Magical Girl Friendship Squad

This show seems like it was going for the same approach as Panty and Stocking a la Sailor Moon. We got one hero using birth control and another who happens to be a lesbian stoner. I mean, she has to be a stoner, look at her design. The main issue is that they tried too hard to pander to the progressives, precisely with the villains in some episodes. If you want to make your original works inspired by anime succeed, take my advice, and don't shoehorn your ideologies into your work, to where it feels like you're forcing us to adopt these same ideologies.

Not funny or clever. More than anything it's preachy and unappealing to anyone that's not "woke"

This little show premiered last night on Syfy. I saw the first episode, it was an interesting start. The show is a huge parody of magical girl shows like Sailor Moon. The best way to describe the show is that it is Tuca and Bertie combined with Sailor Moon. The art style is adorable and reminds me of Craig of the Creek, and the writing is hilariously funny. Alex and Daisy have a great dynamic with each other, and the show is highly empowering and relatable to millennials. I hope to see more episodes soon since the lore seems interesting. This, Final Space, Tuca and Bertie, Primal, Bob's Burgers, Duncanville, Close Enough, and Central Park are my favorite modern adult cartoons.

SyFy must really hate being successful. Firstly this show is bad, it already been forgotten.

But remember when SyFy had The Expanse on their network? Remember when they cancelled The Magicians for funding for shows like this?

Seriously, by this point, the attempt of making another "deconstruction" (Curse you, Derrida. And curse you, Gen Urobuchi. And also curse all the people who keeps misusing this term) of magical girl cartoons is just as dull, unoriginal, lazy and stale as making "gritty" superhero deconstructions or "subversive" fairy tales where the prince charming is a jerk and the princess is a badass action hero.

And is also as unoriginal as making stories where Superman (Or a character resembling Superman) is evil.

Seriously, by now "subversive" magical girl shows are the norm, not the exception. Try "deconstructing" something else. (I personally suggest deconstructing trite adult cartoons like this.)
