Magilumiere!
Monday, October 21st, 2024 04:02 pmI read the first few volumes of Magilumiere a few months ago, and I'm hyped to see the anime series starting! It's magical girls fused with the tech industry and somehow it works really well
Henshin sequences for the leads so far!
Mahou webcomics
Thursday, October 17th, 2024 03:53 pmA recent permutation of my big genre projects has been tracking anglosphere magical girl webfiction, including prose serials and webcomics. except I haven't actually found that many webcomics, but I wanted to share what I had anyway
The first one is much earlier than the other two, much closer to Sailor Moon's weekly airings. The second two are very post-Madoka takes, and I wouldn't be surprised if Shattered Stars was directly inspired by Sleepless Domain, the major characters even have a similar color scheme
anyway if you know more lemme know
Site update - Mahou Timeline
Wednesday, September 25th, 2024 11:07 pmFirst few entries in the magical girl timeline are up! Most of it speaks for itself, but I find it interesting how it was VERY much a Toei brand thing for a few years there. Also better reception in Italy than expected, which explains Winx Club somewhat.
I think my ideal timeline format would let me do more with showing what's ongoing across different years, but I'm satisfied with what's here already.
Up next is probably either mecha timeline, filling out the freeware page, or pulling together the links page. I saw a "a website is like a model train set" analogy which... is starting to feel accurate hahahahaha.
