http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=481
1986 Dream Hunter REM. Hentai, horror. An edited release was also made. Rem is a supernatural being with the appearance of an adolescent girl who enters human dreams to fight the monsters that live there. Sexual violence. The liminality theme here is that REM exists between dreams and reality; however, like Vampire Princess Miyu, her role as a guardian precludes her from either.

1990 - NG Knight Lamune and 40. An RPG based anime in which fantasy characters use magic in a fantasy world. These aren't Magical Girls.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=543
1994 Blue Seed.
Momiji is a girl with the power to save the world by sacrificing herself; unfortunately for her, this fact is not a secret. Since her power is not secret and is divine in origin, it can't really be considered magical. Not JW. This anime does have a strong liminality theme.

1994 Compiler - Plasma would be the candidate, but she barely appears in the anime.

1995 Megami Paradise - The Aerostar absorbs all evil, creating a paradise, until it becomes full; then the high priestess purifies the Aerostar, taking the evil into herself, becoming a powerful demon. Then the protected dolls have to fight against this demon while still under the influence of the Aerostar, which prevents hatred and aggression. Amazingly bland. The High Priestess is a woman, though, not a girl, so she doesn’t count, and there isn’t anyone else with a character.
