How to make a good dark magical girl anime (comparing a few shows)
So I’ve recently got into the dark magical girl genre and I thought I would make a comparison between a few of them. The shows I will be comparing are Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero, Symphogear, Daybreak Illusion, Vividred Operation and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
Right off the bat you can already tell that a staple of DMGs is a very long name that most people are gonna shorten and some are gonna shorten the shortening (and that makes no sense I’m sorry). I probably should’ve mentioned that there tends to be at least one that deviates (in this case Symphogear and probably Daybreak Illusion and Vividred)
Anyway, next up we are going to be looking at characters. The main characters are pink (Madoka and Yuuna), orange (Hibiki and Akari), red (Akane) or pink with a blue colour scheme (Nanoha) magical girls with a close (*cough* romantic *cough*) relationship with another magical girl. Madoka Kaname is ‘very close friends’ with Homura Akemi, Yuuna Yuuki has a couple-like relationship with Mimori Tougou, Hibiki Tachibana is literally roommates with Miku Kohinata (not actually a magical girl but did at one point have superpowers and the ability to transform) also they share a bed, Nanoha Takamachi and Fate Testarossa are supposed to be together (I’ll admit I haven’t really watched much of MGLN yet sorry), Akari Taiyou is probably meant to be with Luna Tsukuyomi but I personally ship her with Seira Hoshikawa because of the red and blue (well, orange and purple) aesthetic as well as their personalities working well together and Vividred Operation is the closest you can find to a yuri harem (when they fuse one of them literally ends up kissing the other, tell me that’s not yuri!)
Now might be a good time to mention that I haven’t watched much of Nanoha or Vividred lol but I think I’ve watched enough of the others to make a *decent* comparison. In all of these shows except Vividred, Symphogear and Yuuki Yuuna (although there are past heroes) there are more magical girls than just the main cast. Basically, it’s important to make a LOT of girls suffer (this is where I remember that I should probably add in Magical Girl Raising Project - too late now and I haven’t watched enough of it to make a comparison either).
Counterpart characters:
The main character: a brave girl who is willing to do anything to befriend and protect people. Probably has either fire powers, flower powers or light powers. Oh and at least one girl is in love with her. But she doesn’t always reciprocate those feelings (time for some HANAHAKI!). One more thing: there’s a one-in-three chance she’s voiced by Aoi Yuuki
The Tsundere/Yandere Lesbian
Usually purple but can be blue or even green! Uhh... I didn’t want to add gifs for any others because it would get too much. Not always tsunderes/yanderes but usually are so ye but when they are it tends to be a mixture of the two
The villain creature
PMMM: Witches
yuyuyu: Vertexes
Symphogear: Noise
Daybreak: Daemonia
Vividred: Alone
Nanoha: none that I’m aware of but I haven’t watched much so ye idk
You know what, I’ll let you look up the rest of the similarities and differences lol. but I’ll just mention who they’re made for. Madoka is for people who like despair, suffering and death, Yuuki Yuuna is for people who want pain but not death (and also there is a lot of fanservice so if you don’t like tits, why are you watching it?), Symphogear is for people who want one or two characters to die but not a lot and are okay with a bit of blood (warning, Tsubasa attempts to commit suicide by singing her swan song one episode), Daybreak Illusion is for people who want very cute girls who only really change hair and accessories to suffer along with their superhero teachers (don’t question it), Vividred is for people who like fusions and/or think there should be more yuri harem (aka I need to get on with watching it!) and Nanoha is for people who would like to see their favourite lesbian couple grow up (they’re 9 to begin with and in the most recent one they’re like 23)
