| wow i want to slap the fk outta madoka, almost killed sayaka ;-; |
 |
| I knew there was something off about Kyuubei from early on but I didn't know he was this twisted. Kyouko is my favorite character as of now and she reminds me of a young Revy from Black Lagoon. Also why is this show named after Madoka? Halfway through the show and she still has no powers lol. |
toastyotaku42 said: I officially love this show. Agreed..., Kyuubey: Whats the heck is wrong with you humans i just dont get it. I grant your wish, give you magical powers and make you invincible and you complain cause i extracted your soul to safe place. lol didnt come out as funny as i intended. |
Phaetons_Folly said: Usually I hate it when a character endlessly wines but I don’t feel that way for Madoka BECAUSE SHE IS RIGHT. There really isn’t a good reason why magic girls shouldn’t work together. At least they could form a guild that defines boundaries, arbitrates disputes and provide emergency services such as grief seeds if they are needed. So much magic is wasted when they fight each other. That's not the point. The reason why Sayaka says it's not possible for them to work together is that Kyouko is letting familiars run around and become witches, and while they are familiars, they can harm people. Sayaka wants to kill the familiars before they become witches and do even more damage. However, Kyouko is trying to stop Sayaka from killing familiars and she wants to hunt down witches for their grief seeds, not to protect other people. Yes in the end they're all trying to kill witches but Sayaka is trying to make it so that the least amount of people get harmed while Kyouko could care less about other people. Sayaka has a much stronger sense of justice than the cry baby Madoka does. Madoka doesn't want them to fight each other but she's not thinking as far as Sayaka is. At least that's how I'm seeing things. Anyways, seems like Kyousuke probably doesn't care that much about Sayaka anymore since he is preoccupied with his violin :( That's pretty sad. And Kyouko, what a bitch. I can't believe she suggested breaking Kyousuke's arms and legs to keep him bound to Sayaka...so twisted. Also, Madoka, wtf did you just do. She's not only naive, but she's an idiot. Core1019 said: I still have no idea what everyone's problem with Kyuubey is... He seems perfectly reasonable to me and all his choices seem completely logical. For example removing the soul for safekeeping, what's the problem? That sounds handy! Seems like there are others who have the same opinion as I do :) I still don't see how he's evil yet. Sounds like he's just doing what he is meant to do, which is to make girls into mahou shoujo to fight off witches. And although he is jumping at every chance he sees to try to convince Madoka to become a mahou shoujo, in the end, it's the people who decide not him. He can't force them to do anything. And no offense, it's also their fault if they don't ask him anything about being a mahou shoujo. It's not like he doesn't answer any questions they ask. And anyways, I do think that he's right about the whole shell thing, that he can't let them fight in their fragile human bodies. He even says their bodies can be healed with magic later on (or something like that I think). I must be as twisted as Kyuubey. |
| WTF why Kyuubey didn't explain about the Soul Gem and distance between it and the user to them to begin with before turning them into Magical Girls? Isn't that also fuckin' important to know that for them? He's just going to start explaining only when it happens. I should get thrilled on that but... |
 |
| Great episode 5/5. |
| "Madoka, that isn't Sayaka. It's just a shell. You just threw Sayaka over the rail." Lol. Homura must have been in the mahou shoujo business for quite a while because even Kyouko didn't know about that part of the contract. |

| The episodes only get more intense from here. Love this show so much. Kyuube you heartless being ;A; |
 |
| holy shit! sayaka almost die -_- for a while I think madoka is really stupid.. -_- and kyuubey, so.. Idk if he/she is good or bad now :/ but what I know is.. homura is really awesome.. XD my favorite character so far! XD OH! the end card looks awesome btw XD I love it.. XD |

