Sally the Witch
Sally the Witch is widely known as the first Magical Girl anime starting out in Black and White in 1966. Unfortunately there aren't any clips on youtube that I could find, which sucks because the theme is way cooler than this 80's version. You get the idea though. She's an awesome magical witch girl!
Akko-Chan (Caroline)
I especially like this one because she has my name :-) , pretty lame, eh?
Candy Candy
I found a couple of Candy Candy comics at a local thrift which has really fueled my interest in this one. It really doesn't get much cuter than this.
Cutie Honey/Cutey Honey
I'm pretty new to Cutie Honey. I've been having a bitch of a time trying to track down episodes that aren't streaming on youtube. I did see the live action movie that came out six years ago and despite it's mediocre reception, I quite enjoyed it. Maybe I'll review it one of these days.
Majokko Megu Chan
This is a recent discovery too. In fact I haven't actually watched any entire episodes, but this opening was too good not to post!
Majokko Tickle
So up my alley.
Horry el Monstre de Xocolata
witches, monsters, toilet paper, et cetera et cetera
Patalliro
I have no idea what's going on here but I want everything to do with it.
Cybernella
The reggae theme is kind of puzzling.
Yatterman/Yattaman
One of the coolest animes ever! I also just found out that Takashi Miike made a live action version of this one last year. Very anxious to see it! I'll make it a priority to review it when I do!
This week's TV Tuesday is more along the lines of what I should be posting on Unicorn Wizard, so if you liked it subscribe to U.W. I get no love over there. If you didn't like it, sorry! I'll try to actually watch something show-like this coming up week so I won't take away perfectly good blogging material from my Unicorn spirit. Until next time!
have you seen Revolutionary Girl Utena? it was created by some of the same talent as Sailor Moon. it has the same girls-in-school vibe as well as a lot of the same gender-bending subtexts, but with an added depth - it gets pretty fucking dark and creepy, but never manages to lose that shiny girl vibe. if you haven't checked it out i recommend you do.
ReplyDeleteI think you left this comment in my other blog, haha. No I haven't but I will check it out.
ReplyDeleteThere's so much I wanna say about this that I've been putting it off all day. First of all, cool that you found these things! Secondly, I remember watching Sailor Moon back in the day after school, and one day I'm pretty sure they ran an episode of Candy Candy, either in place of Sailor Moon or in the time slot right after it. I remember it. There were a couple different magic girl (I'm guessing) type shows they ran for a week, they were along the same line as Sailor Moon, and that's all I can remember from that back then. I never would have thought to look back and try to remember that, but you were able to make me un-forget! Akko-chan does seem like it was made for you, with the magical kitty and all, too! Cutie Honey seems like its right up my alley, I like the 70's stuff. Majokko Megu chan looked ridiculous! But in a good way of course. :) It would be fun to watch a little mini-marathon of these shows I think. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYeah I couldn't figure out why it wasn't showing up on the site haha. At least it did eventually!
ReplyDeleteSailormoon was my first anime I have ever seen, also I like this blog.
