| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- I couldn't resist the temptation to read it raw. I thought that I know some little Japanese, and remember the anime version quite well, so it should be OK, and it was. Anyway, again - it's quite straightforward adaptation of the third episode of the anime. The only notable differences I could spot was omitting the infamous Mami's "let Kyubey treat us to a cake" wish proposal to Madoka, and... totally different looking Charlotte, with the you-know-which scene quite different in mood - it's much darker in the manga. And I still can't get used to the manga version of Kyubey. I prefer the anime facial expression-less incarnation much better. |
 |
| I will wait for translation. I hope it won't take long. ^^ But Charlotte looks really creepy in that scene. |
| poor Mami-san =( even though i already knew it woul happen it seemed like a much darker scene in the manga but there werent too many differences |
 |
| Mami's death was even more gruesome but it didn't have the same impact as anime one (maybe because I already knew that would happen). |
| One of things that came to my attention is the scar on Kamijou’s arm. What that kind of impact it is obvious that it cannot be healed normally because the nerves are most likely damaged permanently. I can see that clearly now with that scar. Other than that Mami’s death was fucking gross and gory more than I though. I could clearly see that in the spoiler |
| I'm rewatching the series, while comparing with the manga, so lots of observations. kFYatek said: And I still can't get used to the manga version of Kyubey. I prefer the anime facial expression-less incarnation much better. I completely agree. It's like they're trying to give it a Clamp-feel, while I like the uniqueness of the expressionless critter. He also displays emotion in his manner of speaking, going "Don't be ridiculous!" at Sayaka. .They skipped the talk of Madoka with her dad and the talk between Mami & Homura (it's still a mystery to me how Mami can see Madoka's potential). . In the anime QB straight out asks Madoka if she wants power (not in the manga). Quite an important question with Faust in mind, cause in Faust 2, Faust is able to make Mephisto do things while having the well-being of other people in mind. Mephisto meanwhile assumes Faust is after power. . Lots of symbolism and foreshadowing lost in the manga,especially subtle things like Madoka letting go & reaching for Mami's hand when she says she wants to be a magical girl like her . I've been thinking: QB pretty much has the same hunting grounds as witches, except he only aims for young girls. Given the speculation that Charlotte was a terminally ill girl when she contracted, it's not that strange that her griefseed hatched at that hospital. Ofcourse, he might have planted it there himself. |
 |
| Mami's fate in the manga version was very lacking compared to the anime. Here, it seems rushed, she didn't give much of a fight before it was all cut short. |
| Dako, I absolutely agree with you, |
