Which is just my long-winded and self-important way of explaining that I gave it a 10 because i can recommend it without any reservation, even if there was stuff that I could gripe about.
That's a good argument, I have to admit.

I like to approach anime ranks from a "literary critique" perspective (only broadening it to account for the importance of visuals and audio, of course), but a "consumer review" is just as valid a way of approaching it, I have to admit.

And yeah, I will say that from a "consumer review" perspective, Madoka deserves whatever the top grade is.
