The pacing was way too slow in the beginning (although it was intentional, it could have been toned down a bit) and the animation was generally mediocre. Characters also felt slightly under developed for the time they had on screen.

Animation was crappy at times, most characters were one-dimensional, and the story was very generic until the last 6 or so episodes. I still loved every second of it, though.

Truly loving something means recognising and accepting its flaws, not ignoring them.

>>122329401
Does the anime include the part where Wolf somehow beats the kids up with double cross counters, even though they're 1/8 his size and don't know how to box? Because that really rubbed me the wrong way in the manga.
Christ, even if he had beaten them up in a totally sensible way, how did he get away with it? And how was everyone else in the room okay with that? Why must such a good manga have so much incredibly dumb bullshit?

The point of that is to highlight how quickly events happened and to fully explore the feelings of those who took part in it, how could you not get this?

I had a hard time coming up with flaws for it but finally found a few.

Many of the episodes are brilliant and near perfect but I feel a couple of the others just didn’t get enough development, and feel like they were included just to make the scenes more spectacular. Overall, the plot works, but there are just a bit too many plot-holes left open. Many of the important main characters that die turns out to be alive at one point (of course, all do this, just when they’re needed the most, which in lack of a better term can be considered an asspull), and some vital parts about the things that happened in the past go unexplained. Especially Daisaku’s past is guilty of this. A few scenes also like to screw physics at times, performing feats that can’t even be explained if you take the superpowers of the characters (who are never really explained in the first place) into account. Also don’t expect the ending to wrap everything up.

Regardless I still had a hard fucking time coming up with these, and they're barely issues to the story as a whole.

Ever since I watched the first OVA I’ve had an unhealthy obsession with this series. I watch it at least once every year, its just too good.

Talking about the series now. Animation was really subpar at times, lots of choppy and inconsistent character models, lack of detail at some parts etc. The soundtrack, even though I absolutely love it, got re-used a bit too often in the series, the movies did that better. The story was rushed, it needed more episodes to establish its themes and the ending was a little cheesy (but I liked it, it was cathartic). Because the story was rushed (it should have been two-cour) a lot of the character motivations felt rather lacking, attempts of backdrops to flesh them out as well, especially with Kyouko and Mami. The whole thing also lacked a lot of world building and it had its fair share of (rather minor) plotholes as well. Sayaka was by far the most fleshed out and best character in the show, but Homura is my waifu. I felt for her the whole time, why can't she be happy?

If I viewed the show critically it would be probably an 8/10 for me, but I just love it too much. It was my first "real" anime and I rewatched it over a dozen times (not counting the movies) and I still love it to that day.

Oh, and fuck Rebellion.

>>122331481
Madoka being single-cour was a giant benefit. Not a moment was wasted and everything moved at a perfect pace.

>>122331481
No you fucking idiot, it could only work as a single cour show. The episodes were already dragging along by the later half, making the show even longer would impar the balance. It wasn't really rushed more as it came out of fucking nowhere, the foreshadowing didn't aid it one bit and it shouldve been fleshed out beforehand.

I thought so too at first, but characterization and stuff like that suffered because of it.

>>122331610
If the writers tried harder they could have easily made it a two-cour masterpiece. But being two-cours means the shock factor couldn't have worked that good on the casual viewer.

>>122331680
Two cour would be far too long.
They'd need to force even more drama than they already did.

I wish anime didn't stick to the 'cour' system. Some show would benefit from being like 15 episodes long.

>>122331765
Thats where OVAs come in, its not uncommon for them to be 2-14 hour long episodes.

>>122331680
No, because they could have let it unfold more naturally and not the forced and rushed way because they only have 12 episodes to work with.

Some plot-wise (at least expected to be) important characters like Furuhata aren't fleshed out at all and left at the almost infamous "Kaiji-san" on repeat. The human derby arc turns some viewers off by simply not being a gamble though I love the variation in part 1. Narrator is sometimes redundant though not nearly as bad as in season two.

Watch enough older mecha anime from the early 90s and you’ll find out about it eventually.

You could google search the image and look at the wiki page that appears but fucking hell, I've got nothing better to do.
Giant Robo: The day the Earth stood still.
A series of 7 40-minute OVAs from the 90's.
It's absolutely fantastic.
It's not actually mecha though, it just happens to have a giant robot in it.

>>122332329
The biggest flaw is clinging to the right. Craving the D and being annoying as usual.

>>122329460
I liked Madoka as much as anyone else, but you have to admit that the pacing in the middle turned into a plodding descent into depression.

>>122332329
The biggest flaw is that it's ongoing, and it's allowed to be ongoing.

