Anonymous01/28/26, 14:20No.285633543Do I need to enjoy Magical Girl anime before to appreciate Madoka Magica?
I know nothing of the anime other than it being a big subversion of the genre, I don't know if it's a good show even without a Magical girl anime background.
But just in case it's actually good I do not want to get spoiled.

Madoka is not a magical girl. Is subversion trash for people that don't like the genre just like evangelion.

Madoka can be appreciated even if you are uneducated on Magical Girl shows. Just don’t be a faggot and comment on the genre if you don’t have experience with it and you’re fine.

Watch Maho Shoujo ni Akogarete first

Don't talk about the genre until you've watched more shows. Otherwise, watching Madoka without much background knowledge on the genre is fine. People call it a "deconstruction" when it really, really isn't. If anything, Rebellion is the deconstruction

No.
>I don't know if it's a good show even without a Magical girl anime background.
It is good if you think a little bit and understand what its trying to say, like eva.
>big subversion of the genre,
Not exactly, that would be Princess Tutu which is also really good

Close the thread right now and go watch it, this show is best enjoyed completely blind.

It's not even subversion of the genre. It's just your average series and pretty par for the course, if simple and bland.

Do you not realize how retarded it is to talk about something being a subversion and not having any other experience with what it's supposedly subverting? I don't think you need to be a fan of magical girl anime to enjoy Madoka (I think the vast majority of people who watch it are like you and really the only thing they know about the genre is knowing Sailor Moon exists) but it does help you put the series into perspective.

You probably did at least watch Sailor Moon?

No but you need to watch Kamen Rider Ryuki to understand Urobuchi's inspiration.

I can't believe it's yet another Precure season coming up. I watched only 20% of Idol Precure...

Enjoy? No.
Madoka is its own thing but you will get more enjoyment out of it if you recognize the usual tropes and how they play around with them.

Maho shojo outside of Madoka tends to be too girly and/or too gay for me. I’m satisfied with just Madoka. You can tell Madoka was made for men, and it doesn’t have any gay shit in it.

No, in fact the more you are exposed to magical girls, the more you will find Madoka to be huffing its own farts.

It’s a bad magical girl show but a good emotional one.

Other magical girl anime are just too boring
>dude le ebin sol episodes lmao
>dude it gets good at episode 154
Madoka is a subversion because made the genre watchable for people above 8.

Watching a classic would help you to understand why Madoka wants to be a magical girl and what that symbolizes to her, but it's not absolutely necessary to appreciate the story.
