Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Prétear are two magical girl series that have some interesting takes on the genre, with the former series using deconstructive elements to fuel its plot and the latter having the magical girl's powers mainly being channeled through seven magical boys. Both series have dark elements (especially in Madoka Magica), even providing some dark surprises, and both even start out with the main protagonist being unsure about accepting their newfound situations.
