cannot unsee ....
i always tought i've seen that face somewhere...
Madoka is the best spent 12 episodes in the last 2 years ... maybe apart from Another or Btooom! in terms of enjoyment...

By the way has anyone seen Rahxephon?
I've heard it's like Evangelion but not 2deep4u
I do and i am a fan of it too. It is a decent product, as soon as you are not some hardcore EVA fan (which i am one, but i am just weird) that keep comparing the two of them while you are watching Rahxephon.
While for the 2deep4u part, honestly, Rahxephon is still pretty deep but it is deep in different aspects (compared to EVA). and that's why i praise it because its core is very distinguished from EVA, only people who didn't try to understand the actual plot in Rahxephon says it is like EVA.

monster
+ Show Spoiler +at ep 47, johann dressed like anna murdering everybody and Grimmer, also from kidnerheim 511 wow...
damn no where on the internet is posted how long has kinderheim 511 been around, or what was the age the children were there, Grimmer is 4 years older than Tenma. I have faith that the series won't dissapoint with any explication of events at all....

A lot of very talented people work really hard to produce terrible anime, but you don't sing their praises.

When I rewatched it years later, I realized how much I had missed. You might say it isn't deep, but I feel like all of Eva's depth is organic and comes from the characters' natural behavior or little things thrown in randomly, as you mentioned. It forces you to pay attention and rewards you for doing so. Other series often attempt to recreate this atmosphere, but can't, because when it's overly manufactured it comes off like teenage angst. Author's intent pretty important mang. Also, I told myself I'd watch the TV series before I finished my 300th entry on MAL, and since I just finished #294, I think I'm gonna get started soon. Yeah, watch it. You'll probably enjoy it since you always have that sad face emoticon. I was depressed as fuck when I watched it (first anime I watched, cause of the thread on TL and cause I was depressed) and it was great, kind of just depressed me more though lol. I got my shit sorted eventually though. What....oh. I haven't turned off this emoticon in forever.  At least you don't go :p whenever you see GRIMDARK... SUFFERING... like some people here do >.< Which anime do you consider to be grimdark? Can't think of a lot of them to be honest, but frankly I haven't watched that many anime to begin with. Jin-Roh the Wolf Brigade maybe, Shigofumi to an extent, Texhnolyze, Ergo Proxy...I want to say Lain but I don't think that's what I'd consider "grimdark." Darker than Black.
I see. I just feel people tend to miuse and overuse the word by calling dark shows grimdark (dark ≠ grimdark). Definitely wouldn't call Lain grimdark, I can see it for Texhnolyze or DtB though. Dunno about the others.

Really? It's a funny show and all, but I don't know why you would rate it that highly.

I liked Madoka, and watched it in a day with my friend when we should've been working on our term projects. Was really fun, but trippy as fuck. Still, a good series, and quite touching too.
I never watched Madoka and just assumed from the name and how it looked that it was going to be just another one of those magic girl type shows. Actually interested in it now.

I've barely watched any Mahou Shoujo, but at the very least, Nanoha and Madoka are worth watching.
Are there any other Mahou Shoujo shows which are similar to Nanoha (aka great action)?
I barely remember anything about Sailor Moon (I watched it as a kid, etc), I wonder if I should go for that when I'm done with all this mecha I've been piling up.

Nichibros is prolly the most legit recommendation you can get in ADT.

Madoka is what happens when older people who watch little girls shows go "boy I sure wish this show for little girls had people dying and shit because I'm incapable of enjoying something unless that happens and everything must be made for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" so someone went and did it.
The Madoka fanbase is fucking cancerous and if there was any show I could erase in the past decade it would be that. People who think Madoka is groundbreaking/revolutionary come into discussion threads for actual kids shows and spout off nonsense about how totally dark the show actually is guys really come on!
There is more fucked up shit in some of the actual 'magical girl' manga/anime targeted at younger audiences then in Madoka which makes it all the more hilarious.

He is, and he's right. Sailor Moon, aers' favorite series, has some really, really, really, really fucked up shit in it. I can think of two others that are almost as fucked up.

I still have to watch Uta Kata but it kinda scares me.
