Tbh Sailor Moon had a bunch of dark stuff happening in it. I feel like many ppl tend to forget it cuz of how ppl gloss over and watch the first few episodes or read the first few chapters. Only difference is it was a lot more subtle than a lot of "dark" magical girl shows today. Also there were just a lot of messed up stuff happening in Sailor Moon, tht if u rewatched the show as an adult u would just go "how TF was this a kids anime??" Princess tutu was also pretty dark so idk why everyone keeps thinking tht the older magical girl shows were lighthearted. Madoka Magica is the only modern one which handled the dark themes well with its unique and unsettling ost and animation (i loved how they animated the enemies) without trying to come off as edgy. Would have added WEP if it didn't have such a shitty and uncohesive story later on. It had so much potential. Welp thts just my opinion.

have you ever read the manga? I got the first 2 books when I was 13 ... and it was hard. The last 6 books are just brutal and then I was like 16. I never told my mum about it, because I wanted the rest of the books, but damn. That is no Kids material. The last books should be marked PG18 in my opinion. The TV-Show was sooooo mellowed down compared to it.

Truth. Literally all the Inner Senshi (all there were at the time) *died* at the end of the first series. True, re-incarnation is part of their destiny but they didn't know that at the time and they all (temporarily?) lost their memories of each-other.
To be completely honest, when you really think about what it actually means to be a magical girl, you understand that no matter how it’s portrayed it’s a somewhat dark subject matter. Madoka Magica did a great job showing this but I think that it’s true for all magical girl animes.

[Spoilers for sailor moon] I think this video is pretty accurate to how brutal these new magical girl shows can get, but there were some parts of original magical girl shows, specifically sailor moon, that were pretty dark. In act 1 of sailor moon near the end, all of sailor moons friends die brutally, one by one, and she just has to watch them. Even her lover is dead and she has barely any hope. In the manga you also learn that before she was reborn on earth, princess serenity killed herself 😬 I could keep going but sailor moon is a lot deeper than a cutesy magical girl show. The reason that it's different from these shows is that it takes an optimistic approach instead of being straight up torture corn.

@@lenleon3699 I agree, madoka spawned clones (wixoss anyone?) in attempts to milk it, some poorer than others (mahou shoujo site feels like someone saw madoka and thought death was all that it was about, and decided to do only that but more edgy. At least wixoss tried to play at the same themes of despair as madoka did, even if subpar and lacking any of the surprise the unexpected genre-shift in madoka had). But there were dark parts of even the most iconic earlier ones shown in this video (though I don't remember enough of cardcaptor and sailor to actually point out anything specific). Nanoha and her friends might have still had plot armor (so not that much death), but they still encountered tragedies, and side characters lacked it. And the spinoff were literally about bully-victim with superhuman strength snapping and crushing skulls in school.

There's something captivating about taking something so inherently pure and cute like the magical girl genre and twist it; I think that's why creepypastas or things of that nature have remained so prevalent. It's that base instinct to inquire what would happen if something so "good" was given a bit of darkness.

Homuras is just based, her firearms are american-based, and it truly brings a gritty feel for the scene. You can outright cosplay her and bring your favorite M4 and its canon.

In all honesty, the Sailor Moon manga was actually pretty brutal and violent at times. The Sailor Moon series in general featured Magical Gril vs Magical Girl (they literally wanted to kill each other sometimes (and a few succeeded)), yandere characters (even Sailor Neptune was a yandere character (stalker + willing to destroy the world if it saves Sailor Uranus' life) in the 90s anime), gay characters, cross-dressing characters, suicide, psychological horror (SuperS manga), nsfw moments between Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask (manga only (censored from Sailor Moon Crystal)), etc. Another fun fact is that Sailor Senshi (what the magical girls from Sailor Moon are called) possess Sailor Crystals and they function the same way Soul Gems from Madoka Magica worked. Apparently, a Sailor Senshi's body can even be restored, as long as, their Sailor Crystals remain. This is also what allows Sailor Senshi to constantly reincarnate and if someone has a powerful enough healing power (*cough*Sailor Moon*cough*), they can even restore their previous bodies. So Sailor Moon beat Madoka Magica to it on that concept too.
It's the result when the writers decided the girls were too OP. But instead of nerfing the magical girls, they instead buffed the threats they face. In a way, by doing this takes away the feeling of security, as there's less room to justify that the protagonist's loss could not happen

- This video is overly silly, generalized, and cherry picked. MGRP has nothing of value, but just because the genre has changed somewhat doesn’t mean it’s dead. If anything, Madoka breathed some sorely needed new life into the genre. The old shows are still available to watch, they haven’t gone anywhere. A new take on our childhood innocence is great, in moderation that people might say doesn’t exist because all we’ve gotten in the 2010s is grimdark and parodies. That’s not true. Lots of old shows like Princess Tutu were dark takes on the genre before Madoka. Even the new shows aren’t so dark, because they often end by tying back to the genre’s roots of the power of love and friendship, even if there may be a tragic twist. I’d argue that Yuki Yuna is a Hero plays closer to tradition than Madoka, and doesn’t deserve to be called an imitator. There’s shows that have existed into the 2010’s that don’t fall into “grim dark” like Precure, Jewelpet, Little Witch Academia, that one series made by a car company, and plenty of other shows if you know where to look. Kids are still capable of watching and enjoying plenty of these new shows; I speak from experience because I grew up on The Last Unicorn, which is not a kids movie. The fact that the magical girl genre has evolved proves it has staying power. And I haven’t even gotten to western magical girl shows, of which there are plenty.

I like the fact it didn't need sexual tension or any addition points to make it good, the plot was good enough to to attract.

Pretty Precure isn't completely rainbow and sunshine either. In one of their episodes, Cure March's siblings were attacked by Majorina as she tried to hit them with a giant orb of energy. Luckily they survive, however they made it seem that they died until the very last moment. In the Glitter Force dub you could here their voices so you already knew they were alive.

The one that turned into a buff dude as a magical girl transformation is actually a hilarious anime. Compare to other current magical girl anime it's not too dark despite it humour. Kinda like a normal magical girl anime but with adult humour and unexpected twist. Definitely not creepy pasta level tho
this is why i watch anime from the 90's
One important thing to note though is that when the whole series is as cutesy and fun throughout like in Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor, it makes those dark and emotional moments all the more powerful due to the contrast.

The reason madoka worked so well is that magical girls represent hope, purity, and that child like innocence. They say that a light shine brightest in the dark. Madoka is still that hopeful, innocent girl who wish the best in a not so good world. The other "dark" magical girls are just depressing and there is no hope.

Sailor moon was a dark magical girl anime I’m pretty sure all of them were in sailor moon (spoilers) at the last episode of season one all of them got impaled and or got pulled underground in a icy hell by very powerful villains. Madoka magica was not the first dark magical girl anime it was just not so hidden like others as well as all the anime’s you see in this video

Not at all. It's ironic how little the person who made the video knows about Sailor Moon, because it's actually a dark series that the anime tried to lighten up. It's obvious that they were one of the people that got distracted from what actually happened in the series. If you think being a Magical Girl back then stops suffering, I'm guessing you aren't exactly familiar with Sailor Saturn at all.
