Are you new to manga and anime?

/s

I don’t know many anime watchers, and everyone around me loved it. One colleague had issues at first, I told him to get past the third ep, and he finished it that day.

I remember my first time. It was midnight, I knew I had to go sleep, but thought I check out first episode for the heck of it. The animation is beautiful, score is very captivating, so I decided to forego sleep a bit more. It was very lighthearted, kind of silly but in a good way, very unlike most anime I’ve seen before. Then I finished the series at 4AM absolutely emotionally rocked, I never cried so much in my life, and I have been through some shit.

It’s totally because the core feels very personal to me, and it gives me hope I’ve never felt or could imagine before. But everything other is absolutely top tier, too. I love Shaft, saw most of their stuff way back when, and this is definitely one of their most timeless pieces, because it’s so stylized. OST is kind of hard to listen to randomly, but fits the anime perfectly. And the story… it just feels right, and complete. Without any spoilers, definitely one of the very few complex story element implementations done correctly.

Unrelated to this, don’t ever watch anything beyond the anime, or first two movies. Anything after that never happened, is not related to this story, and Madoka is finished and done after the 12th episode.

Unfortunately I don’t have it, and haven’t read it.

Only watched the anime, both series, which I love so much, one of my top all time picks (first will always be Madoka though). Absolutely top music score, I would listen to the OST during work, when I still could listen to anything. I also want to see where the story moves forward, but haven’t yet found the time :(

Thank you, I have heard about some new S&W anime, though I was hoping it would continue the manga, not readapting it.

Such a shame, I might give it a try, but I have the original and it’s so good, why do we need to redo that…

What is going on? Is this something new?

I love rewarching Jormungand, Koko is amazing, and the whole story flows nicely.

Baccano I never rewatched, still scarred by that crying kid, I don’t even know if it was the OVA or the first season, but I don’t dare to find out. Amazing anime, but one-time only.

It was one of the first anime for me, so it really surprised me, and I followed everything.

But yeah, the gang was really fun, and I will always remember some of their gags.

Do you mean Owari? Just making sure, since I can’t find Oni.

I just wanted more Senjougahara. She was the only reason I started watching in the first place, loved her dialogues with Koyomi, and couldn’t wait to get more of her screen time.

Then she cut her hair, and I dunno, she wasn’t the same.

To be honest, I rewatch it every now and then, and it’s still powerful, and it honestly makes me emotional every time. Almost no other piece of media has that effect on me. Even though I remember it vividly, it’s still amazing, and doesn’t lose it’s impact.

So don’t worry about spoilers, the plot is great, but only one part of the experience. Soundtrack is absolutely fantastic, and visuals are on their own league (it’s Shaft, and a very specific style). Even if you know the plot, and haven’t seen it, I can basically guarantee that it will suck you in, and the pacing will make sure you won’t be bored.

10/10, I need to watch it again

Like I had 0 issues with Hanekawa, even the cat version was cool, but Hachikuji and specially Sengoku was way too much.

I dropped it around Hanamonogatari, but I stopped watching anime altogether, so I will most likely not continue the series.

There are so many sequals that I lost track.

But I meant specifically the first season - there was more than one little girl in very unsettling situations. Yikes.

Even the teeth brushing wasn’t as bad as the first season.

Have 4 hours ready when trying to watch Madoka. If after the first hour you won’t be into it, just drop it - but endure the first hour.

If you’ll like it, you will want to see it all. It’s 12 episodes (or 2 2hr movies), so it’s manageable.

Amagi was on the funny and relaxing side, kinda like Chihayafuru, only more fan-servicey.

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica is absolute best.

Spice and Wolf, No game no life, Baccano, Chihayafuru, Amagi Briliant Park, Ore Monogatari, or even Kakegurui, Black Lagoon, Jormungand, Gurren Lagann for series.

Ghost in the Shell for movies (Madoka also is in a movie form). I haven’t seen many movies, Spirited Away was OK, but not really for me.

I used to like Bakemonogatari, but after the years I’m not sure I would enjoy anything after Senjougahara’s arc. Angel Beats was also fun, but in a silly way. Aho girl is pure silliness.
