Just another voice to chime in. I'm in a game that tried to be a magical girl campaign, and we had a pretty hard time at that. They don't have much spell variety, they are limited in talents by not being stalker or avenger vigilantes, they are not versatile enough to make an interesting diverse team. Eventually we decided to use multiple classes and a homebrew spell list for Magical Child.
Magical Child as it is does not really fit the flavor of a magical girl. Other than Card Captor Sakura, I can't think of any other "summoner" magical girl, and even she had a greater variety of Magic. Magical girl shows tend to be full of flashy magical blasts, but Magical Child lacks ranged elemental spells. Or Color Spray and other "power of love" illusion spells. Even with a limited spell list there should be some of those.
Somehow it feels more like Paizo wanted a Summoner Vigilante archetype and slapped the magical girl theme after it was done. I also wish there was a more fitting attempt at that
