The anime, despite the opening, does not revolve around Madoka Kaname. Which is a pretty epic way to have the biggest main character be a character on the sidelines. The main character is actually Homura Akemi, who repeatedly goes back in time to try to prevent Kaname from dying so she can remain with her... reminds me of another twist ending plotline, oh right! Mirai Nikki!
The series is really dark. It involves love, but it also involves plenty of death, pain, and anguish. Mourning and scarred pasts are common. But in a good light, there is plenty of pubescent lesbianism in here, which makes it pretty awesome. Taboo and dark.
I love this anime both due to the dark feeling of the characters, and the magical abilities. The characters are able to fight witches due to the magical abilities they have gained by, basically selling their soul to alien lifeforms. The character development is pretty cool, and one of them even has fangs : 3
The ending was ok, if not kinda cliche'. She has the power and changes the entire universe, past, and future, because of it. That way nobody ever has to become a witch ever again. Kinda reminds me of... Mirai Nikki. This anime has a lot of correlations it seems. Person gains power to become ruler of space and time, and the other character fights to keep them in their memories despite everything.
I would recommend this anime to anyone who wants to watch it. Espessially those like me who like anime with a dark, macabre twist.
