Just finished watching the first two Madoka movies, which are essentially a condensed recap of the show. I've already watched the show about 4 times along with Rebellion, but I felt like watching it again and the movies seemed quicker.
The art is greatly improved, and it's pretty noticeable comparing it to the TV release. Also they even re-recorded a lot of the voices, so they put quite a bit of effort into it. There were some really nice changes. There's one scene where the backdrop was completely changed into a graveyard instead and it looked beautiful.
Quite a few scenes were left out, most notably Madoka's dream at the very beginning and Mami's backstory was completely cut. It's understandable considering they had to fit it into a movie but I felt they were pretty important. The second film had barely any issues though, and the pacing was pretty much perfect. Though I kind of wondered why they decided to slap the original opening sequence half-way through the film.
Anyway, as far as recaps go, it's probably the best recap of a series I've seen. It was pretty worth watching.
