1997: Revolutionary Girl Utena is so wildly incredible, such a wild ride. I've watched it through once for the podcast, and need to go through it many more times before I die. Also, we wouldn't have Scott Pilgrim without it. LOL

1999: Doremiiiiii. In a world of battle heroines, one set of little witches reigns supreme up to the modern day.

2003: Mermaid Melody!! I've seen this series more than any other franchise, four times in three languages!!

2004 is such a difficult decision, but I've decided to hand it to Lyrical Nanoha for the sci fi variant on Cardcaptor Sakura that was a bit gay and was a major serious success despite the wild origin story as a parody.

2006: While this was the year I got into PreCure via Splash Star, I gotta hand it to the greatest, Powerpuff Girls Z. I was hugely into PPG when I was younger and so I lost my goddamn mind when this got announced, and watched it religiously week to week.

2007: Yes PreCure 5!!!! This had such a huge affect on me, not always for the best, but I cried when they were on screen in the Healin' Good movie in 2021.

2010: Heartcatch PreCure happens to be the only series I've watched from this year but it also slapped like a lot so I have no problem handing it to them. Made changes to PreCure, and to the magical girl standard, and was also a spiritual successor to Doremi S4.

2011, another easy one for me, as a former musician I am a sucker for music themed magical girls every time and Suite PreCure delivered the goods.

2015: One of these girls are on my baby name list, need I say more? Go Princess was peak power of femininity in magical girls.

2018… gotta give it to PreCure again. Junichi Sato gave us Hug and it was a solid celebratory season of the franchise, gave us Cure Infini, our first bonafide boy Cure, and gave him a very lovely boyfriend.
