Gore and rape is one thing, but
Madoka Magica is
made of
Deranged Animation. Just about every scene in the supernatural world made me dizzy. Yeah, that show has some of the most psychedelic imagery imaginable since
Yellow Submarine or
Raggedy Ann and Andy.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if those ketamine fiends at Shaft were influenced by the Greedy scene with Charlotte. Raggedy Ann was produced by the very artsy animator Richard Williams, and we all they seem to take the artsy possibilities of animation very seriously at Shaft.
