Suffice to say it is exactly what I am doing; even if I should be in bed. Damn it all; Mami is awesome and her theme, damn her theme! <333

Also, I'm sure I won't be the only one buying this soundtrack.

I just watched the last episode after putting it off for quite a while. And... damn, that was horrible. It wasn't bad, really. Rather, it was a fitting end to the series. But fuck was it ever disgusting.
I'm glad there's already some doujin endings that feel way better than the canon one.

Yeah, the soundtrack is preeetty good.

Not bad. But I think this is probably the best remix I've heard of Magia. Love how they use the church bell in this especially.

Well, there MAY be a chance of some random person wandering in here, who happens to be interested in the series but hasn't seen it yet and wants to see what other people think about it first so they know whether or not they should follow the series, so I guess it should be kinda appropriate to spoiler it sometimes anyway.

GASP! Vader is Luke's father!?!?
Considering this is one of the internet anime community's biggest hot topics right now, getting high ratings, recommendations across the board, and tons of exposure, I really don't have much sympathy for anyone who comes in here expecting spoiler tags on a series that's months old. I know people who haven't seen Cowboy Bebop. Should we probate anyone who says that Spike dies at the end?

Edit: Yeah, that post was a week old. I don't read dates, but my point stands~

Puella Magi Kazumi Magica Ch5 has quite possibly the most horrifying wish in the series thus far.

Yes, counting Homura's.

That reminds me, I meant to ask:

Are the spinoff mangas good? Do they hold up to the quality of the anime?

So I caught up with the Kazumi manga.

Spoiler:
You can't deny it now. It's official. All of Kyuubey's species is evil.

From what I gather,
Spoiler:
Kyuube is like Anonymous from 4chan. They are a hivemind and legion, and have no sense of morality. So it's ambiguous whether Kyuube qualifies as a species, as it's like Touko from Kara no Kyoukai in that it can just replace itself with more bodies.
Never forget these eternal words of wisdom: "Take it easy!"

I've been enjoying them so far. (I really like Kazumi's art style.)

Well, I was kinda referring to
Spoiler:
Juubey's menacing behavior towards the girls when they weren't looking, and the way the subliminal Kyuubey tricked that girl after she was saved from her friend's witch by the Pleiades Saints. Poor thing had no idea that they were doing her friend Yuuri a favor by ending her misery.[/url]

Furthermore,
Spoiler:
Juubey's emotional behavior even though he's an incubator proves that Kyuubey's "our species is incapable of emotion" was a blatant lie, and he was putting up an act throughout the entire anime. Either that or Kyuubey really IS an emotionless bastard.

Kyuubey says that

emotion is seen as a psychological disorder amongst the Incubators.

To be honest I think the manga is pretty bad...

You'll notice they haven't given any of the girls besides Kazumi any personal development, they've all just been introduced in groups going "hi we're magical girls". Basically everyone looks completely expendable right now, and that's terrible.

In comparison to the anime, there's a lot more overt fanservice, a lot of nonsensical plot (like
Spoiler:
that whole thing with the detective lady made zero sense, how the fuck did Kazumi immediately figure everything out
), pacing issues...I don't even think it's good as a standalone, much less being compared to Madoka :|

Hmm...you've got a point there. Still, it's a bit too early to judge it in such a way. Give it some time, it'll flesh out more eventually.

Eeeh, fanservice in supposedly serious works is a particular pet peeve of mine...

What about the Oriko manga, is that promising so far?  :derp:

Indeed it is. And apparently the artist is a Touhou fan, too.  :3

Lol, Kisume look-alike.

In other news, I just came up with a splendid idea:


"Contract. Contract! Gotta make a contract. Gotta make a Puella Magi contract. Ooh! Hey! Lady! Hey! Lady! Hey! Lady! Let's make a contract! Dad, I made a contract! I'M PROUD OF YOU, SON. Dad, are you a contract? YES. NOW WE ARE A FAMILY AGAIN."
