In our beautiful post-Madoka mahou shoujo world, there is only edge. This is one of those shows.

List of suffering MC has endured daily, both at school and home:

Attempted rape

Slashing/stabbing with boxcutters

Beloved cat was thrown in front of a train

Drowned in toilets

Beatings

Vandalized desk/seat

As she's nearing the breaking point and constantly dreaming about killing herself, she receives a magic stick from a shady website. Of course, not is all as it seems, and exploring what wacky and edgy situations our protagonists will find themselves in from here on is all the fun of these shows. And gratuitous gore, suffering, and deaths, of course.

Definitely a trend. Limiting ourself to anime alone, I'm sure there's been at least one every year since Madoka aired. Probably an untold number if you include manga as well. It might seem like a small number, but considering how wildly and viscerally different from traditional mahou shoujo these shows are, it's telling enough that they continue to have a presence at all.

I wish it would stop. Baiting and switching the audiences genre expectations only to slam them with despair and edge is a one-trick pony, already exhausted during Madoka's airing. These newer ones just poorly ape it, but without that one-two gut punch that Madoka pulled as the first of its kind. They compensate with retarded amounts of gore/despair/DEEPness/edge, but that's just missing the fucking point. At least this subgenre is now evolving itself to just pure unadulterated edge, with hardly any resemblance to Mahou Shoujo, but the stigma remains.

People blame Madoka but honestly I think Nanoha kicked off the "super serious" magical girl trend, Madoka just took it another step further.

Honestly I'm a sucker for the "edgy" magical girl shows, they're really fun to watch and it isn't like traditional mahou shoujo is going anywhere. There's always another season of Precure and they even brought back Cardcaptor Sakura (though I honestly dropped Sakura since it feels like a rehash of the original and a nostalgia cashgrab, but that's just me).

Shit, OP, I expected edge, but not this much. It's so over the top with it that it actually started being funny due to how ridiculous it is. It's like the author gets off on torturing the MC.

>I'm MC. I'm depressed and suicidal. I get bullied really hard at school. Teacher doesn't care. They even called in another bully to rape me. My big brother is a sadist who uses me as a punching bag to get rid of stress. Bullies killed my cat. A bully now wants to fuck up my mouth with a box cutter. Also I have permanent bags under my eyes and cry blood for some reason.

I was actually surprised she doesn't get shat on by her parents too – they're about the only people in her life that don't abuse her. I'll keep watching since I like edgy shows, but holy shit.

The TV anime is more light-hearted than the film versions, but I should clarify that I meant that was the first extremely popular franchise that took magical girls outside of kids anime territory. It still has more in common with a traditional mahou shoujo show than today's seinen-focused stuff. I just feel that was the show that got people to play around with the genre as years went by, and I don't think that's really a bad thing.

Edgy magical girls isn't nearly as prevailent or overdone as other anime trends have been in revent years. There's like 1-2 a year versus 3+ isekai shows, idolshit, and some crap based on gatchashit mobile games every single season. And even then you get some good stuff out of that on occasion.

Yes, you dumb bastard. This was Go Nagai's entire fucking M.O. when he penned Cutey Honey, Devil Man, and so on.

Watch more mahou shoujo. There's more impact in the season 1 finale of Sailor Moon than all 3 seasons of Nanoha. I'm still not entirely unconvinced they did that shitty bit in ep 7 for the sole purposes of waking up two-thirds of the audience who fell asleep over the prior six episodes of complete and utter dryness.

Aside that, Nanoha went full Super Robot season 2 and onwards.

Yes, he is very well known for his contributions to the genre. It's practically all he wrote :^) Cutey Honey did not make nearly the waves you suppose it did. You're also stretching incredibly hard to include Devil Man.

There are mature topics and themes in the genre, sometimes. That's obvious and nobody denies it. There has never been undiluted edge until Madoka.

Shh that shit didn't exist, Madoka apparently was the first time any magic girl has been nearly suicidal or homicidal or overly obsessed or extremely violent. Uta Kata doesn't exist and neither does Sailor Moon, Pretear, Kaitou Jeanne, or anything else that isn't either as pure as Precure or as cutting as Mahou Shoujo of the End. There's no middle ground and Nanoha somehow was the game-changer. This is why I'm against incest as it makes dipshits like him possible—singleminded faggots that walk in one direction backwards.

