Hot Series in Japan: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica5

Enjoyed series of this season? I hope you did. Haven’t watched or cannot decide which to follow? Check out our January 2011 New Series and Recommended Anime January 2011 posts for more. Have recently noticed several nice series that definitely worth watching, but guess most of you might have already found what you are interested in. However, as the poll done in Japan reveals, what we have here is quite different. Guess it could be something about the geography, or simply the interests.

It also reminds me what our reader eizeral put it in his/her comment weeks ago. What we have in our Poll is more or less different from what actually happened in Japan. If I need to investigate the reason, it could be pure simple. The Poll we have on the site online even before January. It’s an aggregate poll containing both what series you want to watch before and after you actually watch the series. Guess we could use separate polls for better clarification. But anyway, what’s your favorite series in this Winter? Tell us!

I couldn't really tell someone why I kept watching Madoka (for example Level E seems to be really popular even though I didn't make it through the first episode,) but I'm definitely glad I did. I'm impressed that it actually has a story of enough depth that there hasn't been a beach episode or the school festival episode. I think it deserves it's ranking on this list.

@duqs @amado: Indeed, I do know this is going to be a new big hit but still let it go off my list. Guess just feels the story is far from me. Never mind, planning to start follow it and will see. PS. heard of many bloody battles in the series.

well its definitely the most interesting and very different from the usual stuff. it will change the way you look at magical girls and is far unique than what we currently have this season. it doesnt even have the moe and fanservice that most magical girls have.

Madoka Magica is a recommended series to watch for all the good reasons. It breaks away from the stereotypical mahou shoujo series in a huge way like how soccer became a sport that utilized your hands instead of your feet. Some might hate it, others might love it, but we all know that this series is one of the most watched series this season. Morning rescue ads made my day too =D
