* ''Manga/SuicideGirl'' is a deconstructive mix of Horror and Tragedy with the main character trying to take her own life with no success. Ironically, her suicidal tendencies made her a hero that will save citizens from ending themselves.

* ''Anime/ShamanicPrincess'' is a DarkerAndEdgier, HotterAndSexier take on CuteWitch magical girls. It's very conscious of the PeripheryDemographic and aimed at an older audience, but remains a straight take on the genre's themes. It has a non-linear narrative that starts InMediasRes, with a lot of [[MindScrew oblique, symbolic imagery]] to go along with it.



* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' is regarded as the first major deconstruction of the genre. The defining trait of all Franchise/SuperSentai Magical girl series is that [[ThePowerOfLove altruism and unconditional love will always save the world]]. However, [[spoiler:the biggest prince in the story became the BigBad in part '''because''' he was [[ChronicHeroSyndrome incredibly altruistic]] [[FallenHero and could not handle the consequences]], plus all of Utena's strength and purity can't save one DamselInDistress if said Damsel (Anthy) won't [[ViciousCycle break away from centuries of abusive habits]] to save herself.]] Also, Utena is more of a Magical Warrior than a conventional Magical girl [[spoiler: and her efforts to help Anthy were, until almost the end, [[SecretlySelfish more based on her own needs and desires than on her will to help Anthy]].]]
* ''Anime/ShamanicPrincess'' is a short, DarkerAndEdgier and HotterAndSexier take on CuteWitch magical girls. The series is very non-linear, starts InMediasRes, and has a lot of {{mind screw}}. It panders to [[MultipleDemographicAppeal both female and male demographics]].

magical girls. The But since the director, writer, and character designer jumped ship from ''Anime/SailorMoon'' to create the series, comparisons to ''Sailor Moon'' made [[AdvertisingByAssociation marketable references]] that came to dominate the discourse about it. Yes, the series is very non-linear, starts InMediasRes, does have a transformation sequence of sorts, and has yes, it does have a message about ThePowerOfLove and what it can and can't accomplish, but there are a lot of {{mind screw}}.

Its brand of interpersonal and sibling drama owes a debt to ''Manga/DearBrother'', a highly psychological but more niche work also created by Ikeda.

* ''Manga/{{Kodocha}}'' has its main character Sana, a child actress, occasionally dress up as what appears to be a hybrid of Chacha's Magical Princess transformation from ''Manga/AkazukinChacha'' and Ririka's Nurse Angel form from ''Manga/NurseAngelRirikaSOS'' (as all of these series and 'Manga/HimechansRibbon'' were published in the same shoujo magazine and their anime adaptations consisted of much of the same production companies). The most prominent of these appearances is during a BizarroEpisode towards the end of the series, where she has to battle a robotic kaiju version of her best friend's mother.

* The Kamikaze Fireballs in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' are a parody of the trope, complete with transformation sequence. The main one, Ribrianne, turns into an {{Acrofatic}} BigFun fairy with elemets of {{Gonk}} - though the members of her univers seem to genuinely consider her beautiful in that form.
