Yeah, that's another pretty popular magical girl anime. I haven't seen it myself since I'm not a fan of the genre (aside from Madoka), but I have a friend that likes it. I do know that it's a rather lengthy series, so if you do end up watching the series, I hope you like the magical girl genre.

Gonna second Cardcaptor Sakura. Didn't mention it because I was keeping strictly to shows that were intended for a male audience, but CCS was my gateway into anime as a thing, so I can definitely vouch for it being a quality series (and a wallet drainer for me, all the 15th anniversary limited edition stuff at Comiket).

I wouldn't bother with any of the Precure stuff, because from what I know that franchise (admittedly not much) it's basically the MLP:FIM of anime (and I mean that in a bad way, so even if you happen to like MLP....)

I don't really feel like getting into PreCure, there are far too many episodes for me. CCS looks interesting and it isn't as long as some other series. So definitely added to my list.

Just watched the second episode of Prisma Illya 2wei and it was alright a. Kuro/Chloe is pretty cool.

Still the longest anime I've ever seen at 70 episodes and 2 movies. Not many shows that can stay so damn good for that long a period of time. Subject of the movies, you watch the first one after the first season (you'll know when that is cause the OP will change) and the second one as an epilogue.

But yeah, just finished the second episode of Prisma Ilya myself. I know I was watching this show just for the sake of seeing that exact scene, but frick me, they sure dont hold anything back with this show do they. I can only imagine how many lonely Japanese otaku are fapping furiously with that scene on loop.

One things that's kinds bugging me though, is how many times they felt the need to say how much she looks like Ilya. Because as far as I'm seeing, the only part of her that resembles Ilya is her forelocks

Yeah. Aside from her hair and stature they are pretty different. Especially personality wise. Can expect much more service from Chloe/Kuro, I expect her to try it with Shirou Emiya too.

As for long anime series. I think the longest ones I've tried to watch but didn't really get into are One Piece, Bleach, Naruto and Gintama. I should try watching them again though, as that was when I was first introduced to anime.

Thanks for the advice on CCS.
