    So you want extreme violence with no swearing? Are you a concerned American mother?

    Reminds me a little of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Not exactly what OP was describing, but follows bucks the traditional magic girl trope.

    Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan has the cutesy vibe contrasted with brutal and violent murders, though she keeps murdering the same boy over and over again and then bringing him back to life, so idk if that would constitute a war crime. Might be considered torture, so close enough!

    I tried watching Kevin can fuck himself, which centers around an abused wife plotting her husbands murder. It became very clear he was never going to die, so hard pass.

    Personally, I like cute animes where the main character is like “oh no, I made a fucksy wucksy” as she commits accidental magical genocide with fully realized (permanent) consequences, then the story continues fully exploring the changed world moving forward

    biggest-gaudiest-patronuses

    typical magical girl series but the female protagonists are allowed to just straight up murder people. is that asking so much

    rathersketchy

    also they’re allowed to say fuck

    biggest-gaudiest-patronuses

    no no, i want everything else to be cutesy and PG. no cursing, only cute substitutions like “oh golly!”

    I want to watch anime school girls with wide eyes and wholesome demeanors say “oopsie daisy!” while they commit war crimes

    Not an anime, but the web novel Magical Girl Crystal Genocide by RavensDagger is pretty much exactly this. Except Crystal is the only magical girl who doesn’t swear, but the series revolves around her anyways, so it’s fine.
