I wasn't sure if there was a section here devoted to anime talk. I just finished watching the series Madoka Magica and really enjoyed it. Has anyone else seen it? It's kind of a dark twist on the classic Sailor Moon style anime, about girls who become "magical girls" to fight off evil witches. I really encourage anime lovers to watch several episodes because there are some strange revelations throughout that make you want to know more.

I saw that last month and thought it was amazing!
Then I went on an anime binge and watched about 10 different animes.
Right now I am eagerly awaiting the next SAO, and Irregular at Magic High episodes.

I've heard of it, but never watched (I can't even remember Sailor Moon :-\ ), but if it's that good then maybe I should look into it. I agree with xponentialshift, though — SAO = yes. ;D

Yessssssss! Anime lovers! I'm not as involved in anime as I would like. I am very fascinated by the characters and stories.
Some of my favorites are:
Ghost Hunt
XXXHolic
Sgt frog
Wolf & Spice
Fruits Basket
And many more that I can't remember the names of.

I watched it earlier this year I think. I loved the end theme song :). I haven't seen the movies tho. I had stopped watching anime for a while but I've been slowly getting back into it this year.

I loved the main anime series, but that OVA that was released after it was just... odd. Still, worth the watch.

Anime that good don't come around too often. It's based on Goethe's Faust. Nietzsche considered Goethe the closest person to his archetype of the overman, because of his character Faust, and Homura is Faust in the series, ergo Homura is the Übermensch. Madoka is Gretchen, whom becomes the eternal feminine.

Utena is my favorite one of all time though, clearly based on Christianity. Utena is Jesus, Akio Ohtori literally means, "the morning star", i.e. Lucifer. And "Dios" is Spanish for "God". Anthy is clearly the holy spirit, through which one has access to God.
