those who haven't seen the show) It's one of my favorite magical girl shows and it's kinda in the middle between both requirements. She is a normal girl who goes to school but at the same time isn't, and she lives in a hiigh fantasy world but at the same time doesn't..It could be possible that I am overthinking this, but my experience with Magical girl shows has usually been the ones most subversive to the genre so I can get a bit mudded in my thought process. (Also powerpuff girls Z was a thing... is that also a thing with this... ? Also.. the lilo and stitch anime, does that count? )

    • @Eryncerise
      @Eryncerise  6 років тому +12

      I think it's borderline like Little Witch Academia and Akazukin Chacha, but close enough to count! Like you said, she appears as a normal girl, and for the most part other people in the world aren't that aware of magical goings-on (even if some of them are literal cat and anteater people), so I think that's wiggle room enough IMO. Plus she is generally accepted as a magical girl in most standard lists of shows in the genre, which is usually what I'll be using to decide borderline cases like that.
      And yes, Powerpuff Girls Z is totally a thing and it totally counts IMO. ;)

    • @WalkingGirlKoi
      @WalkingGirlKoi 6 років тому +8

      BellyThat Productions Princess Tutu definitely counts. Personally, not every magical girl has to hit every bulletpoint requirement most have. For example, Ririka from Ririka SOS does not have a familiar/mascot character leading her, but she does have a prince helping her out instead. Tutu has a alter ego and magical powers that make a huge impact on the story, setting, and plot. While the fandom does have differing opinions what counts in the genre a lot, I haven't seen anyone claim Princess Tutu isn't one.

    Yay I been waiting so long and now its here~! RIP with all those neverending PreCure series. Nice mention of Fresh! my fav. Makes me wonder if there will be a mention of the new Glitter Force dubs in this series.
    Also I hope for an episode or mention with Princess Comet/Senorita Cometa (not the anime 90s series but the 60s live action/slightly animated show) That's a classic that needs to be talked about more as many consider it the second magical girl series ever made. Also it is my mom's childhood show. XD
    I wish ya luck on this series.

    • @Eryncerise
      @Eryncerise  6 років тому +5

      Since the drama is mostly live action, there won't be a full episode until we get to the later Cosmic Baton Girl Comet-san anime. But good point that it probably does warrant at least a mention in the early episodes alongside stuff like Sally and Akko-chan! I will see if I can fit in a brief mention into the Sally episode.

    Magical girls are wonderful. Their history is very interesting, it's good to know their origins and evolution. From Sally (1966) to Matoi (2016), passing by Cutie Honey, Sailor Moon and Sakura, so many stories to watch or read.

    When you mentioned phrases, the first thing that popped into my head was the "unlock" catchphrase from Shugo Chara. I haven't seen that anime in years, yet I still remember the transformations!
    I'm super excited for this series! Already, everything looks so nice, and I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job explaining everything, Miss Cerise! My younger self wanted to watch all the Magical Girl anime, but never did, so this'll be a good chance to pick up watching the genre again.

  • @Stevem
    @Stevem 6 років тому

    I appreciate what you are doing with this series , it's a labour of love although from my perspective there's a couple things you can do to make the series more approachable in the UA-cam system .
    I once did a series on old toei films when my channel was much smaller, this is what I learned.
    Remove the number from the title, by calling it part 1 or 2 you are limiting the series watch potential as most don't want to start halfway through(but will, first ep i saw was the mermaid one). Although in a series like this I think pushing the playlist and putting the year in the title would help more (it did for me)
    Shortening the title , right now your titles are wayyyyy too long for the system I can't see it all in the preview. In my opinion the titles should be more : Sally The Witch (1969) | A History of Magical Girls or SALLY THE WITCH - Mahou Profile.
    Third is thumbnails I appreciate that you have an artist doing your thumbnails however I feel they are not pushing for what youtube needs. Which are close ups (faces are key) , simple blocking, bold colour pallets with optimal text. On my side bar I can see the Sally the Witch thumbnail and for its size theres a bit too much going on for it to be read properly. I'd also advice against putting text in the bottom right corner because the timer blocks the ability to read it.
    The forth thing is more of my own preference but it's one I think creators should be doing more, because it benefits everyone. Cite all your research in the description. It helps freaks like me find research and makes your work source-able, I find it hard to take information from people on the internet in good faith, which makes me less inclined to share it unless I know they've sourced their stuff.
    Anyway I hope this series does well it might be a long road but I could see episodes on Sailor Moon or Precure explode. Not enough people talk about Magical Girls in an in depth way, I've always liked the idea of making a video on the shoujo revolution of the late 60s , ever since I read a write up about it in an illustration magazine I used to be subscribed to.
    Good Luck!

