I've always been intrigued by the artstyles of the witches, love me some fun monster design.

But wondering what the show is like. As I get older I find myself having less patience for certain types of anime bullshit (libertarianism, loli, that kind of cringe)

So, is Madoka worth watching or is it freeze-gamer

All I know is if you like the art style of the witches you need to check out Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

It has horny elements but it's also just incredibly jaded and cynical, maybe SHAFTS greatest work.

The cutout style of the witches was huge in later seasons of the show CW suicide and self harm

Edit

Ume-sensei, the character designer(for Madoka and hidamari), is of course on record horny, and her work isn't without the cheesecake that anime is known for. However it's (it's been a while since I've watched) way less service-y and gross than the average show. Granted I'm a huge fan of the SHAFT canon, and the horny service angles of their work (looking at you, monogatari) are always in tension with incredible storytelling and art.

Basically ymmv and don't force it. But SHAFT is always pushing the medium as medium and I'll always be looking at the positives

Love the way the pattern is static but the characters move in zetsubou
