Magical Girl
is a subgenre of Japanese fantasy media (including anime, manga, light novels, and live-action media) centered around young girls who possess magical abilities, which they typically use through an ideal alter ego into which they can transform. The genre emerged in 1962 with '' Himitsu no Akko-chan'', followed by '' Sally the Witch'' in 1966 produced by Toei Animation. A wave of similar anime produced by the studio in the 1970s led to being used as a common term for the genre. In the 1980s, the term was largely replaced by "magical girl", reflecting the new popularity of shows produced by other studios, including '' Magical Princess Minky Momo'' and '' Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel''.

The growth of late-night anime in the early 2000s led to a demographic shif ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
