    Mahou shoujo Madoka magika is one fantastic story. And only 12 episodes or 2 movies (they are the same, just less OP/EDs).

          Yeah but that’s what I’m saying, I dislike the generic aesthetic enough that it takes away most of the enjoyment. If I was neutral on that it’d be no big deal, but the story is only part of visual media

            @glimse @msage Hey, I don’t wanna spoil it to you, but know that the show’s events make the visuals change and mix together with a veeeery different style. It’s honestly one of the most aesthetically unique animes I’ve watched, you’ll know what I mean if you watch at least one ep

            It’s 4 hours total, so you could not pick worse time to write all that.

            The entire show is very purposeful, and it reveals the meanings slowly. That’s why you need to push through the first hour.

            I almost gave up, many of my friends gave up, but those who gave it a serious try, were rewarded.

            I went from ‘wtf is this shit’ to my absolute most favourite piece of media ever.

      There is a third original movie and they are making a 4th original. They’re was also a size anime loosely based on the mobile game.
