Madoka Magica
2011-03-25 03:29Watched through episode 10, which is all that is released so far. It is even more awesome, and that's without the Easter eggs or (translated) extra material on a wiki. Art, music, characters, plotting, all superb.
I was going to say that one nice touch compared to other magical girl shows is a lack of naked transformation scenes, but Kyouko's was naked. I think even with nipple, rather than glowy breast blob, though I'm not sure. But she was the first one, out of N magical girls.
This reminded me that my last straw with Nanoha StrikerS was Erio not having a naked transformation. Not that I particularly wanted to see naked male but after 5+ females the asymmetry was blatant. And the first six episodes had been boring anyway. Oddly I've since been fairly sucked into Nanoha fandom because there's actually a bunch of cool stuff there.
Someone says of Madoka:
"The first four DVD/BR are all charting in the top 10 for pre-orders in Japan. Not anime, but overall. It is the most talked about anime in the history of 2ch."
