Top Ten Reasons to Love Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Madoka Magica is a very good anime and pretty much became one of the best animes from Winter 2011. In fact, one of the best magic animes (in my opinion). It sounds like a stereotypical girly mahou shoujo and you might first think "This is going to be girly like Precure...Can't believe why even boys like this" especially due to the cute and bright designs. However, once you reached episode 3, you might be taken on a ride. But don't forget to have a box of tissues with you from episode 10 to 12. However, please remember, the list, especially the comments may contain spoilers because despite this show being an older one, some of you may haven't seen It/haven't entered the dark side. You have been warned! Other than that, let's embrace and remember how did we enjoyed It.
The Top Ten
1 Has amazing soundtracks

Connect, Sis Puella Magica, Mata Ashita, Magia, Colorful, And I'm home, Hikari Furu, Kimi no gin no niwa (Your silver garden), Misterioso, Decretum, Credens Justitiam, Shall I continue?

I can't choose one as my favourite, I love all of them!

Okay now I've watched all 12 episodes

I love the theme song the best.

2 It's not only about friendship or love

Madoka Magica isn't only about friends or romance. We also saw despair, hope, insanity, depression, trauma, frustration, etc

Yes,it's indeed a good anime. Moreover,this anime is not one of those typical magical girls anime,it's so much deeper and you can say it's even darker.

It's about sacrifice and giving up things to see your loved ones happy.

3 All the characters are cooperative
4 Almost all of their wishes are for others
5 It has cool weapons

None of them used elemental powers to fight witches

6 Features a dark magical girl

Actually Sailor Moon has a few dark magical girls including:Sailor Saturn(and her dark form),
Sailor Galaxia and even Sailor Chibi Moon's dark form Black lady.
Plus the Madoka philosophy of endless suffering was used alwost 20 years ago in the Sailor Moon manga so stop bashing on other magical girl shows if you clearly haven't seen them.And the death of Mami Tomoe is a reference to the death of Sailor Mars!

Bet Sailor Moon can't beat that! I loved Homura! She's my favorite Puella Magi Madoka Magica character! I also loved Madoka, Sayaka, Kyoko, and Mami as well! By the way, nice list, MLPFan.

I might be reading the manga of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica on the Internet.-Vestalis

I've never seen this show, but now I think it will be awesome.

7 It makes you wanna give the characters a hug
8 Sayaka's realistic personality and struggles

She's my favourite character! Her suffering was realistic. She played out the usual "sidekick always suffers" thing, But still. Sayaka is irreplaceable. She showed the dark side of the magical girl world

This is probably the most realistic anime character in general

She suffered so much, I felt so sad to see her in such a state.

9 It shows the relationship between the characters
10 It's overly gory
The Contenders
11 The main character has more magical capabilities than the other magical girls
12 The show's plot twists make the story interesting
13 It has likeable main characters

They might be harsh at times, But their usually likeable and kind

14 It's so much darker than you first expect

true, at first I thought only Homura was the worst one, but after that I realised Mami was the only one who made a wish for herself and Kyoko is bad on the outside and good on the inside!
~Kyoko Sakura

15 It has ugly animation and art style
16 The parody series by fans are funny

I found this very funny...
Kyuubey:Meduka!
Madoka:What is it, Coobie?
Kyuubey:Become meguca!
Homura:No Meduka
Sayaka:I become meguca for Kyuskiko
Kyoko:Won't let you
Kyousuke:Why?
Hitomi:I become Meguca?
Kyuubey:No
Madoka:What I wish for?
Mami:Please
Homura:No Meduka, No
Sayaka:Don't listen to Hameru
Sayaka&Hitomi:We're yo friends, Meduka!
Madoka:What I do?
Sayaka:I protect Meduka and Kyuskiko
Kyousuke:Thank you, Seyiku
Madoka:But
Sayaka:It okay
Madoka:Mumi why?
Also, there's also another Meduka Meguca by Mahoutrope named Meduka Meguca the animation. But It only has 4 episodes(episode 1 was taken off of YouTube)

17 The movies are great

Rebellion was awesome! You guys should see it!

18 Madoka and Homura's friendship

I never expected that out of all the girls Madoka met, Homura would actually be the one closest to her. I mean, wow! Her tragic backstory of how she was initially weak and kept going back in time in order to be the one to protect her friend Madoka was such an engaging plot twist!

19 The villains are worth fighting

Most witches are very powerful and constantly beats,stabs, and even decapitates the magical girls

20 Shows Kyoko Sakura's past struggle when her dad killed her whole family
21 Kyubey's intriguing character

Love him or despise him (most likely the latter), but I just find myself so intrigued with QB's character. This cute little creature who sacrifices magical girls to help keep his race alive. Sounds like a cute character straight out of a Disney film, don't you think? Not to mention, the fact that he keeps the exact same face throughout the entire series. Why is he like that? Is he forced to be like that, as well as being forced to sacrifice innocent little girls? Maybe he's trying to hide his regret because he doesn't want to disappoint his race. It's like the Moon from Majora's Mask in a way, you just can't decide whether you should run away in fear, destroy it with your bare hands, or just feel sorry about it. So say what you will about QB as a whole, this cute interpretation of the Lord of Darkness himself is easily one of my favorite aspects of my favorite anime series ever.

22 It single-handedly overshadowed Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha in the West.
23 Friends of the protagonist are completely oblivious towards magic
24 Sayaka and Kyoko has a rocky relationship
25 The transformation scene was nice, especially Kyoko and Sayaka's
