The highlight of last year's AFA, wanted to see how good it was so i gave it a try. Starting was as 'magically childish' as i thought it would be. Fighting scenes arent that impressing to watch. Oh yeah, so it was a bitch anime after all? OF COURSE NOT!! Show gets progressively better over episodes, not just the girls but also the story. Background about the witches and magical girls etc. were well conveyed. The plot is well twisted, the girls are awesome. It wasnt a bad experience overall. Released on January 2011, 12 episodes in total.

Rating: 8/10
In a world where strange creatures, kyubey existed, any wish can be granted to the chosen girl. In exchange, she becomes a magical girl and fight against the darkness(witches) that is unknown to the rest of the world. A girl, Kaname Madoka was approached by this strange creature who offers her the deal. However theres this one magical girl, Akemi Homura who tries to prevent that from happening by hunting down the kyubey. Madoka in turn gets drag deeper into the affairs of the magical girls, learning about the bright side but also an even darker side of being a magical girl. What will she do next? Watch and learn~
This show is definitely a good start for me on the mahou shoujo series. Firstly, it was easy to understand as everything was well and clearly explained. Secondly, the girls tough and cool personalities makes me want to learn more about them hence staying and continue watching. Lets also not forget about the plot, it was awesomely twisted! There are times when you will be shocked by the sudden change in events and still have mixed feelings after that. It was actually not a bad show, but to be the most popular anime in 2011 was really over-exaggerated. 

Action-wise was pretty basic. Fights were simple and quickly done and over with. Well at least it wasnt as childish as i thought it would be, holding a staff saying some spell and then act cute etc. Instead the girls even have non-magic weapons like guns, swords, spears and even bows! Starting may be a little boring, but fear not as it will get better soon.

Opening song is connect by claris. All i could say is it has a magical feel to it, which indeed suits the show. With a little of a cute tune to it, matches these girls really well!

Have a nice day!
