This one will creep up on you but quick. The first thing I noticed about this anime was the stunning mix of graphics. The artwork is spectacular and groundbreaking! The story isn't as it first appears either, it has fangs and they sink deep into your flesh. I deem that this will surprise you, it will move you and it might even shock you. This anime gets very high praise from me. Do not miss it.
Plot Summary: After experiencing a bizarre dream, Madoka Kaname, a kind 14-year-old girl, encounters a magical creature named Kyube. Madoka and her friend Sayaka Miki are offered the opportunity of gaining magical powers if they agree to make a contract with the strange little being. He will also grant them one wish, but in exchange they shall risk their lives by accepting the responsibility of fighting witches. Invisible to human eyes, witches are catalysts of despair in the areas they inhabit. An ally of Kyube, a magical girl named Mami Tomoe, befriends and encourages the two girls to accept the contract. For an unknown reason, another magical girl named Homura Akemi is determined to prevent Madoka from accepting the deal.