  • @sofitssofi
    @sofitssofi 6 років тому +1

    Finally somebody makes a good clear video on youtube what counts as a magical girl anime or just a magical girl animation in general! A lot of fans of the genre, if I can even call it that, have grown tired of people miscategorizing it as just cute shows where an underage girl (usually) in a mini skirt fights monsters with sparkles and love. The "genre" includes so many wonderful titles but they can be ignored by the majority of viewers due to the prejudice of "oh, it's one of THOSE series".
    And to boot, you plan to cover EVERY single mahou shoujo anime! Seeing this video, I can safely predict you will go into each one with a lot of care and research. SourcererZZ did such a list yet stopped years ago and he barely touched upon each series. Still, he was the 1st on youtube to make such an attempt, he introduced me to a bunch of new mahou shoujo anime and I am sure he can help you with your list. :) For years I have also been making such a list of my own but aimed to make it a picture list like the few others out there rather than a video series. I also wanted to make a video essay discussing in great depth what exactly is a magical girl show but here you made it very clear so there's no need for me :D Good luck on the journey!

  • @FallenGhoul
    @FallenGhoul 6 років тому +6

    Ahh your new avatar design looks so cuuute. I’m really looking forward to this series despite the fact I’ve yet to watch most Magical Girl series. I will say I chuckled a little when you gave us the definition of the genre because I’ll never get over the fact that the Japanese dub of the 4th generation of My Little Pony series is considered a magical girl series. No clue how that got around but I could also see how. It’s strange to me but funny.

    • @imnotmakingvideos1162
      @imnotmakingvideos1162 6 років тому +1

      Yeah, I was a little confused when I saw that the Japanese dub of MLPFIM is considered a magical girl show.

    • @Eryncerise
      @Eryncerise  6 років тому +1

      Hahaha, I could see that considering Lauren Faust originally pulled from magical girl tropes for the creation of the series! But yeah, by the definition and restrictions I've set for myself, MLP would not be covered in the main series. If I ever look at it, it would be as a bonus episode, like I said.
      But yes, I hope you enjoy the series! I'm writing it with new fans in mind, so it should hopefully be easy to follow even without knowledge of the genre. Especially since the first several episodes are going to be about shows almost no one in English fandom has seen, not even avowed magical girl fans! 😛

  • @raulalvarez5021
    @raulalvarez5021 6 років тому +1

    AHH! This is so exciting! Even if I do have to say my knowledge of Magical Girl shows doesnt go too far (Sailor Moon, Madoka, Cardcaptor Sakura, Utena... Kill la Kill and Little Witch Academia if they are counted maybe??) that actualy makes this even more exciting because Im going to be learning so much about a genre of anime that Ive never given that much of a chance! (Even tho Madoka, Utena and Sakura are like 3 of my top anime ever?)
    Plus, the magical girl avatar is FREAKISHLY adorable and I can absolutely get behind the way in which you present info and edit stuff. And how you can keep something fairly serious and concise while still making me laugh.

    I love Magical Girl genre show however I hate shows like Madoka Magica with a burning passion. I consider it infamous for begin the who to manual on "Who to Kill your Favorite Childhood Genre." In my opinion that show did not help redefined the genre is helped killed it. Deconstruction is bad for the industry Madoka Magica, Yuki Yuna, Magical Girl Razing Project, and Magical Girl Site along with any show that follow there footsteps are a disgrace to the genre.

