So this isn't the anime thread, but since I don't really like the Anime thread and I was finally pushed to watch the show in this thread, I thought that I'd follow up with my feelings on the show here.
Just finished watching Madoka. The last four episodes were pretty good. Episode 10 was killer tho. Best one in the show and was really awesome. My type of episode and what I hoped the whole show would be like. I understand why the show felt so slow at the start but I just couldn't engage with the first 8 episodes but it all made sense and clicked in the last 4 episodes. It's a shame tho, like I understand that the director doesn't want to reveal anything upfront and keep it all under wraps and that's a story choice, but for me it meant I couldn't engage until the revelations which was in the last third of the show. I never hated it from start to end, but wasn't engaged until episode 9 onwards. I think with a second viewing it'll hold up more, but that's for another time in the distant future. A solid 7.5 out of 10?
