| Mahou shoujo? I'm in. |
 |
| Moe blobs, or at the very least, more blob than the normal blobs. Feels like a Madoka clone or at least influenced by it. |
| Loli Mahou Shoujo with some Madoka vibe. The background art looks pretty good. Interesting that they announced the seiyuu info first not the studio or staff. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Gorgeous scenery. Cool powers. But lolis. And looks very influenced by madoka. |
| Looks interesting enough. Do we have any studio's name? |
 |
| Loving the art style. |

| Hm... - Dark atmosphere - Magic - Cute girls - Attractive art style - Solid voice cast Seems like Madoka Magica has inspired another dark magical girl show. The PV has piqued my interest, so I'm expecting much from this. |

| This looks really good. Sort of reminds me of Madoka. |

| How come everyone thinks that every new magical girl anime is influenced and somehow going to be inspired by Madoka? Can't we have a new mahou shoujo that doesn't somehow relate to Madoka, please? |

ihateeveryone said: How come everyone thinks that every new magical girl anime is influenced and somehow going to be inspired by Madoka? Can't we have a new mahou shoujo that doesn't somehow relate to Madoka, please? It's kinda like taking an idol series and comparing it to iDOLM@STER. Even if the series is different at heart from Madoka, there are a lot of exterior similarities that will lead to the inevitable comparisons. The same thing can happen between shows like Mondaiji and Dog Days, K-on and moeblog anime, Sword Art Online and the .hack series, and ecchi action series similar to Senran Kagura. |
| Yeah... Uh... NO! Not much for the magical girls stuff. |
 |
| I don't mind the mahou shoujo theme but I rly don't like the art. Why so moe? It's so annoying. At least Madoka had some decent art. |

At least Madoka had some decent art. Madoka's art is also moe, to most people at least. Why so moe? Cause it sells, why it sells? cause popular, why popular? cause people like, people who spend their money, that is, so when people like, japan make more. |

Downgrade355 said: To be honest, Madoka's art was not thought to be moe at the beginning. People always have some reservation about the character design of Aoki Ume (despite the success of Hidamari). So you are right in saying that it got moe because it got popular first. Maffy said: Madoka's art is also moe, to most people at least. Why so moe?

It's so annoying. At least Madoka had some decent art. And for this anime, the initial reaction of fans in Japan does not seem to call it moe. So Maffy, your reaction is basically: "I don't like this cute art style, so it must be moe", which is not really how you understand moe and its artstyle. |

| It remain Madoka, yes. But it reminedes some other animes too. Rozen Maiden at most. But I like the PV and voice cast are good so I'll try it |

"moe" isn't an artstyle to begin with, so anyone calling this "moe" clearly has no idea what's going on or what even "moe" means, and of course fans in japan won't call it "moe", because moe isn't an artstyle or an anime genre for that matter. |
Downgrade355 said: True, although personally I'd accept a term "moe artstyle" for a category of art style which a lot of fans would identify to have moe appeal straight away just from the design itself, before even any animation, story, voice acting or music kicks in. And this kind of artstyle is not what this anime or Madoka has."moe" isn't an artstyle to begin with, so anyone calling this "moe" clearly has no idea what's going on or what even "moe" means, and of course fans in japan won't call it "moe", because moe isn't an artstyle or an anime genre for that matter. |

I agree. "Moe" is a fairly subjective term and has no objective basis for what can and cannot be applied to it, but through the popular application of typical character archetypes, the meaning to it has been lost within the otaku fanbase. The term moe can literally be applied to anything and Madoka is far from an exception. Don't confuse the meaning of "moe" while making improper generalizations! |

| not so interesting preview. good seiyu cast tho. i'm in. |
  |
| Preview looks great! Reminded me a bit of MAdoka, so it's even better! I'm definitely in. It seems that I will be watching two magical girl anime this summer. :3 |
| Looks more like Prism Nana than Madoka to me. Well I see some nice action so I'm in. |

Can't we have a new mahou shoujo that doesn't somehow relate to Madoka, please? Which is rather natural due to popularity and being more adult oriented - ok Nanoha also does this but it's smaller now it seems. And to second thing... there is Precure (ok it's for kids but genre fits), somewhere this year there will be also Sailor Moon. There was some project from ufotable if I recall. |

Normally I don't use production studios as a basis for evaluation, but Shaft and White Fox are pretty damn consistent when it comes to making good anime as compared to most others (going off what I've read on reviews and the few that I've seen from either of them). |

Um... not really. At least for SHAFT. I guess if you forget about every SHAFT production that isn't Hidamari Sketch, *monogatari, or Madoka, maybe. But they also did their fair share of average stuff like Denpa Onna or Moon Phase, and outright bad stuff like Dance in the Vampire Bund. As for White Fox, it doesn't seem like they have done a whole lot but even then I'm pretty sure the only ones they've done that are generally considered very good are Katanagatari and Steins;Gate. SHAFT also has SZS, Arakawa under the bridge, and Maria Holic which I rarely almost never see people say bad things about. Jormungand and Tears to tiara were pretty good adaptions from White fox. |
