Found incorrect info?






























I was very pleased with the graphic experiments – a la "Studio 4 degrees", a lot of unimaginable and incomprehensible techniques, like crumpled paper in a compartment with a puppet theater We decided to fit into the kawaii narrative of the originally cute anime.
We must also pay tribute to the plot – this is a rare case when there are only 12 episodes at your disposal (and not 26, where you can not turn around too much and not an hour and a half, where you can only crush your legs) and throughout all 12 there is a complete story without fillers and spin-offs with one sole purpose – to explain everything to the end. An explosive mixture of carefree happiness and immeasurable tragedy in one cup of tea. It tightens and does not let go until the very end.
I think many people have already seen Madoka, but still obviously not all. And she deserves everyone, that's a fact.
seriously, the last three episodes are almost
the most emotionally powerful anime I've ever seen.
Madoka combines the most magnificent plot twists that can be inserted into anime about fairy girls: time loops, complex chronology and narrative system, understatement to the very end, the mosaic of the story, which only in the final develops into a full-fledged picture, magnificent design (a kind of experiment with graphics, which I personally associated with something between Alice Madness Returns and Pandora's Hearts), the cruelty and seriousness of the atmosphere, a certain philosophy and morality of the story.
There are few anime like this, and I think Madoka is justifiably considered something more than maho-shojo with cute outfits and an endless plot about all-conquering heroines. In just 12 episodes, without further ado, a wonderful story is told, which I definitely won't regret watching.
