On the poll last week, you just have

with no artist listed. The artist is Gumi (Megumi Hinata)
As for the new poll, if kira is on there (debatable if he counts) then Lacus should be too. <3 Lacus[/quote]

Speaking of Shamanic Princess, "Inori no Asa" was one of the songs I submitted for last week's poll, for the best 1990s anime themes. I wasn't surprised that it didn't make the top 20 (neither did my other choices), but I still think it's a beautiful song (even if the anime itself is puzzling as heck).

Let's not forget Sally the Witch. It is among the earliest magical girl anime as well as 1 of the earliest shoujo anime. It was made by the creator of Gigantor, which is deemed the 1st giant robot anime.

that's what i was thinking. why is any of the SEED and SEED Destiny characters even in this poll considering the series dont even have newtypes?
i might get 00 since Ribins in his fight against setsuna in the final ep he was mentioning about him possibly being a newtype innovator due to him using the 00 gundam in ways a normal innovator can , but definitely not pilots from the SEED universe. and as for the poll, its a safe bet that lala sune , amuro and char will be at least in the top five very easily , if not in the top three.

Not quite. it wasnt madoka magica that made the genre popular again, it was actually due the massive popularity of mahou shoujo lyrical nanoha that made the magical girls genre a thing again. not to mention its more or less a primary reason why some of those newer series have been given slight possible hints of the two main characters are a yuri item. first it stated with nanoha takamachi and fate testarossa , then madoka and homura. now most of the newer magical girl series have some hints of that yuri element within the main female characters.

We all did? I dunno about you, but I actually expected Tank to be a winner. But just like you, I am surprised with Butter-Fly being third and even more surprised with Brave Heart (which is actually my addition to the poll  ) to be on 20th place. That is big satisfaction for me. What shocked me, however, was Pokémon Theme on 4th place. I guess it's childhood for many people, but still, dub song even make it to ANN poll, and on top of that, place that high, I have to say I am really shocked.

Is Galaxy Angel considered? If it does, feels like it belongs on the list.

Nope, definitely can't forget Sally. Even though I only got to see her show briefly in South Korea (my overseas teaching venture in 2009), I definitely enjoyed it despite not knowing much about what was being said. The Korean dub did add some sweet electric guitar to her opening song though. Wish I could find that version somewhere.

Nakayoshi even advertised it as being as popular as SM and CCS once, near the end of it's run. I'm not really surprised that it's been ignored, given how everyone on this site is so obsessed with SM and never wants to give SC! any credit. |
Ah, Shugo Chara. That series had a huge following in Japan to get a ton of merchandise and 3 seasons (127 eps.!) It kinda didn't take off here in the US unfortunately.

Because Kira is a newtype, and Lacus is not.

Sorry, but SEED is officially confirmed to have newtypes. Ribbons also never says he is a newtype innovator. You (or whoever subtitled it for you) seem to be confusing 'new' for 'true'. Ribbons was saying he was a true innovator and not an innovado like the rest of his crew which was a direct response to Tieria/Setsuna calling him an innovado.

Have to disagree on that one. I never watched a true Magical Girl show until Puella Magi Madoka Magica came out. Always heard about Sailor Moon, Precure, Nanoha, and Sakura, but never had even a thought about watching them. Madoka Magica came out and hit me in the head and rang my bell, and nothing has been the same. Now I am eagerly awaiting the next Magical Girl show (looking at you Magical Girl Apocalypse and Magical Girl Site), and looking at Nanoha and Sakura with interest.

Shamanic Princess was a great OVA, though I enjoyed the first part over the second. The music was excellent too (Inori no Asa, Omoide No Mori & Kaze no Matsuri). Fun setting and characters, too bad there wasn't more.

It's interesting to see a show that had Little Red Riding Hood as a magical girl. It's a shame this wasn't brought to America. A lot of Americans are familiar with the character so it wouldn't be a hard sell,not just to Americans,but Western audiences as a whole. I hope this comes here someday.
