Review of Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story

Take Madoka, and remove (almost) everything that made it so good. Now you have Magia Record. The Original Madoka had a small, but memorable cast of characters and a pretty simple, but powerful story. The characters in this show are just cliches and tropes, and even after 13 episodes I didn't care about any of them. In fact I barely even remember them, which makes sense considering there's so many characters that there's simply not enough time to flesh them out. The story is a mess and I didn't understand much of it, but it seems to negate or at least conflict with what happens in thefinale of the original Madoka which is a terrible thing to do.

At least the cool SHAFT visuals and the nice OST are still there, but that's everything good I can say about this unfortunately.
Maybe the only way to enjoy this would be to play the mobile game, but since I have the Audacity to live in Europe that won't happen because it's not available in our App Store here.
