The reveals are coming hard and fast now, and the one in this episode somehow managed to top everything else so far. It was a move that many had predicted from the start, and a perhaps disappointingly convenient tool for explaining Homura’s story up to now. Still, the episode was filled with solid action and [...]

Summary: This episode traces Homura’s past, from her first meeting with Madoka in an alternate timeline to where she is now. I don’t want to spoil it for you; it’s a very emotional episode, so I recommend that you watch it one your own. Sometimes these summaries seem a bit silly since I’m sure everyone [...]

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU- I had heard this was going to be one of those WHAM episodes where serious shit goes down, but man….Some serious shit went down. Introduction paragraph?

「もう誰にも頼らない」 (Mou Darenimo Tayoranai) "I can't depend on anyone anymore" Well, I can honestly say that I didn’t see any of that coming. I know that we just learned about Homura’s ability to stop time, but I never thought that she would have the ability to travel back through time. I suppose the notion that she’s someone from the future isn't entirely incorrect, but it's not like she has a future to return or anything.
