Review of Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story

season 1 of magia record was ALOT. there was an entirely new setting, a new cast of characters, a group of magical girls called magius. based off on the mobile game magia record, the anime tries to write an enitrely new story where this timeline will fail. all of the characters are fucking amazing. they all get their own arcs, yachiyo is gay with iroha. (which is wierd, iroha is only 15) magia record expands on the world that madoka magica introduced, there's groups of magical girls, an entire city full of them. a god damn boarding house that yachiyo owns to live with her teammates. there is alot going, but at the same time it doesn't feel cramped or unfocused. the show really just focuses on the main cast. SNAA, felicia, yachiyo, iroha, and tsuruno. the characters are endearing as fuck, snaa is a cinnamon roll, felicia is basically kyoko, yachiyo is gay as fuck with iroha, and iroha wants to find her sister.

The main goal of magia record is for iroha to find her sister. the great part is that we get attached to ui through flashbacks of ui with touka and nemu. so we as the audience also want iroha to find ui as quickly as possible.

8/10
great start!
