shojo is so good Anonymous 34086
Just started watching rose of versailles. I'm addicted. Any recommendations for other anime like it?

>>34089Seconding this. If you like manga just jump down the Ryoko Ikeda rabbit hole. If you like musicals get into Takarazuka.

Oniisama E, Magic Knight Rayearth, and there are like heaps of classic nonanime shoujo–but try the Internet's series catalogs' searches.

Old shoujo manga are generally good. They're still being made but I've heard that they literally reject the good shit in shoujo magazines these days because of sexism ("girls only read manga about love and fashion", that kinda shit) so the female authors that want to publish their cool female protagonist stories have to do so in shounen, seinen or general magazines, and don't get the shoujo label, so they're not very obvious at first. I believe The Ancient Magus's Bride is one such example.

>>35488I love AMB do you have any other recs for similar vibes since they are difficult to find. Would love to find more shoujo/josei skewed action/adventure mangas
