Let's Discuss Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Happiest Anime Ever

[poglogo]

Watched it and now i cant stop think about how insignifant humans really are.

Everybody knows that Madoka Season 2 is going to be a Slice of Life anime.

More blood? More like the Manga? Niace

Every episode is a beach episode!

Except for the episodes that are onsen episodes.

And the final episode will be both.

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

Season 2 will take place in the Aperture Science laboratory. With Kyubey as GLaDOS.

Most probably Zombie Lolis!

So I decided to marathon the rest of the series up to episode 10 to my friend (the one that asked if Madoka

Spoiler:

will wish for all the witches to go away

).

During Kyoko and Sayaka's first fight when Homura stepped in to save Sayaka,

Spoiler:

he asked me if she could stop time or something

.
When Sayaka was cleaning her Soul Gem with a Grief Seed that Kyuubey later ate,

Spoiler:

he asked me if they turn into witches if the don't clean their soul gems or something

.
When Madoka threw Sayaka's Soul Gem down the bridge,

Spoiler:

he asked me if Sayaka was going to die or something

.

I tried my best to keep a poker face and misdirect his thoughts to something completely different (Homura is ninja fast, they lose their Magical Girl status if they don't clean their Soul Gems, Soul Gems are not souls, etc).

That fucker has either been spoiling himself big-time... or he's just really good at guessing what'll happen next.
The only time he was surprised was when Kyuubey

Spoiler:

ate himself

.

It could very easily be the second one. I watched Madoka after the series was done with Iced, Matsy, Chaore, and a bunch of other first-time viewers, and I ended up guessing most of the plot twists with ease as well. (Almost all of the major ones, though I didn't care enough about the minor ones to make predictions that can be verified.)

[Yukarin]

I've been avoiding this thread ever since it was made, because I'm stupid and I haven't watched this beauty yet.

Now I did, and I don't fucking regret it.

Still don't understand the ending though. STILL DON'T.

I would be absolutely down with Puella Magi Madoka Magica Fumoffu.

Madoka became the Grim Reaper of magical girls.

I must use this sequence in real life some day.  :getdown:

[Hello Purvis]

So. A thing I found myself pondering whilst at home an internetless:

Spoiler:

Has it ever been mentioned whether the Kyubee has any way of dealing with witches themselves? Given their plan involve unleashing a literal planet-scale Witch out of Madoka that has enough power to rewrite physics, it seems they would be creating their own doomsday scenario if she ever found them. Which seems like something said witch would want to do after dealing with earth.

In my eyes,

Spoiler:

Kriemhild's goal is just to engulf the Earth and all of it's inhabitants on her "painless world". Kyubey wouldn't even care about our world's result as long as he has enough energy.

I bet they milk the planet and blow it up for even more "entropy"

Therein lies the thing, 

Spoiler:

she wouldn't be just Earth's problem anymore. She's kinda moved on to be a more galactic threat just by the sheer scale and power that she has. And the only other species she knows about is Kyubey's, chances are they'd be next after humanity goes extinct. I suppose one can argue there is an awful lot of space, but I suspect something like her can overcome such an obstacle.[/spoilers]

[Jana]

Spoiler:

I dunno, I feel like her power is certainly gargantuan on an Earthling scale, but a spacefaring race like Kyuubei's would certainly have a way to deal with it.

This is what I think, actually.

Spoiler:

Incubators are fighting against a natural law that threatens the whole universe. Surely a earth rending witch won-t be too much.

[Iryan]

Considering that

Spoiler:

they know of the existence of multiple timelines and in the very end even recreated a complete universe, I can totally see it being the case that they would have no problem with a few timelines being completely obliterated in order for the MULTIverse to continue its existence, so to speak.

  :derp:

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Spoiler:

Now I have the mental image of a whole planet of Kyubey's being faced with the ultra-witch they created and going "Well shit... ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼ " before getting blown up. Considering they weren't capable of stopping Madoka from what she was doing, I'm not quite sure they would be prepared for such a case either

[Zengar Zombolt]

There's one more thing to consider.

Spoiler:

Even if the wish is mostly due to Madoka's own power, Kyubey had the power to grant it. Who says that after the deed he can't undo wishes (Ep12 was a special case that caused an irreversible change, so it doesn't count)?

[Hello Purvis]

Spoiler:

It would seem that by the time the witch springs up, it would be well out of their area. Otherwise, it would have been in their interest to manipulate witches too, to make the harvesting more efficient, rather than the slapdash run and find that was going on. And given Kyubey sort of suggested they really don't fully understand the power they're harvesting, as it's foreign to their species, I could easily see them biting off more than they could chew in this regard.

Finally got around to marathoning this. My brain's kinda reeling right now, but the functioning part is telling me that this was one of the most enjoyable things I've ever watched. The witch scenes aka let's take the OP from the SZS3 OVA and make it even more freakin' nuts had me manually retrieving my jaw from the floor every time.

Spoiler:

Homura vs Walpurgis Night had me manually retrieving my head.

Usually after watching something this awesome I'd hunt down all the decent fanart, but after seeing how many goddamn pages there are to sift through I think I'm just gonna sit here and rock slowly back and forth instead.

Oh yeah, Charlotte (the omnomnom part) is adorable.

What did you do for Madoka's birthday? I drew this:

I didn't do anything, but your style has gotten extremely good. Nice one, Maullar.
