Recommend Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Español
El subgénero de chicas mágicas es uno aún muy desconocido para mí; mis únicas referencias son tal vez el anime de Sailor Moon y el de Sakura (y ni siquiera los he visto completos), además del anime a quien se le atribuye esta publicación. Para hablar de ella solo tocaré su primera temporada y nada más; debo resaltar que esta, al igual que mis publicaciones anteriores, es solo una recomendación del anime como una buena obra para disfrutar.

The subgenre of magical girls is one still very unknown to me; my only references are perhaps the anime of Sailor Moon and Sakura (and I have not even seen them complete), in addition to the anime to whom this publication is attributed. To talk about it I will only touch on its first season and nothing else; I must emphasize that this, like my previous publications, is only a recommendation of the anime as a good work to enjoy.
Otro punto a destacar es la forma en la que está diseñada la serie, su peculiar estilo de dibujo acerca a los personajes a un tono más infantil; no obstante toda la trama te recuerda lo contrario, después de todo, no por nada es un seinen. Además, el anime en general se divide entre ambientaciones diurnas y nocturnas; ninguna de las dos es lo suficientemente colorida para transmitir un tono totalmente alegre o sombrío.
Las brujas como enemigos también son algo muy interesante; las primeras veces que aparecen mantienen una estética de collages tétricos. Algunas otras tienen un diseño más surrealista, pero en general mantienen una estética de pesadilla. Sumándole los coloridos diseños de las protagonistas (que tienen la mayoría), se crea un interesante contraste entre lo tétrico y adorable.
Other characters are added to the story, each with something to tell about their lives, such as Madoka's best friend. As we see more about these characters, the anime progresses showing the desperation of each of the girls for not being able to achieve a satisfactory future, so to speak. In the end it all concludes with a perfect twelve chapters, which despite being a short season, takes its time to explore each character (the truth is that they are few, so it does well).
Another point to highlight is the way the series is designed, its peculiar drawing style brings the characters closer to a more childish tone; however the whole plot reminds you of the opposite, after all, not for nothing is it a seinen. Also, the anime in general is divided between daytime and nighttime settings; neither of the two is colorful enough to convey a totally cheerful or somber tone.
Witches as enemies are also an interesting thing; the first few times they appear they maintain an aesthetic of gloomy collages. Some others have a more surreal design, but overall they maintain a nightmarish aesthetic. Add to that the colorful designs of the protagonists (which most of them have), and it creates an interesting contrast between the creepy and the adorable.
El anime tendrá momentos en los que vas a querer ver más, y saber cómo termina la historia. También tiene un plot twist muy épico que hará que ver como se construía todo lentamente haya valido la pena. No tengo más que decir, si llegas a verla la serie sé que te va a gustar.
The anime will have moments where you're going to want to see more, and find out how the story ends. It also has a very epic plot twist that will make watching it all slowly build up worth it. I have nothing more to say, if you get to see the series I know you're going to like it.
