Story 9
The story was wonderful. Like I mentioned, it was more then just girls running around in costumes, it was so much more in depth and the plot was well thought out. They learned the truth behind being a magical girl, all these depressing secrets and learning and depressingness, if that's even a word. Bottom line, it wasn't a simple, boring story.
Art 9
The art of the characters was good, not the best but above average. I'm actually glad it wasn't any different because it made the anime seem much more innocent and childish. What impressed me though were the labyrinths. They weren't typical anime styled art, but they were like collages and they were really well done, like, if the labyrinths were anime styled, it wouldn't have made this anime as unique. Also, I gave the art a 9 because of the labyrinths, otherwise it would have given it an 8 or 7.
Sound 10
The sound was actually soooo great. Like I said in my SAO review, Yuki Kajura does it again:) It wasn't a music I would have normally listened to, it was different, but it wen't great with the anime and it was really outstanding.(I'm listening to one of the songs now D:)
Character 8
There was some character development, not much though, but there WERE only like 12 episodes. I wish they could of gone more in depth into their back stories, but they kind of did, enough for me to feel sorry for or like the characters. It was pretty good. The characters them selves weren't danzels in distress, so I enjoyed them.
Enjoyment 10
I finished the series in a day. It was like, I HAD to watch the next episode. There was so much drama and lessons and tragedy and with the music and the balance of action and drama, a little bit a romance, it was really enjoyable.
Overall 10
This anime was so beautiful, I think you should all go watch it right now! It has so much meaning and the music is beautiful the story is full of twist and turns and it has so much meaning. It's just wonderful. Thats all I can say. Beautiful.
