毫無疑問，MADOKA★MAGICA是我見過最特別的動漫之一。

用［魔法少女］這樣誤導人的惡劣取名，騙你以為是一般的戰鬥歡樂動漫進來後，在你毫無防備時突然亮出真正的主題。(第三集…)

黑到不行的劇情，一反你原有的期待讓你欲哭無淚。整個下來全是一場騙局，只覺得心靈無比空虛，暗夜中手指冰冷的一看再看那震撼的一幕。

［希望］與［絕望］…真是只有一字之差。

［在祈求獲得希望的同時，妳會得到與之相應的絕望。只有付出等價的結果，才能讓世間的一切獲得均衡。］是我目前最深刻印象的一句，也說明了整部動漫代表的意義。

世上沒有免費的奇蹟。沒有付出，就算得到了也不會體會到所得的意義。

而人嘛，又有誰真正知道自己所想要的呢?

已經八集了，劇情也漸漸明朗。真不知道會是怎樣的結局。某方面很希望少女們會有好的結果，另一方面卻又覺得如果真的是悲劇收場…可能可以將那分絕望感推展到極致。

最後，獻上劇中可愛的QB的腹黑名言:

Without doubt, Madoka Magica is one of the most unique and spectacular anime I’ve seen.

It deviously includes the misleading name of “Magical Girl” in its title, luring you in with the promise of the happy and flashy battles of the genre. Then, when your guards are down, it springs the true theme upon you. (Ep. 3…)

A darker story there is not, it defies all your previous expectations leaving you gasping in tears. As it progresses you realize the whole thing is a lie, but by now it has ripped a whole in your chest and your soul empty. In the darkness with stone cold fingers you watch the traumatic scene again. And again.

“Hope” and “Despair” ….there really is only a line’s difference between.

“As you wish upon a hope, the same amount of despair shall befallen you. Only by paying an equal cost does the world keep its equilibrium.” This is the line that has really captivated me, as it so elegantly describes the theme of the show.

There is no such thing as a free miracle. Without sacrifice, you cannot come to appreciate what is gained even if it is fulfilled.

And being human… who really knows what one desires?

8 episodes so far, and the curtain is being lifted and the cards revealed. It is hard to imagine how things will end. In some ways I truly hopes that the girls will find a happy end, but on the other hand, a tragic end may push the meaning of despair to the pinnacle.
