Why do you like Winx?, Well? Options

[Another Morning]

So, there's a topic somewhere around here about how you first heard of/saw Winx. But what was it that made you keep watching?

I think for me, it's that first of all, I really like modern fantasy in general. And the idea of being thrust into a new world where there is magic and whatnot has always fascinated me. I also like that they branched out into some more uncommon powers (like music and technology).

Their personalities also drew me in. They were different, but they clicked, and each girl had something about them I could identify with.

At first, the art style was kind of jarring to me, and I couldn't decide if I liked it or not. But that now I'm used it it, I'm more fond of it. At least it's distinct.

To be honesty, Winx has always been sort of a guilty pleasure for me .___. I'm really not very "girly" at all, and most shows that have to do with teenagers make me want to barf. Not to mention the sometimes-hilarious 4kids script. But something about it just made me stick with it anyway.

How about you? O:

[Zhanneel]

I think I'd have to agree with you on pretty much everything you just said. I don't have too many girly shows I get into, other than Winx. And yeah we all know it can be predictable and silly and probably made for kids much younger than us, but doesn't mean we're going to stop watching it xP.

It was the humor and theme of mixing the modern world with the magical world that first grabbed my attention. Then, I began to love watching the relationships grow between the characters. Call me corny, but I like to see friends acting like friends, sticking up for each other, laughing, yelling, fighting for what's right. I guess I never got that experience in high school since most of my friends were pretty fake as it was, and perhaps I'm vicariously living out my high school dreams through cartoon characters. Lol, sad I know. Whatever the reason, I love the idea of a tight-knit group of friends. It's a refreshing change to the common dysfunctional relationships I've noticed in many modern cartoons/shows.

For me, it's mainly the design; the way it's drawn, the worlds that are created... and even though they're not as developed as some other cartoons, most characters are extremely likeable in my opinion.

And hot bishies. So.... many.... hot bishies.....

Initial reason for me. Now I like the music and the story line, even though it has more holes then a dounut.

Also I wish I had magic and could blow things up.. .. .. yeah

[Tom273]

I love the music and the plot is cool + everything about Winx club is cute ^^

Don't donuts only have one hole?

[winxclub-joy]

Outfits and character designs? Honesty, the stories didn't attract me much. When the first time I've begin to watch winx club, I just got attracted by their beautiful animations, Magic, outfits and character design (After some time I discovered that their animation aren't so good. And also really familiar that what I've imagined how my fantasy land are like since young. [i](I love magic, fairies and all those fictional creatures! And when I was still a naive girl, I believe their existence!)



And honesty, if I didn't went to their company site, I didn't know that Tommy and Oscar is part of Rainbow production! I was surprised as I soon begin to discovered that Straffi have different styles of drawings, unlike disney. (Disney have their own ways of drawings too, except their eyes which I've discovered are almost the same.)

Don't donuts only have one hole?

Lol, I thought the phrase was: "...even though it has more holes than a donut factory."

[P-girl]

Ah, I see.... In Holland, we usually use Swiss Cheese to say something's holey. (And we once had an advertisement campaign about people who didn't have holes in their cheese, and punched their own. Off topic? A bit. Funny? One of them used a JACKHAMMER to get holes in his cheese.)

[Jahnavi]

Lol. ^^

[Tiny Dragon]

Even though it has some issues the story is what draws me in. That and the characters. I am not a big fan of clothing, make up, or girlie things but I do love bright colours and damn the Winx Club is bright.

I have always been attracted to this kind of show. Fantasy, romance and action all rolled into one.

[Another Morning]

XD I agree with Zhan in that it's fun to just see a group of people be friends and genuinly care about each other. While dysfunction and self-centeredness may be funny sometimes, it seems like it's becoming the standard, and then it gets kind of annoying :/

I, too, had a weakness for the clothes x.x Especially their transformation outfits.

And P-girl...now I want to attack some cheese with a jackhammer. XD

[winxclub-joy]

lolz

Romance and fantasy are always my type!!!! xD

[musaenchantixthe...]

the way they look, they are so pretty. and their outfits. plus they're fairies. winx club was my first "fairy tale" story. its the first i seen about fairies. they are the one who made me love fairies. and i love how they are about magic of friendship. plus they deal with real life problems that people go through.

[mightymarty2]

i don't know I just liked the hole lot as soon as I watched it. I do like the hole friends sticking up for each other . In school I never really had that

[musaenchantixthe...]

aww... thats sad to hear. its ok marty. *hugz*
i understand you. i would stick up for a friend but that 'friend' didn't stick up for me. she thought her problems were bigger then mine. there's a lot of stuff she doesn't know about me and what i've been through.
its sad that she turn her back against me and just care about popularity.
why do girls care so much about popularity and why do they kill themselves over a guy. i can never get that. its a shame.

Bishies, or Bishonen are men, drawn a certain way (With some feminine touches), which I find very hot. Winx examples are:

Ophir/Nabu

Avalon

Helia

Valtor
And of course, the penultimate example:

Season 2 Palladium.
