RE: Winter 2011 Anime Line-up (Updated with Infos)
Finished~

I would probably say it's around 8.5 for me, I'll just round up to 9 on MAL, like what I traditionally do.  Though I was retarded, and watched episode 11 and 12 before 10 because I miss clicked, and didn't notice until after the end.  That could have possibly impacted on my enjoyment of the ending.  The normal episodes are consistently good pretty much the whole way, and the ending is decent.

Imo this actually > Saya, the normal stuff were superior to Saya, and the ending was of a similar level.  Well, I have Saya on 8 currently.

So if Saya no Uta is like school girls being cute and falling in love. Then Madoka is totally about 5 best friends who team up with each other to fight evil that threatens their homes.

No.  It would be about 5 best friends who sit under sky of sunshine, rainbows and butterflies, happily debating the costs and benefits of magic.

I though Madoka was pretty consistent.  I mean, all of the episodes are reasonably interesting to say the least.  Unlike lets say Bakemonogatari, which had some episodes so boring (4,5) it managed to put me to sleep twice.

Reminds me of ef a tale of memories (which was also made by shaft).

I did mention before that Homura's time travel seems to be somewhat imperfect, a while back.  I noticed 2 things:
1. Madoka gets stronger in each cycle
2. Madoka remembers part of the previous time in a dream

Their explanation for the first sounds similar to the quantum universe theory of time travel, except that the travel of time seems to have an effect on others, not just the time traveller.  It's some poo poo about "being centered around someone" though it sounds like bullchocolate since I don't see how intentions cause any magic build up, but anyway, wee'll go along with their explanation.
My theory is that #2 above is explained by the imperfection of time travel.  So if Madoka traverses through time to screw up the world, the time travel still leaves traces of "pre-time travel" (if that concept even makes sense; multidimensional time?) around the place.
It explains a number of possibilities, such as how Homura even got the ribbon at the end - if Madoka, after the rewrite, never existed in the human plane, it would've been impossible for Homura to have ever met her, let alone take one of her ribbons (and wee'll not go into stuff like how the ribbon was created etc).  Although Madoka's change didn't affect Homura's personal timeline, the imperfection does.

Probably better not to think too deep into it.  Lol, I'm trying to apply something else (spoiler)'s theories into this in my head, it's semi-working.

This is a good point. Interestingly, with Mami, Sayaka and Kyoko returning it obviously indicates time has been rewound - yet Homura is the only one capable of acknowledging Madokas existance (other than Madokas brother). It seemed like she was "removed" - in the same way Mami was removed from the universe when she died (nobody knew she was dead except for Madoka and Sakaya - or she had no friends and I'm completely on the wrong track here). So she must have existed up to that point - only her existence as a human had been removed from everyones minds.

Spoiler:
Homura still remembers because she's not part of the "new world", she just used her powers to get herself there.  That's also why she still has the ribbon.  Everyone else from the "new world" don't know Madoka because she doesn't have a physical existence in that world.

As for Mami, pretty much what zinga said, she didn't get "removed" or anything like that, she just had no contacts

The story just says that her life had no beginning or end.  It doesn't say anything about why her change caused her mother not to give birth to her >_>

Spoiler:
My explanation is that there could be only 1 copy of a person in any world at one time.  Madoka isn't really in the "new world" in as a living human being like everyone else.  But she is there, removed from the axis of time, as some sort of omni-present existence that's everywhere at anytime.  So because there is already a Madoka, there cannot be another.
