| bumping for slightly off-topic of adding magical girl genre (because I searched and this is the closest I got). I've gotten the "oh there's already a 'magic' genre" but searching the magic genre returns roughly infinite things - a very small percentage of which are magical girl series. |

kuuderes_shadow said: Shoujo is not a genre. what I was trying to say is that mahou shoujo IS a genree and it was UNDER the shoujo audience (?) they only started to change the audience nowdays (5-10 years) with titles like Puella Madoka Magica just to say a more famous one And pls dont do quote chains |
