How important are the transformations and outfits to you when starting a show?
I know that a good story of course matters as well, but since these are so iconic as part of the magical girl show experience - I'm curious to hear if lack of or knowing it will take a while to see, can affect how much time you wanna spend on a magical girl show?
I'm working on the concept and writing of my own magical girl (+1 boy lol) story, which I would love to go further with as either a comic or animated pilot in the future.
As of now, I feel like it makes the most sense for my story to wait at least a few "episodes", if not longer to actually show them getting a transformation sequence - but I am slightly nervous if people have the patience for that, especially if they expect that as part of beginning a new magical girl show.
I mean I am also working on trying to make the plot interesting, as well as the characters - but I can't help but wonder in advance! haha
I am also still trying to figure out, how much I want to show of the transformation designs in advance, before the story gets a chance to unfold properly
