Madoka MagicaSlowly closing in on the end of this anime. Can clearly see it this episode as everything is spiraling together for the big climax. Homura's character seems very inconsistent. She had a break down last episode but quickly became full cold again. Makes you question the random break in composure last episode. At least we finally learn why she warms up to Sayaka so quickly. Her change of character seemed to be inconsistent but this episode does cure most of it. Spoiler: I found this very very very hard to swallow. For someone that says he doesn't have emotions and can't understand the value of humans, he sure is good at manipulating the girls to do his bidding. Seems more like he understands them perfectly.The whole alien thing seems to start to span genres a bit. Starting branch a little far and might make this series a bit bad if they expand on it. Would make more sense that he is lying since he has shown that he can do that.Guess should expand on Kyouko since she was pretty important this episode. Her death was unnecessary to beat Sayaka but she choose to die so that Sayaka didn't have to die alone. She felt she was too similiar to her combined with the realization of the destiny of all magic girls probably leaves a sour taste. No reason to keep living as a puppet for Kyuubey's master plan when you can go out with a bang? It is why she tried so hard to turn Sayaka back from a witch, realized it was a failure and accepted her fate and chose to end it all. To bad her death was part of the master plan. I think in the end, Madoka will end up turning into a magic girl. Her only other choice would be to watch Homura fall before her which I doubt she would let happen. Would also set up for a season 2 for the anime if they chose to do that instead of wrapping up.Either way, hard to give a solid feedback other then I like the progress so far. Hard to say as this can still go anywhere based on how it ends. Story based animes really rely on that strong ending to bring it home. Case point: Chaos;Head. I loved it leading up then it went to shit near the end, sigh sigh. And this episode did open up that can of worms that something retarded could happen.......~Pearz
