i posted this to reddit before, where, in addition to excellent discourse on the topic, commenters gave me these examples from actual anime:
the inumimi from tokyo mew mew
a similar vibe with an even more surprising species from super pig
some more people who have posted about this same basic idea:
this post from @momolady
this post from @barbaricjester
this post from @llilobnuy
this post from @crypt1dglyph5
to all of you: so true bestie
this post is now perhaps the most authoritative set of links about the idea of mashing up a werewolf transformation sequence and a magical girl transformation sequence anywhere on the internet
missed this one from @guoh
this combo from @valtsv and @jaegershund
This screenshot got put through the repost plinko and I'm unfortunately been unable to find either of the people who posted it, but add it to the list in case anyone else knows how to find them.
AMAZING thank you!
