Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Most people will tell you yes. It's my personal favourite though.

I like Rebellion the best of the 3, but they're all really good.

Yes as we could see large guns reaching to a German styled railway gun in Rebellion. She even conjured a magic pistol in hanokage spin off IIRC.

>>144775271
Oh, yes. I'd forgotten her "tiro finale". I still don't understand why conjure mostly muskets, tho.

>there will never be another anime as epic as Madoka

>>144775800
PSP game reasoning: her power is his ribbons. One day she was unable to save a boy from being eaten by a witch because she didn't have any long range weapons. After that day she trained to create a long range weapon using her ribbons. She ended up choosing to create muskets because repeating fire arms were too complex for her to put together using ribbons and magic.

>inb4 some faggot says non-canon

The PSP game explanation can be assumed canon because it doesn't at all conflict with the story and Urobuchi supervised and worked on the writing staff for the project.

>>144776721
*her power is her ribbons

End of Evangelion?

>>144775882
To be fair, Rebellion was usurped by idolshit and CGDGT in tanks. It's not like it was usurped by something equal or greater than in actual quality.

Also why the fuck are you counting the first two movies when they're literally just recaps of the anime?

>>144775061
Yes. Her inherent power is creating ribbons.

Guns are something she taught herself to create by studying their schematics, not something that she has the ability to summon naturally.

Rebellion was a mistake. A gorgeous eye-candy mistake, but a mistake nonetheless.

Hell yes Homura did wrong.

>>144775800
>>144776721
They have rifled barrels so they technically aren't muskets.

>>144780677
I think it's a bit early to judge Rebellion on it's end with the second half still being worked on.
but the Colorful montage makes it all worth it anyways

There will be a fourth movie, hang in there.

With Mami as the main character.

>>144787855
Mami is a fucking slut. She doesn't deserves the spotlight

>>144787888
She isn't the hero we deserve, but the one we need. Homura is the villain. Literally "Or you die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain".

Do you seriously believe this bullshit? And Mami isn't a hero, she literally wanted to kill all of her friends, she is a nasty girl.

I don't think Homura did anything wrong because she suceeded in securing the existence of the girls and a good future for them.

It wasn't part of her original plan, but she did destroy the law of the cycles. None of the magical girls will survive in this new world that Homura made. Who is going to stop the witches from coming? Homura needs to die.

Madoka is good and all, but rebellion took something that wasn't broken and tried to fix it, thus ruining it.
Disappearance is best anime movie.

>>144788133
>she literally wanted to kill all of her friends
it was definitely the right move, though
maybe she lost her head a bit but she was going down the right path

>>144788218
The law exists still, she just took Madoka out of it.
Did you even watch the movie?

>None of the magical girls will survive in this new world that Homura made.
How so?
>Who is going to stop the witches from coming?
There are no witches 'cept for Homura.

>>144788319
You madman. It wasn't though, why end it there?

>>144788431
First reply to
>>144788218

>>144788431
>It wasn't though
Mami exists to fight witches
magical girls inevitably become witches
since witches exist and aren't totally wiped out by the existence of magical girls, we can only assume witches are powerful enough that girls don't have that great of a success rate
therefore killing a magical girl before the cheese goes and slides of their cracker is of equal use to eradicating witches as destroying a single witch

>>144788364
>Did you even watch the movie?
I have the movie opening here. Where does it say without Madoka, the law of the cycle will keep going?

>>144788637
*Opened here

I still listen to the madoka OST's almost everyday. It's so good.

>>144788133
she's more of an anti-hero than a villain since her intentions aren't necessarily evil. just a classic case of the road to hell being paved with good intention.

>>144788634
You eradicate witches to reduce entropy.
Is that still accomplished by killing magical girls?
Kyuubei made it sound as though witches had much greater entropy reducing potential when he gave that huge exposition to Homura

>>144788637
When Sayaka is flipping her shit about Homura ending the law of the cycle.
Homura responded to the effect of "Relax, I only took a piece of it."

>>144788717
Mami didn't know any of the entropy stuff in any timeline.
even if she did, none of them seem to care about the entropy stuff much, given that they are dedicated to eradicating witches and all

>>144788774
And? Madoka was an integral part of it. Who's going to absorb the mahou shoujo's despair now?

>>144788824
Homura didn't seem to think so, since she assured Sayaka everything would be fine.

