It just steams me to see characters surrounded by super loyal lovable friends, and to callously ignore their company for self pity, grrr.

The differences (in the OP) are literally Shaft getting the budget to finish the OP.

Edit: Oh, there's a 9th page. Whatever.

Well, kinda saw that one coming.  I mean, seeing how it's probably the most hyped anime since Gurren Lagann, which also made it's way over the shores pretty quickly because of how popular it was...

Still, looking forward to this~

I am waiting for the german dub that cuts out all references to death in the episodes so that it can be advertised to people below age 10 properly, making everything completely incomprehensible from ep 3 onwards.

Sayaka basically fell into despair because she has a very black and white, pure conception on love. Once she found out what she had turned into, she lost the courage to face her loved out ever again because she saw herself as a monster.
Only part of it. Sayaka also realized, with her pang of regret over saving Hitomi, that she had failed to live up to her own (impossibly high) standards.

Kyouko killed herself when defeating Oktavia von Sekendorf because she didn't want Sayaka to die alone. That's how awesome a friend she was.
Once again, only part of it. Realizing just where Witches come from, and that there was no way to save Sayaka, made her decide "Y'know what? Fuck this," when she probably could've won the fight and survived if she were particularly interested in survival.

Thanks. I was forgetting about the Hitomi part of Sayaka's fall to despair.


Also, does anyone know if there's official art of the original Puella Magi selves of the witches? I'd kill to find out how moe Charlotte once was.  :3

They think I'll think that they'll do (A) so they'll do (B) because I wouldn't think they'd think of that but then because they might think I know what they're thinking they'll do (A) after all because I wouldn't think they'd think that way.

Well, I did see fan concepts on it, but I was hoping for an official pic. Ah, well.



Keep saying that to yourself.  :V

I grinned.

Another video. This time, it's by someone who noticed some similarities in a few certain scenes from Episode 10 to Episode 1. Check it out:

I remember thinking about this when watching ep 10. I haven't thought about this series in a while, but seeing that video reminded me of just what a masterpiece Madoka was.

aa music made you think that right...? :P hehe

But yes, it has been a while and I haven't seen episodes 1-4 (or 1-5) so far...

Honestly I might just watch it again for the sake of seeing if it's truly a parody of the Magical girl genre in all. We could have a Skype call coop watching if you want... :P

No, rather because when I got around to watching Madoka, the series was already finished. I marathoned the entire series in a very short time, so there were mere days between watching Episode 1 and Episode 10. Thus I remembered, "oh this is like in episode one where _____".

But honestly, I think it'd be possible to remember anyway. It was a pretty memorable sequence from the first episode.

"Human history and growth are both linked closely to strife. Without conflict, humanity would have no impetus for growth. When humans are satisfied with their present condition, they may as well give up on life."

Wow, I did not realize the shots were that similar by the time I got to episode 10. I do really love the whole role-reversal aspect, so this is awesome to compare visually this way.

You know, maybe it is because I watched episode 1 through 10 spread over only 3 days, but I find it hard to see how one could have missed that.  :derp:

But yeah, episode 10 was when my opinion went from "this show is pretty good" to "this is effing amazing".  :D
