First of all: This show is great, and does many things right.
The soundtrack is great. The portrayal of war, its crimes, and the effects those crimes have on soldiers and civilans alike is brilliant and very well done.
To keep this review spoiler-free, I will just sum up my main crisicisms here:
There's a giant plot hole, an important character that gets ZERO background eventhough they desperatly need one, and a VERY rushed ending.
Among all these great episode there's one where basically nothing happens. They could've instead used it to answer some of the many unanswered questions or give the ending more time to unfold. Still

Take Madoka, and remove (almost) everything that made it so good. Now you have Magia Record.
The Original Madoka had a small, but memorable cast of characters and a pretty simple, but powerful story.

The pink/neon colours are cool during the first scene but get boring quickly and don't look like a threat at all. Basically it's an action movie about fire where it's hard to follow the action and the fire looks just ...

Koe no Katachi

Koe no Katachi is painful.
I think a lot of people can agree with this statement after watching the Movie. The Story it tells is simple, but very touching and relatable for people who either bullied others, watched others get bullied or were bullied themselves - so basically everybody! Quick Info about myself: I'm deaf on one ear and hearing impaired on the other, and for many years my Life was pretty similar to Shoukos. Especially the Scene where her Hearing Aid was destroyed hit me very hard because the same thing happened to me. (Unfortunatly nobody admitted it and in the end I didn't get the ... |
