So I finished watching that Madoka anime

[CyberCubed]

I usually don't watch anime, but for some reason due to reading stuff online I eventually watched this Madoka 12-episode magical anime. Mainly because of the sci-fi and time travel twists, I wound up enjoying it for the same reasons a lot did.

What bothers me about anime in general, is the sheer mass of time they spent on the characters being overdramatic. Half the scenes are the girls constantly crying, and while a lot of that is understandable, after it happens in every single episode you just want to move on.

So it was good, and this is coming from someone who doesn't watch anime much. Should I watch the third movie?

Well, I mean, you already watched the 12 episodes, it wouldn't hurt to go ahead of "finish" the series.

Personally, out of the three things written by Gen Urobutcher, I would have to say that Madoka is my least liked (the other two being "Kamen Rider Gaim" and "Song of Saya")

So I watched the third movie to finish the series.

What the hell did I just watch. Goddamn, this is why I stay away from anime. :lol:

[Allio]

He is called "The Butcher" for a reason.

So I take it there's no other sequel or continuation at the moment? The last movie came out a while ago and there's nothing since.

Odd how they basically turned the main girl into the devil, when she was supposed to be the sympathetic character and the one you were rooting for. She was more the main character of the show than Madoka was.

I'm half-expecting a sequel to be all yuri-bait though.

From here, you go into the expanded universe (Which I personally find better than the main story)

You'll want
Madoka- The Wraith arc (Set between episode 12 and Rebellion)

Other Magica girls
Kazumi Magica
Suzune Magica
Tat Magica

Is it in anime form or is that just manga? I don't read manga.

[Allio]

That would probably be your first mistake. Expanded universe tends to not be in the same format as a main universe. So I can't help you any further than that.

[CyberCubed]

Well then I'll wait for more anime adaptions, if not, then I'm content.

Since I'm in a magical girl mood, is Sailor Moon Crystal any good? I heard the first two seasons had a rough start but they improved the designs in Season 3. Should I bother or just go watch the original series?

Cubed I thought you hated little girls?