>>144788634
this is actually wrong. assuming your 3rd point is correct, the mathematically perfect solution would be to cull weaker magical girls that cannot kill a certain amount of witches until you develop an equilibrium between the spawn rate of witches and the birth of decently strong magical girls. you won't want to kill all magical girls because you won't have any way to deal with leftover witches and you don't want to kill too many weaker magical girls because we know that stronger magical girls turn into stronger witches, so it would only make sense to have a constant supply of decently strong witches to purify the stronger magical girls' soulgems.

>>144788824
Seeing as how Homura rewrote the universe it doesn't seem too far fetched to make Madoka's wish a law of the universe without sacrificing Madoka for it.

>>144788824
Isn't QB doing it now?

>>144788942
>>144788634
Let's just think about this rationally for a second:
Mami panicked after learning magical girls became witches. She didn't want her friends to turn into despair pumping machines.
It was a spur of the moment decision she thought would be best for her and her friends and the world in the long run.

>>144788997
no, they don't know how the fuck it works
hence why they had Homura pickled and under observation

>>144772529
Oriko OVA when?

>>144788824
From the looks of it, QB is absorbing the despair now.

>>144789141
Then Homura rewrote the laws of the universe.
QB is doing whatever Homura assigned him to.

>>144788824
Homura controls it with the part of the LoC in her earring. Thought it was pretty obvious that's what the gem was considering she stated she pulled a fragment of the LoC out.

Concept movie makes it even more clear.

>>144789285
>concept movie
did they ever release it?

>>144789073
I think the best solution here would be to put each girl on a points system
Keep a corps of aces around, farming out the weaker ones as easily killed witches for their gems. This keeps the pros alive.
Once witches start dwindling, put the pros on a points system, killing them without letting them turn. Once it's down to one girl, suicide.
Even if there's a witch or two left it's better than status quo

>>144789418
There's two versions of concept movies out so far. One of them has a shitty camrip on youtube, but none of them have been shown outside of screenings. Both versions of the concept movie will be released on BD in October. Hopefully we'll get some more information on the project then too.

>>144789603
>two version
Please elaborate

>>144789669
There's this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chC7EkI_tzg
Then there's another concept movie that got screened at Madogatari. Here is a thread with some pictures: http://walpurgischan.net/meduka/res/10814.html

>There are people who actually believe this.
>Demon is literally a self-imposed title
>Gives everyone a pefect life
>Takes on burden of god
>Literally 0 chance doubt Madoka won't forgive her
>Theme of next movie is Swan Lake

I'm doubting Homura even does anything beyond kicking Sayaka and Mami (not that anyone will care) around a bit before a plot device allows Madoka to get through to her..

>>144790259
>>Gives everyone a pefect life
>Sayaka isn't with kyousuke

I stopped reading right there. Homuralogists are delusional.

>>144788824
You do realize that Madoka was detached from the Law of Cycles throughout the entirety of Rebellion by going into Homura's barrier, right? If the Law of Cycles functioned during that month or so period, there's no reason to believe it doesn't function now.

>>144790681
We could argue that time pass differently inside Homura's maze.

They all do. I don't expect or really want some sugar sweet happy ending, but I hope Butcher will give them an ending that they will be happy with.

>>144788717
No, the largest release of energy comes in the moment a magical girl transforms into a witch. What happens to the witch after that is largely irrelevant.

>>144772767
>>144772814

>>144790259
>>Gives everyone a pefect life

Butcher is done with Rebellion. Your unconfirmed sequel is a delusion.

>>144797057
>unconfirmed sequel
This fucking guy

>>144796981
A life she knows everyone is happier with.

Pay attention to Mami's words saying that she's happier than she could have ever imagined. How Kyouko wishes for a happy dream and that is exactly what she gets. How Urobuchi confirms that Sayaka will never be happy as long as Kyousuke is in the picture. How Madoka has her own character song where she sings about how lonely she is as a goddess and in this new world she is together with her family and friends.

The only unhappy person is arguably Homura, however, even Homura got her wish granted of having the capacity of being strong enough to protect Madoka's happiness.

The utena spiral too.

In general the TV version is just superior, even if the visual quality is lower at times.

I guess I should give the fancut a try.

>>144800811
I hope you haven't been rewatching the broadcast version. The BDs are improved all around.

The fancuts are fairly good if you can get by the somewhat jarring transitions to the scenes that aren't in the movies.

>>144800811
I think I like the OST better in the movies too. The TV series were great too, but I like how they're going with pretty much only one scene per track, and how every major witch gets her own theme song.
