Recommend me some girly Mahou Shouji series.

I've noticed that magical girl series seem to be my guilty pleasure—the cuter and girlier, the better.

I'm already very familiar with the following:

• Sailor Moon (finished two and a half series of anime, finished first arc of manga)
• Tokyo Mew Mew (finished anime and manga)
• Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch (finished manga, watched part of anime)

Recommend me some others?

Card Captor Sakura?

Precure. (Heartcatch Pretty Cure my personal fav.)

Fushigi Boshi No Futago Hime. It Needs More Love.

And Ojamajo Doremi. A personal favorite.

NB4 Madoka.

Try Princess Tutu, Mao-chan, and Shugo Chara.

Kaitou Saint Tail. (It's a bit different. It's more of a phantom thief show. Still as girly as ever.)

Wedding Peach. Only series I've seen where a girl in a frilly wedding dress uses masculine Japanese. (Angel Daisy refers to herself as "ore.") It's pretty much what I thought of when I saw the title, as it's probably one of the most classically "girly" series I've seen that still has the "fighting heroes" aspect. Pretty Cure is another good one in general, Fresh Pretty Cure might be another good one for being "girly" since none of the girls in that one would fit the "sporty tomboy" role.

Nanatsuiro Drops, Pixie Pop, Sugar Sugar Rune, Gakuen Alice and Powerpuff Girls Z are pretty girly.

Hey I remember Powerpuff Girls Z, that was adorable.

Akazukin Chacha

[1] is Precure really that girly? It's got more physical fighting than magical girls stuff generally does (I think), and airs in the same programming block as Kamen Rider.

I'd check out Otogi Juushi Akazukin.

Princess Tutu is awesome, though I don't have much experience in this area.

What, no love for Magical Project S? Not only does it have the greatest magical girl ever (Pixy Misa~), but it's easily one of the best magical girls shows out there.

Kamichama Karin. Maybe not quite as girly as some of the others mentioned already, but it desperately needs more love.

Jewelpet, Hime Chen Otogi Chikku Idol Lilpri, Onegai My Melody, and these aren't an anime but Winx Club and Trollz are magical girl shows which are rather girly.

Magical Door series?

Add WITCH to that list of non-anime magical girl animated shows. Though I guess I would not call it all that "girly."

^^ Actually, I'm a big fan of that genre. Narnia, Alice In Wonderland, A Wrinkle In Time, Neverwhere... 's some good shit.

If you can find them (easier in Italy, I'm told) the older series Mahou-Tsukai Sally (color remake), Minky Momo (original or remake), Magic Idol Creamy Mami, etc. are very girly and quite charming. Be aware that original Minky Momo has kind of a Gainax Ending.

Princess Tutu isn't girly, it's manly as fuck. Guitar Ninjas.

I second Kaitou Saint Tail so hard, it is the cutest anime I have ever seen. Without the creepy moe part.

I dunno about cute fighting magical girls. All of the Sailor Moon ripoffs seem the same to me. Sugar Sugar Rune is a super cute witch one. I can name a lot of sugary old-school magical girl stuff, though. One series that has an oldschoolish premise but is fairly modern is Fancy Lala, and the series inspired by it Full Moon Wo Sagashite.

Some cute old ones would be the Studio Pierrot magical girls (Magical Emi, Creamy Mami, Fairy Persia, etc.) oh and Hana No Ko Lunlun. And Magical Angel Sweet Mint.
