Magical Girl

Magical girls are the epitome of anime style. The mahou shoujo design varies from traditional dresses with lace to more contemporary combat outfits with staves that glow. Note that you can see floating crystal effects and bokeh blurs that make the character stand out.

The style is typically vibrant, with high-saturation colors like bubblegum pink, rich violet, and metallic gold. The character designers enjoy experimenting with dynamic transformation sequences, which is why you'll find that the compositions are generally light and airy. Let's face it, having a variety of magical weapons and pets is pretty epic.
