Agree to disagree. A lot of people love Magical Girl Anime because they're lighthearted and fun in feeling, but can still take the time to save the world and show that it's a tough position the girls are fighting from. Tropes exist for a reason; people enjoy them.

Ever since I started actively writing for myself, trying to avoid tropes, I've been noticing them in a lot of books...and the bestsellers are always the 'worst' for Tropes. Because they sell. I don't even want to know how many Mary Sue Main Characters I've seen in the books that get their own stands in bookstores, and yet there they are. Tropes sell, a genre is called a genre because they're similar in tone, and that doesn't make it stale. It makes it a genre.

Just because you don't like Magical Girl Anime doesn't make it cringey. It makes it not to your taste.
