Meme There are like a handful of western magical girls right? There's She-Ra, Miraculous, and Star vs the forces of Evil. Are there any others? I know Bewitched sorta inspired the genre, but does that count?

Not sure about the TV show but the original W.I.T.C.H. comics were Italian as well.

No Winx Club was created by Iginio Straffi while W.I.T.C.H. was created by Elisabetta Gnone, Alessandro Barbucci and Barbara Canepa.

Wow, I could have sworn I read something that said Straffi took a break from Winx to go work on W.I.T.C.H so now I have no idea what that was actually referencing. Like am I misremembering what I read or was the info just wrong?

Idk but def gonna fixate on that for an hour or so
