Last episode, we found out Homura came back in time to stop Kyuubey from making a contract with Madoka. I accepted that readily, but it didn’t quite answer the question why Homura was so hellbent on saving Madoka and being a lot more serious concerning Madoka’s contract. Why was she so desperately trying to stop [...]

After last week’s sorta meh episode, we get another Madoka of awesomeness! This time, we get to see how Homura came to be a mahou shoujo. Apparently in the original timeline, Mami and Madoka became partners (since Homura wasn’t there to delay Madoka becoming a Meguka, which probably led to a Madoka/Mami assist on the [...]

In this episode SHAFT takes a play from Higurashi’s book and looks at the possible futures Homura has gone through and her transformation from someone even less decisive than Madoka into a total badass. The contact lenses and stolen weapons helped too. It turns out that shotguns are stronger than magic wands, even if you’re [...]

Long Synopsis The episode rewinds all the way back to the very beginning. That is, to the very first original timeline when Homura had yet to become a Puella Magi. Unlike the Homura we know, she’s a complete klutz who … Continue reading →

Most of you should know that Kyoko is no longer with us after she faceed a battle with Sayaka who became a witch. Kyoko is one of my favorite characters in Madoka Magica since she is strong willed and kind in the inside. Therefore, I want to give a tribute to Kyoko for being kind [...]

「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.

Spoilers ahead, if you haven’t watched this episode, then you probably shouldn’t be reading this. “I Can’t Depend on Anyone Anymore” is a game changer, literally. We get to see a different side of Homura, if you read my impressions last week; nothing from this episode will shock you. It’s so similar to my theory; [...]

Episode 10 – I Can’t Depend on Anyone Anymore – もう誰にも頼らない (Mou Dare ni mo Tayoranai) Oh hell yes, this is exactly what I’ve been waiting for, and with top notch production quality to boot. For the longest time, we’ve known almost nothing about Homura’s past, which is why I’m so glad this episode went [...]

After the trial and tribulations of the past couple of episodes, this tenth instalment of Puella Magi Madoka Magica opens with a surprisingly mundane scene - Akemi Homura, stood in front of the class at school.  Except her hair is different.  She's wearing classes.  She's introduced as a brand-new transfer student. That's right everybody, we've now jumped back in time to the very beginning of

They should just rename this show to Commando Girl Homura Magica already. Moemura! There are quite a number of epic shows, but rare is the one that manages to transcend that to the annals of legendary. SHAFT promised a lot for this episode, and oh boy did they deliver on that promise. And more. And [...]

I Have Absolutely No Regrets We start with Miki, she’s super happy, no regrets. Her boyfriend, or whatever he is, is doing fine, happy, and apologizes for his behavior. Madoka still feels a little weird, like she should become a Magical Girl for Mami’s sake or something. The development with Madoka trying to help Miki is [...]

I waited for YESY subs before making this post. QB isn't so evil after all. He's just trying to help save the universe through killing a magical girl one at a time. Episode 9 leaves us with Madoka with a slim chance of being a magical girl, who wants to die for the universe anyway? Though re-watching episode 1, Madoka becoming a magical girl isn't a far-fetched idea after all. Kyouko sacrificed herself in a futile attempt to save Sayaka, thus a 3rd magical girl in this series killed in action. Leaving Homu-chan in a pinch, she can't handle the Walpurgis Night alone. It's a big-boss that requires at least two experienced or talented magical girls. Though anything can happen in each episode and we still have 3. We can speculate all we want and everyone will sure miss Kyouko. Just as we've missed Mami-chan. Thinking about it, did somebody miss Sayaka? XD

So, for the couple of weeks, everytime I login to animenano, I'm flooded with Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica stuff. MSMM this, MSMM that. The episodic posts are not a problem because I'm one of them. But God have mercy, this show is gaining quite a bit of attention from the intellectual audeience. So, what all this ruckus about? ~Read more...

���人◕ ‿‿ ◕人��� Konnichiwa, Mikuites! When Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika was first announced, I expected something along the line of a cutesy, slice-of-life anime like Hidamari Sketch with a bit of a magical spin. I couldn’t have been more wrong. … Continue reading →
