...then you might like Shinsekai yori add

I really wish that someone had told me about Shinsekai yori when I first watched Madoka. Most of the recommendations on the Madoka page are either "dark" magical girl series or shows that people think are "deconstructions" of certain genres. However, I didn't love Madoka because of either of those things- I liked it because of the way that the plot came together so well; I loved that every detail mattered, and that revelations later in the series were foreshadowed early on. I also liked how Madoka wasn't afriad to tackle big issues. Shinsekai yori is a series that has a similar structure to Madoka, with more aspects of the plot being gradually revealed every few episodes. It also addresses a lot of important aspects of human nature. While Shinsekai yori can sometimes be confusing or difficult to watch (it starts very slowly), it is extremely rewarding, especially for people who like it when the plot is full of twists and turns.

This might seem like a strange recommendation, given that one series is about supernatural events, and one is about trans children living their everyday lives. However, they're both slice of life series that have a similar bittersweet atmosphere. This atmosphere is created largely through the art and sound in each of them. They also both feature very beautiful backgrounds.

Both have chaotic plots that become nonsensical over time, pink haired female protagonists, and a strange preoccupation with god. They also both have plot holes and huge casts that are utilized poorly. I would argue Mirai Nikki is worse on both these accounts, though that is not the general consensus.
