Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica - I will survive!

by feal8722. April 2011 08:08

Hello everyone,

Yes, in the end Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica end its run with an ending less dark than I thought, but highly satisfying in both the way the girls are not destined anymore to become witch and in the way they did not pull a "all happy everafter". (That honestly would have been just cheesy in a situation like the one they were right up at the end)

MahouShoujoMadokaMagica

First of all, Madoka's wish has been the most grandiose ever, actually I did not think about this possibility "deleting all witches from present, past and future before they are born".

I'll be honest, I saw the smirk from Kyubey become less evident after he heard the wish of Madoka. (Oh, poor me what I am supposed to do with these shoujos and their strange wishes? Yell)

MahouShoujoMadokaMagica

The whole concept of Cleopatra as Mahou Shoujo was a little funny, but still nothing excessively bad and they just make me crack a laugh or two on the fact that Kyubey has been creating Mahou Shoujo from the oldest time of the earth.

Sadly the only one to not revive is the "stupid" Sayaka as her wish consumed completed, but they've given enough closure to her position as well so it's all good.

MahouShoujoMadokaMagica

Yes, because it's not like the Mahou Shoujos are now no more or relieved from their position as fighters for the world.

They now just changed enemy (the world's grief or something) and master most likely (Madoka that is something like an god now) and will just disappear when their energy is over instead of turning into witches.

MahouShoujoMadokaMagica

Kyubey? Well, he just changed system and is still searching for more energy to delay the entropy more and more, it's not like he's defeated or anything. He is still pursuing his own and his race agenda. 

I was actually worrying that he would die with some big twist at the end, but luckily he's still alive and kicking or I had to change my website design/icon/avatar. Tongue out

If I had to say one bad thing over the series is that unfortunately everyone forgot about Madoka except Homura, it has been a little heart strucking watching her mother forget about her and having only little lingering memories of her. (The ribbon now Homura is using at the end of the series)

MahouShoujoMadokaMagica

You may be able to say now "But that's not a conclusive finale!", well no one here expected a conclusive finale as most likely it would end up with an unsatisfying ending.

It's not like I can even dream of a conclusive ending with all the stuff was running at the final moments with all the deaths and angst that was building up till the very end of the series.

MahouShoujoMadokaMagica

Concluding, this has been quite an interesting run and I suggest this anime series to anyone looking for some unpredictable/original story with the classic dark Urobuchi's touch here and there.

If this still haven't convinced you, remember that ME, Kyubey is the main protagonist of the series! Laughing

See you soon,

P.S. Now what we need is a animated film adaptation of this story....don't we?! Laughing

I haven't watched it yet but from the speculah, you're still not the portagonist since Homura has taken on the lead role after she inherited Yuri powers from Madoka


damn I can't wait to post my draft... X_X

Ahahah, but in the end my smile right up in the end was the most shocking thing of the entire show I think.

...Damn you, Kyubey!...
...(*In awe of the fight scene*)...
...Goddamn it!...
...Homura~chaaaaaaan!!!...
...Madoka?!...
...Seriously?...
...Noooooo, Madoka!!!...
...(*Realizes that he has been holding his breath the entire time...*)...
...Wut?...
...Oh, I see...
...Sayaka~chaaan!(*weeps*)...
...All hope is not lost...

- Don't forget.
Always, somewhere,
someone is fighting for you.
- As long as you remember her,
you are not alone.


...(*Rewatch, and repeat.*)

...And that's what my mind was processing the entire time I was watching the last two episodes. A blog draft with my complete thoughts will be compiled soon within the next month to allow for everything to sink in.

P.S. Sorry for the long comment, since this show got a big reaction from me...

Don't worry, it's nice to see some long comment from time to time.

Mhn...this series ended in the best way they could make. +1 for Shaft and Urobuchi.

I'll be waiting for your post then.

....Still don't really get why Sayaka was the only one who died. Everyone else came back to life.

Their theory is that her energy was the only completely exhausted (she become a witch) so she simply disappeared with the new rules...

I believe she died because the only thing Madoka did was stop witches from being born. In the original timeline, Sayaka's Soul Gem was polluted and she became a witch. That's why in this one she still exhausted her Soul Gem. Mami and Kyouko died from witches in the original universe, witches that never existed after Madoka's which. That's why they didn't die.

Yes, this is the extended explanation!

They anyway given her enough closure with the final scene involving her into the "dream space" watching her lover perform so it's good anyway!

Sayaka came back to life but vanished after using up all her energy. Mami mentions this after Madoka rewrites the system. We can also say that Puella Magi who die have a chance to meet Madoka who is now one with the force

About "Movie"...

Gen Urobuchi(scriptwriter) said.
First(part?), the ending will be really rack fan's brains.
The 3rd part movie(completely new) is quite adventurous deployment.
So, from now, the reaction of the fans is very thrilling(for me).

Iwagami producer said.
The 3rd part movie(completely new) scenario is almost complete.
Also partially completed storyboard.
(snip)
Third one needs more a time.

The first part"Story of the beginning"
October 6,2012(Sat)
The 2nd part"Eternal story"
October 13,2012(Sat)
http://www.madoka-magica.com/

Screening scale is not large(now 42 in japan),
but it seems to have increased.
When I catch BD/DVD release schedules, I'll report you quickly.^^

Quite interested to the new Madoka's movies, I wonder if they will give us a true happy end this time around or we'll get to stick with some "half-good" ending...


October is so far away...


Ok, let us know!

I was under the same impression as well man, it all started like any other magical girl story, but degenerated pretty quickly into depression.

Will you make a contract with me now?
