Madoka Magica is Overrated

Information
Madoka is like Sword Art Online,the main reason why people call it good cause of its shock value.It is all about SHOCK value nothing more,and its not dumb to think so.It also good for being "Gen Urobochi's" work.Reputation rather than actual quality. Madoka also has the worst consistency in plot writing that I have ever seen in years.Making stuff up as they go along and such.It's as if the rules of the Death Note keep changing for no reason.Even the newer anime can keep things together better than this. I don't hear much talking about it the plot and characters but advertising it.It isn't just moe killing the industry,its more about anime fandom wanting to show off than care for actual storytelling. So, in the beginning, Madoka through Mami learns of the magical world,and wants to be a magical girl then Homura tries to stop her.the second half is poorly done time travel and changing the rules of the game,through a lot of deus ex machinas and contrivances. Madoka- basically some one who does absolutely nothing till like ep 12.that makes a wish to be a god .Arguably, she made thing worse for everyone around her.It only works through a time travel convince power up.Homura did nothing different that warranted this wish in the first place, therefore it is a contrivance.This is a so called "big deal" to the fanbase and the anime,but her moral conflict to wish or not to wish means nothing special as she had no real choice. Mami- Her death made it a 10/10 masterpiece among the fanbase,Oh yeah it is a epic plot hole,consdering what happens at ep 12.The 'Forget what you know about the magical girls/deconstruction" title is very undeserving for the story. PEOPLE GET BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE.Why should I care for the Dark consequences of their wishes if this is the case.Just like Kirito for SAO. Blue haired-"Waah! even though being a magical girl already makes me not human, and that nobody stopped me from getting a boy I like, i will kill myself".For a Shoujo,Girls are pathetic in this story,and that's saying something. Red haired-seemed interesting at first but she ended up dying for blue one for some lame to "stay by her side" reason. None of these girls are realistic,They seem to be reading the script of End of Evangelion and trying their best to up the Emo Angst for no reason. kuubey- These people can make wishes to create god more powerful than themselves,they cant think up the solutions to entropy themselves?Why can they get one girl to wish for no entropy and don't give me that time travel power up bs that is a plot hole because of how shoehorned it is.There was never a real explanation for the witches origins,being magical girls doesn't explain the first witches and the original existence.They make things worse for the universe in the movie.Logical yeah right. Homura-You can't change the future using information from the past,its bad writing and each reset the characters had completely different personalities,Mami turns from her "justice" to just killing her friends for no sane reason. So now the rules have changed, the witches are now something else and Madoka is god.Change the rules,destroy the original plot.The visuals are stunning but mostly irrelevant to the story.its just there for show and sometimes it seems difficult to follow the plot. Inconsistent characters,bad plot and botched themes,The SAO of magical girls.About the movie, it is pretty hypocritical to like the anime while hating movie 3,for the movie is a direct canon sequel to it.To me Madoka has always been a fanfic tier anime and the movie is just the natural result of it. FINAL SCORE 4/10

This is cursed and edgy. There's not like any thought put into this review. It looks like you just saw what was popular at the time or saw some shit like "why Madoka could beat your favorite character" and just wanted to rag on it.

Plus you don't space after periods and I learned how to do that in 6th grade so...
