Generally, the demographic for magical girl series is younger than what Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka is going for and that style seems to exist as anime in this universe.
While Sailor Moon is far from militarized in the same sense, the team-based aspect that it popularized in the magical girl genre in the early ‘90s can be seen as a step towards where Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka has taken us today.
Perhaps one of the smarter attempts to freshen up the genre is the way Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka covers up how people aren’t able to tell who a magical girl is when she’s transformed.
