Watch it at Animecrazy - mahou-shoujo-madoka-magica-episode-1
The first episode started with sounds of reel, lots of black and white drawing and a girl running (which I suppose is the lead role). Some of the primary characters were introduced - Madoka Kaname, Homura Akemi, Kyube, and Madoka's family (supporting characters).
(Based from this episode)
The drawings/art style was unusual as expected nowadays. It's not as processed and beautify as compared with the anime shown today. Its style is more of like hand drawn art. Their eyes are really not as sparkling and expressive. The animations (movements and details) is pretty weird. LOL! It's a bit of both the cartoon style, painting, and like-3D graphics all in one. But not in most part of the episode. Or should I say it's more of like a collage style - overlapping different graphics.
(Madoka's family)What struck me first is the background music for the fighting scene shown at the first part of the episode. It was intense, enough to justify the battle scene. The battle scene was only in Madoka's dream. Her dream, I think was some sort of introducing and preparing Madoka for her great role to have. He met Kyube, which is a small and magical creature, who asks her to make a contract with him.
As expected from a magical show, a weird and sometimes cute creature appears and most likely prepares the lead role for his/her responsibilities to fight villains. I was kinda thankful because the lead role is not dumb and obsessed with foods or some the likes.
Madoka Kaname appears to be have light attitude, soft hearted person
Homura Akemi is a transferred student and got everyone's attention from her first appearance already. She was good in class and an excellent athlete. She appears to me as a strict and bossy character. And she seems like discouraging or preventing Madoka, to what is that is still unknown for me.
Mari - friend of Kyubey
Sayaka Miki - friend of Madoka and appears to be brave (she just saved Madoka)
(Kyubeey)
Overall I'd put this to my watchlist and follows the plot until the end. :) Coz I love Magical shows..
Quotable Quotes:
"maybe you really did meet her.. and she just left so strong of an impression that, even though you don't remember her, she popped up in a dream."
