Puella Magi Madoka Magica – 2

For those of you who haven’t watched Hidamari Sketch, are you adjusted to the character designs of Madoka, yet?  One of the questions I had when I saw the promotional art and videos was, “Isn’t this going to bother me?”  Back then, I thought it’d take until half the series was over before I grew accustom to that character design.  Instead, I consider myself cured, or at least immune, as of this episode.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica – 1

So, Akiyuki Shinbo is directing a magical girl anime and Shaft is doing the animation.  Having watched and loved some of their previous works (Bakemonogatari, Maria Holic, ef series), I could only get thrilled to see they were at it again this season with Puella Magi Madoka Magica.  And I am not disappointed.