| Wow, I was wanting the soul gem to get crushed by the truck, really glad it didn't now! sheesh! Very crazy episode, Something tells me that Kyuubey will have a big role when that witch comes. Perhaps Kyuubey IS the witch? He does eat the grief seeds... Definitely hooked though, 5/5 |
| Yeesh, Sayaka "dying" really scared me. Can you imagine? "Oh, I just accidentally threw my friend's soul away and now she's dead." My conscience couldn't handle that. It is interesting, though, how that red-haired girl got all upset. Maybe now they can all find some common ground and be on positive terms or something. I'm sure the episodes ahead are only gonna get more interesting! |
| I don't like Kyuubey, he appears out of nowhere everytime and is just doing his job. I wonder why he persuaded Madoka to help his friend when he doesn't care o.o |
| holy fuk tho |
 |
| "Whenever I try to tell you the simple facts, you inevitably have this same reaction..." ...well, actually you conceal this fact to make girls contract, Kyubey. Homura is getting more and more awesome! :D |
| Kyubei you little piece of shit! he never mentioned that when these girls signed his stupid contract! Thank god Homura for the rescue <3 4/5 |
| Cmonnn Madoka make ur wish already! |
| This show is win... homura was quite pro in this mahou shoujo things... Stupid madoka just become mahou shojou already and stop complaining!!! |
     |
| I'm getting to the point where I hate almost every character in this show. Homura just gets in the way of Madoka and Sayaka, Kyouko goes out of her way to kill magical girls just to get her hands on grief seeds even if it means letting people die by waiting for familiars to become witches, and now Madoka goes out of her way and throws Sayaka's soul gem off a bridge nearly killing her for no reason whatsoever. |
| I'm starting to think that Kyubey's gonna be the big bad because Kyubey is one huge dick I tell you and has no sympathy for Mami's death whatsoever. |
| That was, for lack of better words, a very interesting allusion to the mind-body dualism. It seems like Homura was the only one who knew what was really going on, since she reacted immediately as the soul gem was cast off the bridge. Madoka is still as grating as ever, but that's to be expected given her predisposition. As disturbing as it is, Kyubei was right when he explained how it made more sense for the soul to be kept someplace safer than the human body, which is easy to destroy. Though I find it really ominous the way Kyubei just kept quiet about it until now. Something tells me that there's more to this than meets the eye. That's it for my thoughts. I went into this not expecting much, but so far it's been nothing short of a masterpiece. I can now see why this is one of the top-ranking shows on MAL. |
| Even darker than the the other episodes! Wow, Urobuchi Gen, you sure do know how to tell a story! Good episode. |
 |
| (3rd time watching) Gotta love how they keep the audience in the dark about Homura... especially how she knows so much. The secret of the soul-gem is revealed! Go forth magical-lumps-of-flesh! |
  |
| well...fuck. How much dark it can be now? |
 |
| Okay so the series went from... Let's become Magical Girls! To... Let's kill other Magical Girls! Oh, Also... "If you want to make a guy you fell in love with yours, there's a better option using the magic you just got. W-What? Rush in there right now and break his hands and legs so he'll never be able to use them again. Make it so he won't be able to do anything without you any more. Then he'll be yours. His heart, body, everything." Good point. Oh and when Sakura said "What's going on?! She's dead" I immediately cheered out, "HAHAH! SHE'S DEAD!" Oh boy that made me so happy. HOHOHO! Dramatic reveal xD Zombie Magical Girls, UNLEASHED! Kyuubey is a devil in sheep's clothing xD |

| Am I the only one who doesn't hate Kyuubey? He truly believes what he has done was for the best. If he hadn't done it, most puella magi would have died a long time ago. He doesn't understand human moral, just like we can't understand his moral. He is just being neutral; and there is nothing wrong with being neutral. He should have told them, but I guess he thought that if he did, almost no one would be willing to form contract with him - which may result in lots and lots of deaths of innocent people/bystanders. Also, ignorance is a bliss. If they let it bother them that much, they might be better of without knowing. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, can somebody explain to me what is so bad about moving your soul out of your body in a more compact form? It's still the same soul, the same body, just seperated. As long as you keep it near you, nothing changes, right? I don't understand why people have this urge to establish themselves, be it a home or a body. I love Madoka as the main character. It's extremely believable how she loses it. I consider myself strong and confident, but if so many fucked up things would happen one after another, then I'd break down too. Sayaka is a bit annoying, but also very believable. I think she just hasn't had enough time to sort everything out for herself yet. Well, 5/5 for me. Never expected I'd like this anime this much. |

Most puella magi die or(spoiler for later eps) And he doesnt care about the lives of innocents and as you will see later Because they are people.They will be upset, especially when they become a walking corpse against their will.Wouldnt you be upset if you found out that you cant live as a normal human being anymore? |
| Should have made Madoka kill Sayaka by throwing away her "life", don't know why but I prefer it that way. Edit: If that's the case, is Mami dead? o.O |

| Things are finally starting to pick up/get better. Holy shit though,when Madoka threw Sayaka's soul gem and she died (might seems messed up/cruel but was lmao). What the hell was Madoka thinking though?Obviously separating a magical girl from her soul gem (aka soul) would kill her.But she didn't know at the time so I guess it can't be helped,and it's fine since Sayaka didn't really die. Kyuubey being an asshole like usually and calling Sayaka's corpse an "empty shell" was pretty messed up. |
 mfw Sayaka "died"  mfw she was saved |

| "What I basically do is rip out your souls and place it in a gem :3" Wow, GTFO Kyuubei -------> |
 |
| I'm calling it now, Kyubey is probably the source of all evil! And he desperately needs Madoka for something... Btw, Madoka, gg almost killing your friend. |
| There it is. The wish she made, now she has less time with him, and probably won't be able to see him again. And the damn... rabbit? Magical rabbit fox thing? squirrel? He was really up to no good. |
| I mean, I actually kind of understand Madoka's feelings, but I still cringe at her actions... |
| I laughed so hard when Madoka threw away Sayaka's Soul Gem XD |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Kyubey, you're way too suspicious. How is one supposed to trust you when you go and rip out the soul from their bodies. |
| Fu(king Kyubey!...this IS not Fun!...NOT FUN AT ALL!!!!!!!!...These Dark Settings are just...Cruel! |
| Front Hooks...Oh yeah... |
| Might be just me but Madoka is annoying at the moment, every other scene she's in she seems to be in tears or prone to doing something stupid and she dun goofed on the bridge there. Interesting about the souls as well, Kyubey gives 0 fucks. |
| i have no idea why Madoka threw away Sayaka's soul gem... sure, she didn't know but there could've been other ways to get her to stop. Good episode though. |
 |
| Really, Kyubei? A little bit to late to reveal that. And Madoka, what the hell were you doing? LOL. Throwing your friend's gem like that. |
 |
| Holy shit I thought she died |
| Hi there |
| ^Same here, damn that Kyubey. |
