I would've given this a 1/5 if it weren't for the casts. Avoid this movie at all costs. Spent an hour creating suspense, then it all fell apart. Somehow the characters have absolutely zero growth, except for Amanda, periodically, I guess. Then there's the daughter who is absolutely fixated on the ending of Friends for no reason, annoying as hell. And they had to put something about race. AND OF COURSE it's always the "whites can't be trusted" lines which was totally unnecessarily and only made me really uncomfortable.

After watching this movie, I broke into a warehouse and launched a nuclear bomb and killed all the beans. 10/10 would recommend this if you want to beat up some coffee beans.

It was one of the first animes I've watched back in 2012. Sure, I've watched Naruto, Sailor Moon, and other kinds of anime, but Madoka Magica is very distinct from them. It takes the concept of magical girls, which are usually cutesy, adorable, kawaii, whatever you'd like to call -- then fuses in some psychological horror that completely shifted the tone from "magical girls annihilating witches and protecting their city!" to "magical girls who exchanged their life, eternally fighting witches, until they themselves transform into one". To me, that's what made this anime stand out. It looks innocently cute, but as the plot thickens, you realize that it's dark, horrifying, and intense. I would definitely recommend this anime. It's a new experience.
