was I supposed to understand what was happening during this thing?

If you don't have ADHD and can pay attention during the movie then it's not that hard to understand.

>>149736936
and you had to have been paying pretty close attention to the TV anime too

>>149735739
>Homura does nothing wrong
>Kyouko is no longer homeless
>Sayaka is less of a bitch
>Madoka is a happy girl with friends
>Mami is a lolicon
>Nagisa lives off Mami cheese
Something like that

>>149738513
but i thought madoka was a god and was therefore dead

im so lost ;-;

Anyone else they wish they milked this rather than -gatari? Gatari is just a bunch of immature sex jokes, and this on the other hand was truly something special. I didn't care much for the battles at hand and surely they could've improved but I think it's actually good.

I think you should watch the last half hour of it again, friend.

And Kyubey is blameless once again.

Homura fucked everything up because she's a psychotic dyke.

>>149735739
they literally explain everything that's going on in dialogue.
I like both this and the original series but anyone who paints it as some cerebral and obscure narrative is fucking retarded, they sit down and explain each plot point every time

Kyubey trapped Homura's soul gem in some kind of mini-universe-science-barrier-thing, in order to see if he can observe/capture/enslave goddess Madoka and bring witches back for moar energy.

7/10 film ruined by its narrative relation to the naruto of anime

>>149739910
>the naruto of anime
wouldn't that be naruto?

>>149739910
Don't you mean the Evangelion of anime?

>>149735739
It is explained half way through

>>149735739
Nope.

Rebellion is primarily an otaku-pandering cashgrab. It's priority to tell interesting story with interesting characters is way below that.

>madoka magica franchise

basically Homu ruins everything in a insane need to control madoka who was happy being god

>>149740384
how did they pander at all? I found literally zero fanservice moments even were those would naturally fit in with the story. in fact they did their best to keep out the fanservice probably to sell more overseas

>>149740801
You must be blind then.
>Charlotte being Mami's friend
>Mami vs. Homura fight
>Sayaka + Kyouko relationship
>Kyubei getting fucked up
Those are the most obvious from top of my head. Rebellion is as if Shinbo read the fan's wishlist and tried to adapt everything on it.

>>149740585
this. Homura did everything wrong and there is no evidence at any point in the movie or series that shows that Madoka was unhappy with her role as the Law of Cycles. She just couldn't accept that that is what her friend wished for; she couldn't let go.
