* [[Unbuilt Trope]]: ''(Is there an earlier straight example?)'' ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'', aired from 1981-1986. The first major work by [[Rumiko Takahashi]] is often considered the original Magical Girlfriend [[Parody]], enough that the bumbling well-meaning Magical Girlfriend has become an archetype in its own right. The show's poster girl, a cutesy alien named Lum who habitually wears a tiger-striped bikini, is easily one of the most recognizable anime characters in history.
** [[Trope Codifier]]: ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]'' (OVA - 1993; TV - 2005). The standard-bearer for the Magical Girlfriend genre, Ah! My Goddess (Aa! Megami-sama) is based on a long-running manga, starting in 1988. An OVA adaptation was made in 1993. The OVA had a feature-length movie continuation in 2000, and then a full-scale retelling on television which began in 2005. The manga series is still ongoing.
