Yes, yes, YES. Also I love that idea for her wish, because I like the catch you've thought up, and I think it'd fit well with the themes... but since she's got so much potential, she could be a truly devastating witch, too, which I bet she isn't thinking about. HEH.
I loved the cards in CCS, too - their abilities were really creative, and the way they were strong and weak against one another. I think they even released an official deck of them a while back, with a fancy book-like case and everything, but I never got my paws on it. This also reminds me that one of the best cosplays I ever saw ever was a guy as Clow, and he had his two tiny babies (like, 2 year olds, probably) dressed as Syaoran and Sakura. It was the cutest thing in the universe. I think I saw it at AX2004, but I dont' even remember. I just remember loving it.
ALSO THAT DESCRIPTION MAKES ME WANT TO WATCH KORE WA ZOMBIE DESU KA. It reminds me of a tabletop RPG campaign I was in (LOL) that was Big Eyes Small Mouth D20. We were running a sentai/mahoushoujo campaign. They were looking for the moon princess. My character was a dude with no past-life memories named Himeda Yo. Y-yeah, I made that joke. xD Anyway, I rolled die to determine whether or not he would 1.) remember that he was the moon princess (no), 2.) transform into the moon princess' clothes or get a new outfit (dress!), and 3.) have to say ridiculously girly catch-phrases in order to make his magic work (yes), and 4.) in order to transform, what he would have to use (I rolled what I assigned 'put on make-up'. So his transformation sequence was him having to put on lip gloss, eyeshadow, and mascara. IT WAS RIDICULOUS). xD I will probably enjoy this.
ALSO NOW I AM IMAGINING MAGICAL GIRL HARUNA AND IT IS AMAZING. He would totally sing the Pixy Misa song. "I'm an awesome mahou-shoujo, I can do anything 'cause I'm a mahou-shoujo!" LOLZ FOREVER. Mihashi could be the shy one ("Strike!"), Akimaru is the smart one (his catchphrase would be silently making his glasses reflect the light, LOL), Takaya could be the hot-headed angry one ("Follow my lead, dammit!" while Haruna runs of to start fighting before the rest of them are finished transforming).... I might have to draw this. xD;;; ROKA IS TOTALLY THE EVIL MAGICIAN THEY ARE FIGHTING AGAINST. JUST SAYIN'.
Another one that I remember enjoying, but didn't watch much of was Super Doll Licca-Chan. It was one of the only ones with a magical boy at the time, though. One of the super-dolls is a green-haired dude. xD And the opening themesong animation is awesome - if you can just find the OP, you should watch it and be amazed.
If you don't have time to watch the anime, the manga is *excellent*. My favorite character gets intro'd in the next ep of the anime (he is a bully, LOL - but so is my second favorite character, Chiba, who I ship with Takatsuki [the transman]). It's a really wonderful show, though. The voice acting, too, is really good. :D Watch iiit so I have someone to squee about it with.
... yeah, I'm totally drawing Mahoukiku Furikabutte. It's on my list of projects!
