Quote:Depends on what you consider a magical girl, I guess. I tend to look at it more as a style issue than a literal thing.
Don't forget Die Seelepanzer, who probably counts. Somehow.
For instance, there's Elenium, one of my characters that I haven't played very much. (Maybe I'll remake her on virture or infinity sometime...) She's basically a combat cyborg with a weird energy manipulation system. But she transforms like a magical girl, dresses like a magical girl, fights like a magical girl, and probably makes cheesy speeches like a magical girl too. (Even if her author can't come up with such in real time.) So she's a magical girl.
Wheras another of my characters, Mirami, is a girl, uses magic, and fights evil in her school uniform, but doesn't do things like a magical girl, so she isn't a magical girl.
-Morgan, and then there's Alexis's sisters, who have even weirder variations..."I have no interest in ordinary humans. If there are any aliens, time travelers, or espers here, come sleep with me."
