It's a new week, which means a new general discussion thread. As the summer season is under way in earnest this week, here is your chance to talk about anything you want anime-related, even if it has nothing to do with the new shows. I have mostly been on vacation this past week, so I am going to live somewhat vicariously through your comments.

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

Just completed Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

It's one of those shows that I've always heard rave reviews about, but never bothered to watch because the synopsis did not interest me.

But once I watch shows like these, I'd wish I have watched it earlier.

100gf Mai so good

Madoka series + Rebellion movie

The game-like, checkpoint style of time rewind in the Madoka series reminds me of Edge of Tomorrow and Re:Zero. However, it actually came out before them, and executed the concept so well too!

The story-telling is superb, and soundtracks are amazing. But the best parts are the plot twists.

It is so good, it is now part of my all-time favourites. 10 / 10

Incidentally, Magical Girls is now my top-rated genre, at a 100% on my AniList profile. Granted, it is due to selection bias plus a small sample size, comprising just Madoka, The Demon Girl Next Door and Gushing over Magical Girls. I found it interesting as I certainly did not expect it. Perhaps I should watch a few more Magical Girls shows...
