The magical girl genre is one of the longest-running in manga and anime, and spans a surprising range from the upbeat shojo fare which has been its trademark, to male-oriented fan service like Cutie Honey, and darker themes like Madoka Magica. While some magical girl shows have stayed in the public consciousness long-term, others like Magic Knight Rayearth (pictured above, for you zoomers out there) seem to have faded in prominence.
Thus, we decided it’s a good time to poll our readers and find out where the popularity of these series really stands. Since it’s a multiple choice poll, we included around 50 different titles so its possible to vote for a lot of less obvious and more obscure answers if you so choose.
