No reason you can't be magical, just because you're not a girl. Love making!

I don't think Madoka Magica is supposed to make you WANT to be a magical girl... but fair enough.

That depends. Clearly she's the type of person that would spoiler[sacrifice her humanity to make others happy.]

Sadly, this kind of "deeper meaning" (i don't think it was hidden at all) seems to go over the head of all the haters that claim the series has no substance.

Now I want him to watch Magical Girl Raising Project, so he can see that he, too, can become a magical girl. Laughing

Although DAIGO said that he can't become a magical girl because he is a man...


He does know that magical boys do exist, right...? Isn't Tuxedo Mask considered a magical boy? Or is he just a prince?

If he isn't considered a magical boy, there's the boys from Shugo Chara!.

While we're on this topic, are there any other manga/anime that have magical boys? I'm curious. I know there's also Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE!, but I always considered that more of a parody on the genre since it was so ridiculous.

Someone needs to hook Daigo up with some Star Driver.

Also, isn't Miraculous Ladybug airing in Japan somewhere?

He was basically saying that his wife wanted to be a magical girl and he couldn't become a magical girl, but while they had their dreams and realities, Madoka saved all actual magical girls. I think.

Yup, this is what I came to say. Boys can be magical girls, too!

That's a shame, and also a little questionable considering everywhere else it's been.
