I never thought I would do this, but here it is:
Watch
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica.
Do
not read anything at all about it beforehand. Just watch it.
Grab the files off
Nyaa. I can recommend the MahouShoujo+yesy translation; they might even be as good as they think they are. There are three weeks left to run, so you get the best of both worlds.
I will say this:
Utena had a love-child with
Card Captor Sakura, and it grew up to date
Mononoke. And that's all I'll say.
Just watch it.
(And
then hit up the wiki for this show, because wow. I mean... wow.)
(Mac users will need the latest VLC to play these. If you have trouble with that, you may actually want to set up Movist; once it's set up you can right-click > open with > Movist individual files and you get a nice, regular app window.)MOOD SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS
