There's no recency bias in the results of My Navi Women's poll in which career women in their 20s and 30s were asked to name their favorite magical girl anime as two of the top three picks date back to the 1960s!
The list results were weighed towards childhood favorites over recent trends. Yeah, nostalgia and broomsticks evidently count for a lot in a top 10 that included:
10. (tie) Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha - 1.1%
10. (tie) Hana no Ko Lunlun - 1.1%
9. Magical Princess Minky Momo - 1.7%
8. Puella Magi Madoka Magica - 2.8%
7. Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel - 3.4%
5. (tie) Ojamajo Doremi - 5.1%
5. (tie) Hime-chan's Ribbon - 5.1%
4. Cardcaptor Sakura - 12.4%
3. Sally the Witch 14.1%
A 31-year-old trading company assistant commented that she remembers wanting to fly on a broom like the heroine. A 27-year-old especially liked its famous theme song. A 31-year-old financial sales worker especially fondly recalls the works of its magic spells.
2. Himitsu no Akko-chan - 21.1%
A 30-year-old government clerk commented that she remembers wanting the ability to transform like the heroine, while a 31-year-old IT work recalled loving the magic words like "tekumaku mayakon, tekumaku mayakon" and "lamipus lamipus lu lu lu lu lu."
1. Kiki's Delivery Service - 22.6%
Pretty much everyone commented that they remember wanting to fly on a broom like Kiki. A 26-year-old healthcare worker agreed and added that she was especially moved by the scene in which Kiki could no longer speak with Jiji.
