| well he might just be a middle man. the neutral party. unless of course hes part of the force that creates both witches and magical girls. |
Iri said: I'm slightly curious if the cover of that Mahler CD that Sayaka brought in was real or created just for this episode. If real and could be tied to Symphony No. 8, that would be very interesting. It's real, I saw it when looking 2 c when full version of magia was coming out. |
| I thought Madoka died there for a moment. |
| My god I laughed so hard at the teacher's Christmas Cake lecture. Did Kyubei always have that red circle on his back? MOOOORRNIIING REEESSCUUUUEEEE!!!! Couldn't help but laugh a little at the lolzombie faces. Love the ED. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Wow, twas my favourite episode so far! Kyubey is really scaring me: even after what he/it said about leaving the girls alone and letting another girl be in charge of the city.. when Sayaka had a wish she wanted granted, who was there, lying in wait? That's right, the candy-eyed demon himself! Also, Nonaka Ai right at the end <3 |

Iisan-kun said: StormViruz said: After this ep, I disliked Kyubey for some reason. Don't worry... I think plenty of people have disliked him since the first episode... ...because he is the DEVIL INCARNATE. If that's the case, Madoka should troll him. I'm not guessing anymore about Madoka's wish. I'll just have to wait and see. |

| That was pretty awesome. I loved the dark atmosphere. I'm looking forward to some cool revelations in the future. |
| I really don't want to put out any guesses. Knowing SHAFT, I'll probably love whatever happens. Time to sit back and enjoy this one. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Being a Mahou Shoujo = SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS!!! I don't remember Sakura, Nanoha, Fate, or for that matter the entire cast of Sailor Moon being this serious... Either way, I'm really enjoying this anime, at the beginning it looked so generic and uninteresting, but now... |
geasscommander said: What happens if Sayaka is the one beating Kyouko? Problem I see with this though is that Kyouko must be either a)more experienced or b)her powers are far more powerful than Sayaka's. To me Sayaka's wish, how should I say this, does not look like it was formulated with enough feelings.Also Sayaka is going to get her ass kicked by kyouko soon. neji64plms said: I wish to know what happened to Kamijo that makes Sayaka feel guilty.I want to see what happens to Sayaka's story I wish that I could see the next sooooo bad! Ousto said: Unfortunately not me, I wish we could see how the contract is made so that I can sort out what kind of ritual it can be. Anyways I am going to watch Faust as a movie and read a good translation of the book. Perhaps then I will find more answers.My heart sank when I realized that Sayaka made the contract and became a Puella Magi. |
| This show reeks of awesome. And where's mah OP/ED single? |

| I really want to see Madoka go mahou shoujo next episode. |
Genix said: alexcampos said: When I first saw the character designs and the synopsis, I almost DIDN'T want to watch....I'm glad I decided to change my mind. Speak for yourself. Those things where part of the attractions this anime had for me. Well, I mean that the characters looked very cutesy and the synopsis was pretty generic. I never would've imagined that this anime would have such great animation, great music, and an interesting story. So far, this is my favorite anime of the season, I hope it keeps getting better. |
| Very much doubt Sayaka dies within the next few episodes or at the very least, not permanently. She IS the one narrating the last few lines in the elevator in past tense confirming that the shit does indeed hit the fan, but unless she's telling the story from the afterlife or dies and gets resurrected, whatever happens probably won't kill her. She may die later though, given how both she and Mami are conspicuously absent from Madoka's premonition dream in ep.1. |
| I can't believe this episode has so many comments already. I haven't even watched it yet. I have to admit though, I feel tense as it begins. And anything that could be a distraction is off. |
| Damn. Looks like Mami is staying dead :( This is shaping up to be the Neon Genesis of the magic girl genre. |

Redfoxoffire said: Well you are behind, OP single is out and I have it. It's rather good but I find the ED is more grabbing my attention. And where's mah OP/ED single? cr1msonambience said: I was thinking of the reason as being possibly this but it will only be the Magical Girls faults themselves for fighting each other. They should instead cooperate (they could share the Grief seed since it can have more than one charge to purify their Soul Gems for example) and looks like Mami tried doing that. Guess what? Kyubey certainly did not like the idea at all so he ended that plan. I think Kyubey knows the last enemy and most likely he will not let lots of Magical Girls make it, because it's obvious that he knows the last enemy needs at least 2 or more Magical Girls to defeat it. That's only IMO.She may die later though, given how both she and Mami are conspicuously absent from Madoka's premonition dream in ep.1. |
Daidragon1990 said: Damn. Looks like Mami is staying dead :( This is shaping up to be the Neon Genesis of the magic girl genre. Dear lord, let's hope not... It's just whenever someone mentions NGE, all I can think about is episode 26... Anyways, it does look like this is totally going to be a MIND RAPE anime. |
| This anime is getting darker and darker as it goes on. Tbqh, I like it and dislike it at the same time. I'm just waiting for Kyosuke to get fucked up pretty soon. I like how Kyubey was right there in the hospital when Sayaka wanted to make the wish. Bastard just reeks of evil. |

