Personally, I consider Cutey Honey a superhero rather than a magical
girl (But let's not get into definition arguments here. And yeah, I
know most of the characters I'm using here can be considered superheroes.)

Only seen four episodes of Flash, and that was quite a while ago.

Actually, no, I was referring to something different.
>> Pretty Cure – This is a more recent series that I found to be a lot of
>> fun (hey, it’s not as if I’ll be including shows that I hated in this
>> story). I’ll be just including the original series and Max Heart, not
>> Splash Star or Yes! Pretty Cure 5, partly because I love Nagisa and
>> Honoka, partly because I don’t want to put extra weight on my shoulders

>> characters to write already!), and in large part because only about 20
>> episodes each of the latter two series have been subbed.

> Yes, those two are pretty interesting and fun.

Very good show, with very likable characters and some of the best fight
scenes in any magical girl show. The monster-of-the-week stuff only
lasts about four episodes before Fate shows up and things really get
interesting. A's is great from start to finish. StrikerS takes a while
to really get going, but has some great moments too.

Haven't heard of either of those two.

I remember seeing that at my anime club several years ago. Don't
remember much of it and don't have a copy, though.

Not Iczelion. Wedding Peach? Well, it's possible...
