	Anime News Network - Shoujo
		"Shoujo" is a demographic indicator for anime and manga aimed at girls.
		In other words, shoujo is associated with a visual and storytelling style rather than with a demographic.
		While it is true that shoujo anime and manga traditionally tend to have a strong focus on relationships and character development, it is far too diverse to be pigeonholed so neatly.

		While shoujo anime and manga have indeed become one of the most popular of the subgenres, there is a further subcategory of shoujo that is worth mentioning here.
		The "mahou shoujo" branch-off of shoujo anime and manga is one that has become popularized over the years, and has given rise to some of anime and manga's most well-known and loved series, both in the past and today.
		If a series fits the shoujo anime or manga profile, and features the supernatural or amazing use of certain powers by a female protagonist, that's when you can be pretty sure you're watching or reading about a "mahou shoujo" anime.

	Sequential Tart: The Seductive World of Shoujo Anime (vol III/iss 3/March 2000)
		Welcome to the seductive world of mahou shoujo (magical girls) anime, where every little girl has dormant magical powers which awaken with a dramatic flourish — a striking pose, an incantation, and a titillating transformation scene wherein the nubile young vixen's clothes magically disintegrate, leaving in its place an outfit hardly worth fighting in.
		Mahou shoujo's sister, shoujo (girls') anime, is filled with sweeping dramatics and intensely emotional story lines that rival even the most complicated soap operas.
		Unlike many shoujo girls, Tsukushi absolutely knows who she is, and that she can't be bought by the F4, the group of incredibly rich boys who terrorize her exclusive and upper class school.

		In anime, a sub-genre of the "shoujo" anime/manga type story is "mahou shoujo" (magical girl), which has female protagonists using magical powers to accomplish their goals or mission.
		A sub genre of this is "mahou shoujo", which means "magical girl" and refers to those shows that revolve around one or more females with magical or mystical powers (such as Sailor Moon, where ordinary female high school students turn into uniform-wearing magical fighters).
		Like its counterpart, shoujo, many females are as attracted to this genre of anime as the boys are and enjoy it as much.

	AnimeNation Anime Forums - Different type of mahou shoujo
		Usually the typical mahou shoujo involves a ditz but loveable young bishoujo surrounded by a harem of bishoujo (who are all sworn to be her loyal servants and friends).
		The problem is that to find variety in a static genre like mahou shoujo you sometimes have to reach for things that you normally wouldn't consider to be part of the genre.
		Of course, the problem here is deciding on a definition of mahou shoujo that everyone accepts so that we can all agree on which shows count as mahou shoujo.

		Of course in the case of "Mahou Shoujo Pretty Samy" the show was very successful and the mahou shoujo adaption of Sasami has become alot more iconic of Sasami than her Juraian counterpart.

		Apparently her opponent had taken the stance that 'Mahou Tsukai Tai!' was a shounen OAV series that had never been made into a manga.
		It's terribly cute, very much a mahou shoujo series, and features the requisite heroine lacking in confidence and grace, the cute but powerful boy she likes, and the various companions that go along with them.
		But if you don't care for mahou shoujo in general, you might not find it as charming and funny as I do.

	BLACK MOON - A review of the Super Doll Licca-chan anime.
		So while some may be just discovering the joy and depth of the more popular mahou shoujo tales like Sailor Moon or Card Captor Sakura, there is a whole world of relative unknowns worth exploring and promoting.
		Living in a fanciful city which has both European and Japanese accents (but which celebrates Halloween), Rika slowly discovers that she is the Princess of Doll Land, and as such, has a trio of bad guys after her, namely, Dr.
		But the new spin in this mahou shoujo tale is that Rika herself does not sport the magic, but her Doll protectors do.

		The thing is, mahou shoujo shows usually aren't meant to have a large continuous plot.
		They take the major parts of mahou shoujo and don't invent much that's new.
		But there are plenty of mahou shoujo shows that break some of these stereotypes, and plenty have fewer than five people.

		If you want to learn more about mahou shoujo, I would recommend visiting Henshin, a fabulous website with tons of information about the genre.
		As is the case with most mahou shoujo stories, character development is the most important part of any episode, although there's a nicely complex plot, and plenty of action thrown in as well.
		The story definitely follows the rules and conventions of the mahou shoujo genre, although there are plenty of creative, original twists in the plot.

		The mahou shoujo subgenre is full of it, of course, as is the typical fantasy series.
		The irony of magic being everywhere in anime is that after watching enough of these shows, they become decidedly less magical.
		Sorcery in fantasy shows becomes expected as part of the norm, and whatever "magic" there was in mahou shoujo now seems more often than not like a twisted fashion show for pedophiles.

		I think almost every single character was likeable in it for some reason or another- although there were evil characters they always had redeeming qualities that enabled you to empathise with them, and even the nicer characters showed some nasty, reckless or antisocial qualities.
		Gee, Sailor Moon is mahou shoujo - not that it's a big crime to lump mahou shoujo in with shoujo titles, but mahou shoujo is generally aimed at a younger age group and I think overall those shows are not as strong in the writing and production values.

	Anime Dream Reviews - Earth Maiden Arjuna (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		It does, however, make me not the ideal person to review "Arjuna." Sure, I can enjoy the fun mahou shoujo-isms and the cute--though few and far in between--cracks on Japanese consumerism, but on the whole the series just smacks of devotion to an issue for which I could care less.
		Last volume was a mess (a fun mess, but a mess nonetheless); the first two episodes focused on nuclear power, but then it gave us nothing more than a monster of the week battle to end that plot thread before moving on the next.
		I realize that mahou shoujo series do this all the time--start out with an unimportant mini-arc to help the heroine realize her powers--but when you have an anime that's trying to deal with Big Issues, one would hope they'd delve a little further into the concern at hand.
