Anime

Well, it's a ranking from 1 to 5, 1 being near perfection, 2 being extremely great, 3 being good-but-with-flaws, 4 being i-don't-like-it-but-i-acknowledge-that-it-has-its-charms, and 5 is everything worse that that.

Most animes I really like are in 2, like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, FLCL, Gurren Lagann, Dennou Coil, and now MSMM. It's a good place to be.

The ending wasn't bad...

It was just a lot happier than I expected and exposed some inconsistencies regarding Kyuube's powers. Also, I rather liked the concept that had been cultivated in the penultimate episodes and felt conflicted when the last episode subverted that whole premise. It felt like the series was leading towards something and what it was leading to was not really what actually happened, not that I particularly feel I can pinpoint what it was leading to any better. Also, I didn't really like the epilogue much either, which provided hollow intimations of Madoka's legacy without providing much substance. It could have been pared down significantly.

Fair enough. Glad you enjoyed it in any case Also, I'm a bit surprised you enjoy Haruhi Suzumiya...it's one of my favourites as well. Still haven't finished watching Evangelion yet, been spending too much time optimizing CC levels
