Of an irrelevant genre. Deconstruction is a meme anyway. It's all the same bullshit and tropes but with Rian Johnson level of subversion.

More than deconstruction I value it's juxtaposition. Never knew cute and horror went so well together until Madoka. Obviously not the first or last to have done that, but it did it well.

Homura, Kyouko, or Mami could each solo the whole squad of gachashitters

The fuck? I'm pretty sure anime began in the 70's noob.

It was overrated for a few years after it came out. Hailed as the new NGE or best thing since NGE. Then everyone forgot about it.
Nobody talks about it anymore. It's forgotten. Even in Japan. Twitter, pixiv, comiket, nico, 2ch - it's dead everywhere.

Are you implying 2011 half of Yea Forums didn't treat Madoka as a classic?

Mami gets wrecked by the new girls

Yea Forums also really liked LWA, which flopped elsewhere

Mami would let herself get rekt by anyone as long as they'd rape her afterwards

Stein's;Gate is decent, and calling something "reddit" is not a reason for disliking it, but it wouldn't even make top 20 AOTD.

I've been watching anime since the mid-eighties. I saw Macross before Robotech finished airing here. I had 4th generation bootleg betamax tapes of Armor Hunter Mellowlink. I watched every Brave series as they aired. I lived in Yokohama for ten years and waited IN QUEUE for the laserdisc release of the original To Terra. I've had lunch with Kunihiko Ikuhara and smoked a cigarette with Watanabe after a Seat Belts show. I've done it all. I've seen it all. I am a qualified expert.

Madoka is THE greatest anime I have ever seen. Bar none. This is where the medium has been going since day one. From the very first cel, it was all leading to Madoka.

A metaphor for the immigrant experience covering humanistic and social themes such as systematic sexism, family, loneliness, individuality, alienation, accepting and understanding others, adapting to society, appreciating the little moments in life, capturing the shortsightedness and transience of human existence and fitting in with society's expectations, this show will go down in history. It will change anime in a way not seen since Shogoki took her first steps in NGE.

>Nobody talks about it anymore. It's forgotten. Even in Japan. Twitter, pixiv, comiket, nico, 2ch - it's dead everywhere.
Why do you keep talking out of your ass?

I'll admit it OP the characters are very fuckable and knock-upable, but that doesn't make it AOTDable

The only people who think that Madoka isn't the AOTD are the ones who didn't watch it, so I think it might really be.

All the good seiyuus are getting less roles every season.

idk top 10, but off the top of my head 10 (non comedy) series from the past decade better than Stein's;Gate (no particular order) Madoka, Penguindrum, Tatami Galaxy, Shinsekai Yori, Hyouka, Rakugo, Made in Abyss, Mob Psycho S2, Shigatsu no Lion S2, FMAB
Tbh the weakest part of Steins;Gate was the visuals. It's very good for a VN adaption, but you'd still be better off reading the VN.

what would you say your other favourites are? genuinely curious
what's not to understand? it's not evangelion, there was nothing that in the series that I would describe as "hard to understand". Or are trying to say that because it's a "deconstruction" of the genre that I don't fully appreciate it because I don't watch other mahou shoujo anime?

That's not the case, more likely he's just generally stupid. You don't need to see any other Mahou Shoujo to understand and appreciate Madoka. The standard Mahou Shoujo anime are either aimed at young females (Sailor Moon) or contain shameless lolicon pandering like Nanoha.

anime of the decade is actually space patrol luluco

In no particular order
>Eva + EoE
>Mob
>Houseki no Kuni
>Girls Last Tour
>Made in Abyss
And Princess Tutu, which I guess is mahou shoujo.

S;G is my pick since I'm an autist for finely crafted plot and since it has my wife, but I'll readily admit several other shows such as Madoka were more influential to the medium.

This. Steins;Gate is blatantly superior to Madoka.

You remember those kids you bullied back in high school and you ever wonder if they would snap and shoot up a school? Sana got emotionally abused by her family. At some point she became fascinated by torture implicitly meaning she wanted to do it to her shitcunt family. Her shield opens up and unleashes an array of torture devices on Witches including chains, teeth removes, saws

You're confusing Yea Forums with Triggerfags. Yea Forums liked the OVA but the reception to the show at the time was pretty negative. Maybe that's changed more recently since a lot of people on Yea Forums now also seem to like KLK, when everyone was massively disappointed and bitter when the ending came out.

Hidamari Sketch is way more better (and arguably more mature)than Madoka Magica, desu.
Madoka is just Shaft baby mode, just catching with the people who didn't watch magical girls shows, and, by some obscure causes, claim that this is the best mahou shoujo.
Madoka is the Gundam SEED of the mahou shoujo anime.

yeah there's a big long line of mahou shoujo from the last decade I enjoyed a lot more than madoka, including literally every precure series.

however, shaft has never made anything good. and I've watched a hell of a lot of their material. their best work is popotan. and popotan is okay. not a word I use often, but the studio loves making pretentious crap.

>Madoka was an instant classic.
This. It'll be talked about and praised for decades to come.

This is a Heartcasual, everyone. The way how do you respond to them is "fuckoff heartcasual".

The only reason Madoka is even in the conversation for AOTD is because it’s the only moe show with an ounce of depth so every single yurifag latches on to it as their AOTD pick.

Honestly, I've never seen any criticism from people that actually watched it. Everyone who doesn't consider it the AOTD has clearly not watched it.
It might really be the best anime of the century so far.

Consider this simple fact.
Deconstruction wasn't a meme when this came out.

>I've never seen any criticism from people that actually watched it.

It’s a deconstruction of a genre that never needed a deconstruction. Mahou Shoujo never saturated the industry too much it actually warranted a subversion
of its tropes, and perhaps even more ridiculously, it’s a genre by and large marketed towards children anyway. Not only did it fail to expose any actual flaws with Mahou Shoujo, it inspired a minor renaissance of magical girl shows except with added edge trying to ride it coattails.

At least Eva and Re:Zero prodded genres that actually merited the critique.
