Starting this Saturday (1st Feb), be sure to join us over at the forum's simulwatch area for the magical girl retrospective, as we chart a course through over 50 years of transforming, world-saving, mischief-making, singing, dancing, sometimes PTSD-suffering allies of love and justice. Whether you're a life-long magical girl otaku or someone who wouldn't know a Kyubey if one jumped up and bit you on the end of your... never mind. The point is: all are welcome.

Watching and commenting on one episode per day, we will dive through the first 1-3 episodes of a dozen shows to see how the genre evolved through the decades. Many landmark series are represented, and most of the shows are available to stream in the UK. Follow the full watchlist or just drop in to comment on a few shows that intrigue you; the choice is yours! Don't miss the chance to say, "I was there!" when future generations speak in awed whispers of this epic simulwatch.

There's really only one question: will you trust the talking cat?
YES / NO

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex ep1-12 (rewatch, English dub)

The passage of time only makes me appreciate SAC more, I think we’ve still never seen any other sci-fi procedural top how consistently good it is. Been rewatching it with a friend and it’ll likely be a while before we can get back to it, but I look forward to picking it up again, as we were just short of Yen, Euro, Dollar (¥€$) one of my favourite episodes.

Totally agree with this. I'm in same situation as you, been watching through GitS with my partner recently and am slightly ahead of you but have also had to take a break recently. But it's such a pleasant slice of some top notch very early 00s anime, it holds up incredibly well. The writing, visuals and music are all excellent. And it's probably only improved with age as most of its themes and ideas seem more relevant than ever really. So far there hasn't been a bad episode.
