Gushing Over Magical Girls is to Madoka Magica what Madoka is to classic magical girl shows — it's a subversion of a subversion. Though Gushing Over Magical Girls is ecchi (bordering on hentai at points), that doesn't strip of it what it actually is — a dark magical girl show. It has its darker moments and themes and twists, similar to Madoka. There are points in the show where it takes itself and its themes seriously. The mascot characters especially share a lot of personality traits and themes. Additionally, both shows have yuri themes (Gushing Over Magical Girls is more explicit about them than Madoka, but they are both there). Gushing Over Magical Girls is like if Madoka was a way more comedic and perverted ecchi anime. They both have similar themes of downfalls and falls from grace, though Madoka is more of a drama while Gushing Over Magical Girls is typically more comedic about it. Both protagonists are around the same age and start as kind of shy girls.
