Will there be anything like this ever again?

your iq is just too low to appreciate anime beyond the basic plot

To be fair Eva is just another mediocre motw show for most of its run.

This. Even Sailor Moon can get fucking gruelling, especially during the final arc. But Madoka is the best I've seen it done.

“I wannna be a magical girl and have my wish granted”
“Don’t become a magical girl madoka! I can’t say for stupid reasons!”
“I don’t know, should I become a magical girl?”

That’s the whole show

There won't be so long as you retards continue putting it on an unreachable pedestal and then unjustifiably compare to every original anime that airs.

No, Madoka is one of a kind, honestly. More or less a perfect anime that works consistently at the acme of its powers and it doesn't need to be repeated. Attempts to do so (e.g. Daybreak Illusion) will never live up to it.

But at least Eva was interesting with its fights and how it affects the characters. Madoka felt like “filler: the show”, Madoka barely had any thoughts that were human and I hated every time it devoted any time to the violin chick. It felt boring from a commercial and artistic sense and I had already finished watching lain.

Massively overrated hits with extremely autistic fanbases have been fairly consistent both before and after Madoka became known for it.

user...
all the "Madoka best anime eva" meme is entirely IRONIC.
NO ONE in their right mind (except people who are new to anime) unironically considers Madoka a masterpiece.
Madofaggotry is the Yas Forums equivalent of Flat-Earthism on /sci/: NO ONE actually believes it, they just pretend to be into it for the epic lulz.

I thought Symphogear was pretty good and filled the void

you're not fooling anyone dude

probably, I'm sure there are a couple genres left that some pretentious fuckwad thinks needs a "deconstruction."

Isekai?

Now and Then, Here and There was 20 years ago, dude.

Re:Zero

Not even top 5 on its own year, Kanata no Astra was much more of a classic.

lol what

WTF ?

not acclaimed enough
I can't get off to being a contrarian about it

>not acclaimed enough
Do you live under a rock? Re:Zero is massively popular in both Japan and the West.

yeah but no one says it has any artistic value

I like magia record even more

It's not among the popular opinion, but it's clear that the author was trying to go for it.

Better? Sure
More of a classic? Nope

It's not a 'deconstruction'. Madoka affirms the hopeful values of mahou shoujo rather than undermining them. It just takes a more mature view of human desires and dreams, and the inevitability of suffering.

No, it's a one of a kind classic.

Trying hard isn't pretension. Fucking zoomers and their hiding behind seven masks of irony.
Madoka was born out of a handful of colleagues at a studio wanting to really swing for the fences on their first original anime. After years and years of only making adaptations. It was a really unique situation combining both industry experience and naivety. That's what make it special.

are you serious or just shitposting?

Discount Nanoha.

exactly, the series never explores anything interesting along in the magical girl series

Madoka Magica is a time flop. It sold well, but its fanbase is dead, and people don't even remember it anymore. It was generic, melodramatic, and boring. It was a corporate project (it was also shilled by its producer Aniplex) that represented how you can play it safe to make sure your show sells.

There are shows (such as Evangelion, Violet Evergarden, etc.) that can be considered timeless successes because not only were they successful, but they still have a sizable fanbase, and people still remember them as one of the masterpieces of anime. Madoka has none of these things.

People reference the number of threads it gets (which only started picking up in number after I called them out on their shilling), but that doesn't mean it's not a time flop. It's a very small number of people being paid to artificially create an impression that the show still has a fanbase after it finished airing. Just look at the Unique Posters to Posts ratio in every thread. It will be wildly unbalanced, especially in comparison to shows with an actual legacy (Evangelion, VEG, etc) which have a far more balanced ratio while also having a greater volume of posts.
Not to mention the threads are /c/ tier dump shitposting and some OPs are made by blatant Aniplex employees such as this one , which unironically admits to Madoka being a soulless corporate product. Any negative opinion or fact about the show will be met with confused mumbling from the few that still defend this gacha. Not even the people being paid to keep threads up care about defending it and it has gotten so bad that OPs are complaining about how dead the threads are , it's that soulless.

The bottom line is that Madoka has no cultural legacy whatsoever, even in comparison to other Shaft shows like Monogatari and SZS, and is sustained entirely by dishonest support.

Madoka anime is what they call a black swan event, an extreme rare case which luck played a great role in, we can only hope for another extreme lucky case within the next 20 years while I am still breathing.

You are literally unable to read.

Its franchise and Eva's have gone full retard and Lain can't get a sequel (or else it will suck like Rebellion did). Literally all you can hope for is a new Haruhi season or simply another franchise that ends up becoming a masterpiece.

at least the characters there aren´t thaat flat

holy based

Newfag

i wish people would stop jerking off the same 4 shows

I wish there was more like them.

Take your head out of your ass then.

well Gaim is just Madoka but with Riders instead of magical girls

Just because I recognize masterpieces for what they are doesn't means I can't enjoy dumb shows as well. I'm just being objective, I don't even use enjoyment as a factor when judging anime.

congrats you're a pleb

I wish it didn't come with crippling depression

But that's what made it so good. I actually wished it was 26 episodes to flesh out some characters more

not enough powerups and explosions

No, no other anime will ever spawn such potent schizoposting and autistic fanbase

Symphogear? Naruto? One Piece? Darling in the Franxx? Code Geass? Kill La Kill? Attack on Titans? Violet Evergarden? Demon Slayer?

Yeah I too hope they'll get back to continuing after how the movie left off instead of all this gacha side story shit.
