28% of the voting visitors to this page would most like to see Denno Coil<\/b><\/i> licensed (my choice, too, but I don’t vote in my polls). Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei<\/b><\/i> came in second with 19%, followed by Potemayo<\/b><\/i> with 14% and, Banner of the Stars III<\/b><\/i> with 10%. The other shows, in order of decreasing votes, were Sailor Stars<\/b><\/i>, Oh! Edo Rocket<\/b><\/i>, Dirty Pair TV<\/b><\/i>, Animal Yokocho<\/b><\/i>, Magipoka<\/b><\/i>, Alfred J. Kwak<\/b><\/i> and Aishiteruze Baby<\/b><\/i>. I was disappointed that nobody voted for Mind Game<\/b><\/i>, a movie that deserves much more attention than it’s received.<\/p>\n
And now, the new poll: which mahou shoujo<\/em> has the best costume? Note that I’m not asking who is your favorite or is from the best show. I just want to know who you think has the best designer. ((Who makes the magical girls’ outfits, anyway? What does a girl do if her costume needs alterations? What happens if she needs to transform while her costume is at the cleaners?)) Also, the inclusion of a particular girl is not a recommendation of the relevant show. Some of the series are very good, e.g., Princess Tutu<\/b><\/i>, but others are not so good, e.g., Pretty Cure<\/b><\/i>.<\/p>\n The astute will notice the conspicuous absence of Sakura Kinomoto. This is for two reasons. First, she is not a typical mahou shoujo<\/em>; i.e., she doesn’t transform ((Toward the end of Cardcaptor Sakura<\/b><\/i> she does sprout wings, which can be regarded as a transformation, but she still wears Tomoyo’s costumes, not proper magical clothing.)) Second, Tomoyo’s creations are worth a poll in themselves someday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 28% of the voting visitors to this page would most like to see Denno Coil licensed (my choice, too, but I don’t vote in my polls).
