very solid anime, enough to where i actually made a topic about it

it's sort of a dark twist on the magical girl genre that gets really good as it goes along

you actually made it through the first episode?

wait a second i get it i got trolled

sev · July 10, 2011 05:39 PM

get mad kid

I skipped it because the title is stupid, but I've slowly been regretting it. I'll probably watch it one day.

should i have put a disclaimer that says "if you don't like anime you probably shouldn't watch this"?

i thought that was kind of obvious and a given

It's worth the watch imo. The first 3 episodes are probably the stumbling block that stops a lot of people watching the entire series - but the further it goes on, the better it gets at deconstructing and reconstructing the magical girl cliches and stuff.

I think some people might remember me whining about it when it first came out because of the first 3 episodes, ahahah.

I absolutely love it now though

wait so is this like another evangelion or something? (ie taking a cliche cartoon premise and making it psychological/dark)

Shida · July 10, 2011 07:02 PM

It's not so much psychological as it is giving realistic and believable reasons for cliches of anime appearing in it.
Dark though? Definitely.

i wouldn't call that a dark twist, just a really violent parody.

just watched the first 2 movies and will be watching a camrip of the third today. Kott has been on my balls for a while now to watch that, at first I had no fucking idea why, when I started watching it. I thought "jeez even doremi is a better magical girl anime". Then I got to the part where they're told about the deal. And then why the deal is bad. And then what consequences the deal has on their life.

Pretty damn great show. If you haven't seen it before and don't want to watch the anime, I'd suggest the movies, apparently they move along a lot quicker without you regretting your decision to watch it for 3 episodes.
