While I think that Zefyris is to radical in his statement that "Madoka did not make anything that wasn't made before" where were quite enough dark magical girls shows before it and magical girl shows that oriented for older male audience while not being a "pedobait". It is not so hard to make a list if you research a bit.

Could you list some for me? I didn't find any :3

But... it may of course depend on your definition of "magical girls". I would detail it as 1) some average teenage/preteen girls living in the real world who 2) gets contacted by some magical creature and given the power to 3) transform into a magical girl, allowing them to 4) fight the forces of evil. That is what i consider has become big enough staples to define a genre. Madoka hits all these points, as does Yuuki Yuuna, and """adult""" versions like Moetan and Vividred Operation hits most. But when i search anidb with the "magical girl" tag there is a lot more that shows up, like ordinary fantasy shows in fantasy worlds that happen to feature a girl main character. I don't think that's the same thing, but maybe i'm pedantic ¯\(ツ)/¯

Even Maho-shojo article on TV-tropes contains a bunch. It is not so hard to search.

I did search. And i didn't find anything. That's exactly what i said. Now maybe anidb sucks, or maybe i suck, but then you coould make your point better. By giving an example, for example.