DoubleDango said:  WTF?! That must be he never opens his mouth and always speaks telepathically. LOL |
| Practically most of the stuff I wanted to say was already been said. Other than that, this anime seriously reminds me of Yume Nikki for some reason. |

| Man i cannot wait for the soundtrack for this to come out, LOVED the music during Madoka's self-pity rant in the Witch World, and speaking of that i ADORED the Witch World this time around, very colorful |
| I actually think that those weird creatures which attacked Madoka are familiars, because they were way too weak to be so easily defeated by Sayaka who is a complete rookie with her powers and at witch hunting at this point. I think they'll go for the actual witch next week with Kyoko to come in and make a mess of things. More about this episode here! |
| This episode was extremely good, I can't describe how terrified I was during the entire episode. Someone need to add 'horror' genre in this series. Or, even more people will get trolled. This is, possibly since bakemonogatari, that Shaft's direction is actually working. Atomsphere is so dark and creepy, it's not even mahou shoujo anymore, it's now simply sci-fi thriller. Development within Sayaka's mind was so well toned, Madoka's psychological struggle was very realistic and relevant to the circumstance unlike most of other 'wanna-be psychological' themed animes. Kyoko's word-to-word and Kyuube's evilness was not just terrifying, it was unbearably disturbing even. |
| Great episode once again. This is shaping up to be a really awesome show. Needs next episode now. |

Nana-chii said: alexcampos said: Nanoha, Fate, or for that matter the entire cast of Sailor Moon being this serious... Then you weren't watching Nanoha very good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo-lZSp4oog Nanoha was SERIOUS BUSINESS. When she needed to be. OK, but it still wasn't this DARK... Seriously, it gives me chills seeing cute little girls being killed the way Mami was. But, I'm not complaining, I'm totally loving this Anime so far. |
| I have a feeling Madoka wont become a Mahou Shoujo until That scene at the start of the anime in her dream. The one where Homura was fighting by herself against a giant tree thing and it looked like she was losing. In that scene Madoka wasn't in a Mahou Shoujo costume so she may not of become one yet at that point. Also at the end of the scene Kyubey said "Form a contract with me and become a Mahou Shoujo!" Sucky thing is I have nooo idea when THAT may happen. It could be the very end or the middle of the series or even the next ep also we still don't even know how long the series will be!!! I will watch this series though even if it takes the whole show for Madoka to become a Mahou shoujo because its wayyy to interesting~ Great episode though!!! Love Sayakas costume and the new girl looks nice even if she becomes a Antagonist. I LOVEEE those anime characters that have the pointed tooth omg its sooo cool! |
| I'm not sure why, but I couldn't stop smiling when I saw that Sayaka made a contract....mabye because she looked pretty badass...but yea, I can't wait to see her kick some more ass, anime needs more female knights, their damn cool :P.... and Kyubei being right there when all that went down with Sayaka was seriously creepy o.O |
| very good all round ep. |
 |
| It's so good to have a series to really look forward to again! This ep was great all around! |
| Ohoho, Kyubey is such the manipulator. It was probably him that made Kyousuke snap. |

alexcampos said: I got interested after reading that when Kajiura was reading the script, she got so into it that she missed her train stop. Combined with the seiyuu who were involved, it was easy to give it a chance. Although I had to pause again when I saw the star in the show's name. Also, it didn't hurt that it was arguably the first show to come out this season.Well, I mean that the characters looked very cutesy and the synopsis was pretty generic. I never would've imagined that this anime would have such great animation, great music, and an interesting story. |

| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| okay.. what's next? Sayaka dies? lol I wonder Kyouko is as strong as Homura, or maybe stronger? X9 edit: took the courtesy to delete the signature out of your post, and added it to the designated space. |

| Yay, Sayaka! ♥ Whenever Kyubey talks, he gives me bad vibes. It's like he telling us that he's evil. Burn, Kyubey, BUUUURRRRN. War next episode? Can't wait! |
eizeral said: 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. I think theres a high possibility that we wont see Madoka becoming a Mahou Shoujo. In Faust, Gretchen was saved by "God" because she resisted Mephistos temptations and chose death over freedom in the end. |
| Wow, now this was really something else from what I watch everyday...and the troublesome thing is that one way or another, I really like the show. |
| Good job Shaft. Overall, it is currently the best episode, because this time it was not only the alternative world that was interesting. |
