Hi. I'm KillRoy231, and I love magical girl animes, among other niche animes with battles to the death against evil.

Sailor Moon was my first anime, at a young age, giving me a major interest in villain deaths. But, in later years of my youth, I came to believe the sexist judgment that only girls can watch shows like Sailor Moon. Until a dream reminded me of everything I loved about it, I did some research and saw that view was wrong. Perhaps this made me as open to shows with a set of female protagonists as I am now, such as MLP, Glitter Force, and, of course, Winx Club.

How I got into Winx Club
I was walking through an old video rental store looking for new stuff and saw a DVD of Winx Club, where Bloom, the main character, jumped out at me coz I thought she looked cute... I mean, cool. So, I look it up to make sure it's my kind of show first, which I confirmed after reading enough about Darkar.

Which dub I go by
Cinelume the whole way. It has the four seasons I have any interest in: As for the other dubs:
 * 1) Season 1 - Introductory season, epic battle at the end with the Army of Darkness (Evil Dead reference!), and some really fun moments.
 * 2) Season 2 - Darkar's season, also some fun moments.
 * 3) Season 3 - Valtor's season, and the most intense, every episode having to do with either him or one of his allies or victims.
 * 4) Season 4 - The fairy hunters' season, and also Roxy's. Not quite as fun, but the wizards are a refreshing change from the Trix, and I especially like Gantlos and Duman.

4Kids - Is all right, but doesn't have Season 4. (Initially I went by this dub, until Cinelume became easier to find and I gained interest in Season 4)

Nickelodeon - Didn't like the voices, condenses Seasons 1 and 2 to movies, and has seasons I have no interest in not only due to the villains not dying (except in Season 7), but also what I heard is being childish and ignoring continuity. Some like it and that's all right, but all around it's most convenient for me to go by Cinelume dub.

Favorite Winx
Bloom. In addition to what I said earlier, she's also quite a fierce warrior princess, how she singlehandedly defeated Icy and killed Valtor, also I really like female characters of fire element. (Not that I don't like some male fire characters too - Charizard)

Second is Stella, she's also awesome, powerful, beautiful, and funny. She used to be my favorite

The rest I like equally.

Favorite Villain
A tie between Darkar and Duman.

Darkar with the most menacing appearance, technically being behind the first three seasons (even though he died before Valtor had his turn, Valtor was created by the Ancient Witches, who served Darkar), and a reference to Lord of the Rings. And I really like his name. On the other hand, his Shadow Phoenix form was quite underwhelming, aside from his three tails

As for Duman, I love his mohawk, his shapeshifting power, and his voice (can't tell if his accent is Cockney or Australian but more people are leaning towards Cockney). This may sound strange but I almost want to brush his tail when he turns into a wolf (even though he'd probably bite my hand or head off if I tried).

Second is Gantlos, third is Valtor. Moving into the average section: Anagan, then Ogron. In last place, the Trix, they appeared in three seasons in a row and weren't always as fun, except when they were fighting over Valtor. Going by Cinelume, they remain trapped at Lightrock, and that's good enough for me. (Though their fate seems more final in Italian/Nick, Season 7)

Favorite Specialist
Probably Brandon. The rest, probably the same. If we're counting Nabu (who is a wizard but a Winx boyfriend like the specialists), he's pretty awesome too.

Favorite Season
Hard to say. Probably Season 2, even though there aren't as many episodes involving Darkar as there should be.

Favorite Pixie
Either Lockette or Amore.
