14 year-old Madoka Kaname has a dream in which a dark haired girl is struggling against an evil force. As Madoka wakes up and goes to school that morning, the very same girl, Homura Akemi, enrolls in her class. Even stranger, Homura seems to know Madoka and later confronts her in the hallway about whether she cares for her friends or not, saying she should stay how she is or else she risks losing everything.
I come across this anime through a magazine and heard that it is really popular in japan. but i'm quite skeptical to watch since it is a magical girl show, you know with transformation and stuff. besides the animation is average since i've seen other anime with more beautiful design characters. but i watch it anyway and turn out it is true to it's hyped and definitely a unique anime that seriously deviate from typical storyline, that worth my watch.
one thing that i didn't quite like is the main lead madoka, because she's kinda in the way and is indecision along the earlier episodes. but at the end she definitely someone to be depend on:) this anime should be one the most popular list here ^^
