Should I watch Puella Magi Madoka Magica?

I think I Опубликовано a similar Вопрос in this spot some time ago, the Ответы I got were kinda like the ones you're getting. I tried to watch this Аниме but I gave up after watching the third episode.
Maybe it's just because I'm not extremely fond of the magical girl genre either, plus my general dissatisfaction with new anime. The thing that most bothers me though, is the whole "original" dark theme in a cute розовый package concept. It wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't for the fact that this is already spoilt in the first или секунда episode. Even though Ты haven't watched this Аниме yet, everyone knows it's that one Аниме with a totally unexpected dark theme. What's so unexpected about that if everyone knows it already? I think the way this Аниме was promoted just spoilt everything.
That aside, from what i have seen, the characters are also incredibly bland and don't even get me started on the generic violin pop opening XD.
If Ты want an Аниме with almost the same magical girl meets dark theme concept, I suggest Princess Tutu. While it may be a lot lighter (especially in the beginning), it has a better, еще gradual approach to this theme.
I'm sorry for ranting, but this was something I wanted to say for a while now. I may be completely wrong about the whole thing because I haven't watched everything. I'm also sorry to people who like this anime, I don't mean to offend anyone.

I would definitely give it a try. I honestly dislike the magical girl genre as well, but as long as Ты can put up with the cutesy stuff in the first two episodes, it's such a sad and meaningful series.

Personally I didn't like the series, I also don't like magical girl, but I'd still say Ты might wanna give the series a shot. It's only 12 episodes so if Ты wanna try it out by just watching the first ep. especially considering it's popularity it might pay off just to watch the first ep. and learn the characters names (they're pretty much all introduced in the first episode) it's "dark" magical girl anime, so maybe Ты like it? Ты can watch it free and legally on crunchyroll

well, i didn´t wanted to watch it in the start because it looked like a really girly and magical anime..but i find out it was really dark and amazing.
the first episodes is pretty girly fluffy..i mean magical girls!
but is an really good Аниме and i really think Ты should give it a try^ ^

I Любовь it. It's one of my favorites.

I liked it a lot, especially considering that I usually strongly dislike shows with a mostly female cast. Ты should try watching it! C:

I really enjoyed it myself; I enjoy creepy-cute things so it was right up my alley.

It's very heavy in not essentially just 'fight scenes', but it tries to explain why things happen in the magical girl genre. I liked how it explored the 'why' and 'how' rather than throw fight scenes at me. It's really, really cool!!

YES.
