W.I.T.C.H. vs Winx

I think the winner is pretty obvious. Need a hint? It is the one with an older history, clever lines and spunkier characters.

Please don't say Winx Club.

There was a point in time when I used to like Winx (only because of Tecna, Brandon & Musa), but even then, I feared that it would go the way of becoming a matchmaking sorority filled with girly girls. And eventually, it did. It didn't help that I disapproved of most of the pairings. That made me sick and tired of it. Having more than one season was one too many.

Below is a brief breakdown of each series:

	Winx Club	W.I.T.C.H
Opening intros/Closing credits	The video clips were too girly and glittery for my taste, but some of the music were sweet and memorable. Eye-candy sweetness at best, so-sweet-it's-sour pineapples at worst.	There are 2 versions – the US and the EU versions. I like both, but US > EU, because Marion Raven sang it and it has better lyrics. Great video clips.
Clothes & style	Outrageously colourful/glittery midriff-exposing outfits. They may look nice to Barbie-lovers, but they do not look like powerful warriors to me. The eye-candy clothes that would make many females jealous.	Normal and decent clothes. Their transformation outfits are weird and uniform, but grew on me after a while.
Plot	Good guys turned bad only because they were under a spell/hypnotised.	There are double agents in the story, which is more believable and makes things more interesting.
Characters	Girly and boy-crazy fashionistas with butt-reaching long hair. Pass. The specialists tone down the glittery stuff and brings balance to the show. The villains are mild nuisances, especially the Trix.	Thankfully, not everyone in the team is boy-crazy and “conveniently” paired up with another person. Caleb (voiced by Greg Cipes a.k.a. Kevin Levin & Beast Boy) is similar to what you would expect of Kevin. The villains are average, but may prove to be a threat in time.
Setting	Purely magic meets modern	Traditional Chinese legends (courtesy of Hay Lin & her grandma) meets magic meets modern
Action sequences	Overly dramatic with time-wasting transformations and cut-in spell scenes.	Despite the usual transformation sequences, the fight scenes involve more strategic-thinking and elemental combinations.
