Mini Anime Review - Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

The perfect deconstruction of the magical girl genre, taking the tried and tested concepts of teenage witches and cutesy companions and turning it on their heads.

The macabre themes and emotions running wrought throughout this work of art add to it's depth and make it a stunning piece of animation, by far the best that is ever going to come from the magical girl genre any time soon.
The animation is fluent and very pleasing to the eye, with sections being made to seem cut out and doll like it adds an eerie quality to the show that is missing in many anime of newer seasons.
The show at time can be very depressing and is not for those with a fragile disposition, on the whole a total recommendation for any lovers of magic and tragedy.
