Ok, I'm moving this up a bit in my hypothetical to-watch list.
Also, back to the question which led to over 80 posts of semi-trolling...
Quote:Someone just told me that Madoka Magica was written by Gen Urobuchi, the guy who wrote stuff like Phantom of the Inferno, Saya no Uta and Kikokugai. So tell me, is this show screwed up like Saya and Kikokugai?
Well it's not screwed up like those that you have mentioned but it is definitely not what you'd expect a magical girl anime to be like. And funny Urobuchi Gen actually made an apology for misleading magical girls anime fans.
Spoiler:
Quote:Scenario writer Urobuchi Gen apologized for intentionally misleading people that Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica is a cute healing anime. The producers were thinking of hiding Urobuchi's name to preclude people's deduction that the anime will be a darker show, but the premature staff information leak last Spring had ruined the plan.
Note: the staff information of Madoka Magica was leaked in 2channel on April 1st 2010.
Still, director Shinbo Akiyuki wanted to surprise the audience, so Urobuchi did his best to mislead people by making comments such as "It's time to recognize me as a healing-type writer." "It's disappointing that my new anime is called 'Chidamari (blood puddle) Sketch'.", "I want to make the audience happy by the anime." However, his efforts were in vain, Urobuchi said.

Well, I happen to be one of those people who went in expecting a cute typical mahou shojou anime. But it's still a good anime anyway so I don't care that I was misleaded.

Okay, if Shinbo/SHAFT got Madoka delayed on purpose - credit to them. Well played. You'll have to watch it all to know why... and you should.
For now, it's 8.5 for me, but as I have to have whole on MAL - 9/10. For now.
I will be watching the BluRay version of PMMM because it'll be worth watching. It's been a breath of fresh air for production and clever execution - and for once evil seemed like evil again.
It requires thinking in order for the story to unveil itself - and the fact it was able to create such a story as grand as this within 12 episodes has to be noticed.
My anime of the season? I'm not sure. Kimi ni Todoke 2nd is really good, and arguably more consistant compared to PMMM.
But Puella Magi Madoka Magica really did stand out from anything else at it's best - it really did.

I think that it would have been better if they didn't release the last 2 episodes together. The cliffhanger at episode 11 didn't have that much impact since episode 12 aired right afterwards.

It set the groundwork for what was to come though. I went through the main bits of Ep9 again, then watched Ep11 and at that point Episode 12 did feel like the final episode...

I've found the ending of Madoka a bit rush, im expecting it would like an "End of Evangelion" ending, but still good ending, hope more kind of this anime come out soon

they pretty much wrapped it up though. where could they go from there

Finished Madoka. Though unexpected for a Magical Girl anime, I still enjoyed it plenty.

For anyone who has finished Madoka (think it didn't wrap up/was rushed) - check this out as it does a good job of clarifying some important points...
