Finished watching
Puella magi madoka magica.
My person is feeling deeply offended: am i some fucking genius or this anime is simply aimed to a public made of middle school girls?
The whole show was... too much predictable:
Spoiler for spoiler about the whole plot:
1) Kyoubei looked suspicious from the very few seconds, just like a devil proposing his contracts around. It was easy to see him as the villain from the start. Not surprised that Homura was hunting his ass from the beginning. Indeed he turned out to be the bad guy.
2) It was too much easy to predict that Homura came from the future: she seemed to know madoka, and she warned her more than once to avoid getting involved with kyoubei, or to become a magical girl; why would she want that? Because probably, in the future, if madoka becomes a magical girl, it will turn out bad, and since Homura cares about her, she'll try to save her. How does Homura know that? She surely comes from the future and got back to change the past. Easy deduction.
3) Sayaka looked very weak minded from the first episodes, and it was easy to predict that she would end up in a bad way; indeed her soul was corrupted and she turned into a witch... and died. She died in the end anyways lol.
4) Episode 10 just confirmed anything i had made up till that moment.
5) Just because there were 12 episodes, and episode 11 was showing the battle between Homura and the last boss, it was easy to understand that she would have lost and that madoka would have turned into a magical girl anyways and make some lame wish.
Now, it could also be that since i'm much in the time travelling stuff, i tend to know the personality of somoene who comes from the future (badass attitude, powerful aura, cold, and always aware of what's going on), but beside that, the rest was predictable anyways. I wasn't impressed at all. I wonder why this thing got rated higher than Steins;Gate. It just makes no sense to me, unless the public that rated it is mainly made of middle school girls. If that's the case, i have nothing to blame.
It could also simply be that i never experienced this kind of genre, and do not know what is its goal, and therefore i can't really judge it. However, beside the plot that was easily predictable, i didn't like much the artwork because all the characters looked little and stuffed, and while i could have liked those parallel dimensions with a background reminding me of Dalì's works, in the end i found them wasted for this anime.
Anyways:
The only thing that surprised me was:
I won't bother rating it because i just didn't like it. I am already missing Arakawa and its freaks under the bridge. That was the show with the kind of humor closest to mine, meaning a rational guy with a huge amount of good sense thrown in a mass of freaks with no good sense at all.
PS: Kyoubei doesn't know shit about thermodinamics: energy doesn't fucking decrease, it's constant, while entropy keeps increasing. Know your place, you little... whatever you are.
Tomorrow i'll start
Denpa onna. PMMM wasn't up to my expectations. It looks like tastes really play a huge role in this. I thought i could have appreciated this work, no matter what my tastes were. Oh well, it was my own choice, noone to blame :P
EDIT
Getting back to Arakawa, i loved the VA of Kou and forgot to say that i naturally loved the VA of Okabe in S;G. That played a huge role in the anime.
