How accurate is this? Try to remove one as it seems impossible

Not accurate at all. There's only three in a trilogy.

That's why the goal is to remove one.

The real revolutionaries in Mahou Shoujo

Sally the Witch: 1st mahou shoujo and was originally based from Bewitched. Target audience was housewives and little girls
Utena/Sailormoon: 1st mahou shoujo that catered to both men and female audience
Nanoha: 1st actual battle mahou shoujo with a decent sci-fi elements

Madoka is a deconstruction but it is not exactly that revolutionary.

>>155804958
>sailor moon
is shit though

>>155805005
You're talking about crystal

>>155805044
I'm talking about anything Toei touches. She's an unlikable protagonist that gets her ass carried every single episode. There's also certain powers that overlap in function.

I've only seen the first season.

>>155804640
Why "trilogy" and not "trinity"?

>>155804958
>Sally the Witch
>1st Mahou Shoujo
Nope, try Himitsu no Akkochan instead.

>Utena/Sailor Moon
>1st to cater to men and women
Nope, try Creamy Mami instead, at the very least. There's probably something that did it before then too actually.

Are you literally retarded?

>>155804640
CCS and Nanoha need to stay.

Madoka is nice, popular and all, but the magical girl elements are not the reason.

>holy trilogy
>not trinity
>four items listed
Take your garbage back to /v/.

Utena, CCS and Tutu. Nanoha is overrated as fuck on here.

Why do people even call Utena a magical girl show, I mean come on. Really doesn't make any sense to me.

If Nanoha is on your list of definitive mahou shoujo, you don't know SHIT about mahou shoujo.

What's wrong with that?

>>155805847
Sally was 3 years before akko-chan tho

well don't we have a lot of newfriends today

>>155805005
it deserves a spot for innovating

what the heck is Alien Nine

>>155806541

Nah. Innovating is one of the most artificial reasons to like something

>>155806458
The manga was 4 years before Sally's.

Utena turned into a car. How is that not a mahou shoujo?

There we go.

>>155804640
anoha doesn't even deserve to be up there. PreCure kicked off the action mahou shoujo, Nanoha just took it and pandered directly at otaku. Nanoha in general is pretty bad. It doesn't hel that it's not even pretending to be a magical girl show anymore.

Madoka is great, but it's barely a magical girl show. Both of its main characters aren't even magical girls anymore.

>Alien Nine
literally who?

CCS is the only one that belongs there.

>>155807231
>implying PreCure doesn't pander to otaku even worse than Nanoha

Your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad. I agree with Alien Nine at least.

>>155807012
>>155807231
>Alien Nine
That's the whole point of this thread. OP has made it several times already. He's trying to bait fans of three very popular mahou shoujo series into looking up and watching Alien Nine. Don't bother. No one has heard of it because it was awful.

I made it once prior and you not knowing Alien Nine is like not knowing Key the Metal Idol.

>>155807457
Sailor Moon is undoubtably one of the most important mahou shoujo. That doesn't keep Nanoha from being a terrible mahou shoujo anime.

>>155806578
Eva but good

>>155804640
I'd say Madoka Magica. No one still talks about it outside the deranged inbred cabal of faggots on this particular board, and the cosmology bullshit means it isn't even much of a magical girl show anymore.

>>155807231
>>155807941
Nanoha defined the moe culture in it's time and usually I would defend it.

But this is fine, people need to forget about it. It should just die in peace and stop making sequels.

But
>pandering
There's nothing wrong with having a target audience, stop parroting this like it's something bad.

I'd remove CCS because it can actually fit that image whereas the others doesn't

>>155806969
perfect

>Alien Nine
Might aswell put Uta Kata and that has a more Mahou Shoujo feel to it.

>>155804640
>How accurate is this?
I don't know, but have a bump for Alien Nine.

>>155804958
How is Madoka a deconstruction? It does everything other major shoujo shows do, but with a very dark premise

>this shitty thread again

>>155810647
>stop talking about anime
Fine I saged for you

>>155807832
agree that good mahou shojo have lesbian in it.

>>155806969
Sailor Moon is honestly terrible and Madoka is much better than Nanoha.

>>155812860

take it back

You have to have at least one match for a good bait image

>>155805104
>I've only seen the first season.
That's your problem.

Sailor Moon has this thing called 'character development'.

>>155816280
There's no character development in the first 50 episodes. You just self insert as a shitty female character that is an even bigger jobber than the entirety of soul society.

Everyday is repost day.

But some are worst than others.

What the hell is key the metal idol?

Feels good.

>4 in a trilogy
Just rename them the "4 Cornerstones of Mahou Shoujo"
Also, replace Madoka for Sailor Moon

>>155810392
magical girl shows up until that point were pretty exclusively of the pretty pink happy variety, so subverting that with the goal of flipping the genre expectations on their head (including making the magical girls logical using the car fox) counts as a deconstruction

>>155817714
The movies I'd agree. But the show has that awful flash-forward

They generally ended like that, sure, but the trip there? No, not at all. Being meguca has always been suffering. The main difference in Meduka was that suffering wasn't overcome for the best ending, merely a mixed one. Homura should have made sure she collected all the hidden items to unlock the happy end.

>>155804958

replace sailor moon with CCS
