Madoka? A GOOD ANIME?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

No, guys. Stop it. I'll die from laughter if you continue to spout such funny things. XDDDDD

If I would want to watch a magical girls show, I would go and watch Heartcatch Precure. At least it's good.

then again thats obviously not true, lots of popular stuff is [parasitic bomb].

I just said it was better than PSG, which is [parasitic bomb].

you can keep saying that, I can keep ignoring it.

I obviously have different tastes in anime then you.

This'd be true if it wasn't wrong. Actually, I've hated most of what Gainax has ever put out. TTGL, which seems to be loved by everyone, made me wanna punch myself in the face. But that's just, like, my opinion, bro.

Haven't watched it myself, but from what I gather it's a well-executed deconstruction of the magical girl genre. Does that sound about right?

The thing about GAINAX, is you're not supposed to take their shows entirely seriously. It's sorta like Michael Bay's Transformers, just watch it because it's good "dumb fun" and has great action. Maybe Transformers isn't a good example, but GAINAX is known for it's over-the-top action. Like a popcorn flick.

Personally, i really enjoyed TTGL. Most people who didn't was because of the over excessive GAR, wacky transformations, story (which i thought was well done) and the humor. When the point is: their shows are great to watch on a lazy day. You don't have to stress yourself over the plot points. Just sit back, watch and have fun. That's why i respect them.

I'm sorry, what?

I never said anything about a goddamn boycott, so don't be cramming words into my mouth, I just said if nobody gives me a damn good reason to watch the show I'm just not going to watch it, simple as that.

again, thats not "boycotting" the show in any way.

Boycotting it would be refusing to watch and not listening to reason, its also called stubborness.

And by reason, I mean somebody just has to leave a video someplace, hell thats how I even decided to watch PSG.

So essentially you made an arguement out of nothing.

A long time ago.  And recently got re-released *hugs his copy<3*

Post by: Rin on July 03, 2011, 02:19:29 PM
I hate NGE, I hate FLCL, I like GURREN LAGANN, I so-so like PSG (mostly because of Demon Sisters and Garter).
LOL GAINAX

As for this show... I've seen some of it on YT, because I didn't want to risk downloading it and then being disappointed... yeah, it was a wise move.
Somehow a sorta kinda grimdark retarded loli moe-blob show about magical girls... does not appeal to me. Which says something when I still like Sailor Moon and even enjoy Heartcatch Precure. Where the last one isn't grimdark (unlike Sailor Moon, which at times is), I find myself enjoying its great, "cute" and colorful cast of characters more than what Madoka throws at me.

Dunno, maybe grimdark magikal lolis aren't my thing... but I REALLY don't see the appeal of this show. I'll even go as far as to say it's [parasitic bomb].

It kinda seems to me that from now on, this will become "baby's first anime", dethroning Elfen Lied from this position.

Who says it's going to air on TV? It's probably going to be a DVD only release. : D

Madoka Magica Writer Urobuchi Compares Plot to Al-Qaeda (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com.au/interest/2011-08-30/madoka-magica-writer-urobuchi-compares-plot-to-al-qaeda)

wat

Quote
Asahi: Magical girls, who are full of hope and who strive to save the people, soon suffer from hatred and jealousy, which turn them into the enemy witches. The change from good to evil left an emotional impact.

Urobuchi: For example, Al-Qaeda brought down the Twin Towers due to their own righteousness. Justice for some people is an evil for others. Good intentions, kindness, and hope will not necessarily make people happy.

You understood him wrong.
The guy is right. For Al-Qaeda what they did was justice. They think of their evil acts as righteous.
But are they really righteous? In the eyes of most, not really. It's quite the opposite actually. What they did was pure [tornado fang]ing evil.
But they themselves do not think of it as evil, but as I said "justice".
It's all based on points of view. Someone once said that ultimate evil is the one that doesn't realize/doesn't think of itself as "evil". Rather it thinks of itself as righteous and just.

In other words, give it a break. The guy doesn't support Al-Qaeda nor does he think what they did is "justified". He merely pointed out something, many people often overlook.

Altough yeah, it is kind of stupid of him to even make the comparisons.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that he's outright right. Maybe admit that he as a point.
Pretty [tornado fang]ing sure he could have put it better than that though.

i like how pretty much this entire thread is arguing about whether or not madoka is a good anime, rathar than arguing about whether or not it would localize in the US well.

if you're looking for my opinion, it's not bad. i liked the character designs and not much more when i first watched it but got more attached to the idea behind it a while later. don't let anyone tell you that injecting death and tragedy into magical girls is a new idea, that [parasitic bomb]'s been around for years. madoka pulls it off in an interesting manner though.

of course i'm more concerned about how my waifu will sound in english than anything else, like any discerning anime no-lifer.
