Go granny! Odd one tho
Foffer
Iv not seen that one show with the magical girls. But I know this is not gonna end good.
robliodan
That one show actually ended fairly well (if bittersweet) - although I've heard the movie sequel screwed things up.

robliodan
SWEET! I'm totally going to follow this manga.
HandsomePenguin
Them tags though.
AntRam95
Which one, the “donotdie” one or the “shegotlesshot” one?
HandsomePenguin
yes
kittykat25909
is this waluigis grandmother? "wah wah wahhhhhh"
ABluntForce
It might be Waluigisnack.

Looks cute, but that wand looks awfully much like a warhammer.

There's a manga called "Can you become a magical girl?" https://imgur.com/yyJuTG7

So she looks 13, but is really 70+. That will go over well

Somebody needs to read Looking Up To Magical Girls...
iknowitsnotbutter
Magical girls apocalypse is pretty fun as well.
SoraHjort
Someone needs to watch "Is YOUR Daughter a Magical Girl?!" PSA, warning parents about the dangers of their child becoming a Magical Girl.
PowwerOrb13
I assume you're talking about the PSA sponsored by the Anime Pope himself?
SoraHjort
Why, yes, yes I am!

I think that was the point

Hentai has made me excited to see tentacle monsters vs magical girls

Ever seen the PSA warning parents about the dangers of their daughters becoming Magical Girls? https://youtu.be/z2gEkdPZOM8

Just read the 3 chapters to this manga. It's nice.
22ndCenturyTransient
Kyubey did nothing malicious and could arguably said its only crime was not giving a very in depth job description unprompted.
robliodan
Yeah, I think Kyubey was just alien enough that it didn't understand why the truth was so traumatic for the girls. Not deliberately evil.
Odyssey9
Suddenly I want a fantasy story about an order of elderly that swear an oath to be the first to put themselves in danger for the young. WANT
StanielRonathan
There's also one about a muscleman PE coach becoming a magical girl after the fairies come to his apartment instead of the kid next door-

StanielRonathan
He forcibly takes the job from them before they could leave, refusing to let them put a child in the sort of danger they described, saying-
StanielRonathan
his perfect muscles are better suited. So imagine a ChoAniki figure in a magical girl costume.
Odyssey9
I'm suddenly reminded of "Is This a Zombie?" Funny anime. The magical girl-bro is also a zombie. His waifu is a necromancer.

Soooo... a reverse shazam ?

Fuck Kyubey
wolfpreist
Look up Maho Shujo Tokushuusen, it dont remember the Translation but Magic Girls who fought a Magic War and have PTSD
IamtheGinger
What is this from? It looks adorable!
Leonon
It's a parody of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", which is full of cheery lies.
SoraHjort
Whaaat? Nooooo. Also: Is YOUR Daughter a Magical Girl? A PSA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2gEkdPZOM8
BladedSpell
Doesnt seem to be from anything. Everyone's saying Madoka Magica cause she's in that one frame but Im fairly certain thats just a reference
MajyykPhD
It's literally just Depressed Kyubey. That is intellectual property of Madoka Magica - even if this is a fan comic that's still Kyubey
yindoom
the cat thing is very clearly from madoka, unless that's just a magical girl staple, which seems weird
BladedSpell
Its Kyuubey-like, but its not Kyuubey. The "Cute fairy thing that gives magical girls their power" is a pretty common thing.
BladedSpell
Besides, just cause it looks like kyuubey doesnt mean its from anything OFFICIALLY Madoka Magica. Its a stand alone fan comic most likely
KovnikJoe
Go watch Madoka Magika and get back to us on that one.

Maybe don't do that.

That show has taught me too never trust cute little critters, now whenever I see one I pull out my trusty 12 gage...

Is that a bad thing?
AstartesLibrarius
One of my AdMech characters in Darkest Hour had a Servo Skull named Bob the Servo Skull. It died bonking a HereTek Magus in the head. 1/2
AstartesLibrarius
With the 40k equivalent of C4 bricks. With an improvised impact fuse. That failed to activate twice. It was fucking glorious. And funny. 2/2
jonathantoast
Is this an actual series?
DigiT00l
It's a reference to Madoka magical girl or something like that, it's very dark, as in very dark
AnaAmari
https://mangadex.org/title/35989/grandma-in-the-magical-girl
DoseOfScience
To be fair to Madoka, the costume was the least about that universe that was fucked up.
Insomnia297
Not that ut was all that dark to begin with. Someone told me it would be and I was thoroughly disappointed.
KovnikJoe
Fucking kyuubei.
IMainReinhardt
Nah mate. Had this same argument before. Kyuubei didnt actually do anything wrong. 1/?
IMainReinhardt
Think about it. His purpose was to gather energy from the MagiGirls and witches to battle entropy and the inevitable death of the universe
IMainReinhardt
Sure that meant the condemnation of dozens of girls but weigh that with the literal infinity of the cosmos and it seems a fair trade off 3/4
IMainReinhardt
Sure it was questionable, but in the end isnt the sacrifice worth it? Trading a few lives for the very universe makes sense, nah? 4/4

DigiT00l
Like trying to avert entropy through the power of lollis, wut?
IMainReinhardt
Kyuubei did nothing wrong. You cant change my mind.
DigiT00l
It's a good cause, the excecution though?
IMainReinhardt
If the end justifies the means, then most people can rationalize anything. I'm sure there are better ways, but this one is proven to work
limonchiki
When the first witch appeared, I thought "oh, that's what it's like to be on drugs"
bigbrother
in the Magical Girl category that's also fucked up: Mahou Shoujo Tokushusen Asuka
kojenk
What about mahou shoujo ai?
Zerreth
No no. He said "fucked up" not "all the way through"
Krono562
Yuuki Yuna is a Hero is a bit fucked up as well.

AntRam95
Old ladies would make more sense as magical girls, they have decades of experience dealing with people, plus they could have learned almost

how to suck the villain's enormous dong.
AntRam95
They do it so well he gives up evil and becomes a hero
AntRam95
Anything in the years they’ve been alive, unlike the schoolchildren
LdaQuirm
Look up "Old Mans War". It's this premise in a Sci-fi setting.
MintPaste
Also they are technically legal. Huhuhuhu.

What is this magical girl thing and why is it a thing in Japan?
robliodan
Fun fact: I believe the American show 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' helped prompt the genre's genesis.
Zerreth
1. Girls with superpowers (magic) who save the day episodically. 2. Then: To sell toys to girls. Now: 'Cause It's a subgenre you can write
StanielRonathan
Because in the 70s they started writing more pieces explicitly aimed at girls? Basic market principles. The originals like Sally the Witch-

were low action, magic was mostly just used to disguise the kid as an adult or to perform otherwise mundane actions.Fighting monsters didn't

The real MVP
HonestCommentFarmer
So we've got so much deconstruction of older manga genres like Magical Girls and Mecha. I wonder when we'll get the newer ones like Isekai.
BlankMage
Re:Zero comes to mind. GATE to a lesser extent.
RogueVector
It's already happening.
HonestCommentFarmer
Name some please.
RogueVector
Grimgar, Log Horizon, Konosuba off the top of my head; they play with the tropes of isekai (psychological, social, and parody respectively)
BlankMage
Log Horizon doesn't just show how isekai characters deal with the world, but how the world deals with isekai characters.