>>122332777
>It's not actually mecha though, it just happens to have a giant robot in it.
Are there any other qualifications for a show to be labled a mecha series when the robot is one of the most important aspects of the show?

It's a martial arts show.
It's just that one of the characters has a giant robot to fight for him.

I get rock and revys relationship was supposed to be polarized but good god I just couldn't stand him as a character.

Also the 'what the fuck' moments felt out of place, the show was westernized akin to trigun and shit like androgynous incestual vampiric 10 year old killer twins just didn't fit the vibe of the show at all.

Otherwise nothing about this show dissapointed me and I'll gladly say I prefer the dub over the sub.

I see that differently, anon. Yes, it is a world full of action, but also a world that's bleak even on a sunny day. Their backstory stretches things a bit, but they still fit in: kids broken by the pedophile rings to kill and enjoy gore.

Oh god where do I start. Alucard is a mary-sue in the highest regard. Although fleshed out perfectly and I don't really consider it a flaw, I can see how others may.

You won't know what's happening or why by the 9th episode you just go along with it.

The last 2 episodes are almost entirely dialogue as the studio seemingly ran out of funds.

The antagonists defeat is lackluster and while thought provoking, didn't hit the mark for me. Also, I don't understand his 'charisma' or I can sympathize with his intentions.

The very ending is.. what it is.. it kind of just leaves you like.. "ok, well what the fuck do I do now that this is over"

They alone gave the show a pretentious morbid air that Elfen lied tried to pull off and I couldn't stand the 20 minutes they were on screen.

Sometimes i wished for characters to calm down and stop overreacting
First two episodes after time skip were somehow irritating

The pacing in the show was genuinely perfect, nothing should or could be cut out and nothing could or should be added in.
>Kyouko and Mami were less developed
Which is fine, because they weren't so integral to the plot like Madoka and Homura, and Sayaka's arc was necessary for spiralling everything out of control and ripping apart Madoka's worldview. Mami and Kyouko were given just enough exposition that they seem like real, fleshed out characters, while only actually putting bits and pieces of their characters out in the open, which is a sign of good writing.

Just because the ending for the TV series closed the story just fine on its own, doesn't inherently affect the quality of Rebellion.
Sure, in the scheme of the story from a directive point of view, Rebellion didn't need to exist, which is why it was created years later after the series gained a ton of popularity.
It's still an amazing movie that does nothing but build upon the TV series in many ways.

I went into this with pretty low expectations and that might be why it impressed me the way it did. I could praise it all day but i'm not a fucking idiot and i do recognize it's faults.
>animation quality is pretty subpar
For such a short series i really wished the animation was nicer. The backgrounds were actually the nicest part of the visuals.
And my main gripe
>The whole explanation for magical girls seems a bit too convenient for the writers
It was made clear that the incubators don't really understand how magical girls work so the writers don't have to follow a strict logic with them. That's still fine but, even though it was foreshadowed, the "more fate gets attached to Madoka with each new time reset and the universe starts to center around her" always felt too convenient, but i can look past it as it did serve another purposes well and the series is more about the character development anyway.

I never found this to be edgy though. It's really just sad.

Cutting out Kite from the beginning was probably a bad move

Alluka is pretty much an asspull

The nen power creep sometimes doesn't make sense, like Kalluto being able to use nen by Chimera Ant with his own hatsu and everything even though hes younger than Killua was before Killua even knew what nen was

The Bomber is a poorly written villian, especially when compared to the rest in the show

The chimera ant arc tends to drag a bit between Kite dying and the palace invasion

Thats all that comes to mind

>Kyouko and sayaka go from hating each other to lesbians
>Homura goes from awkward wimp to cynical and selfish
>Madoka overcomes her inferiority complex
And these are just simplified descriptions.

A lot of the confusion that came up due to time travel could have been avoided entirely by just saying "Hey guys I just jumped into here from a timeline we just changed, care to fill me in if trying to alter X worked out or not?" when he jumps. There's so many times where it almost looks like Okarin is trying to keep it a secret that he's using time travel when speaking to the very people he built and used it with.

Also the shower scene was completely unnecessary but we might as well take a jab at fanservice because it's a funny trope, right guys?

>>122351050
>Kyouko and sayaka go from hating each other to lesbians
That never happened.

>Homura goes from awkward wimp to cynical and selfish
Shit character development honestly.
Homura's backstory, attachment to Madoka and becoming stoic is not character development in any possible sense, only a refinement due to her task. Nothing about her changed because her beginnings were shit.

