ssjokg said: It sure didn't look that way. Then again, most of the focus in the movie was on Homura and Madoka's relationship. Just thought that it was pretty funny to see how Homura completely changes her attitude when conversing with Madoka compared to how she acts with everybody else.Chillingflames said: That doesnt mean that doesnt care for the others and that her attitude isnt justified by other reasons.We all know who she prefers the most out of the bunch though, that's for sure. |

Understandable, given what happened in the TV series (ep 10). |

Just thought that it was pretty funny to see how Homura completely changes her attitude when conversing with Madoka compared to how she acts with everybody else. She does care for them.It's not that obvious,but it's there. Madoka is the only person she fully trusts,so it makes sense that homura only shows her how she truly feels. |
| Aside from Madoka, Kyouko is the only one whom she legitimely respects. In the previous timelines Sayaka always witched out and Mami went on a a killing spree whenever she learned the truth. Kyouko was the only reliable (at least most of the time) ally for her. |

They are not excatly close friends,though. I can't see Homura confessing her feelings in front of Kyoko...although I would love to see Kyoko's reaction. |
| Barely understood what happened,personally preferred the series over the movies 7/10. |
| I finally saw it today and I really liked it. Sometimes, even the Devil loves If you want a better understanding of the movie, I would suggest watching the last minutes of the TV series, after Madoka becomes a Goddess (pay attention to the dialogue between Homura and Kyubey and the last scene where Homura plunges into a crowd of wraiths) and after that either watch the movie 2 times or watch the movie and read Hanokage's manga adaptation, which is very easy to follow as Szadek23 said above. It worked out for me this way |
 |
| finally saw it over the weekend..highly upset at the last 10 or so minutes of it..lowered score cause of it..never watching that again, lol so ANGRY |
 |
| 11/10 if only they'd show a scene with Madoka and Homura kissing.. |
| Freaking Kyuubey lol! "We just want to spit all over your friend's values and the sacrifice she made to give everyone hope. Y U mad, bro? :3" Oh and 10/10 for demon Homura. |

| Hmph. Not much different from the series. Deep bait. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| I lost it when Homura turned evil. If you can call that evil. These 3 moves mind fucked me way too much. I will be honest and say that I'm not sure If i understood what happened. I don't care though. All I know is that i want more. Bebe-chan best character. Homura vs Mami was epic. Awesome how it turned out that Mami is stronger that Homura I certainly didn't saw that coming. |

I remember Urobuchi said in an interview (I think it was an interview) that Mami is the strongest, but Homura can win if Mami is unaware of her time manipulation powers. |

| I can't believe in any of this. I'm slowing understanding this movie. It was okay it would just been abit better if Homura went to heavens with madoka,but the Ending was...okay. if they want continue they should add a sequel to end up with any kind of ending that satisfy. Is urobuchi really that evil? more like can't he see the way the series ended and how it don't satisfy most? well..i guess i'll leave it alone for now. i recently googled and all we got was a April Fools prank of a 4th movie,but i'll have faith. |

superseiyan said: This was an ok movie. For me the main thing I missed on the first watch is Sayaka's role. Also few other things that took away a little: - Kyubey being portrayed as villain-ish. He's not actively evil by intent. He works better as a cold, logical being rather than an evil, scheming overlord. - I didn't get Charlotte. - Hitomi and that violin guy were pointless. Brilliant ending though. People are saying it's edgy for edgy's sake, but actually knowing about magical girls from the series, and knowing what happened in episode 10, it's actually pretty realistic that things would turn out this way. Maybe it was a little sudden and could've done with more explanation (they could've cut the breakdancing and some of the long early fights) but it was an interesting direction. -He is just like he was in the tv series. -Nagisa is another Mahou Shoujo that was saved by Madoka's wish.She was the girl that became Charlotte. -Their whole existence was there to show how different the world was. |
| Oh wow, didn't expected this to happen in the movie, it's completely twisted. So much to analyze, so much to say... Since Kyubei learned that he should't mess up with humans I think that the ending could be avoided... Still, some things were left in the open, so it would be better to finish it instead of leaving it like that. |
| Oh my...Madoka ! The movie was incredible but I still have a lot of questions. I'm gonna rewatch it. |
 |
| I quit. I freaking quit. I cannot think about what happened in this film for more than a few minutes before I start feeling like shit. I can't listen to Inevitabilis and Puella in Somnio anymore without feeling a chill go down my spine and a lump in my throat. And somehow still, Homura became my favorite character of the series. When was the last time a story made me feel like this?  |

