| Really cool to see all the different ways magical girls incorporate their soul gems into their outfits. "I won't let your prayers end in despair". She really sacrificed everything for the greater good |

| The art was fine. The narrative is just retelling Faust. Characters are incredibly boring and unrealistic, full-on plot devices, being nothing more than an archetype. Supposedly a dark and mature anime does nothing more than repeatedly throwing shockbait into your face with no particular reason other than the shock-value itself. The symbolism that, just like in Evangelion, is here just for fun and means nothing. The same goes for random ass sci-fi elements in an overall fantasy show, trying to explain magic with pseudoscientific terminology, ever in vain hoping to at least slightly overcome the boundaries of tautology. Just wish for infinite wishes Just wish for not dying Just wish for infinite energy "Wishes are kinda unlimited but limited actually" WRONG! WORLD MAHOU SHOUJO HAPPINESS MADOKA UNIVERSAL OMNIPOTENCE! How can Incubators even grant wishes? They seem to be creatures of science, not magic. The introduction of sci-fi elements really ruins everything. What do you mean you have infinite attempts at convincing others that the cat thingy is fooling you and you still fuck up? Like, you got powers involving TIME MANIPULATION, everyone knows that, and still no one believes you? Even if they wouldn't take her word for that in any way, can't they just ask Kyuubey? He may not present the full picture, but he probably won't lie if asked directly. Though, even if he would lie, you literally cannot fuck up cuz time traveling is OP. How do you even lose, being able to stop time? It's on the same level of bullshit as saying that Jojo's Stardust Crusaders could win against Dio without Jotaro's help. WRONG! 時を止まれ！！ (a nitpick im sorry) Where did Homura get so much of anti-aircraft weaponry? Walpurgisnacht, as once stated, is coming only to that city specifically. It's not an apocalypse. Just take Madoka away. What was the point of everything, if in the end we got Pucci-type reset, basically undoing everything shown throughout the anime? Kyuubey's indifference towards Earth's fate after witch Madoka was unleashed contradicts his approach with all of it "benefiting humanity in the long-run." I liked him better when he was illustrated as a pragmatic, morally grey character. Also, what do you even mean "meeting a quota"? Your species cannot produce emotions, and the amount of species in the universe that would be able to is certainly limited, if any more exist at all. Just letting one of them go completely extinct isn't just non-pragmatic, it's downright MORONIC and EVIL, which doesn't meet his character at all. A lot of problems could've been solved if anime was 24eps, not 12. Perchance. I don't like yuri. 3/10 solely for hype moments and aura. Off to reading Demonbane now. |

@aurora_yuuki What are my roles?
| @Zarutaku Being the character enshrouded in a gloomy backdrop, while the other characters you initially liked watching in a similar atmosphere get the role of watching you instead. How'd that feel? |

| @aurora_yuuki 5 lovely magical girls watching me? Sounds great. |

| Never watched a "magical girl" series before, but I gave this show a shot. The ending was strange, but I liked the series overall. |

| I really don't understand how the wishing logic works |
| Wew, I probably have to rewatch this for more understanding but tldr, this is peakest of peak. I feel like this anime redefines what magical girl/mahou shoujo anime should look like or aim for even if this is my first magical girl anime I watched xD 10/10. |
