One word:Outstanding is what i can say about the anime.The story is superb,the animation is great,the character is 'colorful' and the enjoyment is very rare with anime these days(i'm not telling they are bad).
So,what is a magical girl?A magical girl is the one that fight protect humankind and
fight the evil.Still even how new a genre is,SHAFT still takes the traditional Magical Girl plot even though it is just as a cover...there is still something deeper.
Story:The audiences are given a look of the daily lives of our great Madoka living peacefully in a future world but when she meet rescue a creature named Kyubei and finally getting a chance to became a Puella Magical Girl.She is very enthusiastic about being a Magical Girl that can protect the world but until one day....... Things in this anime is craved beautifully...each episodes are great but one thing:I feel that this anime is rushed in the middle and it deserve more episodes to explain things more detail...
Art:the art is very cute,the face is kinda roundish which give some friendly looking anime....It might be some turnoff for the first time thinking this is not some serious anime.The monster/witch is drawn well,it is unique and a some pictures from the real world is used in the anime give us the usual SHAFT feeling(Bakemonogatari).
Sound:The BGM goes very well with each situation and give an mystery feeling through out the battle...
Character:Not a very unique set of character but they do great work as well.The character is very interesting,sometimes we can't guess how a character will do or thing at the moment.Bottom line,very good...
I enjoy watching the series,it makes me wanna cry but it is good since i can hold it...such a pleasure to watch and deserve more episodes...
I APPROVED THIS ANIME.
