So, JesuOtaku’s review of Madoka Magica was really really good?  Not because she liked it (though she did), but because of her defining of “drama” and “tragedy” (“drama” actually being “comedy,” but being simplified as “drama” in this case for the sake of those who don’t know their Classical terms - and the fact that she defined the terms she decided to use in great detail is amazing yes good).  She basically described exactly what I’ve been trying to say about story structure (and endings) for literally years, and which I’ve known exactly what I meant on the inside, but have been unable to put in to words.  It was great.
