Well. That was a wild ride. If Symphogear made me feel new highs, then Madoka went the opposite direction and made me feel really depressed. At least the ending was bittersweet? Kind of?

The only real tragedy for me I got out of this experience was that Madoka retroactively kind of lessened my enjoyment of Kamen Rider Gaim. Like, don't get me wrong I still think it was an amazing show but now I can't help but wonder how much plot Urobuchi recycled from Madoka and toned down for kids.

If you want to keep the bittersweet feel of the ending, I suggest not watching the movie then heh. But then again there is another movie coming out, so maybe you should watch it.

Also, if you want to wash that, there's Magia Record. One could argue Magia Record is just another one of Homura's timelines, but from what I've seen, I kinda keep it as its own entity. Separate from the main show. The OG cast are a little too different.

Edit: do hope you won't fall the same pitfalls as I did. Not really an egregious one, but the size of the cast made it hard for me to recognize or remember anyone but the main two. Not even recognizing characters by color worked, since, for example, there are two other magical girls beyond Mami that are yellow.
