Another goal of the project was to develop an anime that would appeal to a wider audience than the usual demographic for media within the magical girl subgenre. Iwakami and Shinbo intended their series to be accessible to "the general anime fan". Shinbo then asked Gen Urobuchi to work on the project as a scriptwriter and Ume Aoki as a character designer. Takahiro Kishida was engaged to adapt Aoki's character designs for the television series. In his role as producer, Iwakami took a mostly hands- off approach. Because Puella Magi Madoka Magica is an original series rather than an adaptation of an existing work, his main goal was "coming up with a high-quality piece of entertainment". After helping to recruit the staff, he allowed them freedom to develop the content of the story, providing minimal guidance. After viewing the character designs that Aoki created, he was sure he could trust the creative talent of the team. In an interview with Anime News Network after the series finished airing in Japan, Iwakami said, "I don't matter much; it's up to those talents to do their work. If something comes to a stand-still I might intervene, but they did an excellent job and I was very happy seeing the results in episode one. A manga adaptation of the series and various spin-off manga series have been published by Houbunsha and licensed in North America by Yen Press.

Masaki Tsuji lauded the series' world building and narrative as well as the character development, and called the series groundbreaking. Masaki went on to say that Madoka Magica has reached a "level of perfection", and noted that the series is worthy of people's admiration.

Scott Green of Ain't Puella Magi Madoka Magica: v. 2 Cool News called the series "hugely admirable"; he praised the animation team's attention to detail, stating that the series "would not work nearly as well if the characters in general and as magical girls specifically weren't presented so spectacularly winningly by the production".

Michael Pementel of Bloody Disgusting called Madoka Magica a "fascinating work", Puella Magi Madoka Magica: v. 2 lauded its dark atmosphere and horror elements.

Some of the fight scenes are really messy and I can't make out what's going on. I can't even really tell what the witches look like. The story is your typical magical girl fare, but also It's way more mature than any other I've read, and I like that there's death and blood and not just transformations and monsters of the week. There's Puella Magi Madoka Magica: v. 2 a really interesting Puella Magi Madoka Magica: v. 2 underlying everything that I can't wait to 3. There's also a really interesting mystery underlying everything that I can't wait to see play out. Unfortunately, there hasn't been much character development yet, and I think by volume two there should be a lot more than what's been given. Each volume Puella Magi Madoka Magica: v. 2 been really short and hasn't really delved deeply into anything other than the magical girl parts. I'd like to see more of Madoka's and Sayaka's and the other girls' everyday lives. Other than that, the story is definitely interesting enough for me to want to continue on, and quite possibly check out the anime as well, which I think is probably better than the manga. And I kind of want a stuffed Kyubey now too, he's just so adorably evil. View all 5 comments. Sep 20, Katie Kitkatscanread rated it liked it. This one was a bit confusing and odd at times. Aug 17, Brittany rated it liked it Shelves: readmanga-graphic-novels. Still enjoy the artwork greatly and really liked where the end of the volume was going. I want to know more about Homura! There were also a few great lines "You get drunk on your own "correctness" and the more stubborn you get". Jul 24, Nicko Moknu rated it really liked it Shelves: misc-books. Read at your own risk! Alas there are no new character designs that I could find pretty, but seeing recurring characters, made me realise something.
