What were some of your childhood MG anime? The ones you view with rose-tinted nostalgia specs now (regardless of whether or not they hold up!)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MAN EMBARASSMENT TIME.

For me it was Winx Club. Just… Winx Club. The 4kids dub. Which aired on Toonami when I was in high school. Ugggggh that show is so dumb and yet I loved itttttt. It is the epitome of everything that is wrong with girl-aimed media, and I normally hate shit like that, but IDEK you guys. It’s my ultimate guilty pleasure.

That’s about the only one. I didn’t get into MG anime until college; the other anime I watched as a kid were all fighting shonen (YYH, RuroKen, Yugioh, Cyborg 009 <—-BEST SHOW EVER, etc). Though I distantly recall watching some bits of Sailor Moon as a kid (maybe at a friend’s house) because that show has a bit of nostalgia shine on it. And I have hella nostalgia for that hokey English Sailor Moon theme song. It’s like the Pokemon theme song — if you’re of a certain age, it’s just ingrained in your brain.

tell me how a series that empowers girls and has a diverse cast and is literally all you could ever ask for in a series aimed at little girls “everything that is wrong with media aimed at young girls”
