Re: First time watching Madoka
I'm very interested to hear your impression once you've finished the series but yes, I found it a nice change from usual mahou shoujo anime. I watched it originally to see what the hype was about, expecting the worst, but it was a lot deeper than I expected and I actually enjoyed the experience.
Re: First time watching Madoka
It ruined my sleep for tonight, and I have a french exam tomorrow. Too stimulated from it. (Also, not sure how I can sleep after the trippy visuals)

Re: First time watching Madoka
PMMM is an amazing anime, and it just gets better from episode four. The second half...makes you feel. A lot.

Re: First time watching Madoka
I feel like I'm the only person in the world who didn't like Madoka. Honestly, I hated it, but if you liked the first four episodes then you should enjoy the rest of the show.

Re: First time watching Madoka
I like Madoka a lot too, but it kind of makes me sad that a lot of people praise it by saying 'and unlike a lot of other mahou shoujo, it's not girly!!!' What's wrong with things that are made for girls? Some shoujo manga/anime, like Rose of Versailles and Princess Tutu, are incredibly well-made!
Actually, if you enjoy Madoka, I would recommend Princess Tutu - it's another eerie, unsettling magical girl anime, which plays around with and examines a lot of common tropes found in fairytales. And it's also my favourite anime of all time - everything about it, the animation and music especially, is gorgeous.

Re: First time watching Madoka
Thank you! Because it was marketed towards and pandered to the moe lover crowd, and because it's 'ooh dark' and not about cheery themes, it's apparently somehow superior to 'girly' shows. I enjoy it more than your typical mahou shoujo series because 1) it's like 12 episodes, and I don't have that much time lately, and 2) because it is dark and gruesome and it's fun to see tropes subverted; but it isn't because it's less 'girly', for sure.ebi-hime wrote:I like Madoka a lot too, but it kind of makes me sad that a lot of people praise it by saying 'and unlike a lot of other mahou shoujo, it's not girly!!!'

Re: First time watching Madoka
Oh gosh! I love that anime! I'm not normally into magical girl anime but curiosity got the better of me, seeing how popular it was. I drove like 100+ miles just to watch the first two movies, then the third (in LA). Also bought some figures of the series along the way
You should watch the three movies! Though, 1 & 2 cover the 12 episodes (with differences of course).

Re: First time watching Madoka
How's the third movie? I've heard of certain plot elements and events in it that...did not impress me.

Re: First time watching Madoka
I thought the third movie was pretty good, although it felt much more darker than the episodes / movies 1 & 2, and has quite an evil vibe to it.
Not sure if this is a spoiler, but just in case...

I felt that one of the five main girls went 180 on me. Not going to say who, though.

Re: First time watching Madoka
I adore Kyubey and I have a huge pet peeve against people saying he's evil. He's an emotionless hivemind. He's literally incapable of being evil. Even the actual creator has said that Kyubey is not evil, just amoral/neutral.
