Hello everybody! heart As a Sailor Moon fan (duh) I have an appreciation for the magical girl genre. However, I'm unfamiliar with series in the same genre. Can I get some feedback on some good stuff I should watch? Are they worth the time? Any more suggestions? Tokyo Mew Mew
Pretty Cure
Magical DoReMi
Winx Club
Card Captors
Mermaid Melody
Saint Tail
Alice 19th Edit: If I'm going to check these series out I will automatically check the ENG dub, the JP dub, and the manga.

How about Powerpuff Girls Z or Wedding Peach? I had watched both, and I love them. THough I guess American PPG is better! Amercica FTW!

Ah yes, PPGZ...I've heard of it and watched like..AN episode, but I simply can't FIND it anywhere to watch it. I loved the American version. Never heard of Wedding Peach before. Can I get any more details about it?

Wedding Peach is really good. It talks about a pink-haired girl named Momoko who discovers her mother's ring is magical and turns her into a magical girl named Wedding Peach. She has friends who turn into Angel Daisy and Angel Lily. Gaia has an item that looks really similar to their chest armor, you can tektek it.

Winx Club is AWESOME! It's more or less fairies, rather than Magical Girl... Kind of a stretch, but they do transform so I guess it fits. The English is okay. I'm convinced that the Italian is better, though, or at least the RAI English version.
((And I've actually thought of taking a little inspiration from Stella, vis-a-vis her transformation.))

WATCH CUTEY HONEY >_> Both the new & old versions. - I think there was a 1 ep live action also.
Also Puni Puni Poemi..It's like a parody of the magical girl genre O_o; GO WATCH IT It's funny...Crued humor, but still funny.
Tokyo Mew Mew - It's okay, not great - though I REALLY like the idea behind it.
Pretty Cure - Never watched it, heard it was good. Saw bits of it online that looked good, but heck if I know what it's about.
Magical DoReMi - (Japanese Version) I liked it, though at times I believed it had more potential. But then they came out with the Naisho Series.. I'd highly recommend watching it - Ojamajo Doremi. Never saw or knew an English version existed.
Winx Club - Another one with good story. Especially if you like the fairy-tale kind of fantasy. (at least that's how I view it..) One thing I know is that it had several movies & running into what, it's 6th season? So, a lot of people must enjoy it at the very least.
Card Captors - Sucks (it got boring way too quick like Pokemon)
Mermaid Melody - Only saw 1 episode...didn't hold my interest though I can't say it was too bad.
Saint Tail - I read what it was about, but never seen it yet. I have a high interest in watching it though.
Alice 19th - Never heard of it.
PPG Z - Eh...It's okay? Just an anime twist to the original. It IS pretty neat to watch though.
Wedding Peach - I originally didn't like it because I expected it to be a rip-off of Sailor Moon (same with MewMew) But I like the concept of angels.. I'd recommend watching this.

I can only give you info on the three that I know about, but here we go:
For both Tokyo Mew Mew and Cardcaptor Sakura (both changed to Mew Mew Power and Cardcaptors in their respective dub versions), I highly suggest watching the original Japanese. Tokyo Mew Mew, for instance, brings up a lot of interesting environmental issues that the dub wrote out to fit in inane tripe like constantly whining about boys. Cardcaptor Sakura was changed up to make Sakura's male counterpart more important, because the dubbers weren't sure a series about a girl would be as big of a hit. The dubbing is okay, don't get me wrong. I just recommend the subtitled Japanese version more.
As for Alice 19th, I've only read the manga and was not aware that they animated it. I loved the series though, it was one of Yuu Watase's shorter series which means it had less time to get bipolar on itself, so it was great! I've got to see if I can find the anime now, so if you watch it let me know how it was. whee

Tokyo Mew Mew - Kinda dramatic and OH MY GOODNESS I can see some weapons that Mama had! (My mom is Sailor Chibi Moon.) The colors are better than th' story.
Pretty Cure - Gomen, I haven't seen a full episode. But I saw some ripoffs in it.
Magical DoReMi - It's okay, but really kiddish, even for me! An' the weapons look alot like Mama and Grandma's weapons. There's a series where th' 9 year olds become group Mommies to a baby! I'm not kidding!
Winx Club - Italian cartoon. There's REAL nakedness in th' transformations, which is why it's not on TV in 'merica anymore, and why Mama won't let me watch.
Card Captors - Kawaii desu! The uncensored series is really dark, an the edited version is really hyper, but I heart this.
Mermaid Melody - TOO dramatic! An th' characters look suspiciously like Grandma and Ami-san.
Saint Tail - Gomen! I read part of one book, but never finished it.
Alice 19th - Wassat?
Have you guys seen Milky Holmes or Galaxy Angel? Those are interesting! There's a girl in galaxy Angel that looks liek Auntie Kousagi, but with her hair down. heart Pretty. Milky Holmes is new. It's funky. I like it.
