So I finished Madoka
And it was pretty good!
I’ve been seeing it around probably for a year now? Somewhere around there.
But anyways it’s a pretty popular 12 episode anime that isn’t what it appears…
On the outside I too thought it was just an average moe magical girl Anime but it’s actually a darker toned almost psychological drama like Umineko or Evangelion.
The concept is pretty cool: If you’re able to see a certain character you are able to make any wish despite how hardcore the wish. However, you will become a Magical Girl and live a self sacrificial life. The job of a Magical Girl? Exterminate the evil witches whom are killing humans and getting stronger.
Killing a witch will give you an item that heals a Magical Girl’s magic which plays an important part. It’s pretty cool stuff and the thing I liked was depending on the wish you make, you’ll have a different affinity. Example: A character uses the wish to heal someone and they have heightened regeneration. I like dat.
Each of the Magical Girls all have difficult obstacles to overcome as the show progresses and it’s cool to see how a miracle can actually have a negative effect on someone.
There are a couple things I thought were nubkin like Madoka crying every episode but it can’t be perfect!
Definitely worth a checkout! It’s only 12 episodes so what’s the harm?
