At first the satire at CD seemed like a desperate trolling for attention by an intellectually bankrupt blogger, but after seeing 47 episodes of Max Heart, this rang somewhat true:
Viewer: I read on an internet forum that this show is extremely popular amongst young adults
Drosselmeyer: What, really? That’s nonsense! I haven’t put in a single giant robot or booby jiggle. I bet they’re all young girls pretending to be older than they are. Kids these days are whizzes on the internet you know. Anyway, she’s still changing into Princess Tutu. Look, I’ve started the transformation sequence and everything.
The popularity of magical girl shows outside of their target demographic is something that is not analyzed enough, I think. Ironically Tutu is a special exception, since it offers so much more than a generic formula (Scamp's mocking carefuly avoids mentioning any of that, of course). But still, what does make a functional adult to watch 47, 52, or 70 transformation decks? No disrespect to Dual Aurora Wave intented, of course.
