I'm honestly not sure what it succeeds at being, cause it's not a show I would ever recommend to a girl looking for another show like Sailor Moon, since it might not be appropriate for a girl under a certain age and wouldn't give them what they were looking for anyway, but I guess it just succeeds at being itself. It's definitely a unique show.



And notice that Madoka Magica is second on that list, only losing out to a Hayao Miyazaki film, and who doesn't come in second to Hayao Miyazaki?

Hmmm, I see; perhaps I'll watch that one then (well, after I rewatch either Jem, He-Man, or Gargoyles, or the X-Files), seeing as it's on the netflix.
And I like Sailor Moon! (Because I am a cornball.)

Miyazaki films are so excruciatingly adorable that they can be difficult to watch; Ponyo nearly killed me. Need to see the more recent two soon.
