User Recommendations for Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Both series written by Gen Urobuchi. Both series' music done by Yuki Kajiura. Both series deal with granting wishes, all of which come at a big price.

Both are Urobuchi Gen's works. They have the similar "fight to have your wish granted" theme. Epic masterpieces. Have unpredictable stories and twists. Most characters die.

Both written by Gen Urobouchi. They involve the concept of granting wishes. Both are very dark, and many characters die. Also, Homura and Kiritsugu are kinda similar. Also, being Lancer is suffering.

They are both written by the same person and produced by Nitroplus but are different in terms of genres. Despite that, both have dark themes and based on the use of magic.

Both are dark and very mature anime. Both are written by Gen Urobuchi aka 'Urobutcher'. And both of the soundtracks in these two shows are composed by Yuki Kajiura. There's not much to say as it's best to watch either of these shows blind and if you are looking for a serious and dark anime, I would definitely recommend both of them. I also like to add that the main characters for both Madoka Magica and Fate/Zero share similar abilities. Both shows contain great psychological meaning in them and that's why I love them. But then again, this is only my opinion.

Both have a good character development, very VERY tragic moments and very tragic characters and a hidden antagonist (although, in Fate/Zero is clear if you watched Stay/night...). Also written by the same author (Gen Urobochi).

Both animes are from Gen Urobuchi and are absolute masterpieces. Furthermore, both works are very similar in their underlying philosophy and the development od the story.

They have similar styles of writing, both being written by Gen Urobuchi. If you enjoyed Madoka Magica's dark mood, interesting themes, and good pacing, then you will likely enjoy Fate/Zero (mostly the 2nd season).

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the year that Gen Urobuchi made two of his finest creations. - Both Madoka★Magica and Fate/Zero are dark urban fantasy stories, presenting an atmosphere that mixes elements of horror with the manifestations of magic. The visual execution of this is different, especially given Shaft's eccentricity, but the essence is similar. - While both works contain action and their scenes are definitely acclaimed, the most important portion of these stories lies in their dialogue and the clash of perspectives between the different cast members. It is worth noting the difference that Fate/Zero has a much larger cast than Madoka★Magica. - Both animes

same writer/ themes