>Madoka overcomes her inferiority complex

Counter argument to shitposting? Okay here goes.
>Madoka
episode 1: Cutesy middleschool girl, definition of innocence, worries about people liking her based on hair ribbon etc.
12: Matured through experiences, resolves to completely sacrifice her existence as an individual just so every magical girl across the world doesn't have to suffer, the ultimate in altruistic sacrifices.
>Sayaka
Do I really have to do this one?
1: Average tomboyish girl, m-muh husbando is so kawaii.
5: I can save the world, justice exists, I'll win the boy, don't worry Madoka I'll save you too.
9: This world isn't worth saving, my friend and husbando don't care about me, I sold my soul to the devil for absolutely nothing.
>Mami
1: Kind motherly figure, mentor archetype
10: Psychologically unstable girl hiding behind a warm exterior, shatters under pressure.
>Kyouko
5: Big mean rival, doesn't believe in being a good person like our likeable protagonists.
9: All of her nuances, down to even her eating disorder are based off of the psychological trauma of believing her entire family died for her, wants to be alone so she can't get hurt by the inevitable loss of others, but finds someone worth trying to save in Sayaka.
>Homura
Oh boy here we go.
1: Mysterious and dark transfer student, bland trope character.
10: Holy shit I'm not going to try and summarise everything that happened here.
Rebellion: So psychologically focused on Madoka after spending about 8 and a half years repeating the same month over and over again that she can't find happiness in anything else now that Madoka's sacrifice has pulled the girl out of Homura's reach forever. Willing to sacrifice everything, even Madoka's wishes, just to fullfill her own selfish wants. Conciously manipulates and knocks down everyone in her way because she's come to terms with her obsession.

How the fuck does anyone come to this conclusion. So it isn't character development because of what? You don't want it to be? What do you base this shit on?

>>Madoka overcomes her inferiority complex
>Not much of a development.
Again admitting that it is at least something.

>>122351269
>Matured through experiences
None of which is character development, only her seeing shit.
She's never actually grown at any time.

>Do I really have to do this one?
Not really but I will say that Sayaka is the only one who had character development, even if it was poorly done due to her own stupid idealism and shit writing into wanting to make her kill herself.

>Mami
>1: Kind motherly figure, mentor archetype
>10: Psychologically unstable girl hiding behind a warm exterior, shatters under pressure.
Nope, that's not character development and you know it.
Seeing her break is not character development.

>Homura
Ep 10

>Rebellion
Nope, not even
Homura's development throughout 12 episodes and the movie is this
>I'm bland
>oh look someone cares for me
>fuck, she died
>let's see if I can save her
>damn it doesn't work
>damn it doesn't work, keep trying
>fuck, I just can't do it
>I LOVE YOU MADOKA
The only thing Rebellion did to develop Homura's character was to develop Homura's dedication to saving Madoka and change it to love.
That's boring and poor development because Homura has no character.

You know the entire series has poor character when the SoL bits in the movie are so poorly done that they have nothing to work on and the character interaction is bland.

Literally all you've done is show archetypes and it being poorly builded upon, not actual character development in any sense.

Sayaka being the only exception, with none of the cast really having much personality past their wooden and bland characterization.

>R2 went from R1's stratagy base to a more generic "muh mech is better than urs" plotline.

The whole premise of the series was that Britania was slaughtering countries because of the superiority of the Knightmare frames. Then they would create prototypes for mechas and when they did well they would mass produce them and then the prototypes would get upgraded to rediculous levels. Lelouch still used strategy throughout the series he just had to account for the rising power of individual mechs.

>Suzaku's sense of morality was a little fucked

He fucked up as a kid and tried to just maintain that the fuck up was right his whole life, his skewed sense of morality was basically the entirety of mostly bland character.

>Lelouche making everyone in the black knights hate him was just stupid because he didn't have his endgame in mind until after that.

Uh, he had given up on life at that point and just wanted a way out for the black knights and more specifically Kallen. He only proceeded to live onwards because of Rolo's intervention...

>>122352709
Please explain in a way that doesn't make it sound as though it's self-evident.

>>122352754
You gave no rules to simplification. As far as i know you can simplify something to an absurd degree and of course it will sound boring. I could say that Mona Lisa is just a picture of a woman with slightly weird hands and does that sound appealing? If not then is it shit? And again. The example could be anything.

These things really don't occur to you don't they?

>I could say that Mona Lisa is just a picture of a woman with slightly weird hands and does that sound appealing?
That's a valid criticism albeit pointlessly extreme.
It's not why the Mosa Lisa is good, it's because of its mystery of the identity of the woman.
