Nice, looks good!

Welcome koyu! My wife and I got into Pretty Cure about... maybe 3 years ago? It's a fun series!

Amazon Japan and Yahoo Auctions Japan have lots of things but I'm guessing a lot of it wouldn't ship to the U.S. You could still try Amazon U.S. though. I feel like we may have gotten a Pretty Cure art book from there while we still lived in the states.

Suite is a good one. I love its music! View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i21traSvIVU&list=PLF857A2441B6BDDC6&index=31 One of the comments in that video links to 1:20 in the song. When that part starts I may or may not tear up a little... That music combined with scenes about forgiveness...

My wife is going to help with the art and story, but she's not actively working on the game at the moment. She's done some prototype art and we've talked about story quite a bit, but she'll be able to do more once the gameplay basics are more in place. And it is hard work! I have to keep a lot...

I think I'll have to go with Honoka. When I started Max Heart I was really excited to see what they would do with Hikari, and it felt like exploring her relation to the Queen and how all that would work out could be an intriguing mystery... but they didn't explore it nearly as deeply as I had...

I feel like different seasons have different strengths, so partly it depends on what I'm in the mood for, but out of the seasons I've seen I feel like HeartCatch is the most consistently good throughout. Suite Pretty Cure comes pretty close though!

Congratulations to everyone on their former victories! ...now I win?

This is tricky... I actually like Hikari as a character, but I will admit she wasn't especially well utilized... hmm... I'll have to think about this some more...

I'm glad you like the sound of it! We're not quite ready to show anything off yet, but I really like the current direction the game is headed in. Right now I'm working on finalizing the basic mechanics (What the player can do, how enemies and different objects in the world work and interact...

I thought it was a fun interpretation of the Powerpuff Girls too! And yeah, it always feels uncomfortable when you come to those types of unnecessary scenes. That's part of why my wife and I tend to gravitate towards anime/manga that are for a younger target audience, like Powerpuff Girls Z and...

The first thing that comes to mind is Powerpuff Girls Z. I'm not sure if it counts as a spinoff, but it's sort of a more overtly magical girl re-imagining of the original Powerpuff Girls. Granted they were kind of magical girls before, but more in a western cartoon superhero sort of way. I...

No mental energy... can't think of anything to talk about. Anyone else have anything interesting they want to discuss?

Sorry, the title change is my fault... sometimes I don't stay on topic very well. I haven't looked into it extensively, but Saintia Sho does seem like sort of a more shonen-y version of a Magical Girl series, but that makes sense since it looks like it's a spin-off of a shonen manga/anime...

Change of thread title... good call! Sometimes shorter anime are nice. Is it a pretty big cliffhanger that it ends on, and do you know if they're planning on concluding it at some point?

How much does it tie in with the Saint Seiya series? I haven't seen either, but Is Saintia Sho a good standalone series, or is it better if you've seen Saint Seiya first?

One of the shows you mentioned was Saintia Sho. It has a fun art style. What do you like about that one?

I don't know about anyone else, but I love making lists and categorizing things! For this thread I think I'll make a list of different Magical Girl anime by "type". Examples of Types: Warrior, Magical Idol Singer, Cute Witch (I stole those from...

That's interesting. And now it seems like there are a lot of different types of Magical Girl shows to appeal to a lot of different people. It's kind of hard for me to tell what counts as a Magical Girl show these days!

Definitely! Good role models for both genders are nice to have :) And a while ago you mentioned how much the Magical Girl genre has changed over the years. What kind of changes have you noticed?
