Someone just told me that Madoka Magica was written by Gen Urobuchi, the guy who wrote stuff like Phantom of the Inferno and Saya no Uta. So I originally though it would be happy happy and bright like how magical girls shows generally are, but I have doubts now....
So tell me, is this show screwed up like Saya and Kikokugai? EDIT: err, if you ever plan on playing stuff like Saya, I suggest you not spoil your own story by reading wiki or something.
(Note: I haven't watched any of it so far).

It has mind fudge animations and it is very dark, especially for a magical girl anime. Don't know what Saya and Kikokugai are, but it is a pretty screwed up anime.

I've not seen either of those either.... if I could refer you to the Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Opening as to some of the styles that seem to get involved... and the fact it is a SHAFT production with Akiyuki Shinbo at hand...... it was bound to be a unique magical girl anime.. and from what wee've seen it most certainly is.
I was talking more about the story than the style, but either way, I'm interested enough to go and try it. I should have the first episode already downloaded.

So pretty much, they're both happy happy stories about school girls being moe and falling in love.

Well, Madoka isn't that screwed up though.
So it's not a happy happy story about school girls being moe and falling in love?
:(

No, instead they act like a bunch of drama queens, but don't let that put you off.
