Yuki Yuna Is A Hero - 8.5/10
I was close to giving this a 9, but I think the final episode is a bit of a cop out. - That said, the second to last episode is one of the most riveting, visually impressive pieces of TV anime I've seen in quite some time. I think it's too easy to make Madoka references/comparisons with this show - in my eyes, it's such a different kettle of fish. Friendship is absolutely at the heart of everything this show does, and ironically, I'd say Yuna herself becomes something of a minor character in places - especially by mid-show, the Inobozaki sisters' plot becomes far more interesting, as is Karin.
But yeah - an incredible show that deserves to be seen and applauded. There's some flab around the middle, and the aforementioned final episode, but when it's on the money in the early stages and final third, it's incredible.
