Magical Girls are Witches Without Pointed Hats

Witches and wizards, magic and mayhem. Spell books, mana, and Tolkien. These are all ingredients for a classic fantasy recipe. Across the pond, Japanese anime has witches in the form of magical girls without their pointed hats. Magic schools without four houses. Yokai instead of dragons. Come explore why those differences exist and how distinct versions of magical fantasy have evolved; and in some cases, switched schools of magic with one another!
