This year has been a step forward in my career, as I’m now a contributor for a real publication! My Utena series is coming out this year, but between my writing for The Daily Fandom and the sheer density of that series, I might not be able to post quite as regularly. That will definitely be the only thing I’m posting here in 2026; if you want more of my writing, of course, I’ll also be writing monthly articles on TDF. Please be patient with me on that, and of course, I’ll probably not post anything outside of the series on this site anymore. You can see all my articles here, discussing a lot of the same things I’ve blogged about from different angles.

Once again, I’m finishing off a series with a top episode list.

I just like to gush about things I love every now and then, and this list has been on my mind for a while now.

This is something I started years ago, but I feel more confident in a list like this just because I’ve watched more magical girl shows, and thus am more certain of what I like. The magical girl genre is probably my favorite genre of anime; part of it is the flashy animation, and the integration of various mythologies with new concepts, as well as the abundance of female characters.
