Oh god. Why, WHY?! Mami! T_T She was such an awesome character! Why do the characters I like ALWAYS die?! Why can't Homura be the one that died?! T_T
Ugh, anyways, that being said, it was so happy and nice when Mami and Madoka got all friend like ... then she died D;
*sigh* ... anyways. Well. So Sayaka wants to use her wish on her brother ...? Honestly I thought he was a she at first :P
Well ... I'm guessing next episode they'll make the contract, especially after what just happened ...
Oh, and the ED is awesome :P
Oh yea and what about Kyubey just happening to be there during her car crash? Suspicious much? >_<

He's not her brother.
The series don't make it clear if he's actually her boyfriend, but it's certainly a guy she likes a lot.

Dropped, just can't get into this anime, i find it absurd and boring.. well, maybe i put it on hold on and when it ends i marathon it al... i was expecting much more coming from aoki and Shinbou, and i love both.


Those cliffhangers will not be very effective if you marathon it.

the cliffhanger is not going to be very effecti neither way lul.
is Shinbou, its normal that some crazy stuff was going to happen, i was like
"so...ok, well good bye mami, aniway i din't like you", Madoka for me is just a Mahou Shoujo more but dark... and thats all, ye it have great OST (though after hearing all the OST of Yuki.. i'm not impressed)

Like i say, i was expecting much more from this, don't get me wrong, if you like the anime, good for you, for me is just another Boring anime wich i will watch when is over just for being Shinbou+Ume.

Wow. Well this episode certainly puts a new spin on things...suddenly, this anime goes from 'nice distraction' to 'anime of the season' for me. Talk about deconstructing Mahou Shojo...very well done indeed. And yes, while this just sounds repetive now, I agree that Kyubey is creepy. Maybe it's just the fact that he talks without moving his mouth...


This show might be to Mahou Shojo what Elfen Lied is to harem shows.

And I LOVED Elfen Lied.

I knew someone was gonna die because this is nitroplus animating it, but I didn't expect Shinbou to direct the anime like that and end up so brutal.

um....i dunno if it was because i heard that this show was dark, and supposedly that this episode is something awsome, but it was kind of let down. i found this episode perdictable, i mean alot of the times when a character starts getting all hopefull in a "dark" anime they get killed off. so i dont see what made this show different or why this episode/show is so hyped.....i mean i personally dont find that they spent enough time on mami's character for me to feel sad for her death. when she died i acctually found it funny that she got her head bitten off by a jack in the box. anyways does this show acctually get any darker/interesting than this or no? also do they get rid of the wierd and kind of surreal looking monsters or does that animation stay there through out the show? (cuz i think it would had moreeffect on me if the animation was normal)

HOLY SHIT! Didn't see THAT coming!

So we had a very lesbian vibe scene and I was facepalming through the whole thing thinking, "Walk and talk dammit!" Especially at Madoka...

And then that witch fight, oh that fight! Mani died so freaking easily especially after the little pep talk she had with Madoka and her feeling great about gaining a companion. Wow, major troll-age.

This episode, Kyuubey started to creep the shit out of me. Now I see his emotionless face and nonchalant manner of speech as scary foreshadow.

Amazing episode, it had pretty much everything. That witch was really, really creepy.
I guess Madoka is just going to use her wish for Mami next episode.
And, Qyubi is just so suspicious. Wouldn't surprise me if that thing ends up being the final boss.


+1

5/5, loved it! This episode like totally deserved it! It's the best I did see to now, and I hope the quality won't go down on next eps. So dramatic, dark and emotional...

Holy shit...Mami just..died.

You know...I thought she would end up as an antagonist that lured the two girls into becoming a magical girl...but damn..didn't expect her to die like that.

That monster basically ate her head first...and left her hanging by its mouth, holy shit.

Now this anime is really starting to kick it up.

5/5

Mami was acting so badass, and then BOOM. Fuck....

Absolutely did not see that one coming. I thought she'd get more development, but unfortunately that gets cut short. That was a shockingly well pulled off scene. I thought the fact that there was no explicit imagery at all made it so much creepier--forcing one to see everything with the mind's eye.

