Yes, when it first aired, so I may be fuzzy on details.

It isn’t a bad show, but it isn’t quite up to the standards of the original, either, which I would bet on being one of the major reasons it gets dumped on. It does recapture some of the atmosphere, but Madoka Magica was pretty tightly written, while I found that Magia Record dragged a bit. Two cours for maybe a cours and a half worth of story.

Holding the last four episodes back for months after the rest of it had aired didn’t do it any favours either. I remember being somewhat lost when it resumed.
