Ok, I just HAD to start it :) It isn't all fun and nice and cute.

What magical girl type series can you not stand?

I have tried and tried to watch and finish Pretty Cure, but I am almost through season 1 and I dread the other 4 seasons I have to suffer through.

Maybe it will get better ^^

OMG lol Yet another thing in common Aarana lol

Edit 12/23/2022 Since I wrote this post, my opinion changed from what I originally said.

I've tried watching Pretty Cure, but I just find no spark to it like with Sailor Moon, Full Moon, or Tokyo MewMew- I actually gave the first season a rewatch six years later...and I now really enjoyed the first season, but can't bear watching any of the other seasons because they just felt weak compared to the magical girl series I mentioned previously in 2008.

I've never watched Pretty Sammy, but pretty much looks alot like Pretty Cure I watched the OVA in 2020 and while I can't say it was amazing...it was a funny parody...I couldn't bear to watch past the first episode of the actual series so I guess Pretty Sammy still belongs on my worst list.

MaiHime -  Watched in 2022.....God I know this series is a favorite to some, but I suffered having to force myself to watch the entire first season (first anime I bothered doing that). Not going to bother with the second. It was worse then Ceres which I used to think was bad, but it grew on me over the years.

I dont have a long list mostly due to I avoid watching series that seem uninteresting to me. However some magical girl series I haven't bothered with are-

Revolutionary Girl Utena
Magic Knight Rayearth - Watched it in 2022...not a favorite but not worst either
Cutie Honey (I did watch the OVA though...and want to watch F....but not interested in any other seasons)  
Doremi (sorry but I find just simple witches anime not that interesting it's like watching a anime version of Sabrina the teenage witch or Bewitched)

PowerPuff Girls Z (I loved the CN original but amazingly the anime version killed my most favorite childhood series. They made them powerless and they're supposed romantic interest little kids, while they made the girls teens.)

This is tough. I like most magical girl shows. I even have a site devoted to the genre. XD

But I guess I am not as fond of shounen magical girl series. I usually prefer mahou shoujo series with an intended audience of girls. Shounen series tend to have too much annoying fanservice, or just don't feel right to me. They are just cashing in on the concept or something. Maybe I would like them more if they had no fanservice? Dunno ^^

My main exception is the first Pretty Sammy TV series :) For me, Pretty Sammy is all about the awesomeness of her carrot pajamas and her papa, the most skilled guy in all anime ^_^. He is amazing XD I was not a huge fan of Sasami Magical Girls Club.

Mai Otome - Sorry guys but I thought the first season was rather original, while the second series turned into a cliche, while killing all the old characters, or bringing them back just for guest appearances and to kill the story line ><

I totally agree with Utena.

I watched almost all of it, and the first season was great...till you got to the Black Rose Arc.

Finished it right before the last ep.

Magical Girl Pretty Sammy. I was insulted when I saw an episode of it. To me it just seemed to be mocking Sailor Moon, which has always been one of my favorite anime series. I can't even stand thinking about it.

Without a doubt its "Pretty Sammy" in my book, I found her personalty to be so annoying. Though the series itself was alright.

Seeing I haven't seen Pretty Sammy, I will go with Pretty cure season 3 and so on. The first characters from season 1 and I think 2 also, where great, but after that it went down hill..

Fushigi Yuugi Eikoden. It was horrible! I liked the actual series, but this is a fanfic made into a movie! And it was extremely unlikeable.

Ai to Yuuki no Pig Girl Tonde Buurin or perhaps better known as Super Pig... I mean, hello, a pig transformation? Perhaps that's the power of it, but okay. I don't really like it, but it was enjoyable when I was little, just for a while. Not now.

Ahh, the glorified fan fic. Yeah, totally not into it at all. After all the time they could have done something better :)

Ayashi no Ceres. Yup, hated it. The manga earned a 1 score (don't remember how many episodes of the anime I watched). I boycotted Watase Yuu for several years after that. The problem is mostly centered around Touya. The first chapter/episode is pretty interesting. Then he shows up and it's all downhill from there.

I am usually very attentive, so i can detect the shit-danger before watching it... so there is no magical girl show that i hated. but i can name two that bored me:
Sailor Moon (gomene, i didn't watch it in my childhood as everyone did)
Mahou no Yousei Persia (it's superrare) i liked the transformation scene and transformation shouts, but nothing more)

I haven't seen Pretty Sammy yet, but I think it's supposed to be a parody of the magical girl genre in the first place. So, it is sort of mocking Sailor Moon, but that was kind of the intent.

Well.. The worst I have seen so far is pretty much every pretty cure in their series for reasons:

• Lackluster plot
• Refusal to change
• Not dark enough
• Poor Characterization
• Makes Scrappy-Doo likeable
• Puts shame to the Magical Girl Genre
• SO MUCH MORE!!!!!!!!!!

So much more? What do you mean by that? Is it because of it's terrible writing? Or because the directer is too lazy ro think about the audience?
