I did notice immediately how similar all the shots were, especially the swapped positions of Madoka and Homura, but if those are the actual timings then that's pretty incredible.

labeth · « **Reply #271 on:** August 01, 2011, 08:58:05 PM »

Well, personally, I got that the opening shots of the introduction to the class was the same, but the exact shots (down to the same couple guys in the background) for the leading down the hall part I didn't notice as much.

Or, yes, Drake, that.

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:

Well, there was the whole one month gap between episode 9 and the rest due to the earthquake and all, so I wouldn't blame anyone for not remembering episode one down to the exact images anymore by that time.

MatsuriSakuragi · « **Reply #273 on:** August 01, 2011, 09:15:57 PM »

Whoa. I knew the episodes were really similar at those points, but that video really shows how different Homura really was in episodes 1 and 10.

Y'know admittedly I didn't like Homura as a character much at first, I thought they were laying the cinematics on her too hard to make her cool and that she was actually pretty shallow. Then episode 10 came and dropped the most insane rate of character development I've ever seen in the span of 20 minutes

So true.

I reeeeally hated Homura (Specially in Chapter 3 when Mami died)

The Chapter 10 came... Homura ascended to my favorite Character in the show (Second being Sakura)

That said, this one one hell of a good anime, totally different from most Mahou Shoujo animes I've seen.

labeth · « **Reply #276 on:** August 07, 2011, 07:43:37 AM »

Funny thing with me is that I honestly really disliked Mami and liked Homura at first. It seemed like Homura obviously knew something, and that Mami and Sayaka were being too dense and prideful to listen to a word she said, and it drove me kinda nuts. I also think I was a little wary of Mami because she had similar coloration to another character in another series who turned out to be pretty horrible (I don't want to spoiler it for anyone, so I'm being purposefully vague.)

Jes_Isaive · « **Reply #277 on:** August 08, 2011, 08:28:49 AM »

Finally watched this because of this video.

I guess that would've been my reaction if I hadn't spoilered the hell out of it for myself.

onions · « **Reply #278 on:** August 09, 2011, 01:48:52 AM »

Just watched episode 10 and UGH this show is so well written and directed.

e: just finished the show. this anime is just so... "happy" :colonveeplusalpha:

Oh god, this is epic at so many levels. :getdown:

I haven't actually played it yet, though, but I just HAD to link it here.

Okay, played through it now. All of the witches are pretty damn easy except for Charlotte and Walpurgis Nacht, of course. Homura's charge shot is so Youmu, and Madoka is definitely a Reimu-type.

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #280 on:** August 14, 2011, 09:33:44 PM »

Ah, yes, the Madoka shmup. Showed it to the Library channel a few days back, I think. I beat all the witches on Hard mode with Kyouko (there were other characters I could have played as?), myself. It's not terribly hard, but it's pretty sweet. That site is great for games.

Speaking of... here, have some Pacmagi. (I haven't gotten far enough to know if there are spoilers, sorry.)

The Homura jumping game is a lot of fun.

Oo speaking of games and Madoka, and since Comiket's already here, has anyone managed to get a hold of or heard of anything about Tasofro's Madoka game?

Drake · « **Reply #284 on:** August 15, 2011, 09:03:03 AM »

well i definitely wasn't playing it yesterday

This person is an idiot. Sure, the game is simplistic and short, but it does what it needs to do. Let us all play as the cast against witches. The sprite work and music is very good, as expected from Tasofro. The character balance is a legitimate problem, where Sayaka and Kyouko dominate and everyone else is much worse, but it doesn't hurt the game much. Needs netplay though. Twilight Frontier has no excuse there.

I think half of #shrinemaiden talking about Grief Syndrome over the weekend non-stop says all you need to know.

Quad City QBs · « **Reply #287 on:** August 15, 2011, 10:28:55 PM »

Seconded on the netplay point. I'm not even sure Hamachi would work, because you actually have to go into config and set up each controller if you want to do multiplayer.

Which is worth the effort if you can find people, of course. I played 3-player at a party and it was tight as hell. Unfortunately, it crashed on stage 2--not sure if that's just a multiplayer thing or if I had a bad install or whatever.

At the very least, I got a new avatar out of the whole deal.

Link · « **Reply #288 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:17:00 PM »

Hamachi won't work because there's no network code there in any way. You'd need a Caster type solution and I highly doubt anyone will bother for a game like this. Shame.

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #289 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:27:55 PM »

It's annoying, since Tasofro obviously knows how to work netplay in. Too bad they didn't.

Kyouko is overpowered, I hear. Though, it wouldn't matter to me if she were the weakest character in the game. I'm not playing as anyone else.
:flowerpower:

Grimarg · « **Reply #290 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:39:33 PM »

Well, I just finished it, and I EFFING LOVE IT, pretty much for all the reasons you put, also, by episode 5 I was playing Magia on my guitar already.

this is like French Bread syndrome!

And it sucks because Tasofro have freaking implemented netplay before so..! All things considered, GS would probably be way better with some form of netplay. But I'm not gonna rag on it any further than that.

Chaore · « **Reply #292 on:** August 16, 2011, 03:03:08 AM »

The game is amazing, and even if it's got it's faults, it's pretty fun.

My only beef is that

Spoiler:

is an amazingly dick move. Not only does that mean doing well you don't get that fight, it means if you're having trouble you get slapped with another boss fight out of nowhere.

Not like you'd have that problem anyway. All hail the stab queen, Divereaper of the twelve legions. Not the best damage wise, but god damn probably the most mobile and fun to play.

PX · « **Reply #293 on:** August 16, 2011, 03:21:46 AM »

Game is fun. Especially Sayaka

Favorite Moment: First lap/playthrough, Homura on Stage 4/Elsamaria, I killed the boss with 35 Soul Limit left, 1/3rd of my HP bar in red, one third in blue, and another third in green. It was amazing.

Polttopallo · « **Reply #294 on:** August 16, 2011, 01:41:24 PM »

I cannot stress how easy is Walpurgisnatch's stage with Mami.

ooo this game

But waits there's more! Only if you replay within 10 mins of posting this post, you get this (Also available here ). (On the side note why Youtube has only like 5k views while Nico has 433k?)

I finally finished watching.

/mfw Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

Guys, I'm scared. I think this anime might be better than TTGL.
brb, gonna go catch up with the rest of this thread.

Dormio Ergo Sum · « **Reply #298 on:** August 17, 2011, 12:41:06 AM »

Oh, is this where people are talking about Grief Syndrome?
Homura is fun to play around with.

Spoiler:

CS · « **Reply #299 on:** August 17, 2011, 05:33:19 AM »

It seems the girls have levels? So they, like, have higher damage, life, etc as they level up? If so, why not grind a girl till she's super fat :V

Oh and what are those laps anyway?...
