The music really complements the story given and I like the opening theme.
The story tells in a very dark and serious tone which means that this anime really wants the viewers to really take this anime seriously. This anime is about Madoka & Miki who encountered the strange creature Kyubey who offers a contract in which a girl can be granted any wish in return having magical powers. The story also talks about trust and betrayal between friends.
However, the magical powers are not something which is easy to handle. If there is one mistake, and you will be gone. Having magical powers do not guarantee happiness because sometimes these magical powers have bad effects and can turn a person into a witch which means every girl has a soul gem and if it is not polished by defeating witches, they instead will become one of them.
Basically, the characters really learn how to trust and care one another in dire situations. I really wanted to see team cooperation when it comes to action scenes. I do believe that it is not easy to become a great character as I have mentioned, I want to see how a character treat others just as how people want to treat them. In fact, they really showed me how great they stand in spite of the difficulties and struggles as magical girls.
My favorite character is Homura Akemi. She is without a doubt the most developed character and she is smart, calm and collected.
I also did like some of the characters bonding moments including Miki and Madoka.
My only big problem is I didn't find this anime quite fascinating and I feel that few of the supporting characters didn't get enough character development.
Akiyuki Shinbo was responsible for the animation and it really gave a different feel and vibe when putting together the drawings. However, I appreciated his effort in coming up with the animation.
This is really a good lesson to learn that life does not come easy because in life we all learn how to deal with problems. Life is education and it is a journey we embark in.
This anime follows the qoute "With great power comes great responsibility" from Spiderman. This is really a good quote.
So this anime is definitely worth watching. 8/10
