| Damn Gen ;-; |
| The story is enjoyable. But, Jesus, the music makes it 100x better O.o |
| Ahh classic Gen, the cake is a lie indeed. Mami's death was swifter than I thought,now is madoka gunna wish mami back to life? |
RLinksoul said: This was the moment when thousands of viewers went from saying "This is mediocre, generic magical girl crap." to "This is AMAZING! Best anime ever!" This is only gonna be a 6/10 anime to me then if this is the best it gets. I don't think this episode was really much better than the previous two, despite the "twist." I already knew the nature of this anime and was expecting some shocking deaths to occur, and the first two episodes weren't light on hinting "being a magical girl is some dangerous shit." That said, I liked the episode and didn't expect anyone to die THIS soon. In fact, I wish Mami hadn't died yet. As has been said prior, we weren't really given the chance to feel attached to her character. Seeing her body hang there was pretty cool though; too bad the "gruesome" part of her death was off screen. The best thing about this series so far is the terrifying atmosphere of the labyrinths. Even when nothing was happening, just the nature of the labyrinth makes my skin crawl. |

ahh, there's the shaft head tilt I know and love |
| And Urobuchi strikes again right in the feels! RIP Mami :( |
| Yay. The head chomped off episode! |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Poor Mami, she had an harsh life as an mahou. Still, some interesting points where raised on this episode. |
| I was expecting some head roll, or at least, some black figure resembling the head to show she got CHOOOOOPED! V/ (MCM fans will know) Nevertheless I like she dissapearing from the scene, she was too shady for my taste. Although I didn't got hit in dem feels like others, I didn't really expected her to got killed. Only Gen knows how to put the Butcher into Uro |

| I actually quickly foresaw that coming considering Homura's warning, but that didn't make it any less emotional. Sigh, time for another joyride. TheRaxas said: Just went into this, knowing what happens still didnt make it any less shocking for me... This actually sums up my feelings perfectly. |
| Wow.. The cute style of the characters really led me to believe this would be one of those feel god animes where there aren't any real consequences and the "heroes" always prevail. I can't believe they just killed Mami like that... I'm very interested, looks like this anime is going to be more than what meets the eye! |
 |
| All those conversations actually raise her death flag, so I'm not too surprised that she got killed. |

| I knew someone dies, did not expect it to be this soon however |
| Mami's death was unexpected. Didn't make the anime more appealing to me, as the atmosphere of the anime was already obvious in the first 2 episodes. |
| So that just happened, although I couldn't help feeling it would end up like this as the episode went on. Great episode anyway and I'm interested to see what they end up wishing for (inb4 Mami is wished back to life or something) |
| Huh? She died already? Didnt see that one coming, was expecting her to dodge then finish it off with something epic... the fight scene was great though. |
 |
| Wow I didn't expect to anyone die in a magical girl anime but that was awesome so this isn't yet another magical girl anime I love it |
 |
| That's really hard to decide. It will be risky to be a magical girl in exchange for your one wish. Great episode. |
 |
| Ok so... interesting episode... curious to see how this progresses. I wonder what they'll wish for. |
| I laughed when Mami died. She's basically my most hated character.. |
| I love Minimalist Arts. Such Simplicity, yet hold so much Meanings to me. |
| Can't say i didn't see that coming but that was pretty crazy |

