Mawaru Penguindrum and Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica... too typical of me to like Madoka? ;~;

Nanoha's similar, but it's not that deep. (Considering what it is actually originated from)Net-Nue wrote:
^hmm,, i found one,,!! Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha..
but, i haven't watched it,, so,, i don't know the story =w=
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:

Oh yeah... I forgot that Magical Girl are supposed to be fanservice. Silly Madoka...Nanael wrote:

With all this said, I really really liked it, I just try to be objective.
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:
But really, can you find a Magical Girl on that same level? (If you could, then I've missed something. )
Well, there's your answer, - Kud -.Nanael 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.

Why didn't you say that earlier?Nanael wrote:
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.
Nice. I like Higanbana as well (especially Higanbana herself... [LOLICON MODE]).Nanael wrote:
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.
Depending on your viewpoint, I guess. But yeah, it really changed the Magical Girl genre.Accelerator-kun wrote:

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:

You think? To me it is still the same fanservice+power of friendship formula, as alwaysThe Ribbon Red wrote:

Is impartiality such a weird thing? The fact I like something doesn't make it the best thing ever, nor blind me to its flaws. I still really liked it.Accelerator-kun wrote:

You just gave me something to do, I never finished Phantom, it's about time to do it.Bakario wrote:
New shit has been added : Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~, Casshern Sins, Baccano!.
Specially Phantom, such deep plot.
Well, yeah IMO.Nanael wrote:

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.
Don't know about Phantom...Bakario wrote:

Don't look at me with that dark look, I watch it for the story (I like it, seriously) and for the action scenes. Characters are also appreciable.The Ribbon Red wrote:
