Considering the uproar that is the Puella Magi Madoka Magica franchise and the fact that it just ended last week, it’s no surprise that this past weekend was dominated by conversation about the finale and what it meant both as a show and to anime in general. Pre-orders are astonishing not just for the Blu-Rays, [...]

People who think Madoka is SODEEP are astutely inadequate and should seek immediate enlightenment on story comprehension and analysis to discern between intellectual anime and pretentious drivel. The next time you come across a Madoka discussion, look at the responses and the asinine enthusiasm that accompany it. Most of the respondents have blatant misspellings in [...]

Never has that phrase carried that much weight It has been a surprisingly hard thing to actually make myself sit down and start writing about the Madoka Magica finale over the past few days since it aired. Partially due to IRL concerns (job skipped out two months of my pay, company melting down), partially due [...]

So, my final (I hope) Madoka post will be this, which is spoiler-free. This is mainly for archiving so that when someone actually wants to watch Madoka in the future, they won't be spoiled immediately. The plot is a huge element for an anime like Madoka; my hope is the anyone about to watch it won't get spoiled beforehand so they get the full enjoyment from it. Anyway, random blurb aside, time

In a lot of ways, we knew exactly what to expect from Puella Magi Madoka Magica before the first episode even aired. The story was a closely guarded secret and the previews were only stills of the characters and a few random lines of dialogue with the opening theme in the background. But several other things stuck out. Shinbo had directed several [...]

According to Kyubey, who doesn’t seem to have the power to refuse her, her wish violates the laws of karma and essentially turns her into a goddess. Although Homura views this as a defeat, Madoka reassures her that this is not the [...]

Walpurgis Night has finally come… Armageddon is finally here! Or is it? When I have watched the final episodes with three other people in the blogosphere, it felt like a coincidence that the final episodes of Madoka Magica have been aired on Good Friday. Considering that there are various religious backdrops of Christianity and Buddhism [...]

Homu Homu is still the best character in the series. I guess it's time to tackle all the big questions this series left us with. There were many things people found unclear about the episode and the general different direction the ending took. Quite obviously, this will be spoiler-ific, so you have been warned. Church of Google > Church of Madoka I'll start with what is probably the most
