This show has most definetly picked up. Madoka has fallen into a depression and this is the most invested I have felt with her struggle and character. The music is really good in this episode selling an oppresive never ending haunting sadness.
One part of the show I enjoy a lot is the pacing. I see many have a problem with it taking a while for Madoka to get her powers and make a wish, but I like that we are seeing the world and developing her more before the big choice. The artstyle right at the end is really entertaining and the whole last half is depressing. One small note I forgot to mention is the new ending added. It used to be a very happy still image with some cheery music, now it's dark and surrealist with some creppy music.
8.6/10.
