the source material

/thread.
Gacha adaptations are tainted by original sin.

Bad character design too.

Only character design that really feels madoka to me is the purple, red, and blue girls, but even then they look like discount Kyoko, Sayaka and purple looks more like Reg from MiA then an actual character from Madoka.

Nothing went wrong. The game is amazing.

The character design is great.

No butcher.

everything

The source material and designs were shit but vintage Shaft could have salvaged it. RIP

these three and also gekidan inu curry are amateur directors.

Fuck butcher for doing puppets.

Who cares about Butcher? We'll make Madoka without him.

Nothing went wrong.

I thought it was amazing.

nothing? SS2 already in the making

They targeted an audience that specifically does not want good anime.
They took out all of the passion, all of the originality, all of the talent, all of the stakes, and only kept the gacha-friendly cute girl designs.

?

nigga what?
I really enjoyed this show, especially the last 3 episodes, especially with mami loding her head again, and sayaka going absolutely metal with her regen powers.
But having 1/3 of the show being a fine introduction
1/3 being a boring character introductions that dont explore characters to the same extent
and the last 1/3 actually being fucking kino(Holy mami, Sayaka regen), does not make a good show.
Inu Curry visuals carried this show.
Alina should have been in it more.
Still hype for the second season

Don't know why you fags try to reason with /vg/ shills
You'll have an easier time reasoning with toubunkeks and shounenshitters

I play the game, but I believe it never should've been made into an anime. It's a gacha story. You skip it 90% of the time because it drags

Everything.

Magia REcord

explain this meme

It's just a gacha cash-in with none of the essential Madoka people from the Magica Quartet and only Gekidan Inu Curry to make it look or feel like it's related to PMMM. It's no more 'Madoka' than the dozens of Madoka imitators we've had for the past ten years but it says something that even the franchise itself has resorted to this, and that we coming going back to it.

Basically, it didn't really go 'wrong' unless that's meant conceptually. It's like if Daybreak Illusion happened to look like Madoka. This project was always wrong insofar as it isn't Madoka and isn't even really trying to be. So-so anime like Magia Record are a dime-a-dozen; it would've been far worse for the Magica Quartet to reunite only to turn out something below par.

*keep coming back

The whole doppler thing is such a retarded gamey piece of shit.
Even the designs are god awful.

I mean look at the blue girl, it looks so embarassing. How mentally ill do you need to be to think that's acceptable?

Magia Record is good anime. The story makes for good anime.

Sounds like you can't enjoy the bants.

Nothing at all.

Ume designed the characters, SHAFT is animating. It's as Madokas as they come.

Boring ass dykes

My mistake: Ume was involved in the character design for the game. However, she was not involved in the anime's character design. Shinbo had more involvement in the anime, but not in any serious creative capacity.

SHAFT animating doesn't really mean a thing if the studio hasn't assembled the same creative talent. With no Magica Quartet, no Kajiura, and only the license to make an anime that looks like Madoka, it's still effectively a Madoka imitation.

Yachiyo's Doppel is supposed to look fucked up and uncomfortable. It's "tail" is literally growing out of her leg.

It's madoka, it was bound to be shit

Does it still follow the source material?

No justification is enough for retarded, ugly and just uncool design.

Witches are also designed to be creepy and bizzare, and yet for the most part they look cool.

Why does Madoka have the most boring doppel? I can't tell if it's the mountain or the planet sized witch she was supposed to turn into.

Madoka in Magireco isn't at the level of her Witch being a planetary-level threat yet.
Her Doppel is based on art of her Witch's interior that was shown in the art gallery of the PSP game

this

Is this supposed to be what is inside Gretchen?

Yes, it's the center of Gretchen's interior and speculated to be the true form of the Witch

Narratively it was a mess that might have worked better in a game since most RPGs give a lot of exposition, side stories, and opportunities to interact with mechanics that would not fly as an actual anime.

But by adapting what I'm assuming are set up for dungeons every 2 episodes the story never felt like it had any focus.

In a single episode we get introduced not only to Iroha but a bunch of magical girls that won't affect the rest of the plot other than talking about the misteries: How does that city save magical girls? Why is this city so infested with witches? What are Uwasa? Where is Iroha's sister? Who is this tiny kyuubey?

At the end of the season we only get one and a half answer after a lot of fluff and weak characterization.

Also the cameos from the original Madoka cast feels like cheap meaningless fanservice instead of an opportunity to explore these characters in this scenario.

It was not that the source material was bad, it was that the script and series planning was terrible.

Way too many characters and a complete lack of focus.

Lads I dropped this at episode 10, did I pick the worst possible time to do it? Should I watch the last 3 eps in quarantine?

Yes, especially if you ship Iroha with Yachiyo.

This series was plain disgusting by the fact that there were people that eat it up, I mean, seen shit on the toilet? Well arlgiht, see people grab it and eat it? Nope.

no, the last three episodes are just exposition about the nature of the magical girls that you know already from Madoka, and then Mami gets brainwashed and fights Sayaka just to have a climax with no relevance to the plot. It's really unengaging.

>It was not that the source material was bad
It is bad though.

The original had a thrilling setup that immediately introduced a mysterious anti villain, who hinted to know more about Kyubey, that kept you watching; thence it shook the viewer by killing a character that was touted as a main character in promotional material in the third episode, and came with dramatic reveal after dramatic reveal.

Magia Record had no real interesting mystery, no interesting characters, and no interesting reveals.

There is nothing to explain, it is just a form of dumping.

Magia Record was perfect.
Is was such cheap fanservice with bland unappealing characters, that there can't be any debate that it is just that:
A cheap money grab.

No one in their right mind will ever put it in the same category as the original material.
Hallelujah!
If the original was literally the gospel truth.
This is just like a cheap family Christmas movie - I can live with that!

Nothing. Aniplex made money on the blurays and the gacha. The series itself was average and it gets hated on more than it deserves.

No, Magi Reco was objectively worst than Darling in the FranX, if Darling in the FranX is the worst anime ever then Magi Reco deserve every bit of hate.
