This is Great Value Madoka Magica: it looks kinda like the real thing, but the flavor is different and not quite as good. First thing to note is that it's more of a spin-off than a sequel. If you go into the series accepting it for what it is, you probably won't hate it. The story is fine, but to...

Going into this show I was a bit worried due to its significantly lower rating than the original show and just the overall thought of them making a side story to milk off the original, and maybe they were to an extent but I think this show actually did pretty well as a side story. The beginning i...

Now, this isn’t going to be a very thorough review, I just wanted to point out a couple of things that I think are important. The biggest problem with Magia Record is that it assumes you’ve already played the game. Now, I’m not saying that shows can’t be made fore people who have already played a...

The art direction and fight choreography still dazzle, giving each of the myriad magical girls a unique look and set piece battles that are as kinetic as ever. Unfortunately, the sprawling cast gets barely an episode apiece, leaving them emotionally hollow, while the plot ricochets between timeli...

“Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story” (quite the mouthful) is an anime adaptation by Shaft Studios of a mobile game series based in the Madoka Magica universe. Now I know the regurgitating feeling you must be feeling hearing the word “mobile” and “anime” in the same sentence, but w...

The following review is for Magia Record as a whole, taking into account all 3 seasons. What exactly is it that makes Madoka Magica so great? Is it the jaw-dropping story? The characters? The premise? The directing? The production quality? I think it is all of these things and Madoka would have n...

It's always unfortunate when an adaptation falls short, since it does a disservice to the fans as well as the original property. An anime adaptation of the mobile game of the same name, this anime is blessed with the surreal visuals of the original Madoka anime and held back by its hasty approach...

(This is about the first season of the show) This is just a cute Mahou Shoujo anime, it was kinda of generic with nothing a lot about the original Madoka Magica, it's just a 7/10 because of the character interactions and good animation but just because of a specific arc that happens on episodes 9...

I would like to begin this by saying that despite taking place in the same universe as Madoka, with the same power system (up till stuff later in the anime), this is absolutely a different anime. If you were expecting the same flavour of surprise and awe from Madoka, you'd likely find yourself am...

Honestly? Magia Record was just... "fine." I guess that’s the best way to put it. It feels pretty forgettable in the grand scheme of things, to the point where I don't even remember most of what actually happened. From what I recall, we follow Iroha, who honestly feels like a "Walmart-branded" ve...