PROFILE
MUSIC| You just know when fights are too easy, something is gonna happen. |
 |
| I came from the future to see what people said when this episode first debut. I expected more shitstorm. |
 |
| I love how this makes sense of everything so far, kind of. Because Mami just doesn't want to be alone in this, to the point of being willing to put others in her same situation, whereas Homura knows very well what's at stake and is willing to bear the burden alone, no matter the pain. So even though Mami is the more sympathetic one, in a way Homura is the one most like Madoka's mom. I think the reason people didn't get that angry is because there's a lot of foreshadowing, like Homura constantly warning them while Mami is so overconfident. You're just waiting for her to get hurt. Most people also know Urobuchi's reputation. There's also the fact that they can possibly wish her alive again. We don't know the rules yet. I wonder what would happen if you wished the witches away ... I tried watching this back when it was airing, but I was kind of very distressed at the time, by other life circumstances, so I couldn't focus enough to finish it. Loving it now though, even if ... As much as I love playing with expectations, being cruel to your characters, I'm wondering if this might be too much for me because of how cutesy it is compared to how completely brutal for example Mami's death was just now. No romance to it, no kind of redemption, nothing gained. Just, all of a sudden, dead. Makes me feel empty and sick. |
| Omg I didn't expect her to die!! Based on what Homura said, I certainly expected the witch to be more than Mami could handle, but I didn't expect her to die! :( I agree with a lot of people here that one of them needs to wish Mami back to life. To be honest, the possibility didn't even occur to me right away. Probably cuz I was too busy being shocked! lol Thankfully, the artwork wasn't nearly so strange this time around! ✿ 5/5 |
| Poor Mami :'( |
| And Mami was so happy, too... The fuck Kyubey, was that all planned out so that you could turn Sayaka and Madoka into magical girls? Not a hint of shock from him when Mami was killed |

| I am in SHOCK. I was like, "Aww, what a cute witch that is!" Then a hideous thing came outta' that cute witch and ate Mami-san up o_o Just when Mami-san was about to find a shoulder to cry on, a duo to fight with. Homura-san does have a point, doesn't she? Loved the ED, Kalafina's always been a favorite. And loved how the ED was portrayed. A guess I even shed a teardrop or two for Mami-san. I just hope Madoka will think over her decisions ;~; |
| Ehh EHHHHHH 3 episodes in and a best girl is dead? OMG... the classy girl is dead ;_; I'm putting my blame on Madoka to make her soft. Damn you Madoka!!! Mami... whoa. I hope Madoka would wish to revive all of her dead friends. I think that's the best wish. |
 |
| What's with strange art some times,it looks terrible . |
 |
| Well that escalated quickly. |
 |
AllenVonStein said: What's with strange art some times,it looks terrible . umm...what I'd say this is one of the most visually inspired anime ever made. Easily SHAFT's best work. The witch animations are stunning. |
| Well damn. |
| :) |
| wow really sad. Every episode I suspect more of Kyuubey. He is forcing Madoka and Sayaka to become a Magical Girl and looks like he don't feel anything about the death. |
| Yes, we finally get to the big WHAM moment, the moment where people started calling this a brilliant masterpiece just because it's being edgy. Well, the last few minutes were okay, but the rest of the episode was just business as usual, didn't really find it that interesting because I already knew what was going to happen. Maybe that's why I didn't like this show that much the first time around, because I got spoiled what was going to happen, but then again, there's plenty of other shows that I knew what was going to happen but still enjoyed them, so I don't know. At any rate, if I remember correctly, the show gets better after this, but I'm rating this episode 2/5. Also, isn't Kyousuke's CD player a tad dangerous? You could cut your fingers on that thing! |

| The Twist was predictable after the battle started . Good episode . |
| a death this early like I need any more to like it better this is dark enough for me |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| The looking up part of Homura kinda reminded me of a scene from Bakemonogatari :D Damn that clown face was pretty cool, did it just ... seriously eat Mami's head? Wait ... Mami's seriously dead? I expected something to happen to her, but death? |
 |
| Damn, Mami was the only character I was liking so far and then her death happens 3 episodes in. I've got mixed feelings about this. |
 |
| The death was pretty predictable. It was a little sad, yeah. But still, meh... Can't they just use one of the wishes to bring her back? I don't get why everyone was saying that episode 3 was when it gets good. It still feels just "meh" to me...Does this anime get any better? I'm not a big fan of it. |

If the death was predictable or not IDK, but during is airing ,in 2011, was rare to see people not getting suprised by that because they were expecting a happy MG storie, but now even if u didn´t see the anime u will know that is different than ur typical MG show. For me the show get´s better every episode, the writting on this anime is excellent but some people dislike it, so YOU could try to continue, but if u don´t like it u should stop now and see other thing, |
| Wow, this episode was so intense and sad. Why, Mami, why you didn't listen to Homura about the outcome?! RIP, ol' fair one. |
| Cartoons and anime is my reality. |
| Probably would have been a good moment if people didn't hype it up so much. Only thing I really enjoyed about the show was the art. |
