You will hear that line a million times that it won't get boring. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica is the latest anime masterpiece. Really an amazing anime to watch. You will cry, laugh, feel the characters and get inside each one's little world. It's not just getting magic wands and pretty dresses, trust me.
Story: 10/10
The story is outstanding. It begins with the title character, Madoka Kaname, an average 14 year old middle schooler. One day her life changes, when she and a close friend, Sayaka Miki, run into Kyubey, a mysterious being. He is being chased by Homura Akemi, a girl who transferred to their school that day. They try to run from her, and enter a weird and bizarre place. Guess that'll be all, so I won't spoil it for you. All I can say is that the story will leave you literally shocked, both in the good and bad way. It is so amazingly twisted, you won't even know what to think about it anymore.
Artwork: 7/10
The artwork is good. The characters could be a bit better, they're all drawn cutely, but their outfits are pretty simple, both ordinary and magical girl clothing. The backgrounds are amazing, they give you an Alice in Wonderland kind of vibe. The colors are rich and mostly dark. Also, the city/school/places have very high technology, which is a nice touch, making the story more close to the real world.
Sound: 8/10
Sound is pretty good. Every piece of music is dark and fitting. It fits what the character's feeling and describes the mood. OP and ED are great, too.
Character: 9/10
Characters are inside out amazing. They develop in so little time and are fast paced. Every character has their own personality, filled with the liveliness of a teenager and other twisted stuff that go on in the series. They are extremely well-written, and by the end of the series, each one has matured and decided what's best for everybody. Yet, they have the liveliness within them, that doesn't let them destroy who they are, which shows how strong they are. All are goodly explored too.
Overall, Madoka Magica is a series that should not be missed. It will give anything you'd ever want from a series. It will make you experience lots of emotions. It's pretty good. I'm giving it a 9, because, even a masterpiece ain't perfect. It's flaws, even though extremely minor, are still here. Or maybe I'm doing it just to annoy y'all hardcore fans. :D Anyways, this series is totally worth it.
