predictable plot progression

The best thing about this series so far is the atmosphere.

Well I guess I was wrong about the whole resurrection thing for now but it could still happen I guess, the other wish was pretty predictable and this episode was super depressing at times. New character looks cool though :D

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm beginning to wonder why this show is called MAHOU SHOUJO Madoka Magica, because I have yet to see Madoka become a frickin' magical girl. I heard this show is supposed to be only 12-13 episodes (god I hope that's wrong) and Madoka still has yet to become a f**king MS after 4 episodes? Wtf! Okay, becoming a mahou shoujo is a big deal, we get it!! But seriously, enough is enough! If she's not a mahou shoujo by the fifth episode, I'm done with this anime. It's reaaaally bugging me.


same here! the whole ep was just her moping around and crying. i was getting pissed! lol

Yay Sayaka! Now it's your turn Madoka, stop dilly-dallying already! hehe

Overall, there wasn't much to this episode except mourning Mami, which is understandable. I wonder what's going to happen with that new girl at the end?? She looked pretty cool. I hope she ends up being friends with Sayaka and Madoka instead of trying to kill them!

And I still kind of want to punch Homura in the face, but she doesn't seem all bad. :P ✿ 4/5

Okay, so I felt bad for Kousuke at the beginning...when he was going through rehabilitation and stuff.
Then he said those hurtful stuff to Sayaka!
I mean dude, don't you see that the girl is trying to make you happy? I get it, it must be awful for you not to be able to move your hand...but for your shitty thoughts, Sayaka had to become a magical girl! Now she might die anytime soon, just like Mami-san!

What a disappointment. Only a teenage girl would make a wish to fix the arm of a boy she likes, out of all the other things she could wish for in the universe. Get out of here with that cheese.

I kinda wish Sayaka wished Mami back instead of wishing her crush's hand to be healed. Kinda stupid if you ask me but she's a
girl that has a crush on a childhood friend so I'm too disappointed. It looks like we another magical girl in the next episode.
Can't wait to see what she will bring in.

Hope it picks up soon, story seems lackluster for the masterpiece people are claiming it to be. The animation is unique during the witch scenes but other than those it's nothing to write home about.

Not soon, but the story gets much much better. It's like Evangelion. When you watch the first episodes you think it's just Monster of the Week. Then you learn about NERV, SEELE, the Angels, the motivations of the characters. It is very similar here.

You may not think it is a masterpiece. I watched an anime praised by many, and I didn't like it, not even a little bit. I recommend people to watch anime without expecting anything. It's better that way.

I love how you can see Kyubey's silhouette in Sayaka's eye a few second before the actual reveal.
A lot of the dialogue is more interesting on a rewatch since it adds more meaning to it.

That was pretty sweet of Sayaka to give her friend another chance at living a normal life.

Kyuubei says it's "unfortunate, but he can't force them"... meaning if he could, he would force them to become mahou shoujo. Yikes. What an evil little creature. He seems to be manipulating the situation in general too.

Maybe he really does need to be killed.

Why would mahou shoujo fight over territory, I wonder? If their wish is granted when they sign the contract then fighting monsters is something they should want to avoid as much as they can. Since they would likely(?) have to fight more often in a big city, you would think nobody would want that as their territory unless there's more to it. Like... will their wish come undone if they don't kill monsters often enough pr something?

I'm kinda wondering if Kyosuke will really be happy that Sayuka fixed his hands, too.

Another good episode. I'm glad at least Madoka has the sense to be this hesitant about becoming a mahou shoujo.

Maan, I'm gonna hurt that new character if she dare hurt my Sayaka. I'm gonna beat her to a pulp.

Aaand now Sayaka's a magical girl. I know and WE ALL KNOW that she's gonna wish for that guy to heal, so he can play violin again. :')

I wonder what Madoka's wish is gonna be, but I have a theory that it's either reviving Mami or her wishing to be good at everything. Lmao.

Just a few things I want to throw out there while I'm rewatching this. This show still has awesome atmosphere, and the emotional moments are still hitting for a second time. It's definitely holding up so far.

As for this episode, or more precisely, the scene between Madoka and Homura...

At least Kamijou-kun can jack off now. LMFAO.
Why'd it look dark near the end? o.o I hope his hand wasn't taken over by an evil witch or whatever :0

Stupid Sayaka. That boy probably won't ever be able to give you what you desire, js :3 she just felt super guilty and was backed into a corner when he accused her of torturing him so she got desperate to save him and hasty .-. sad. You dun want no boy like that, girl -.- too late to turn back now tho :3

Madoka is scarred and won't be a Puella Magi yet. Lol at the complaints I see??? Whutt. Shiet, I wouldn't be a Puella Magi. I wouldn't even follow Hitomi and let that bitch die. LOL jks. I like Hitomi, but she's an outcast within the girls :3 wonder why she wasn't chosen by Kyubey

LOL, I take back what I said in ep.3 discussion. The plot is getting good. I hope the new redhead girl kills Sayaka. Maybe this show is like battle royale meets magical girl series!? (there can only be one magical girl) Also, kyubey is like an evil demon or something.

I'm starting to see why this series is so highly rated.

The complete absence of music when Sayaka tells the boy that magic and miracles exist... yeah that was ominous AND creepy. And then she looks up and finds Kyubey waiting in the shadows.
They aren't even trying to be subtle about Kyubey's nature. He is definitely one of the bad guys, though probably a different one from the witches.

This episode make me sad. Because I learned Madoka Kaname cried 4 times in this episode. The 1st time is Madoka is eating her breakfast inside her apartment. She still thinking the death of Mami Tomoe in the previous episode (I mean episode 3). Mami was killed or beheaded by witch Charlotte. The event hit Madoka extremely hard. It turns Madoka from a cheerful girl to a crybaby. It's just like she has someone she admires the most died in front of her eyes. The 2nd time is at her school rooftop during a dialogue with her best friend Sayaka Miki. Madoka still traumatized by Mami's death, breaks down in tears. The 3rd time is inside Mami's apartment. The 4th time is during the dialogue with Homura Akemi about Mami.

Out of the 4 times of Madoka's crying, 3 times I can even feel her sadness that I want to hug and comfort her.
1. At Madoka's apartment when Madoka is eating her breakfast with her family.
2. At Madoka's school rooftop during a dialogue with her best friend Sayaka Miki. If Madoka still cannot calm herself down, I will take her to the Nurse Office even she is the class health officer.
3. Inside Mami's apartment after Madoka put a her Campus Note. Madoka goes inside only by herself, I'm concern about this girl. Her sadness may cause her to faint inside the apartment or even worse, suicide. Luckily, Madoka does not kill herself. She takes off her shoes before she put down her Campus Note. If she cries again, I can hug and comfort her.
