Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a very fresh and interesting look on magical girls. At the first episodes, I thought it was the sailor moon type anime, but boy, was I WRONG.
After the third episode, I literally had to sit down and think about what THE HELL just happened. The third episode was amazing, and it just keeps getting better, When I think everything is happy again, this show just goes ahead and wrecks it. And my feels start pouring again. But, that's what I really like about this show. Plot twists fly around, blowing my mind EVERY.TIME.
Rarely do I find an anime with so many plot twists, but still manages to tie them all back together to make sense. That's what Madoka Magica manages to do. Everything makes sense, and left me with almost no questions.
The character are well-rounded and HUMAN. I have seen anime characters with just one personality that refuses to change. Happy-go-lucky characters stay happy-go-lucky, cool mysterious characters stay that way. Madoka Magica, however, change things. The main character Madoka, seems like the weak, annoying main character. But after the last episode, I realized just how mature she really was, and how there was more to her than I thought. Also, tops to my favorite character, Homura, who has an amazing story. In the beginning, I hated her. I thought she was the party pooper. But as her story was slowly revealed she become so much more real and got me to fall in love her in later episodes.
Hats off to the music as well, the song when Mami is fighting is AMAZING, and the OPs and EDs are awesome too. This anime was one of the few that I didn't skip the OPs and EDs like I usually do.
Overall, I loved this story. The ending was amazing, and I loved it. Never again will I look at magical girls the same way again. Please try it out. Your mind will be blown.