    • @Eryncerise
      @Eryncerise  6 років тому

      Nope! I can draw a little, but not nearly well enough to look as professional as I want this stuff to be. So I commission very talented artists to do artwork when I need it! You can always check the end credits or the video description to see any artist information and links I've included.
      For convenience's sake: the artist of my avatar is Olivine Arc (twitter.com/thesummerwars/) and the artist for the title card is Onsta (twitter.com/OnstaMonsta/). The line art for my old avatar with the black beret was done by Parker Lovell (twitter.com/sailorswayze), but I did colour that one myself at least.

    I'm really excited to see this series, I know the general history of the genre but I've never looked into it in depth. And just seeing the panels of shows reminded of shows I watched ages ago and had forgotten about, like Shugo Chara and Magical Mew Mew Taruto! And I can see how Akazukin ChaCha is borderline but I'm glad to see it on the list (admittedly, the manga is even less mahou shoujou than the anime - they added a ton of MS elements in the adaptation). This is super ambitious but super exciting, can't wait to see more!

    Looking forward to this series! There are some definitely interesting series especially in early mahou shoujo.
    I watched a bit of Akazukin Chacha. The magical girl element is I guess exclusive to the anime; the manga is just about a cute clumsy witch having adventures.
    Also thank you for not covering hentai. I mean, obviously UA-cam's rules wouldn't allow it, but I could understand why it wouldn't be comfortable. Years ago I watched a "cleaned up" clip of "Venus 5" (a hentai series that is basically a parody of Sailor Moon with some Wedding Peach elements thrown in), and even THAT was pretty inappropriate.

    Ahhh I still vividly remember the day 6 y/o me, around like 1999, sat infront of the TV waiting patiently for my fave show to start - and then found out it had been replaced by Sailor Moon from that day. At first I was mad, but then tiny me watched the first episode and started drawing Fanart and collecting all things Sailor Moon and here I am, a 23 y/o full-blown weeb. Thanks to Sailor Moon 17 years ago.

    Looking forward to this.
    Just a little input for something you might want to address, the status of some of these characters you've fit within your definition of magical girls is suspect, such as Cutie Honey and Matoi Ryuuko. The japanese wikipedia pages for these series doesn't contain magical girl under their genres like it would for Sailor Moon, and instead just calls them sento bishojo/beautiful girl fighters. Same applies to Symphogear. Ryuuko doesn't even transform, she's a superhuman with a transforming symbiote.

    On a scale of 1 to 10, how thoroughly would you say that Madoka Magica killed the genre?

    • @Eryncerise
      @Eryncerise  5 років тому +2

      I wouldn’t say that at all. I think sayings like “killed the genre” are reductive. Did Madoka have an impact on the genre? Definitely. Is it a negative one? Arguably yes. But genres change and shift through trends all the time. The “dark magical girl” period is just the one we happen to be going through right now.
      Never mind that Precure, Jewelpet, and magical-girl-inspired idol shows like Aikatsu and PriPara still hold the torch strong for kid-oriented shows. And Studio Trigger alone made two fantastic magical girl shows the break from traditional moulds (Kill la Kill and Little Witch Academia). Plus you still get really wild and innovative shows every now and then like Yurikuma Arashi and Flip Flappers, which are arguably part of the genre too.
      So I would say the genre is still plenty alive. Not only are there still non-dark magical girl shows getting made, the “dark” ones are still part of the genre, so they alone would indicate it’s still alive.

    I personally feel a transformation is required. I just don't think that card captor sakura and similar are magical girl. A sequence isnt required imo. I also feel that maybe a listing of magical girl characters in non magical shows and a listing of magical girlfriend media would be a good strech goal. Also maybe a text post of hentai series with an obvious warning label would be good at some point. And International shows too. Really looking forward to this series.

I just really thought that that show might be somewhat alright but boy is it demented and seems to be on a whole different genre in terms of all of the other animes. I just can't get over how dark it is. Anyways, I guess the video helped. Thanks.
