WARNING- SPOILERS!!
Around a week ago, I got around to finishing Madoka Magica, a magical girl anime that's not very "magical". It's more dark and grim. These girls have terrible lives, they live in this world where they got tricked by some cute animal, only to end up not only getting killed but also becoming an immortal witch afterward, how grim is that! Madoka is yet another great anime from the amazing Shaft, which has made some of the greatest anime I've ever laid my eyes upon like Monogatari & ef a tale of memories. Shaft has easily over the past few months become one of my all-time favorite studios, I love the aesthetics, the head tilts, the initial confusion and then understanding of what exactly you're watching, f.ex in monogatari. I've only seen one magical girl show before, and that was Kamichara Karin, a show that was extremely lighthearted and cute, which Madoka is the complete opposite of. For Madoka, I just thought that it would have some dark undertones, not that it would be another Evangelion. I mean that ending reminded me so much of end of Evangelion, where Madoka essentially becomes a god and frees other magical girls from their wishes so that they completely break free from being a magical girl. The ending to the series was really sad and cruel with all of the girls except for Homura forgetting about Madoka entirely, I haven't seen the third movie which is the actual ending but I will watch it sooner rather than later.
Alright my dudes, see you next time!
