The Internet is Loving Madoka Magica's New Anime

By Nick Valdez

Puella Magi Madoka Magica is still one of the biggest anime hits ever produced by Studio SHAFT, and it's with very good reason that the franchise has continued its strong hold on fans years after the original anime run came to an end. But the franchise has kept going strong with smaller side projects and spin-offs, and one of the more successful has debuted its own anime adaptation as part of the Winter 2020 anime season. With a few episodes under its belt, Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story has been just as big of a hit as expected.

Unlike the original anime series that took its time to dive into its deeper and darker elements, the mobile game based anime has the benefit of following in the footsteps of an already established framework. That means that even though we're only three episodes into Magia Record, it's begun to explore much of the various philosophical quandaries the original anime became known for.

But what are fans saying about the new Madoka Magica anime series? How does it stack up to the original? Read on to see what the general consensus is thus far, and Let us know your thoughts in the comments or talk to me directly about all things anime and other cool things @Valdezology on Twitter!
