The plot of Madoka Magica is the deconstruction of the Magical Girl genre. It takes the genre and puts it in a real world scenario and see how it will all pan out. The main character Madoka one day comes across a white cat looking thing named Kyubey who says that he/she could grant one wish if she becomes a magical girl to help defeat the witches. However, he/she is always getting stopped by Homura who tries to prevent Madoka from becoming a magical girl. Homura is revealed to be a time traveling magical girl that has been trying to prevent Madoka's death from the witch Walpurgisnacht. The other magical girls in this show are Mami, Kyoko, and Sayaka.
The animation in this show isn't that great as to what I was expecting. However, whenever the magical girls enter the witches den the animation is just insane. I really love the design of the witches in this show. They really stand out and the animation used for them are memorable.
The characters are what I felt could have really been more fleshed out. For example when the previous timelines of Madoka as a magical girl are shown they never really explained as to why she became one in the first place. Now there are only three characters that deserve mentioning Madoka, Homura, and Kyubey. The rest of the magical girls I could give two shits about. Not that I didn't think they were good characters, but yeah I didn't care about them. Besides that all the characters are solid and the chemistry between them are done well.
Now about my enjoyment. Holy Shit! This show was a delight. The obvious thing that I should mention is the ending of this show. Arguably one of my favorite top ten anime climaxes. It was just incredible. I thought that this show deserved an 8/10, but after re-watching it I have grown to appreciate it more than I did. So I am going to give this show a 9/10 and highly recommend this show to everyone.
