Surprised there's no mention of Pretear, or as I've referred to it before, Snow White and the Seven Magical Boys.

The Shugo Chara boys getting no love? I also wonder if a certain someone from Sailor Moon would count? And as far as manga, Oto x Maho is stunningly good despite its trap card.

Are you kidding me? Absolutely no mention of Shugo Chara!, when Peach-Pit actually approached the topic of magical boys seriously, unlike the awful parody on this list. Really? The only magical girl series that has actual gender equality in it, unlike Sailor Moon. I knew this place was bias, but this is ridiculous. How do some of these things even qualify as magical boy series? It's a stretch.

Shugo Chara is a magical girl show that has a magical boy in it. Same as CCS and a few others people have mentioned here. This was about shows centering on magical boys, that's why the entries are labeled as just the anime themselves, not such and such character from such and such anime, like I usually do. In all of them, the magical boy is the main character. I'm uh, not sure about the 'bias' part of your post? What kind of staff-wide favoritism is there evidence for that, uh, revolves around magic boys? |

I read the first ten volumes of Saint Seiya a while back -- only stopped because that was all the library system had -- and it left me wondering just how much influence it had on Sailor Moon. Especially when the reincarnation stuff came up.

I'm going to El-Hazard in the new poll. I don't know what superpower I'd get if I went there but I'm certain the condition for using it would be that I had to refrain from making puns. I love puns.

I'd exclude it on technically, since the males of Pretear are more magic weapon than magic user, sort of like a reverse-action Touken Ranbu. |

How about Kämpfer? The main character is a magical boy. He has the transformation scene, the "cute" mascot and is even caught up in someone else's war.

in your poll, kyou kara maou's main setting is called Shin Makoku. it looks sad just having the show title
also, nyanko-sensei isn't a cat boy... or even a cat. |

Yeah, this list is about shows where magical boys are the main focus, not shows where the main character is a girl but there's some magical boys hanging around. Otherwise I'm sure the Sailor Starlights would've been mentioned (though they're sort of opposite to Mahou Shoujo Ore so it's sort of hard to say if they're magical boys or girls)

Ayumu is BEST Magical Boy....it's ridiculous anyone would possibly question this.
But yeah, Syaoran should DEFINITELY be on this list; he's also way better than the others mentioned here. As in, he's a magical boy who is treated seriously. But if we're going to list anime that is neither parody OR "magical girl anime with a side magical boy" there's Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok. 
HELLZ YEAH ♥ |

I know I am a little late to this debate, since the poll is not active anymore, but when I saw your post, I had to react. You must understand that there is no one single unified Pokémon world, just like there is not one single unified Digital world in the Digimon franchise. In Pokémon franchise there are many alternate versions of Pokémon world for different game, manga and anime lines. For example, in anime, we already have two different versions of Pokémon world, one for the main anime and another for movies 20 and 21. Then there are Origins, Generations and Mystery Dungeon anime spin-offs, each with their own unique Pokémon world. And Mystery Dungeon is where your statement about no one being transported to Pokémon world is wrong, since the main premise of Mystery Dungeon franchise is about human being transported to version of Pokémon world where (supposedly) no humans live and being turned to Pokémon. And that, BTW, is my ideal Isekai world. Seriously, being turned to (hopefully strong) Pokémon and exploring dungeons is my ideal about spending life in alternate world 
spoiler[And, personal note, I just happen to write a fanfic about three Japanese elementary school boys from world similar to our, except no Pokémon franchise exist there, being thrown to the main anime (or maybe the alternate M20/21, I didn't fully decide yet) Pokémon world and had to adapt on living there as well as try to find a way back home (and hopefully introduce Pokémon franchise to their world, once they'll get back  )]
