Watched Madoka Magica Magia Record (season 1). After reading the bad reviews, I've been putting this anime off for a long time. But as turns out it's not that bad as people usually say.
Sure, some characters feel a bit like dummies... The plot sometimes resembles some disconnected stories... But still, Madoka's surreal atmosphere is still very strong here. Personally, I liked Kaede Akino's story with her tsundere friend. Did someone else watch it?

I did watch, but dropped it. It was a bore and not too coherent.
Yes, when it first aired, so I may be fuzzy on details.
It isn't a bad show, but it isn't quite up to the standards of the original, either, which I would bet on being one of the major reasons it gets dumped on. It does recapture some of the atmosphere, but Madoka Magica was pretty tightly written, while I found that Magia Record dragged a bit. Two cours for maybe a cours and a half worth of story.
Holding the last four episodes back for months after the rest of it had aired didn't do it any favours either. I remember being somewhat lost when it resumed.
