Winx Club is an animated television show that, as of 2004, is currently airing on Fox Kids in the U.S. It features fictional characters that use magic.
In the first episode, Bloom, a red-headed teenager from the Earth city Gardenia, stumbles upon Stella, who is locked in combat with an ogre and several other monsters.
Stella is about to be blasted into smithereens when Bloom, frightened by the monsters, unwittingly lets off a magical blast, which hits the ogre. The ogre manages to catch Bloom, but Stella comes to the rescue with a blast from her scepter. Exhausted, Stella faints and Bloom brings her home.
When Bloom wakes up the next day she thinks it was all a dream. Later that day the ogre attacks again and this time he brings a troll with him. Luckily the specialists from Red Fountain (a school for boys) arrive and save the girls.
Stella invites Bloom to attend Alfea, a school for fairies in another dimension. At first, Bloom's parents are skeptical, but Stella shows them the school and they are soon convinced to let Bloom attend Alfea.
Together with Stella, Techna, Flora & Musa, Bloom form the Winx. A group of first-year fairies. The Winx do everything in their power to stop te evil plans of the Trix, a group of three evil witches.
During the series, Bloom and her friends discover more of their powers, and grow to be the most powerful fairies ever.
Although not Japanese, Winx Club shares many traits with Magical Girl animes. There are transformation sequences, magical gizmos, announced attacks, and of course, a romantic subplot.
