Even long after its mythic heyday in the 1990s, the magical girl genre is still synonymous with anime. Hits like Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura were generation-defining, proving to audiences across the globe that anime had just as much to offer for young girls as it had to offer for young boys. Still, though, as popular as magical girl anime are, much of the genre lacks the kind of pop-culture ubiquity enjoyed by big shōnen hits.
