It's been six years. When will Japan produce another anime that comes this close to perfection?
Not even the best show of its own season.
Re:Zero aired last year.

They just did.

What? Winter 2011 was a fucking wasteland otherwise.
>>156126081
Flip Flappers was better in every single way.
>>156126447
What was it? That CGI thing?
>>156126081
Edgy Nanoha is pretty crappy though.
>>156126352
How many fractales did your favorite anime sell?
>>156126081
Madoka is a solid 7/10

Homura did nothing wrong!
>>156126081
Yuki Yuna was 2.5 years ago.
And it's actually being continued.
>>156126646
Yuki Yuna is far from perfect, all the drama shit keeps getting in the way of my energetic SoL
>>156126646
What, did that town in Shikoku dip into their pension fund for them this time?
Madoka would have been decent if its ending didn't trivialize the entire show.
>>156126646
Yuki Yuna is a COMPLETELY ORIGINAL anime that happens to bear a cosmetic similarity to Madoka. It's an allegory for the experiences of the average Japanese soldier in WW2.
Madoka meanwhile is a blatant ripoff of Kamen Rider Ryuki with some Evangelion, Bokurano, and Princess Tutu thrown in. Toei should've sued the shit out of Aniplex.
>>156126081
It only took then 1 year. 2012 GuP.
All this hate for Madoka proves how good it is. We all know /a/ is hipsters.

Says the guy whose favorite meme studio is currently producing an NHK show which is bombing in the ratings and thus literally wasting taxpayer money.

So it is on the same place as SAO?
>>156126906
Yup the vertexs didn't take any inspiration from angels.
And the characters and their dynamics didn't follow any sort of formulaic design already set up by prior magical girl anime. Togo and Yuna certainly bare no similarities in character arc to Homura and Madoka. The only thing the series can claim as truly original is disabling the main cast.

I agree it's unoriginal, but you are surely overstating how original Homura and Madoka was.

Fresh new characters. Completely unlike anything Urobuchi had done before, yep.

I never said they were original, but when you have two yuri bait magical suffering girls with the same color scheme and character dynamic as a popular show that came before it, drawing a comparison is perfectly understandable.
I will go as far as to say Yuna is Madoka done right. She is shown trying her best to help people out and seeks opportunities to aid her community through the hero club, while still addressing her own shortcomings when it comes to smarts or general skill. Madoka is only shown lamenting how useless she is and how she wants to help people, but takes no initiative before gaining powers. So while I still say Yuna is unoriginal, that doesn't make her terrible because she builds upon what was established. The rest of the cast don't really add to their archetypes, however, so I can't help but write them off.

Actually they look more like MP Evas to me, atleast those kind do.
>>156126081
Umaru in 2015.
>>156126081
Literally last season without it being the retarded yuri edgefest it was.

You fail to understand both characters.
Watch more anime.
