In my personal opinion, it doesn't deserve to be a spin-off of Madoka Magica. The story was at best mediocre, and if you look at it from the lenses of Madoka Magica, it's just not good enough. Madoka Magica had a balance, and it was damn good. It was hopeful, not typical Mahou Shoujo hopeful, but enough to make it all the more heartbreaking when something bad happened. In Magia record, it was the same, except nothing bad happened. "wHaT?! The secret of the soul gems?! The thing we figured out nine years ago? What ever could it be?" yeah the pacing isn't very good ... either. That was at like, the last episode. What happened to Ui? You're going to have to wait for the season two that's SUPPOSEDLY out, as seen on YouTube, but nowhere to be found. "Oh that's fine I'll just play the game" The English servers are shutting down. Honestly, it's like they don't have a plot and are just stalling for time to try to come up with one. The main characters' designs all look the same, too. They're all divided into the chest and the rest of the body. Every outfit could work with any character if you changed the color schemes. That wasn't a problem in the slightest in Madoka Magica, all of the designs would look odd on another character because the shape itself reflects the personality. Oh yeah, personality, Magia Record characters don't have that. Iroha's only character traits are not being able to use technology and she's looking for her sister, which aren't even character traits. "But Madoka doesn't have character traits either!" yeah she does, she constantly second guesses herself throughout the series but never in an annoying way because it's subtle. Magia Record doesn't even get subtlety right. I get the standards are really high, but Magia Record wouldn't even work if Madoka Magica didn't exist and it was a standalone.

TL;DR don't watch Magia Record, it's not worth it. Especially if you liked Madoka Magica, or you haven't watched Madoka Magica.
