I am one of the biggest fans of Shimada Humikane's artwork and mecha musume in general and even I thought Sky Girls was terrible. Seriously, do yourself a favor and go watch Strike Witches. It's Sky Girls done right.

Just as Eva is a deconstruction of the giant robot genre, Madoka is a deconstruction of the magical girl genre. Both are anime that are intentionally made to appear innocent and cliche on the surface to draw in unsuspecting viewers. Once they have your attention, however, they show their true colors. I thought I would never see anything as mindbendingly, horrifyingly wonderful as The End of Evangelion... and then along came Madoka. If you enjoyed Evangelion for its psychological themes and brutal, thought-provoking ending, do yourself a favor and watch Madoka Magica.
