However, that girl must then become a Puella Magi, a girl with magical powers, and fight against witches, evil creatures born from curses that are responsible for murders and suicides. A schoolgirl named Madoka Kaname and her friend Sayaka Miki are approached by a familiar named Kyubey and Puella Magi named Mami Tomoe with offers of becoming magical girls. Another Peulla Magi named Homura Akemi tries to prevent Madoka from making such a deal.

It's probably my imagination that's suffering, but the classrooms at Madoka's School resemble cages rather than rooms.

I have the audacity to drop a few words about the already "Great and Mighty". In general, I'm probably one of the few who watched Madoka, because this is maho-shojo, which has attracted me since the time of Sailor Moon thanks to their cute costumes and beautiful reincarnations. But most of all, I love this genre for the fact that most of the time you watch kawaii kava, and at the end there is psychedelic and action...
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.

I wonder how many times this "long-time lover" came to the boy in the hospital?

I've never cried SO much over an anime series in my life
seriously, the last three episodes are almost
the most emotionally powerful anime I've ever seen.

Madoka really stands out from the maha-shojo genre precisely because she, as the quintessence of everything that has already been done, collects the best and also brings a share of new, unusual things. For an anime that begins so simply, pinkly and naively, such an ending is very powerful, relatively unpredictable, interesting, new, sad and at the same time contradictory.
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.
