The Pierrot Magical Girl Series (ぴえろ魔法少女シリーズ) is a series of Japanese magical girl anime series by Studio Pierrot.
History
Before Studio Pierrot started making magical girl anime, Magical Princess Minky Momo (also known as Gigi outside Japan), animated by the studio Ashi Productions and produced in cooperation with Yomiko Advertising, gained popularity. Afterwards, Yomiko Advertising approached Studio Pierrot to create a new majokko (魔女っ子) anime, which would become Magical Angel Creamy Mami. In the 1980s, three other series would follow Creamy Mami.
Within Studio Pierrot, the name magical girl (魔法少女) would be used, although majokko would also be sometimes used.
Minky Momo and Creamy Mami together started what would later be called the "Second Magical Girl Boom" (第2期魔法少女ブーム).[1]
After a 12-year gap, Fancy Lala aired on TV Tokyo
