Remarks from the Future: This is the bar. This is the standard to which I hold all other anime I watch. This is the reason why I couldn't just do a normal review of it (along with just the simple desire to try something different).
10) This was the most external research that I had to do for a video. I knew all these facts already, but I had to find where I learned all of this to prove I wasn't making this up.
9) I don't have anything to add beyond I still haven't seen an anime with such a neat and crazy artstyle since this one.
8) I wonder how many people that never saw the show became unnerved at the border after seeing what this son of a bitch has done.
7) *Insert obligatory WATCH THE DAMN SHOW line here*
6) Kyubey is the snake from Adam and Eve (or simply the devil in general), Madoka is the messiah, Rebellion almost paints Homura as a Judas-type figure.
5) I still listen to this soundtrack on a regular basis.
4) In hindsight, it's actually hilarious that the show's ending is a palate cleanser for the rest of its own duration.
3) I thought of this literally just now (June 2019), but I wonder how well a Kyoko OVA would have gone. Her backstory had a good beginning, middle, end structure and had an even more darker nature than even Homura's backstory.
2) Your Lie in April, eat your heart out.
1) I probably also could have added "and the entirety of Episode 10" to the title of this one, but her name alone covers it well enough. My last words on her allude to me not liking how she was handled in Rebellion, but it's a little more complicated than that. I plan on covering Rebellion one day, so I'll let you know my exact thoughts then.
