Mahou shoujo Madoka magika is one fantastic story. And only 12 episodes or 2 movies (they are the same, just less OP/EDs).
I googled it and visually it looks like.....everything else
Well it's kinda half meant to, it's a magical girl genre subversion
Go in blind, push through the first movie. It is worth it.
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
Yeah, also, it's my favourite anime ever.
@msage Fair choice, it's also one of my favorites! My top 1 would be a certain other "time travel and suffering" story though...
I like Steins, but never triumphed over my Senjougahara waifu.
If I ever find time, I should rewatch it.
It's weird. It gets even weirder. But it's purposeful, and it grows on you.
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.
Third movie was really weird.
Maybe it was the crazy subtitles I had when it came out, but I didn't like it as much as the original.
