(/Magic Girl/) These are titles which feature young girls who are given magical powers by a powerful entity or come from a realm where magic is the norm.
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon is a classic example of the genre and
Ultra Maniac TV is a modern version of the genre.
Not a genre but actually a demographic. Refers to anime based on manga that was originally serialized in a magazine targeting girls of any age. American fans seem to often be confused and classify any show that has romance and/or major female main characters as shoujo-- this is wrong.
Anime based on manga targeting young women would be called josei. (though very little of the manga targetting young women gets made into anime-- the only ones I can think of are Ebichu and Momoiro Sisters.)

16 year old Marron goes to high school with her best friend Miyako, lives in an apartment by herself, and just so happens to have to soul of Jeanne D'Arc (Joan Of Arc). She moonlights as a thief named Jeanne who vanquishes demons that possess works of art and the people that admire them. To do this, she must steal the actual object, which is why people think she's more of a thief than a heroine. To makes things a bit more interesting, Miyako's father is the head detective on catching Jeanne, and Miyako is just as determined to catch her. Smooth talking Chiaki moves into the apartment next door to Marron, and also turns out to be a rival thief, Katiou Sinbad. Can rival thieves fulfill their purpose while falling in love?
