Mahou Shoujo Pretty Sammy

Listing every anime connected to "Tenchi Muyou!"

Based on the popular magical girl inphographic guide https://i.imgur.com/vFQ3vaZ.jpeg with notes attached to each entry

This is split into 2 Categories:
B. (starts with Utena) I've only seen Madoka Magica and I want to learn more about the genre, but idk if I'm ready for kids' shows.
If at the end you're ready to explore the mahou shoujo genre in full force, jump to Category A.

A. (starts with Precure) I like cute stuff and the magical girls aesthetic, and I can actually handle stuff aimed at little girls.
If at the end this isn't enough for you, congrats, you're into mahou shoujo and you should start doing your own research.

A list of magical girl shows released between 1966 and 1998. Made using this awesome tumblr post: https://chiibinomonodamon.tumblr.com/post/99031991319/there-you-go-every-fcking-magical-girl-from

for shows with a maximum of 9,000 and a minimum of 4,000 members

Using this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLZYtFRoMGQ | Magical Girls Timeline 1966-2020] as reference for this stack, I made it in hopes it might help people who are into this genre find anime they haven't watched/didn't know existed yet.. or really just people who'd like to get into something new.

There are 4-5 anime I haven't included simply because they're ecchi and I really wanna try to keep this, well, non-ecchi.

Part 2 here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/15925

For (what was supposed to be) my very first anime stack, here is a list for fellow anime collectors who may have been a fan of my mahou shoujo manga stack.
I wish anyone seeing this luck in finding old DVD copies of these series—it can get disgustingly expensive really fast.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/78540

Mahou shoujo, translated directly to "magical girl"—a genre featuring many young girls receiving magical powers and (more often than not) a dress that's as cute as the aesthetic! Can be treated as a rec list for those new to the genre, as many of these are considered as classics of the genre and may even still be on today's streaming services. Not meant to be a complete/definitive list.


WORK IN PROGRESS: I will add descriptions and maybe add more later. (May even make a Part 2.)


Disclaimer: Magical girl series that received DVD releases for the English audience are prioritized in this list. Most of the series listed here will also have Blu-Ray releases, but I am mainly noting older DVD releases from the 2000s (and earlier); hence why Lyrical Nanoha and its second season are listed here, but not its third season and later which have recently gotten Blu-Ray releases here in the West after being unacknowledged for years. Despite that, I try to list series that can be available on DVD as complete and (hopefully) easily as possible.
Also, expect tons of older shoujo and/or "genre played straight" (as in not that many parodies) examples because of the older DVD priority AND my admittedly obvious bias for them.

This stack contains licensed titles that have been OUT OF PRINT and series that apply will be indicated as such. This means it is near impossible to find these new without destroying your wallet, but there is still a chance in the ever-growing secondhand market! To find these older, hard-to-find series, I recommend the following sites:
https://www.abebooks.com/
https://www.alibris.com/
https://www.biblio.com/

These are sites for shopping for books, but I have found DVD listings on Alibris every now and then.

unpopular mahou shoujou series

Because it's pretty much impossible to understand otherwise and all of the lists that exist are... inconsistent. This is based on the list fictionhorizon made. I haven't watched it myself, so if there are any issues, feel free to hit me up with corrections.

Includes all* anime on the Anime+/GRAPH mahou shoujo/magical girl achievement list

Notes:
If the anime is saved under a different name in the original list (and the ID matches), the listed title is added as a comment. The anime will keep its place according to the list - even if it will no longer be alphabetically correct according to its main title on MAL. This is to make the job of checking and updating these much easier for me.

*The main stacks do NOT include hentai. This is both for people who want to avoid it, and because including it will significantly limit the stack. Please proceed to the Hentai Edition™ in the list below if you're into that.

My try on making a stack of the Tenchi Muyou! franchise in a, sort of, chronological order.

The Tenchi Muyou! franchise organized by chronological order, where the continuities are organized by release order.

For the NSFW version, watch Spaceship Agga Ruter between Photon and Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki. Admittedly, you are missing pretty much nothing by skipping it and just watching the SFW version.

All OVAS,ONA,Special, TV Special with Opening for AMQ, Famous or not!

(Openings being single, not part from TV series)

"Uh... but... I don't like magic and girls."

Yes the appeal of magical girl shows is often girls with magic. However, that is not the only appeal.

For the love of god watch Soultaker before you watch Magical Nurse Komugi. Thanks.

Rules
1. No Magical Girlfriend shows (Except for Valkyrie and Dokuro-chan)
2. No International shows (MAL hosts Chinese and Korean productions but in order to save space, only Japanese shows will be included. I may make an international version in the future)
3. No regular fantasy with a female protagonist (ie. My Next Life as a Villainess and Frieren. Shows in a fantasy world with MG like tropes like Rayearth and Leviathan are fine)
4. ABSOLUTELY NO HENTAI! (While Magical Canan began as a Hentai OVA, the TV series version suitable for general audiences will appear. Ecchi like Cutie Honey and Moetan are fine though due to not showing explicit sex/pornographic material)
5. In order to save room, only the first installment of each show will appear. (In terms of Precure, only Futari wa will appear as a representation for the franchise as a whole.)

Fun Fact: Mahou Shoujo shows came to be because Sally was inspired by Bewitched. Without Bewitched, the Magical Girl genre might've never have existed in it's current form. (Yes, Akko did predate Sally in the manga world but the genre may have never happened without the creation of Sally the Witch). Of course, Sailor Moon paved the way for warrior shows to take center stage. Without Usagi and friends, Majokko shows and Idol shows would likely become more dominant than today. (I know there were some warrior shows like Cutie Honey and Devil Hunter Yohko that aired before 1992 but they only appeared once in a blue moon. Until Sailor Moon showed up of course)
