Of course Jeanne D'Arc had to be a Mahou Shoujo :D

Great, Homura is actually even more fucked than expected. She literally has no other choice but to keep trying and trying to save Madoka and for every failed attempt, she ends up increasing the amount of power Madoka has in each timeline. Is this the true definition of an endless circle of despair?

One more episode to go.

It's more than this, basically whether we are aware of it or not, and even whether we live it or not, time seems to have a concrete existence, testimonies of past generations, archaeological vestiges, astrological cycles, geological strata given an account of the continuity of time, of a time which goes beyond the simple framework of experience while it is the individual.

Poor Homura-chan all those times she tried her best, i believe the only way to defeat her is all of the mahou shoujo girls to fight her together but idk if that can happen at this point.

Best part has to be the sequence where Homura Michael Bays the Walpurgis with impeccable timing. Even if she made no dent in it, it just goes to show how much she pre-prepared for this battle. Her going repeatedly back in time just to save Madoka really speaks volumes about her character; she isn't the cold-hearted person people make her out to be. And when she acts that way, it's only due to the circumstances. This really does give me the same vibes as Higurashi.

And just like I expected madoka has some bullshit OP power because "the power of friendship/love". Can't wait for madoka to turn in to some deux ex machina plot device,save the whole city and have a happy after ending. This was a fucking waste of time.

One episode left. Madoka is the only one left that can destroy it. The OST was fire.

Kyubei is incredibly smooth is at gaslighting people. The fact is, the miracles he provides aren't the cause of all this despair, its the horrors he puts these girls through after he provides their wish. But Kyubei probably has millenia of experience at lying and damn has he gotten good at it.

What's the name of the OST when Homura is fighting the Witch in this episode?

Edit: Nevermind, found the name of the OST, it's called "Surgam Identidem".

It seems no matter what Homura does or changes, the fate of the world rests upon Madoka. If she did make a pact with Kyubey, I wonder what it was?

Homura had way more firepower than I was expecting. I wouldn't want to mess with her, hehe.

good episode. madoka learned more about the history of incubators and humans and how without incubators humanity would not have progressed as much as it had today. though what i am wondering how why exactly humanity wouldn't progress without them, that was never explained. either way, a decent episode but not the best. 4 stars.

The whole dialogue Madoka has with her mum at the end renders the first dialogue between Junko and Madoka's teacher pointless.

this is it... i guess everyone will have the same conclusion on what will happen episode 12
the only hope is that madoka is so strong now to actually one taps all witches and never have to use abilities again but still has to live as a corpse though...

Homura didn’t come to play. She came fully loaded!

But even that still failed to cause any damage.

All of those time travels, and here Madoka stands, ready to protect everyone she loves.

Make your wish!

"we could never imagine a world where each individual had their own set of emotions yet still managed to live with one another"
The Creation of Adam in the bar right after that scene was perfectly effective
i think i know what Madoka's wish is going to be

an incredible episode, i'm speechless, and i'm afraid the next will be deeply sad.
i dont know if i'm ready.
Madoka saying ''homura, i'm sorry'' really hit my feelings, i didn't want to see her turning into a magical girl.

Livestock aren't given a choice; they're raised as livestock from birth. If anything, seems like being a magical girl here is more akin to debt bondage.

Homura always fights the Walpugisnact witch alone, that's why she loses.

Possibly the best episode of the series so far, the realization that Homura's intervention might have been why Madoka is so powerful in the first place was genuinely so unexpected, and her almost becoming a witch at the end was SHOCKINGG, can't wait to see where it goes!

One of the best episodes in this first entry. Madoka is no ordinary and that's a W.

Let's see how the last episode wraps up.

So not only has Kyubey been manpuliating girls into becoming Magical Girls for a while it turns out he has been doing this FOR DECADES OF OUR HUMAN HISTORY! Think about that for a sec, Cleopatra, Joan D’Arc, just major figure in history he’s been there since the dawn of cavemen from the sound of it but even with his delusional monologging he acts like we are just cows and other sorts of farm animals waiting to be slaughtered and put on tables for meals I mean he’s not wrong with this assessment but at the same time it’s a really screwed up way of thinking I both love and hate his sort of ideology about us really. The day when Walpurgis Nacht arrives and my god Homura you were crazy prepared for this witch in particular because it feels like she just bought the whole army’s worth of weapons because she has so much ammunition I mean I knew she was kinda taking weapons from the local police but jeez there’s nothing to level a WHOLE CITY HERE. But even with enough firepower it’s still not enough against this witch and she was very close to dying there if it weren’t for Madoka’s interference.

That aside the action? Still pretty awesome I’m not gonna lie. The episode just ends on the mother of all cliffhangers, wow what a finish is all I can say. So much despair, so much despair all in one episode is what I can sum up this entire episode. It’s definitely leading up to something big here. Otherwise awesome episode.
