Why are Western magical girl shows so lackluster? They're either gay or they steal from Harry Potter or Anime.

Whatever. The real question here is, do they have cute feet?

Hein ? But ze image vous posted is from a series directly stated to be influenced by L'Harry Potter ? I am, as ze Americains say, confused ?

They steal from shitty source material.

>>149336897 (OP)
They're afraid of being Magical Girl Shows so they try to put a "spin" on it or just dress it up as Harry Potter.

they have to steal from anime to have a "magical girl" show at all dont they?

How many have there been anyway? I can only think of a few off the top of my head.

It's the excuse to post anime.

Because Japan invented magical girls as a genre so any show using that trope is stealing from them
But Japan stole from American and French animation in the 50s so actually it just goes around
Except the West stole from Japanese aesthetics during the Belle Epoque so actually
But Japan animated a bunch of Western series in the 80s and 90s so
But the West used Japanese labor to
But the Meiji
But Picasso
But Western
But Japan
But China
But trade
But
But but but

But maybe cultural diffusion naturally occurs as a consequence of contact with other peoples and trying to label this as something inherently wrong is both transgressive and actually against the very nature of humanity

Anything involving witches made in the US must be Halloween themed and heavily use Halloween puns at all times. No idea why but western studios are 100% married to witches being Halloween mascots in every way.

Was there a purge on /a/? Because there are more shitty EvW threads then usual.

mmmmm garlic

>>149337384
You're part of the problem

>>149336897 (OP)
Because they have no other frame of reference to draw on and no deeper knowledge of the genre. They aren't really passionate about what they're doing and try to be subversive in a genre that's been being subverted for decades without knowing what's come before.

She's asking for it, stop provoking me!
