Day 21

[collarnojutsu]

The trappings archetypal elements of the magical girl genre made it pretty easy for me to narrow this down to a couple of choices, but boy, what a tough time those two ended up giving me. I might still be waffling over who gets top billing even as I type this.

Does Shakugan no Shana count as Mahou Shoujo? Because I'm not going to lie, black trenchcoat + sword = most awesome uniform ever.

Not gonna lie, trenchcoats make me swoon. But I don't have moe for little girls in trenchcoats though, so put that on a nice, tall dude and call me. XD

Well, I can go with Mami if that works better I suppose^^ (I'll say the fanart versions, so I sound at least slightly less like a pervert^^)

[collarnojutsu]

Haha! Silly, you can have Shana if you like Shana! I totally like Shana's coat, but she's just a little small for *my* tastes. Quick, go give that coat to Utena! XD

(I really wish the modern anime designs were less pervy feelings- inducing, yeeeaahh.)

Ha, Cardcaptor Sakura was the first one that crossed my mind (not least because having her crazed fangirl stalker friend make all the outfits is such a funny excuse). But I don't have a good enough memory of the show to name one favorite from among her outfits.

Fortunately for you, I have a link ... because it's related to the bonus game! ;)

I have a link <- Fandom is scary obsessive.

I just laughed and laughed and laughed at your comment.

Although Sakura does spring to mind easily because she has so many costumes, my favorite is Kaitou Jeanne. I have a real soft spot for it, because it was one of the first manga series I owned.

[collarnojutsu]

Wow, I don't remember her being sooo blond? *lol*

OK, since you picked this, I have to say something. I swear I am not making this up!! When I was going over my magical girl series, I saw Jeanne on the shelf and I thought "Nah..... oh, but spacealien_vamp will pick this one." I have no idea how I would know this, or why I would even associate you so clearly with it, yet it popped in my mind *so* surely. Weird? Old, dusty memory resurfacing? Cosmic Connection?
