[...] when DnD 5e hit, my group used to joke about the 5e Warlock being the Mahou Shoujo class.
That's not the only magical girl class in D&D; you can make a good case that Sailor Moon is a bard. See also this post here (the real punchline's in the tags, IMO).

Alanis, killed by an orc magical girl
#ironically pathfinder's official magical girl subclass is actually pretty bad at being a magical girl because it's trying too hard

In 5e you can make a pretty good case for an Protector Aasimar Devotion Paladin being one too, because between: - Radiant Soul - Sacred Weapon - Shield of Faith and probably a couple of others I'm missing, you can turn your character into the most powerful combatant on the battlefield (complete with flying and glowing) at the expense of taking a minimum of 2 full rounds to just activate all of your features (i.e. a 12-second magical girl transformation)

Pathfinder beat out 5e by setting up a rather complex character class to be a magical girl in it's first edition.
