Yeah, Madoka may have kickstarted the trend of dark and edgy magical girls, but they really missed the point that Madoka is still ultimately a show about hope and not just being edgy for the sake of being edgy.

Again, it's not even that it invented the trend, those themes have always been part of the genre. It was just the one that both stuck and brought them to the forefront.

It's a tragic show, not a miserable one. None of the deaths or events are downplayed or treated with disdain; just unfortunate conclusions to bad decisions.

I lost my credit card and had to freeze my bank account. So no new payments until possibly friday or next week.
