I've been hearing about this series for months now but never paid it a second glance whenever someone mentions it. I honestly don't know what caused me to watch it but whatever it was, I am very thankful because this anime is simply one of the most impressive anime I have ever watched. Apart from the art and the genre, it's got all the elements I didn't know I love in my anime. With it's deceptive front, MSMM is one dark and serious anime with an intelligent plot and more complex twists.
The characters are very distinguishable. At any other moment, I would've hated Madoka's character but she fits so well with the series that you can't help but to love and sympathize with her. I also love that this gives as much spotlight to the supporting characters as to the main protagonist. The fact that this has only 12 episodes makes it even more impressive. The author did a tremendously good job in shaping the elements of the plot, putting bits and pieces in the right places and fitting them in 12 episodes. This anime will basically flay you slowly while you watch and then rip your heart out. It will also destroy your tear ducts apart in a neverending river of tears.
The most tragic thing about this anime though is that there will never be another anime like this one. I feel like going back in time with my memories erased just so I could watch this again and be surprised again like the first time.
