Honestly, I don't know why everyone compares this to Madoka Magica, the two are completely different except that they share the magical girl genre. If that's the only reason, go compare it to sailor moon too. Now, the art for this anime is amazing, it has its own new style that no other anime that I've seen has really been anywhere close to. The sound was amazing and linked up with the ever-building story perfectly. All the way down to the opening as well. The character's each had there own unique backstories that weren't copied and pasted from other shows. Overall this anime was apleasure to watch and is one of the few I can keep coming back too again and again.
