2 full OSTs for a 12-episode show. This fact alone should say enough.

Ah yes I forgot to mention that part, when Homura lost hope and finally gave in to despair, the music sent numbing chills throughout my body. Seeing Homura, a character who I empathized with and grew to care about, totally give up on everything made me bawl almost uncontrollably. For a second there, I almost thought we were going to lose her
Luckily, Madoka intervened before she gave up completely
