The show must go on! No literally, the show should really keep going on. I only recently finished it and I'm already aching for more episodes.

At first, what may appeal to you and make you want to watch the show is the art. After all, it's very colorful, bright, and overall beautiful. It's enticing to say the least, and the first thing that hits you is probably how beautifully animated and drawn it is.

After the outstanding art settles in, the characters and plot may seem lacking. It centers around Nai and Gareki; a dynamic duo who met by chance and chance alone. They're soon ... intertwined into a world of action and danger via Circus, a protection agency whose sole mission is to protect the world from the Varuga and Kafta. (You'll find out more about them throughout the show.) The two soon begin building friendships with some of Circus's members, such as with Yogi and Tsukumo. The show itself is very well paced for such a small amount of episodes. However, the show itself ended leaving a lot to be asked for and desired. Many questions were left unanswered, and that usually doesn't leave a good taste in your mouth, particularly with no promises of a future season.

The music is good. The opening and ending are cute enough and catchy as well. Most of the music and sfx fit well in the show, so I really can't complain.

All in all, I would give this show a watching. With only thirteen episodes, it's a shame if you don't. It's creative, mysterious, and all in all a good time.

Happy Watching!

Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica is not your ordinary magical girl anime; far from it.! This anime throws a out a theme that is usually so easily forgotten in fantasy... magic always comes with a price. Are you willing to pay it?
The story starts off with a young Madoka, an average student whose biggest wish is to be noticed by a boy and be successful in life. After having a strange dream, she soon finds that it is slowly turning into reality. After saving a cat-like creature named Kyubey, Madoka and her friend are given the chance to not only have a wish granted, but also to ... become magical girls and fight witches!
As the story progresses, it certainly goes from a friendly, joyful series to a much more serious and tragic one. The characters suffer through a lot, and after watching it, it can leave a sour taste after all the tragedy they go through. It's refreshing to see a show challenge the usual happy and free life of a magic girl. In all honesty, I really enjoyed the show and it's a must-see for anyone who enjoys magical girl themes.
The plot is quick enough to keep the action racing and kickstarts straight into the show. At times it's too fast. Some moments and revelations could be paced more, but I digress. Good plot, and I certainly was left waiting to see what would happen next. I was satisfied with the ending and was glad I watched it as a whole.
The animation is certainly different. I personally don't love it. However, it's effective in showing the character's emotion and giving off a certain innocence to the characters. The witch fights are even more worth it in my opinion. Each one looks and feels different. Some are more unnerving than others once you realize where the witches come from.
The music is okay. The openings and endings are good in giving the general feelings about the show. You believe you're entering a much more friendly and joyful show and it slowly morphs into tragedy and grief. The sound effects are good and fitting. However, in my opinion some of the songs inside the show were repetitive, but it fits well enough.

I really enjoyed the show and the ending was excellent.
