Reviews

This will be my first actual written review. I went into this anime EXCITED and HOPEFUL because I loved the Madoka Magica anime. I was like ok completely new characters, it is fine since it isn't some crappy re-continuation. But god,,, please this anime disappointed to no end. The whole time watching I was expecting more of the anime and waiting for something to happen. I know know, it shouldn't be a carbon copy of the original Madoka Magica, but it didn't try anything to divert your expectations AT ALL. This anime feels like pure magical girl fan service and new magical girl "waifus" for an original manga/show that should not have an anime like this and ruins the original.

Not to mention, the characters in this anime are very dull, like VERY DULL. In the original Madoka Magica, they took the time to carefully develop the characters and you cared for them but with this anime it felt like they just made up a bunch of new "waifu" characters and barely took the time to develop them. They prioritized character design look over personality and character. It felt like every episode was just them introducing every now and then a new girl for people with different tastes.

I know that the writer is a different person and that this is based off a mobile game, but come on! Just because it was a mobile game doesn't give it the excuse to be this overly bad in character development and story. It felt like I was just watching a below average magical girl anime that somehow got the budget and art style of Madoka Magica.


Watching this anime in full MADE ME WANT TO CLEANSE MYSELF by rewatching the original Madoka Magica and I gave this anime an optimistic chance and usually am not the type to be like "ThE OrigInaL Is BetteR" elitist type beat.
