watch Symphogear!

Symphogear's CHRONOLOGICAL watch order (actually, it isn't as straight forward as it looks)

Be sure to read the caps for every entry below.

Entries in this list may include the following:
1. Awesome action
2. Great music
3. Very thick yuri subtext
4. Nana Mizuki

I highly recommend the Nanoha series; Symphogear is basically a spiritual sequel to it.
Also, feel free to recommend more series to add to this collection, I'm always looking for more! Just comment on my Profile or something.
If you're into manga, try "Hero-san to Moto Onna Kanbu-san"! Sadly I can't change the type of stack after publishing it lol.

These are series that may appeal to an otaku with an ENFJ or INFJ-type personality.

Not including films. The seasons added are subjectively the best to me. These are not in order.

A list of Mahou Shoujo anime where existence of magical girls is not a secret and the world knows they do exist.

Anime's where the characters sing while they are fighting or the songs are integrated in to the action scenes.

They can be full-on musicals or just have similar sequences throughout.

Commonly the songs give them powers or abilities.

tokusatsu/henshin hero inspired anime

Includes all* anime on the Anime+/GRAPH mahou shoujo/magical girl achievement list

Notes:
If the anime is saved under a different name in the original list (and the ID matches), the listed title is added as a comment. The anime will keep its place according to the list - even if it will no longer be alphabetically correct according to its main title on MAL. This is to make the job of checking and updating these much easier for me.

*The main stacks do NOT include hentai. This is both for people who want to avoid it, and because including it will significantly limit the stack. Please proceed to the Hentai Edition™ in the list below if you're into that.

Anime where Miki Shinichiro plays a main character, or at least a character important enough to the story.
