Magical Girl anime hasn't been played straight for the best part of 30 years, and is barely even subverted anymore

True tbh

That's not true though? Magical girls have been played straight several times.

The Magical Girl genre has always existed in two forms: For young girls(7-12), or for college aged men. Precure is played fully straight for young girls, and Prisma Illya is played straight for older men.

Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete is a heavy deconstruction of the tropes. :#marseycoomer2:

We got more Tokoyo Mew Mew, which wasn't as good as the original, but is played straight.

Machikado Mazoku is a fun new take on the series without subverting tropes for the sake ofit.

Mahou Shoujo Ore is a subversion where the girls become jacked dudes, the mascot character's disguise is as a yakuza.

Mahou Shoujo Site is a subversion full of gore.

The gorey subversion of Magical Girls was at one point more common than straight played ones.

You'd actually like Machikado Mazoku, its a cute slice of life about a demon girl.
