Have any of you guys seen any of it? It's a twisted and grim magical girl story that is only 12 episodes long. On the surface it seems like a cutesy magical girl show, but ooooooooh no. It flips the genre upside-down and inside out. All of the kids who wished they had magical powers would think twice after seeing this show...myself included. Totally recommended, but I wouldn't watch it before watching Sailor Moon or any other bright magical girl show. It would kill the Sailor Moon experience, especially with Kyubey, the seemingly cute an innocent Luna character of the series. Haha. UranusPose

I saw this anime and thought it was an amazing show. The only part that I would say really reminded me of Sailor Moon was near the end when the main character goes into "Princess Mode" against a great evil.

...and yes Kyubey is an evil utilitarian.

Hey Circe, who was your favorite character? Mine was Homura. Sadly saying anything about her is one giant spoiler so I'll leave it at that.

For the record, if it wasn't already apparent, I highly recommend the show also.

I have also seen this anime, it's really great althought I thought it will be slightly better, with more aspects of their life shown, but I have to admit this is still very impressive, this anime is for magical girl genre what Sergio Leone was for westerns.
and as to Kyubey I don't think he is evil utilitarian, to be evil you have to be emotional, Kyubey is not more evil than excell spreadsheet, he is just doing what seems to be effective (and I am talking now from philosophical point of view, privately I think this bastard deserve to be shot hundreds time over:-) )

Kyuubey really scares me. My favorite character...hmm. I really liked Mami even though she wasn't around for much of the show. But Homura was awesome, too. I love the witches' names, too!!

I absolutely love this anime. The other day I saw this thread and was bored so I figured, "Hey, let's go check it out." thinking it wasn't going to be as great as I think it is now. I watched all the episodes in a day and immediately fell in love. My favorite character is Mami. I love her style, and the way she fights. I also really loved her weapon(s). Homura is really cool as well.

This is worth having a listen to. This is a brilliant piano arrangement of some of the madoka ost.

My favorite is Mami. I'm absolutely in love/intrigued by the Witches and their minions. I would just love it if they made the other Magicas into an anime

I absolutely worship this series. VenusPose

I didn't see it until about a month ago, I wish I had seen this topic last year! The story is brilliantly crafted and its take on the magical girl concept is something to be admired.

If you enjoy this show you will most certainly appreciate PSSM: The RPG. In a lot of ways it's as dark (if not darker, if that's even possible lol) as Madoka Magica. I'm glad that Madoka Magica was such a popular show, because I worried that my own project would be too dark. But apparently other people like dark as much as me. UsagiHappy

One of the most emotional, mind blowing animes of all time.

It is NOT your average, happy magical girl anime.
A tragic story... Sailor_Moon_Cry ...that will last.

Oh, and a movie adaptation was released for it. VenusPose
