This must be one of the worst post I have ever wrote. For the record, I blame sleep deprivation. Big Damn Heroes Moment My brain farted after watching this episode. Thoughts delayed thanks to Earthquake and Chinese prelim exams in school. I really watched this on Friday and spent about 1 hour trying to solve [...]

Will you kill someone you love, because of love? At first, it was hard for me to relate these words — these theme words — to Madoka Magica. However, as feelings of desperation (not really despair yet, IMO) seem to be running rampant through all of the important characters of the show (even Kyubey shows [...]

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 [...]

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica continues to deliver excellence with every episode with the tenth bringing us more material to discuss. SPOILERS APLENTY! The latest in our list is Homura’s ability to control time. Her fans should probably be head over heels in love with Homura’s character by now. However, some people don’t seem to understand [...]

Why does Homuhomu episode has to be on the earthquake and tsunami day? Anyways #prayforjapan. Back to topic: Madoka episode 10 was Homuhomu's time to shine. Her moe side was introduced and how much she experienced the loop and how she transformed to her "cool and composed" self. I liked how they made it somewhat the same with Higurashi and Umineko, the mindf*ck was it's selling factor (I wonder why Endless Eight was not as successful). Homura-chan has to repeat the same sh*t all over and over again. She improved and learned a lot but seeing the other time lapse scenes, the same thing happens. Mami-chan still dies, Sayaka still turns to a witch, Kyouko still dies whichever way. And Madoka, she's still crying. Madoka turns to a witch in some time variants. And Homura gets to kill her once. With the last 2 episode in front of us, we all wonder if Homuhomu gets to do her mission successfully or does she have to repeat the endless cycle all over again. BTW Homura-chan is not the cat. What were we thinking?! XD

I ran into this short but entertaining game. It’s quite a small .zip file so download away! You can play as Mami, Sayaka or Kyouko as you go through either Gertrud or Charlotte’s barrier. If I were given a choice of a favorite charater to play in this one, I guess it’ll have to be [...]

I certainly hope this will remain a parody, but if it does happen, I think I might just fly to Japan to watch it when it opens. ©2011 Kurogane's Anime Blog. All Rights Reserved..

Madoka Magica has the perfect one-two combo to utterly tank with its ending. Firstly, a large part of the shows [...]

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 [...]

I didn’t find enough time to reply to the comments in my first Madoka Magica post and there’ve been so many plot twists and food for thought since then I feel I need to say more about it. The fan … Continue reading →

The recap of episode 9 can be found here. Ladies and gentlemen,put your hands together for Homura Akemi, the moe highschool girl! Now, since this is a mahou shoujo anime, she has to have some special power right? Uhh, no. But her friends, Kamane Madoka,  Tomoe Mami and Miki Sayaka , are all magical girls who have the ability to defeat witches. And so proceeds Homura's normal nerd life, with the one exception that all her friends die before her eyes, one after the other. Huh? Welcome to the time loop. ~Read more...

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? Forget that, all I did was plan complete and utter Pokemon world domination with Bass; nothing you need to know about.  LET’S GET THIS STARTED. What is this [...]

    So apparently when I decided that no matter what I would not be surprised by the designs of the witches in this show, I spoke too soon because never did I imagine we’d get a witch that can shoot LEGS OUT OF IT’S ASS! It’s been really fun lately reading all of the [...] Related posts:Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica 09 Kuragehime 7 Ookami-san 4

Lately I have been fascinated with Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Madoka Magica takes a darker approach to the classically fluffy Mahou Shoujo genre. Each episode of this Faustian story is incredibly intense and thought-provoking. In particular, I found Kyubey and … Continue reading →

This week’s episode is actually a re-cap of Homura’s past which [...]

Holy crap, what an episode. We’ve finally gotten to Homura’s past and BY GOD is is awesome. This may be because I really like the kinds of series that deal with alternative dimensions, but the reason I love the stories like this is because they really allow creators to show different ways for characters to develop [...]
