Besides a scene here and there, I contemplated turning it of numerous times. This movie lacked many of the qualities that kept me watching the original series, and overall left a sour taste in my mouth. If you are content with giving up on the touching experience from the first two movies, feel free to ride a less emotional, confusing, and character altering experience. The movie seemed choppy and I struggled to connect in the same way as I did with the original series. The beginning had many aspects I enjoyed from the original series, but as the movie progressed I could sense it struggling to keep the balance of its characters, and flowing as the first two movies did. This movie in my opinion was a huge letdown. Knowing the first two movies were a review of the show, I was intrigued to see what the third movie would have to offer, given the ending from the original series/duo-logy was one of the most powerful of any show I had ever seen. The show had amazing animation, great soundtracks, action, emotion, and a great amount of character development.

Madoka Magica was, and still is, one of my favorite Anime series.
