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.

The Magical Girl genre is pretty old and was made popular by Salor Moon in both Japan and America.
Madoka Magica takes that genre and twists and darkens it into something truly impressive. Not only does this anime have great and unique animation, it has a story with sadness and death.
Imagine a world where Magical Girls die fighting, and even fight and kill each other for territory. That is the world of Madoka Magica.
Each episode of this anime makes me want to watch more and more. The story continuously keeps you interested and on your toes as you watch the main characters struggle to accept the life of being a Magical Girl in their dark reality.
