honestly one of my favourite under utilized things in the magical girl genre are “in action” transformations seen from the outside
these are so cool to me!!!
I JUST REALIZED I FORGOT ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE EXAMPLES:
i had a friend who called these “drive through henshins” and i thought that was the coolest term
And this is why I get mad when i see people mocking Henshin Sequences regarding how long they last and why don’t the bad guys just shoot them while they’re twirling and such bah blah blah.
