Let me start this review off by saying that you should give this series until at least episode 3 before deciding whether or not you want to finish it. I'm not saying that because this is a hit-or-miss kind of series where you love it or hate it, I'm saying this because you can't expect this to be just another magical girl series.
Story 10/10: by giving the series a general plot of "we must destroy the witches!" they give themselves a lot of wiggle room do do whatever they want. Guess what? They use ALL of that wiggle room to make one hard-hitting, mind-blowing, overall great show. The biggest question you may have throughout the entire show is "aright, so when does Madoka become a magical girl?" Prepare yourself for the answer.
Art 10/10: Every encounter they have with a witch is an acid trip all its own, I can only imagine what kind of time the artists had while making this show. All of the character designs and abilities are also wonderful and perfectly animated.
Sound 10/10: Tbh, I can't really remember any music that particularly stood out (its been a while since I watched the series), but what I do remember is that the background music was a perfect fit for the current mood of the show.

Character 10/10: No main character in this series ended where they began in terms of development and how you feel about them. That, I believe, is an amazing feat for any show.
Enjoyment 10/10: I'm not a magical girl series kind of guy, but this show just roped me in and got me; that's how much I enjoyed it.
Overall 10/10: By the end of this series, I had my heart broken and mind twisted. When a show can do that to me, I will always recommend it in an attempt to subject other people to the same feelings.
