2024-02-28 12:25:26 +0000 UTCI've been waiting to sub just for this series. Ugh, I love you guys. Food for thought: Even though Kyoko is really harsh and cruel when she talks to Sayaka outside of Kamijo, she actually reiterates what Mami told Sayaka about making a wish for the right reasons. Mami warned Sayaka about making a wish for another person with the hope they'll be grateful for it, telling her that if she was thinking about doing it for Kamijo then she should check her motivations. So when Kyoko says that if Sayaka is hoping Kamijo's healing could open up a path for her to be closer to him is the wrong way to use a wish, it was a hard truth. Especially considering the price she paid for her wish, imagine if her wish was full of regrets or didn't satisfy her. Trading her soul for a boy who will never appreciate her for it would seem like a stupid or naive mistake. "Didn't Mami Tomoe at least teach you that much?"

2024-02-20 15:49:35 +0000 UTCHow is it so hard for some people to comprehend that *blank* being in the name of the movie shows that the concept of it (and the narrative threads attached to it) exists past the current anime? Considering, well, LITERALLY EVERYTHING in the series up to current, this revelation came as a surprise to hardcore and veteran fans, let alone people still watching the main tv-series such as these two. If they had potentially read Aden's original comment (it's edited now, thank you, Aden), they'd gain newfound knowledge about this massive plot point, which would cause them to go forward with different expectations than going in completely blind, thus changing their reaction(s) to the existing story. UNDERSTANDING what it means isn't the issue here. As it's an anime-original series, nobody aside from the creators has an "understanding" of it yet, but the name alone spoils the existence of it past the currently animated narrative. THAT would cause them to "understand" something in and of itself. I'm noticing there's a stark lack of critical thinking skills even in this community. It's irritating.

2024-02-20 04:31:06 +0000 UTCVery excited for more of this series, I love your guys insight and appreciation for this show! Honestly the best reaction to Madoka I've seen.

2024-02-20 02:29:50 +0000 UTCEDIT: I goofed at a silly a comment, my bad! I remember in the past I've seen people say this genuinely + I'm real awful at reading tones in text at times ha, so I got overexcited.

2024-02-20 02:28:35 +0000 UTCSeconded! Utena is an amazing anime that I think they'd love since they enjoy Madoka so much. On that, Princess Tutu is another great anime to watch for this reason. and to the second person: discrediting it by claiming it's too old is a disservice. There's many great older animes out there, a few of them not even as long as something like Dragon Slayer or My Hero. Just because it's older, doesn't mean it's bad.

2024-02-20 02:19:18 +0000 UTCIt's not that long, and shows from the 90s aren't too old. Utena is great.

2024-02-19 18:11:39 +0000 UTCI don't know how people can still like a character that just throws her friends away like that.

2024-02-19 13:22:29 +0000 UTCHow is it a spoiler, even in hindsight after watching everything it's not a spoiler

2024-02-19 11:58:25 +0000 UTCdo not throw souls!

2024-02-19 11:55:16 +0000 UTC#Kyubeydidnothingwrong ... See, Madoka is terrible, literally throwing her friends down into the street.

2024-02-19 11:33:30 +0000 UTCnot really. there is no way someone would understand anything from its name with current knowledge.

2024-02-19 11:03:11 +0000 UTCSome additional information to consider; due to the influence of Shinto in Japanese culture, there is a greater emphasis on the importance of the placement of one's soul in the physical world, which adds another wrinkle of visceral existential horror that is difficult for Western viewers to appreciate.

2024-02-19 01:29:38 +0000 UTCYou're so lucky that you started watching Madoka now of all times. There is a sequel movie to the show called Rebellion that came out in ~2013. More than a decade later in 2024 they announced the next sequel movie.
Aden O'Brien
2024-02-19 00:55:48 +0000 UTCI've been saying this for awhile now hut considering how much you've loved this series, I would highly recommend watching Revokutionary Girl Utena if you haven't already. I think y'all would really dig it and I desperately want to hear your thoughts and analysis of that show.
