Help - "Ep 1 Madoka magica"
I’ve known about the anime Madoka Magica for quite some time, despite not having really watched it, and only started getting into it a few days ago. However, I actually watched the first episode years ago just to try it, and comparing that one to the one I've watched just now, they are completely different. I tried searching for this episode online, thinking i watched the wrong episode/the spin-off, but I've been told there isn't anything that matches it, so I'm thinking it's probably a different very similar anime.
The episode starts off with Madoka heading alone toward school for the first day as a magical girl, where she later meets her classmates (a few of whom end up in a small argument that causes tension). The school, unlike the one shown in the actual first episode of Madoka Magica, has a more "antique" look on the outside and is made of stone (at least where the class first meets at the entrance of the building). Later in the episode, Madoka goes out into the wild with two of her classmates, where one gets badly injured after an encounter with a worm-like witch and is later taken to the school/academy infirmary. Madoka isn't really helpful in the fight until maybe the end; when her classmate tries to protect the injured one, Madoka finally manages to use her weapon. The episode ends with Madoka feeling bad for her injured classmate, although she turns out to be okay.
Does this ring a bell? Different anime? I can't remember every detail of the episode since it's been years but I can try to answer any questions..
