History YMMV / MajokkoMegChan

** And [[spoiler:the final episode, when Meg learns that she's been called back to the magical kingdom for her final queenliness test and must leave her MuggleFosterFamily behind. She is devastated, and watching Meg's reaction as Mammi erases Meg from the memories of her husband and children is heartrending. Of course, it worked out okay for Meg in the end... sort of; it's understood that she'll still have to undergo the same ordeal eventually, but hopefully by that point she'll be more emotionally prepared for it.]]

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: This show isn't considered much nowadays since many of the elements it introduced to the MagicalGirl genre have been done and frequently done better afterward, so many people forget that this series started it all.

* FoeYay: Meg and Non. Chou even [[GirlOnGirlIsHot lampshades it during their final battle,]] [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything which is physical to the point of resembling sex]]. Years later, Creator/{{CLAMP}} [[http://download.minitokyo.net/CLAMP.438054.jpg makes a note of it]], and even officially licensed products back in the show's day [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/45e46a49916d442415ecf93f23def11b/tumblr_nf60tzOYvM1qg653uo1_540.jpg had fun with it.]]

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Although considered a cult favorite in Japan today, the series wasn't particularly popular when it first aired, and it would be the last magical girl series Toei Animation made until 1979 as the studio moved on to ''Manga/CandyCandy''. However, it became ''very'' popular when it reached Italy in the early '80s, and some of the subsequent European releases of the show were redubbed from Italian rather than the original.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Meg enjoyed popularity in Italy in the early 1980s under the name Bia, and is still fondly remembered there although it wasn't particularly popular in Japan, where its reputation as a game-changer in the magical girl genre has been acquired chiefly in retrospect. (The series was also dubbed for France and Latin America, but seems to be more or less completely forgotten in those territories.)

* {{Squick}}: Rabi takes rather too much of a liking to Meg's body, considering that as far as he's concerned, Meg is his sister.

** Same for [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Chou-san]]

* TearJerker: When Meg gets sick in the first episode, and is in danger of dying.

* ValuesDissonance: In the first episode, Papa slaps Meg when she argues with him, and Mami claims that he wouldn't have done it if he didn't love Meg. Nowadays, we call such an act abuse.
*** Granted, he was immediately sorry and did apologize for it, but still.

* GenreTurningPoint: The series was an important milestone in early MagicalGirl shows, as it was [[MultipleDemographicAppeal the first show to be marketed to boys as well as girls]], and featured a number of developments--it was the first MagicalGirl show with a tomboyish heroine, a rival to the heroine, a ''really'' [[BigBad evil]] villain, and also the first that includes {{Fanservice}} tropes (with LovableSexManiac characters), and serious issues like DomesticAbuse, extramarital relationships, drug abuse, death etc. Essentially it took the traditional magical girl genre and gave it a shot of ''Manga/CutieHoney''-style spiciness.

** The Italian theme song (used for both opening and ending), albeit in a much cuter, more kiddie way. Although it's also an example of SoundtrackDissonance, as this cutesy kiddie song plays while Meg behaves flirtatiously toward a group of boys (including Rabi) and while Chou-san leers at her through a telescope.

** Also, Rabi's inappropriate behavior often goes unpunished, he gets away with much of it without so much as a scolding, and it is uncomfortable now to watch him try various schemes to peek at Meg naked or in her underwear. In the first episode, Papa essentially tells Meg that Rabi's pranks are just something she has to put up with because she's older.

* EarWorm: The opening. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-s0PC28HO4 Majokko Megu wa, majokko Megu wa, anata no kokoro ni, shinobikomu!]]
** The somewhat saucy (considering Meg is 15) lyrics were written by Kazuya Senke, who had previously written similarly spicy lyrics for '70s teen J-pop idol Momoe Yamaguchi.

* {{Squick}}: Rabi takes rather too much of a liking to Meg's body, considering that she is his big sister (or rather, he believes this because of Mami's magic).

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Both the Japanese opening and ending, which brought back ''Manga/CutieHoney'' vocalist Yoko Maekawa.
