Frills of Justice

Hey there guys! I thought I'd pop in with a recommendation that I figured at least some of y'all would be interested in: the Youtube series Mahou Profile, by Youtube user ErynCerise! It's a series designed to track the creation and development of the magical girl genre from the very beginning: part history, part analysis, and part Eryn's personal opinion of various milestone series in the magical girl genre. It's super informative and sparks some interesting thoughts on what makes magical girls "magical girls," and the elements that have been trendy and dropped from the genre over time! The vids are pretty in-depth, so it doesn't update incredibly frequently, but the vids currently out are definitely worth a watch and I would recommend keeping an eye on it over time!

Mahou Profile also has a planned companion series, Mahou Mini, in order for Eryn to do more brief reviews of current/ongoing magical girl series, considering that she likely won't be making it to modern-day series for QUITE a while in the main Mahou Profile series. Thus far she's only reviewed Magical Girl Site (spoilers: she did NOT like it), but I'm sure there's more to come!

Anyway, it's nice to meet you all, and I hope this comm (and DW fandom in general!) takes off the ground! :)
