Review of Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part III: Rebellion (2013) by Enna — 06 Sep 2014

Madoka gets a big budget beef-up, which means the animation is much more fluid, and the art direction is mindbogglingly creative. Yuki Kajiura's soundtrack is also a marvel, by turns creepy and pulse-pounding.

All of this is squandered on a bad movie. Madoka Magica didn't need a sequel, so this is lacking any artistic inspiration and instead focuses on fan pandering, titillation, and an out-of-the-blue plot twist so that people will watch the sequel.

I love Madoka Magica, but this is downright disappointing.
