Suisei no Gargantia

Similarities:
- Both Madoka and Gargantia are made by Gen Urobuchi
- Both have nice characters
- Both can easily trick you into thinking that they're lighthearted (although their lighthearted parts are very good also...)
- Both are from genres that generally are overlooked by everyone (Mahou Shoujo/Mecha)
It's quite unprecise to say more since Gargantia isn't yet finished and Madoka is going to get a movie, but still.
PS: Gargantia's "tragedy checkpoint" is the episode 6/7 with peak on 9 while Madoka's is the episode 3.