Cherry picking some shows, multiple years apart, that had zero lasting influence on the genre does not do you any favors, nor does it make you look any less stupid. Nobody gives a fuck about these shows. Nobody gave a fuck about these shows. They certainly didn't make waves or endlessly spawn progressively edgier iterations, like a certain infamous one. They came out, did their thing, and everyone moved on.

Your sole argument is conflating this new crop of blatant edgy gorefest MS with the occasional mature topics and themes of yesteryears'; In which case I can only laugh at you. You're fucking stupid and wrong.

The nature of creative industries means that it's rare for a fad or booming concept to be popular for more than a few years before a creator, either from being "artistic", being a crazy person, or just plain being angry at the industry itself, decides to throw a spanner in the works of any conventional formula.

Magical Girl Minky Momo came out in 82, and it basically ended with a fever dream set of episodes of Momo losing her powers, getting killed by being hit by a truck, being reborn, and then continuing on anyway due to contractual obligations. The stories about it say it was a backlash from the creators getting heated over problems with merchandising companies.

Post-Madoka dark megucas didn't get the point of Madoka. Madoka is often described as edgy, and it is, but it is mostly just really sad, and an endless string of shining a bit of hope on the protagonists just to punch you in the gut yet again. For fuck's sake, Sayaka's story hurts just because of how real it is, under all the surface level edge. Despite how cartoonishly righteous she is, there is a real person suffering from depression, broken dreams and low self esteem in there.

You can see Madoka was made with love by noticing how many details it has that are only noticeable on subsequent rewatches. The series pales in comparison to how balls to the wall they go in the movie, with all the hidden messages, symbolism, aesthetics and depth it has. There is a reason this fad is a thing, and it is that Madoka was VERY good at what they were doing; people hate Madoka for being the kickstarter, just like people hate Halo for killing FPS with its subsequent copycats, even though there is nothing wrong with them per se.

So, just like Halo copycats, they saw it was good, and decided to make a brainstorm of the shit they thought was what made the piece good, without actually understanding it. They picked up what they thought was cool, namely the blood, the death, the very little combat scenes Madoka has (specially the Elsa Maria fight, because they did not understand what Sayaka being a masochist actually meant), and the concept of despair and grief, but they didn't really get the reasons behind these, namely poor life choices anyone could make, because that is not cool.

So you end with hate-filled magical girls who kill without remorse without a reason, who are masochists who just laugh at their pain because that is cool, who are used as a punching bag by the plot usually due to reasons outside of their reach (whereas in Madoka, pretty much every single girl's demise was caused by their foolish but comprehensible actions), and general gratuitous violence everywhere. So you end up with something more akin to a shonen rather than a seinen inb4 demographics pedantry. It's as if every character was built out of pre-Sayaka Kyoko, even though she is the odd, edgy one, and Homura outright tells her so in the movie.

tl;dr just because being a meguca is suffering doesn't mean you should physically torture them just because. Madoka girls are never physically tortured save Sayaka, and even then it was just to make a simile with her emotional suffering. MADOKA IS NOT ABOUT BLOOD, IT IS ABOUT TEARS.

Pretty good analysis. If anything Madoka is still missing a true successor, despite all the copycats there are.

>So you end with hate-filled magical girls who kill without remorse

This could actually be a good premise, if characters motives and backgrounds had been left as a secret at first and were ambiguous to begin with. Imagine watching some gritty madoka clone in which the girls say they all had terrible pasts and that they were abused etc, just so later you find out they had it bad but it wasn't all that they made it out to be.

>turns out she was a bit of a problem child and although her father did slap her at some point it was with good reason

If you don't add a twist of this sort, you end with what Mahou Shoujo Site is

>the girls are heartless killers, emotionally numb

>but look at them suuuuufeeeeeeeeerrrr

>look how bad it was

>baaaaaaaaaaaaad

>This could actually be a good premise, if characters motives and backgrounds had been left as a secret at first and were ambiguous to begin with. Imagine watching some gritty madoka clone in which the girls say they all had terrible pasts and that they were abused etc, just so later you find out they had it bad but it wasn't all that they made it out to be.