When was the last time a story made me feel like this? Don't worry,it will get better.It only takes a few month. |
| I just have to rant it all out: Immediately after watching the movie, my mind was blown to bits. I was silently screaming "What the heck happened" "What the-". I have been a bit spoiled by the fanart, but my body wasn't prepared for what happened. I didn't expect in any way that ending. I couldn't sleep at all since my mind was racing for explanations, similar to what happened when I watched the ending of the TV series. After a few hours, a few things became clear in my brain. Then, I went to look for other explainations/analysis/interpretation... Some points: -The first part where they are all happy really threw me off. -That transformation scene with their dancing. The way they emerge are like butterflies coming out of a cocoon. -I realized that the reason that they couldn't get to Kazamino City is because Homura hasn't been there before, I think? -I did feel that some parts are like fanservice? -So they really made Kyouko-Sayaka cannon eh? Well I guess she deserves some happiness after the whole Kamijou affair. I like the movie, but I don't like how things turned out to be honest. I couldn't decide as to whether the decisions and actions of Homura is good or bad. Everytime I think about it, I get a knot in my stomach. Now, the ending song Magia has taken a creepier turn for me! "One day the light of love shining in your eyes will transcend time and will certainly shatter a dream of this world heading into ruin. Swallow your hesitation, what is it you desire? Is there a fragile future in the direction of your deep desires? " "If I can advance without hesitating, then it’s fine if my heart gets broken." I couldn't listen to it at the moment without my gut wrenching. I remember watching an interview that the song is about wishing strong enough can be like magic. It felt positive back then. Now, I find it creepy. To think that I like to play the alot. Hahahaha. Was there no other possible ending where Homura will go with Madoka but the Incubators will not be able to trap and control Madoka? |

| This movie... is absolutely brilliant. Honestly, I don't understand what happened, but it is quite the visual trip. From patty cake to bus trips to third impact. Honestly, I probably won't remember what happened and it is quite different from the Madoka series, which I felt was more of a coherent story, but this felt like the best kind of fanservice Urobuchi can offer. Also that Yandere switch, that witch. Honestly I don't think rewatching again will help me so soon, but I feel like if I rewatch in a few months I'm sure to get it. |
| THIS is how you put an ending to a series! I saw someone say that this is as earth-shattering as End of Evangelion, and I would mostly agree. Madoka wasn't as meaningful as a series to me as Evangelion, but this movie did SO much better at keeping the tone of the story in line with the series. The ending kind of threw me off, but I still think this kept truer to the heart of Madoka than End of Evangelion did with its series. Now to watch 1.11-3.33! stray_cat said: Woah, way to put that in to perspective.... Totally takes a new turn after this movie.Now, the ending song Magia has taken a creepier turn for me! |
| It was a nice movie, the animation was sublime, many plotwist and the ending was something I wasn't expecting. Still I have lot of questions unanswered, I might rewatch the whole series again. |
| Loved this movie. The OST was amazing as ever. Homura vs Mami was epic as hell! Dat plot twist had me mind fucked. Although the ending had mixed feelings for. Still a 9/10 |
 |
| Seen it last friday, 6 of february. Still on my mind. The proof of the movie quality is that I already enjoyed the TV series alot, BUT with the movie, it done what EoE done for me. One of the greatests movie production. Everyone that sees this will undoubtly by affected. Myself, Akuma Homura FTW!! |
 |
| Well this episode was very amusing but I still cant belive that Homura did that O.O Can anyone explain to me cause I'm a tad bit confused |

|
| As always the strongest point of this show is the story once again. To bad I'm not a big fan of the characters though I will say that I did like'd how Homura turned out to be in the end and same goes for the art style which I like/dislike else I would have rated it higher, 8/10. |
  |
| Wow... just wow... I'm speechless. 9/10 FANTASTIC movie. The animation, the music, the twisted story, everything was great but... ...the ending... I dont know what to say about that, I didnt even know it ended until the credits began to roll. |
 |
| Pretty good I guess. I think I'm trying too hard to like this series. |
| That was really well done. I went from being confused as fuck...to oh, things make sense now. To WOAH WHAT THE FUCK?! Then to, uhh I think I get it a little? Had no idea what was up with that fake world until Homu started investigating. Then I could pretty much assume that since she knew everything that she was the witch. Kyubey was confusing as fuck explaining everything. But I gathered it was just Kyubey being an evil asshole again. Then Homu was freed, but used it as an opportunity to separate Madoka from her god form...then she somehow circumvented becoming a witch and losing her soul, and evolved into a higher being equal to Madoka, but a devil instead. For reasons that make no sense whatsoever. Then she declared herself an evil demon and that she would one day be Madoka's enemy? Just don't understand why at all, lol. Looking forward to the next eventual installment. Also Gen was not joking when he said the lyrics from Kalafina's song from the TV ED were about the movie. |
| OK, the animation was great. Very stylish and unique throughout. Plot-wise...I'm still trying to decipher it all, but it got a bit too meta for me, honestly. And I liked Homura better before she turned evil. But yeah, what a trippy film. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Sequel when? |
