I was waiting for episode eight to come out but then realised it will be delayed for one week due to production issues. This season is a short one at only eight episodes but fortunately the third season will come out in the winter 2022 season.
After seven episodes I can confidently say that this is better than the first season which largely focused on the characters backstory while the actual plot took a backseat. This season by contrast does the complete opposite as it puts the story at the forefront while character development becomes largely a secondary feature. It works well but if you like Homura and her yandere incarnation then sadly you won't find it here. Actually I have to say she is more innocent than even the original version found in the first Madoka season.
