So you want extreme violence with no swearing? Are you a concerned American mother?
Reminds me a little of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Not exactly what OP was describing, but follows bucks the traditional magic girl trope.
Isn't this the premise of elfen lied?
...na: elfen lied is brutal all the way through from what i remember
but it's been years since I've seen it...
It's brutal, but some of the characters are portrayed innocently. I certainly thought of Elfen Lied from the description.
I can't remember for sure, but i think they don't really act as cutesy as OP describes? i remember everyone acting fairly mature, not really in that overly cute way...
the OP reminded me more of higurashi than anything else
I'm honestly not familiar with current day concepts of magi-girls. Particularly within some of the social groups on lemmy. It may just be my lack of exposure to anime in the last 15 years.
fair enough!
i had a couple multi-year phases where i didn't watch any either...happens shrug
Magical Girl Raising Project is exactly this lol
That's going straight into my watch list.
That premise went from Magical Girl to WTF fairly quickly.
Powerpuff Girls!
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan has the cutesy vibe contrasted with brutal and violent murders, though she keeps murdering the same boy over and over again and then bringing him back to life, so idk if that would constitute a war crime. Might be considered torture, so close enough!
I tried watching Kevin can fuck himself, which centers around an abused wife plotting her husbands murder. It became very clear he was never going to die, so hard pass.
Sort athe opposite of PSG where they have cutsey magical girls that curse and sin all of the time but have no consequences. Except for the Phoenix wright episode.

no no, i want everything else to be cutesy and PG. no cursing, only cute substitutions like "oh golly!"
I want to watch anime school girls with wide eyes and wholesome demeanors say "oopsie daisy!" while they commit war crimes
Not an anime, but the web novel Magical Girl Crystal Genocide by RavensDagger is pretty much exactly this. Except Crystal is the only magical girl who doesn't swear, but the series revolves around her anyways, so it's fine.
