Madoka was quite good, 9/10 for me.
Code Geass had some faults, but still managed to entertain me that i couldn't notice it (when watching 1st time). So it's 10/10
A Masterpiece can be found between movies, The Sky Crawlers is my favourite 11/10(?)

Black Rock Shooter. 'Tis good.
And that's closely followed by Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Bakki the grappler (yes,i love this anime), Zeto no hanayome, Hayate no Gotoku and almost i forgot Steins;Gate
Ga-Rei Zero , Kimi ni Todoke , Another , Vampire Knight ~ 
Yeah Ga-rei has been at the top of my list for forever. I was thinking fate/zero would take it's place. But it looks to be a solid second, unless the last few episodes blow me away. But probably not. It's pretty happy sitting there in second.

i think hayate no gotoku is a good harem anime,
and Highschool DxD, baka to test series, IS, Clannad, monogatari series(harem right?), Amagami series, and so on..
i don't really care about the story or plot, just enjoy it for some reason XD

This is actually the point of Harem. But like usual, anime with a decent/good story makes it awesome. And that law applies to everything, including Harem. Though the common Harem I've seen doesn't have a real plot, there are some who has it from the start (and they're usually not focused to Harem).Net-Nue wrote:

I also enjoyed hellsing and berserk (although i like berserk as manga better)
Apparently, the ones who're capable of changing the plot isn't the producer alone. I've seen some works that has been turned into hell or heaven due to outside influences.Net-Nue wrote:

Aw c'mon, I liked Madoka, and the way Urobuchi trolled everyone by just deconstructing the genre, but to call it deep? Kyubey didn't even know how entropy works.The Ribbon Red wrote:

I suppose that's true. But it's not some random magical fanservice alike most Magical Girl you usually see these days.Nanael wrote:

That was actually the point, also the reason why you don't hear Kalafina's Magia (a badass yet totally eerie negative song) till Mami gets beheaded at episode 3. The reason why there aren't many "sad magical girl series" is because that isn't really the point of that kind of show, silly fanservice is. Also, people crying and the show being depressing doesn't automatically makes it deep. Anyway, all this I mentioned nothing has to do with the original topic (deepness, was it?) If you take into account that the creator of Madoka also wrote Saya no Uta, he could have done more "deep" than this.The Ribbon Red wrote:

But really, can you find a Magical Girl on that same level? (If you could, then I've missed something.
)As I said earlier, no, Madoka was a first. And they played with that fact (The opening being misleading, not showing the ending till everything is messed up)The Ribbon Red wrote:

And big part of its success is due to that (Sweet art direction and music help) The plot wasn't particulary original (Homura pulling a Furude Rika, etc) but was unique to the genre. In short, no, there are none.

I notice I wrote a lot, I apologize for that really.
In topic, my favorite anime was probably Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, it had a terrible animation studio (DEEEEN!) yet it didn't matter one bit in the end, since the story was completely daunting. I liked many more, but that one stands out.

Welcome to the club, my friend. To the 07th Expansion fan club, that is.
Since Higurashi I've read most of Ryukishi07 stuff, currently reading Higanbana no Saku Yoru Ni and liking it. That also made me sort of fan of dai's music among others. That's how I ended here actually.

Anyway, Madoka is the best magical girl cause it's not a simple magical girl, it's more like a seinen.

You know, that's pretty subjective. I know people who abhorred Madoka for the exact same reasons some call it a masterwork. "Forced Drama" is a word often used to describe it by them. Since, some actually do like their loli undergarments and dislike crying. Isn't Sailor Moon regarded as the best Magical Girl show btw? I recall it having many deaths too.Accelerator-kun wrote:

I started with Cardcaptor Sakura. So I suppose it changed a bit of my concept on Magical Girl. Though perhaps if I've watched more Magical Girl, I don't think I'll be saying this myself.
The point here is that I DON'T like too much magical girls, but I really liked Madoka. So something must be different from others! I will focus again on the dark viewpoint. Madoka got me at the ending of episode 3. I think I've said all.
