invisibleunicornninja I got exactly 14 minutes and 38 seconds into episode one before quitting. It extremely boring. There is no visual style other than everyone having a squashed face for some reason. I know that character development takes a while, but none of the characters are even the slightest bit interesting. The few conversations happening are boring. Everything about this nothing ball is just BORING!

Josh Taylor I watched this series after seeing it on Netflix and reading a few reviews about it - most of them shining endorsements that oversold the actual product. Upon finishing the series, I looked for some more reviews to see how my opinion added up to others, and found it somewhat different.Most of the reviews on here laud this show as "the best thing on television" and a "masterpiece". This is far from the truth.Don't get me wrong. Madoka is good for what it is - a 12 part miniseries that can be binged in a few days. The plot, while it does contain some interesting surprises, I found largely predictable. At times I even caught myself wondering at the seeming lack of common sense of the characters, especially after the first major twist, but I guess that's what suspension of belief is all about.The animation style is good, but not quite on par with what I've seen in other series from the same time period, and sometimes it just gets plain weird. The music I can't really fault, as it's every bit what I expected from a Magical Girl anime. The plot starts thin as cheesecloth, starts getting darker as you go (there is one moment that really made me go "whoa...") and ends with fluff again.Ultimately, go into this one with a grain of salt. It's good - I watched the whole thing - but there were times I struggled to maintain interest. With the right expectations, it will be an enjoyable experience.

bonanue I didn't like it at all. The humor is for kids. Sailor moon came to my mind more than twice. The music wasn't for adults or even teenagers. I've seen nothing special in this series... and I prefer not to say anything about the "enemies" that appear... dear lord If you are tired of the new anime generation where there's a little girl that is reaaaally shy, the dialogs are meaningless and supposed to be funny, this is not for you. The plot may be interesting, but they have choose a very poor way to tell it. Also the powers are lame. The 5 first minutes looked good but then they started with the yelling, the "smiling to the camera", the huge pistol trick with shining rays.. no thank you

joelherro i really liked it, despite it being about young girls...the only other magical girl series I've watched is sexy magical girl which is a crazy hentai...this was nothing as mental as that...i had heard this was very dark, and i didn't think so to begin with, but maybe i was thinking 'dark' in terms of horror, which this isn't really, it is 'dark' in terms of despair and hopelessness...its actually a very intelligent, well thought anime, that had me guessing up til the end and keen to watch every episode...Madoka meets a strange creature that looks similar to a small dog, with long ears that talks (it is anime, so that is not as weird as it sounds!) named Kyubey. He offers to grant any wish she wants in return for making a contract for her soul, to fight witches for the rest of her life...what will her one wish be? awesome animation, interesting characters and a gripping story, but probably too deep and possibly disturbing for younger viewers (theres a lot of trippy imagery in this!)...its pretty awesome...
