Which ones and which ones did you like?

I've watched most of them but my favorites are Fancy Lala, Lalabel and Minky Momo.

A few years late after you asked this question, but I wanted to have more series completed before I answered you to give a better answer. When you first asked this question I believe only Lala and Creamy Mami were the only non fighting magical girl series I had seen at the time, and I didn't grow up with neither of those. It was Creamy's 30th anniversary.

Since then I've watched Ultra Maniac (yes soaring_wings it is magical girl no doubt) and I enjoyed it more then I thought I would, also watched bits of Mint. And as for manga if ION counts as a magical girl(still feel unsure on that one) Pixie Pop, Gaba Kawa(also unsure on Gaba Kawa). It's a shame Himechan Ribbon was never liscensed in English.

I plan to watch at some point Akko-chan and LunLun. Looking forward to Akkochan since I've wanted to watch that for years....but the spanish dub for it is hard to find.

About Akko-chan I can say that it is really good actually pretty much all of the 1966-1980 Toei Majokko series shows are really good though I would say my favorite of them is Sally and after that Akko. Also about Akko I'd say that the origial series is the best one, the 1988 reboot is about as good as the original but has bit different feel, the 1998 version isnt as good I'd say. The 2014 live action Akko movie is kind of a different beast as its more of a regular office drama that is disguised as Akko so I was bit dissappointed.

I've got to agree with you on the live action. I remember being excited when it was first announced back in 2012 (Im kind of suprise it was at that year since it seemed like it happened a bit later in my head...maybe the translation caused this feeling) but when I finally watched it I was also disappointed...it felt little like Akko-chan from the bits I've seen so far of the anime....the live action was all about some little girl wanting to be a woman and crushing on some grown man.......while the original series never gave off that strange feel from the plot descriptions alone.

Actually the movie came out in 2012 I mixed up the year I think it was that year also Akko chan original manga 50th anniversary.

Also yeah the akko series wasn't anything like the movie which I think was kinda weird it's like they didn't even want to make movie about Akko and wanted to make regular office drama and then just made it about Akko at the last second.
