While the Sword Beast sub-arc is far from being a highlight of the series, neither is it anywhere near being a lowlight. It is entertaining enough that slogging through it to get back to the main story is not too tedious.

Madoka Magica: Rebellion blasts the franchise sky high, which results in an experience about as satisfying and horrifying as that sounds. It demands to be seen by fans of the series, although not necessarily enjoyed.
