Okay, for those of you who do not know of this show, then you don't know what the fuss is about. Now, a friend of mine demanded I watch this show. it starts off pretty slow and pretty stereotypical that it's easy to get bored watching it. It starts like the usual "normal girl meets girl with magical powers and magic girl is like "you can be magic too!"" like most magic girl animes. Well... it's like that for two episodes, and then shit gets real with Magic Girl Mami gets her head FUCKING RIPPED OFF BY A MONSTER AND HORRIBLY SCARS TWO CHILDREN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THEIR NATURAL LIVES! That scene was so shocking and unexpected, that the creator felt he had to apologize to his fans for scaring them, for he felt he misled them. No shit Sherlock.
Well, the movie has been out for awhile now. I got kinda into the show until Sakaya died. She was my favorite, and she was awesome, then BOOM, dead. Then I quickly lost interest, cause most of the other characters quickly got on my nerves. The show itself had a tendency to get twisted and convoluted at times, and really assumed quickly that you actually gave a shit about the characters in this show. I only gave one shit about one character in this show, and they fucking killed her off. NOW I didn't get to the end, so maybe it was all happy funtimes at the end, and the same for the movies, but for the most part the series relied heavily on time travel, branched off destinies that can go one way or another, and what-if scnarios that consequently don't really have much bearing on what happens at all, since it's just something that "might've" happened. I don't mind when shows do this, but the way they did it in this show just annoyed the crap out of me, and just made the show confusing. If you're looking ofr somethign with plenty of twists and turns, then by all means give it a watch. If you want strong character development and a solid linear plot, then no... get far away. the animation is beautiful and the psychological aspects are nice, but just not something I can settle into and watch with comfort.