Oh, no doubt, even if the end result after the twist would probably end up being the complete opposite of Madoka (empathising with good altruistic girls suffering versus hating some hypocritical and horrible girls' guts). Not a true successor to Madoka, but it's not like that's a bad thing at all, and in fact, it is probably a good thing to push the boundaries of art to explore new themes.

Something like that should be necessarily edgy, even if I guess it should be able to keep it classy in the same manner Madoka doesn't overextend Mami's death scene. It should be just about enough to make clear that the girls are doing terrible things, but not enough to make it murder porn, so to speak; it shouldn't attempt to convince the watcher/reader that being a terrible human being is cool, like many edgy anime do for cheap shock value and average angsty teenage weeb pandering.

You can explore some really deep themes if you attempt to make the reader question himself whether having a terrible past really explains, excuses or even justifies being an asshole. Madoka could have gone there with Kyoko, and in fact it dipped a bit on it, but it was not the focus of the series so it was left mostly as a sidenote. People are still divided to this day on whether Kyoko had a license to be a sociopath due to her extremely tragic past; I know I am with my friends, as I sincerely think she only somewhat redeemed herself after accepting Sayaka as her lady and saviour, but my friends swear by her, probably due to their more cynical outlook at people in general.

Keep a minority of cruel characters who really had a rough past. Maybe make them slightly more cruel than the other cruel girls. Make the reader (maybe even some more righteous characters as well) question themselves where to draw the line, and how cruel should a past be to justify certain actions. Obviously, asked like that it sounds absurd, but somehow when applied to certain characters people answer differently, so it is an idea worth rethinking.

Keep a neutral stance, and maybe you will click on some people's heads. People appreciate ideas more when they come with them themselves, which is why most works of art with heavy-handed messages just suck.


 No.23239

perhaps we shouldn't compare these edgy shows to madoka then; there should probably just be a genre: "edge for the sake of edge" shows like magical girl raising project or berserk don't fight it you know its true or gantz the anime at least (don't watch it please)

ep 2 seems to have toned down the edge a lot by the way, but maybe that's just because they needed to do expositiondump. really expected them to drag out the whole 'magical girl killer' thing the entire season so no idea where they're going to go from here.

I'm gonna bring the philosophy poser in me out for just a second, excuse me:

This is what Nietzsche was talking about when addressing nihilism in a critical manner (something people forget, they usually think Nietzsche was pro-nihilism). I can't find the exact quote, but he used to mention that a tragic past doesn't necessarily excuses bad behaviour, since you still have the option to do good, as people often do. Otherwise all poor people would be evil scheming bastards.

MC is a stupid and rude bitch who refused to acknowledge or even notice the many olive branches Sarina went out of her way to extend to this ingrate over the week/months. She risked her social position many times trying to help a disgusting and despised person who wouldn't even give something as simple as a fucking 'thanks,' even when confronted about it. She just wanted to be the ultimate bro and uplift Aya from the ugly duckling into her group of Stacey's, but all she received was a slap in the face every single time without even an explanation.

Haven't hated a MC like this for quite a while. Her entire rant was just self-absorbed, vapid, and hypocritical whining. And that very egocentricism is precisely what pushed a spurned Sarina to bully her in the first place. She cries hard when Sarina tells her she's a hypocritical ugly bitch who should just die because she understands it's true. She knows it. I know it. You know it. Everyone watching along in the audience knows it.

She deserved absolutely everything that happened to her. I can only pray that Nijimi and Sarina fuck her shit up while leaving Tsuyuno unscathed because she has done nothing wrong besides shack up with a retarded piece of shit.

It's retarded but you can actually explain that one away. Apparently, according to the manga, the time stopping ability uses up your life at an extremely high rate while you're using it. Stopping time for a short period of time and teleporting everyone would just save the blondes life force so she can use it later. The show should have explained that but they really didn't.

Sarina is even smarter than Aya and the overrated Tsuyuno, and going by the mango seemed to be the first one to guess that the site admins are lying likes which is why Nana immediately killed her. I could see the author reviving her by Volume 5 because the mango fans requested it. And even after all that shit she, despite being the reason why the gutless MC wanted to kill herself but never even so much as cut her wrists, still rescued MC with Aya's own shitty Portal gun. She was pretty right when she said now they're even.
