IIRC.. Some of the original novel fans didn't like his experimental art show interpretation of the show
in laymen terms, it was too stylized for them. It's not that I don't understand.. can you imagine Madoka done in Bakemonogatari style? yeah.. would be weird Keep in mind that original novel fans will always complain about an adaptation, though. SHAFT also annoyed some people with the delay of the last episodes..

I've never heard of Urobuchi being despised, he has overwhelming amount fans, due to his deep insight on otaku industry. Shinbo and Shaft however, gets polar opposite views all the time since they united.

I haven't seen the ending (I'm avoiding the episode discussion thread like the plague... waiting for the batch) but this might not necessarily be true. After all, Madoka has always been on the top of the charts. I'm sure quite a few people were going to order it even if the ending sucked. Quote:

I have to say my interest in the magical girl genre has been reignited thanks to this show. I might finally get around to watching Nanoha or Princess Tutu (if that counts) now.
I'm really interested in hearing the opinion of someone who is well versed in magical girl anime or a well know critic on how Madoka stands . I don't just want to passively enjoy the show, I want to understand whether or not it works as a story and why. |

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is wildly different--it's not a deconstruction at all. It's a genre-blender, taking some of the more aesthetic and obvious trappings of the magical-girl genre and playing them more like a Super Robot series. This works surprisingly well.

Small perhaps, but considerably a significant rating.

Say anything you like but it was Princess Tutu that initially deconstructed the genre. Madoka simply had a lot more hype about it. And seriously, as much as it claims to deconstruct the Sailor Moon formula, it is still the exact same story as there. Thus in a way, Tutu is even MORE revolutionary. But ok, I do place it in my top 5 mahou shojo of all times. Here it is.
1) Princess Tutu 2) Sailor Moon 3) Madoka 4) Nanoha 5) CC Sakura And in case you wonder why I consider Sailor Moon better, it is because I like my shows to last a few episodes more to get to know the characters and not to constantly trying to shock me with deaths and ressurections. I got Dragonball Z for that. |

There dark as in, "oh my god, my enemies are really out to kill me, this is serious!" and then there's Madoka's "oh my god, the seemingly cute creature that granted me these powers is my real enemy and I'm doomed to become the very monsters I've been fighting." I don't think that's been done before.

Take a look at this:
