I try to make a point to watch anything involving Gen Urobuchi and was not disappointed
Amen. Madoka Magica anime really disappointed me and I thought Urobutcher turned to a pussy. Then I watched the movie trilogy and the 3rd movie was built on top of the anime ending so well now I refuse to rate Madoka Magica as I consider 10/10 would be insulting. (An honor I've given to Matrix, Evangelion, GitS(Minus Arise and the feature length character assasination), Steins;Gate (minus the movie) and BBC SHERLOCK minus S4E1)
As polarizing as Guilty Crown was
It's not polarizing really. If you only watched the first half you'll be thinking it's one of the greatest anime ever made. Then the second half and especially the final episode was one of the worst I've ever seen. Thankfully we had a protagonist like Inaho for ΛLDNOΛH.ZERO who is like an existential middle finger to piece of garbage that was the lead of Guilty Crown.
Urobutcher only worked on S1 and the movie of Psycho-Pass. Season 2 was done by the guy behind Heroic Age (one of my favorites). If the series had ~15 episodes to tell the story and with bit more polish to it, it would have been as good as S1. It had so much good stuff and even took some stuff to the next level from S1. But ultimately it was an Star Wars EP VI but this time it was't because unnecessary stuff added but because the series didn't have enough time to flesh itself out well.
Currently I'm at
Madoka Magica
Psycho-Pass
Fate/Zero
ΛLDNOΛH.ZERO
Expelled from Paradise
Psycho-Pass 2 and The Movie (which are still better than some of the best Hollywood has to offer)
