Madoka finds a grief seed outside a hospital and races to find Mami to help eliminate it. Impressions: WISH FOR HER BACK! Use your goddamn wish that you were going to use on a f’ing cake and wish Mami back to life! Ok, that may have been abrupt but…dear god, this episode was not what I expected. The [...]

Mami takes the two girls to watch as she takes down a witch. Impressions: This episode really does seem to show how much of a departure this series is from regular Mahou Shoujo shows, which is not bad at all. Although I love other shows the way they presented this was awesome as well. The lore they [...]

So I guess the Cool character has to die early? Well she looks cool and acts cool but it's too early. Or perhaps episode 4 has a little surprise, well this is a magic themed anime after all.

I didn't even noticed episode 2 was out. Anyways a not so good episode right after the great episode 1. Just a few explanation on some stuffs, a little tutorial on how to be a magical girl and more boring stuff. Oh yeah, not enough Senjougahara. XD

From an episode of Sayaka and Madoka pondering over their potential choice of wish were they to make a contract with Kyubey and become magical girls, episode three seems to begin with obvious candidate for taking up Sayaka's choice, and perhaps the reason why she's seemed somewhat keen on the whole thing from the start. Indeed, the question of what kind of wish to ask for weighs quite heavily

If anime were a religion, magical girls would be one of its Five Pillars, along with shounen battle, love comedy, mecha and sports. Friendship, courage and cuteness are the fundamentals of the classic mahou shoujo. Implied yuri and teenage angst come optional in contemporary interpretations. It’s a genre that is really easy to understand and [...]

This episode just proved that this show is NOT a moe show. You're looking for some moe-moe goodness? Look elsewhere...Continue Reading

“Why, why. You look very delicious, pretty little Puella Magi.” “CHOMP! OM NOM NOM NOM NOM” FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU—- R.I.P. Teacup. Holy shit. HOOOOOO LEEEEEEEY FUCKIN’ SHIT. Urobuchi finally delivers. Shit gets fucking real this episode. Mami getting konked off this early in the show was entirely expected, yet still unexpected. I’d have thought she would last [...]

Monty Python’s Flying Circus called. They want their cut-outs back. No, really. Just look at the “animated” portions of a Monty Python episode, and compare it with the fight scenes from Madoka Magica. Its kind of funny. Well, I really really reallllllly liked Madoka Magica. I was a bit skeptical given that its Shinbo, but [...]

Fuck yeah UNLIMITED RIFLE WORKS! God damn Mami is badass. Just when I thought episode 1 was amazing, episode 2 easily topped it. So we finally get to know the details about the “system” regarding the Puella Magi and Witches: Puella Magi form contracts with Kyubey. Only chosen ones are able to see Kyubey. Contracted [...]

After introducing us to its major players, themes and a dash of the surreal, Puella Magi Madoka Magica did everything required of itself to set the scene so that we can get down to business in this second episode.  Or can we? After rescuing Kyubey and meeting magical girl (and senior in their school) Mami Tomoe, Madoka and Sayaka are given something of an initiation into what it is to be a

The abstract plane has me trippin' balls but it is not nearly the kind of mindfuckery you would experience from watching Inception. There is also the random text and symbols that pop up every now and then in this show which has me scratching my head. Are they supposed to mean anything or is SHAFT [...]

I had been expecting something majorly moe, something along the lines of Tokyo Mew Mew but I think I was totally wrong.

“It’s over when you give up. But you can change your destiny…” Shaft proves that it can still rock even with its often unorthodox visual take on the mahou shoujo genre. Puella Magi Madoka Magica has good potential and definitely shouldn’t be judged by its cutesy and innocent cover. Plot summary from AniDB: Having a [...]

Not just a Mahou Shoujo,  Aoki Ume hasn’t done any of like of this, so I expected this to be more original… I came to watch this after eating lunch with a dark and rainy sky, that’s why I needed something to do on a Sunday, and that’s to watch to be a couch potato. [...]

Shinbo + Yuki Kajiura music + magical girls = win? It’s all about the atmosphere. There’s a certain image of what a mahou shoujo show is supposed to feel and look like: fluffy, cute, pastel colors, and frills. An animal sidekick, easily adaptable to become a plushie, is practically mandatory, too. Those are all here [...]

Are you ready? Back in our Winter Preview, I declared my unyielding love for this show: KYAAAAAAA SHINBOU MAGICAL GIRL ANIME. I don’t care that it’s kind of like a learning opportunity for up and coming SHAFT director Yukihiro Miyamoto. Character designs by Ume Aoki (Hidamari Sketch writer) = win. Script by the guy who did Phantom? [...]