It's just episode 3, and the action's gone up so much already. The pacing is great, and there is A LOT of tension. Seems like it's gonna be a great show, and were it not for the fact that the last 2 episodes are hugely delayed, I'd probably finish it in 1 or 2 sittings.

5/5 for this ep, looking forward to more awesomeness.

You're glad because you finally saw the true nature of this anime, and the reason why everyone says to watch at least until ep 3.

Although, you were saying in ep 2 that you were wondering if you should go to sleep... I would have said you should, to avoid going to bed after Mami got omnnomnom'd.
"Tonight, I sit in the eye of the storm. As fire boils around me, I press forward, winds and lightning lashing my wings. I am no match for what I face. Yet I will not back down, and though fear may place it's stranglehold on my heart, courage will see me through. With tears in my eyes, I hit full throttle. My engines become an inferno, and my weapons light up, awaiting my command.

If I die tonight, I will do so fighting for everything I believe in."

I really liked Mami, it was too early for her. I think they could have waited at least one episode so that people could get to know her better and she could leave a better impact. Poor Mami, I'll always remember you T-T

I didn't like Mami from the beginning - I'm pretty sure she's not who she's letting us think she is (or WAS..).
Same goes to Kyuubey.. I have a really strong feeling he's not telling the whole truth :| (Anyone noticed how he's the one that keeps on telling them to make the contract already?! -> Never a good sign)
But I somehow really like Homura.. I'm pretty sure we'll get to know more about her later on.. Again, I think that she's not saying it out of the blue to them..

Well, I'm pretty sure Madoka will most likely wish for her to be revived. That's what I would certainly do. But, god damn what an episode it was freaking brilliant. And the sheer cuteness of the Witch nicely contrasted with the horror of the scene. FUCK!

Up until now, I've been having trust issues with Mami, Homura, and Kyuubei. At first, with Homura, until I realized what her motive really was. Then with Mami and Kyuubei, when they were trying to get Madoka and Sayaka to make the contract. I finally saw Mami's true feelings and was reaffirmed that she had no ulterior motives when she fought with a certain brightness, only to meet that gruesome end that even Homura couldn't handle herself...

What does it mean to be a Mahou Shoujo?... I can see it really hit those two hard.

Still can't trust Kyuubei yet.

The idea of this episode is just like Evangelion 2.22.... to me it is exactly the same concept. Don't know if they just copied/pasted... In Evangelion 2.22, Asuka was demonized by the angels right after she got excited by the fact that she was able to help and save the world, and it causes the tragedy of her death. Both Mami and Asuka thought the job was going to be a breeze, and that gave away the outcomes. Well I really like Mami's face, the face you make when you scorn people, the face you make when you have no more feelings about the surrounding. Made me suspect her true intention. Awesome facial expression!!

Left Field Decapitations aside that Kyuuby is fucking creepy. Just completely and utterly fucked up. I don't trust that thing not since I first saw him plastered all over the internet. Probably some demon who enjoys little girls getting axed by mixed media monsters! Fuck you Kyuuby

Bah! Never underestimate your opponent!

How many times has a hero casually walked away, then the defeated bad guy makes a last lunge to claim revenge...or something like that anyway!


Well, made for some good motivation!

And I love how at the end, everyone is sad and crying and Kyuubei is just sat there grinning to himself! Creepy double edged sword cute mascot!

Hmmm....theres more to him than meets the eye!

Yeah, but think of it in the context of a cutesy magical girl show or even normal anime deaths. A main character is NOT SUPPOSED TO DIE THAT EARLY, especially not a careless brutal death like Mami got.

holy fuck Mami didn't deserve to die like that. This is Rated R not for the little kids to see ever. This changes the Mahou Shouju anime type to completely new level. It is very realistic. Mami Deserved a better death than that. She was happy and at her best and she was killed at it too. That is like school days ending times 10 and I am so sad . Mami R.I.P. may you find happiness in heaven and the next life.

My exact thoughts, actually i felt Mami's death like a kick in the balls seriously now i see why there so much commotion about this series its definitively something dark and that Kyubei is something else (I think of him like a wolf in sheep's clothing)
