FUCK EVERY MAGICAL GIRL ANIME THAT ISN'T MAHOU SHOUJO MADOKA MAGICA

Holy fucking shit this show. It's got a unique, gorgeous art style. It's pacing blows the shit out of that of every other magical girl anime ever. The writing and twists go "FUCK YOU" to all your expectations of the genre. I mean, seriously, this is fucking awesome. Not to mention the art style in reality marbles where everything looks like it's made of random clips of art. The fight scenes are amazing, too. In fact, my only real complaint thus far is that there's some pointless fanservice in the OP.

Favorite parts (spoilers up to episode 8): Mami dying, because ho-shits she got her head bitten off. The soul gems thing because that's kind of a "Well... fuck" revelation for all the characters. Kyubei being shot and later being revealed to be a villain. Sayaka turning into a witch.

Seriously, you fucks, watch this goddamn show. This is SHAFT at its finest tearing apart an entire genre and doing it right.

We're going to start discussing this show now? Alright!

Except all I have to say about it is at the same level as what I have to say about Bleach, which isn't much. This was a good episode, though; number eight. Homura made me go, "Holy crap!" twice ( when she spawned grenades and when she SHOT KYUBEY IN THE FACE ). So, that was nice. I hadn't done that since episode three.

Er, let me find a neat video directed by the same guy who directs the witches' labyrinth segments... Found it.

Oh, also, this jank got me to read a translation of Goethe's Faust. It's a neat play. I could read Faust and Mephistopheles bickering all day.

More edits: Oh, carp, I forgot that I posted this in the sketch thread. I made an edit of it using a screen shot, and it makes me happy every time I see it on the internet.

I watch Precure, my friend. Genre has nothing to do with how good this show is.

This is a huge spoiler for Episode 3, but also will make you feel better about yourself, for not being this guy
