About this episode
It's time for Danielle's first pick, so of course we're watching something with Yuri undertones: Madoka Magica, a show with a whole lot to dig into. Is it a "deconstruction" of the magical girl genre? Is it even a magical girl show? Most importantly, is it gay?
CW: Discussions of death, suicide, and sexualization of minors.
