Hold on. I never came close to suggesting that familiarity with magical girls is necessary to enjoy Madoka. I just disagreed with the assertion that it was best seen without any prior knowledge. I am not saying that you couldn't have truly liked it. Madoka is amazing even without knowledge of magical girls. If somebody said that you can't truly have enjoyed Evangelion without watching classic super robot shows they'd be wrong. However asserting that knowledge of super robot shows helps wouldn't be incorrect. Hence my comparison. Anime in general is pretty accessible, just like film is, but some are enjoyed more after you are familiar with the medium than before.
