What does MotK think of this? I think it's entertaining to follow through 12 episodes, but nothing too special.
what happened to my cute girls doing cute things with tarot cards?

Yea I did a sorta review from the impressions thread. http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,15113.60.html
I got to say, I'm pretty interested about it. The opening was saying "The next Puella Magi Madoka Magica
".
I'll stop there. Don't want to spoil too much.

Gen'ei o Kakeru Taiyou is nowhere near the level of Puella Magi Madoka Magica
.
It just makes quite a few references to it.

Thread up because goddamn.
I really get the feeling this series is trying to ride the waves that Madoka Magica spawned. And it's not subtle about it, at all.
But I cannot stop watching OH MY GOD THAT'S NO BRUSH

because I haven't watched
Madoka
I can't give an opinion on that aspect.
but holy frig, this anime's the first to actually get me excited about a magical girl series.

I don't know how to feel about this one so far. On one hand, sigh, looks pretty derivative of Madoka, which I don't care for half as much as most people do.
On the other hand, it's like Higurashi meets magical girls. I'm intrigued by that much.

While the comparison is obvious I don't think it's really all that similar to Madoka in terms of the challenges laid out for the protagonists. They subvert the magical girl genre in different ways.
Madoka's concept was "hey you know how being a magical girl is really cool? what if it fucking sucked"
Daybreak's concept is "hey you know how villains make monsters from people and magical girls save them with healing spells? what if they got fucking slaughtered instead"
While Madoka's protagonists were in a hopeless situation where any result would lead to their deaths, the Daybreak protagonists don't have that problem, in fact they basically get to act with total impunity. Daybreak, at least at the moment, is about how the characters cope with the guilt (if at all).
That said, Daybreak does have a lot of contrived writing so how well it executes those concepts is another matter. I think it's a pretty average show, overall.
