Both feature the alter ego of a young girl fighting strange creatures in a surreal otherworld.
You are a girl (a hot one) and you wanted to save your friend from something audience never get to know. But there are more than two girls in a show, and you can't get along with one without epic catfighting with the others.
1- Imagine yourself in that kind of situation, with physics-teaching alien who try to save the universe but lack the understanding of human emotion (aka. see human as disposable-condom-used-to-keep-the-excess-magical-power-used-to-save-universe-from-heat-death), and that alien is your employer. You got Magical Madoka.
2- Imagine yourself in that kind of situation in a black and white TV series that ended halfway and never announced sequel.

These shows both have the same feeling. Also, both have middle school girls who end up fighting in "another world." Plus the animation is similar.
'magical' girls, story about friendship and a hidden universe. When I watched the first ep, it hit me. This was like BRS, only more colorful and a lot darker[if that made sense]
both have 2 worlds it seems, and gives off the same feeling and have really similar points in it. Both first start off with a dark scene, then introduce the characters with a light tone feeling, but gradgually gets darker.

Though the plots of Magica and Black Star are different, the animation is basically the same way. If you love how Magica was drawn, you will love Black Star Shooter. Black Star also has a similar dark tragedy story like Magica, where its a female friend fighting for a female friend. It also involves alternate dimension like scenes. The only real difference is the two girls fight each other as opposed to Magica they fought 'witches'
Both demonstrate the inner turmoil of schoolgirls as otherworldy combat. Both take their approach quite differently, but that twisted world is the one significant thing they share, and likely what you are looking for.
Modoka Magica takes the route of magical girls who work toward squaring off against the inner evil of humanity. Only to be subject to the inner evil amongst themselves. As they come to learn of the twisted reality of the fate they have chosen, infighting occurs just before they face their greatest foe.
Black Rock Shooter divides the world in two: the real world and the otherworld. In the otherworld you see girls
