Seconding Puella Magi Madoka Magika. I don't usually think of Revolutionary Girl Utena as magical girl, but I do usually think of it as amazing.

So far as prose goes, though, there's a rather old (2002) work of online fiction called sailor nothing, which is a magical-girl story from the PoV of someone who's grown up watching magical-girl anime. It's also quite dark, with a lot of warnings. I enjoyed it when I first read it, and I thought it had a lot of really cool hypertext stuff going on, but I haven't re-read it recently. I can only hope it hasn't been visited by the suck fairy.

Nod, thanks. I will read the story pretty soon. I'm marathoning Sailormoon, what there is of it on Hulu.
