Well this was a beautiful show.

If you love Sagitta Luminis check out Clementia. Also an oboe solo, and it presages Madoka’s salvation act because it shows her desire to give mercy to Sayaka when it seems impossible. Absolutely beautiful. Junko best mother.

It really filled me with a magnitude of emotions as I was watching it for the first time, resulting in my misplaced anger in some scenes, but thinking back on it, it was so perfect all around. The scene with Clementia mentioned above was just unforgettable.
Amazing OST and incredible screen writing. I was particularly astonished by how realistic the characters and their thought processes were in a show about witches and freaking magical girls.
All in all, this is surely the epitome of what anime should be.

oh hey it's the Darling in the Franxx guy. hi again~

glad to see you got onto how absurdly good Shaft can be :)) i watched Madoka first before Bakemonogatari, and both blew me away, though the latter in much more of a 'slow burn' way than the former. *insert typical 3looming Monogatari Series plug right here.*

First things first.. by GOD the OST is Amazing!! Absolutely Amazing! I have so much respect for the composer Yuki Kajiura. For reference I watched and listened to the Blu-ray release of this show and of course with proper display and sound set up. All that said I personally loved Scaena Felix, Amicae Carae Meae, Sis Puella Magica!, Credens Justitiam, Postmeridie, Agmen Clientum, Invitabilis, and finally the track where the tears came Sagitta Luminis. Basically I absolutely adored most if not all the tracks, but specially that last one.

The scene that plays in the last episode after Madoka places her wish along with the ost "Sagitta Luminis (Arrow of Light)" did tug at the heart strings for me. It was beautiful to see Madoka in the end mend all those hurt. It was also wholesome to see that everything Homura did for Madoka in the end mattered, was fully understood and appreciated by Madoka. There was an obvious disconnect between these two friends throughout the show and a disconnect for viewers because of lack of context, but I think the way it was eventually presented is appreciable too. By the conclusion of the show l was left wanting more, but also that Madoka Magica is exemplary of everything a great anime should be. I thoroughly enjoyed every facet of Madoka Magica and am happy to know there is more to see soon.

imo the best theme on the show is Decretum, I don't think Sayaka's transformation would had been so impactful with another piece
