• Both have deceptively moe character design/art styles and an innocuous premise (magical girl, fantasy/adventure), but traverse down much darker paths than initially expected. • Both have a young, innocent female main character who perseveres through whatever trials are thrown at her without losing her faith or resolve. • Both have tragic characters who are disfigured or transformed in some way. • Both have aspects of magic or fantasy that reveal themselves as much darker than initially expected throughout the course of the narrative (Madoka and the Soul Gems, Abyss and the Curse of the Abyss).
