Why do people say Madoka is like Kamen Rider? I just watched the first 8 episodes and it's nothing like Madoka, just some nip jumping around and beating people.
It's not like Kamen Rider in general, it's specifically compared to Ryuki because of some plot similarities and Urobuchi being a huge KR fanboy. If you're gonna watch Kamen Rider because of Madoka, watch Ryuki or Gaim.

I think it's some really basic similarities to one of the Kamen Riders? I don't think anyone takes the comparison seriously, though. Doesn't seem like it's supposed to be taken seriously:

It's sort of like a less funny version of Carnival Phantasm?

They say that it's like Kamen Rider Ryuki or Kamen Rider Gaim.
Though I think Suzune Magica is more like Ryuki that Madoka Magica is.

Why are you everywhere?
>>143073352
That would be Kazumi Magica.

Actually that's what it's exactly like.
It's like Urobuchi's Kamen Rider.

People compare Madoka and Ryuki because they use some of the same plot devices. None were exclusive to Ryuki not to mention that Mahou shoujo shows are also very similar to KR.
The strongest similarity between the two shows, had to be the theme of Justice.
When Urobuchi compared madoka to Al-qaeda that was literally what Ryuki was about; after 9/11, they wanted to teach children that there are many forms of justice and they're not all good. It's why the show had to be a battle royale and Rider vs Rider.

Madoka is literally a rip off from Gaim, they even copied how the MC becomes a god at the end

friendly reminder that mitsuzane did nothing wrong
I don't understand how Madoka is viewed as more than mediocre. Shit happens.
>>143072104
Most likely because Madoka is more popular and some /m/anchild getting butthurt because no one cares about his favourite shit
I want to ___ Madoka.

It has a lot of similarities to Kamen Rider Ryuki, specifically.
Though Kamen Rider Gaim, which was by the same writer as Madoka, also has many similarities.
MadoWraith is a trap for Homura, right?
