How come, after 8 years, Madoka is still a relevant show? Was

It was just exceptionally good and passed most people's expectations

>8 years
Do you need me to teach you how to count?

>>158799553
No, just incredibly well marketed. Shaft and Urobuchi went in for the long con with Madoka and it paid off in spades.

>>158799553
>pretty good show
>appealed to especially autistic fans for some reason who spam it a lot
>new movie possibly sometime soon

Basically just a perfect storm

Not really, it's just anything remotely good will be talked about because of how stagnant the industry is.

I mean, we still have threads about Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop which are both over 18 years old.

I don't think it's especially relevant anymore. It's been 4 years since the last installment, and there hasn't been any news on the franchise for a long time. I think a lot of fans will have lost interest by the time they ever come around to continuing the franchise.

There are still threads on the daily though

>>158801763

a lot of the fanbase (specially artists) moved on to franchises like im@s and love live
kinda sad that madoka became a pachinko franchise

Homura>Mami>Kyouko>Madoka>Sayaka

You can not refute this

>>158801897
Nah, for a handful of months not too long ago there were no Madoka threads on /a/ for a while. Then an insane shitposter showed up and started making multiple a day for "reasons".

>>158801897

no actual discussion, just the same group of tripfriends reposting crack and porn

I just did.

>>158801897
Compare the threads from today to the threads for 2011-2014. Now it's just a small number of frequent posters bickering over the same tired topics. Also, the people who browse this board doesn't represent the anime community as a whole.

I gonna be honest, I'm starting to see Anti Crack Kuns point of view. He may be insane, and really fucking annoying, but he might be right.

Stop making off topic low quality posts that have nothing to do with the Madoka series. Stop trying so hard to bait people and ruin threads.

It's fanbase are a bunch of autistic morons who are incapable of letting anything go. Madoka is dead.

In fairness, it is one of the best shows ever made.

Madoka threads on this board though are pure cancer

I don't like Homura as a character, nor do I respect the intelligent opinion of anyone who finds her interesting in any sort of way or fashion because she, Homura, is a poorly written excuse for a edgy second protagonist in an already dull series.
Also Mami is the best.

>>158799553
The cute girls add to the longevity of the series. Also you get retards every now and then who couldn't understand Rebellion or something and strike up a discussion.

>>158802878
If the last movie stars Mami like that preview suggests I want it though

A bunch of very autistic fucktards posting their cancerous generals doesn't make it relevant.

It is a great anime

Image has no relation to TDS. And no, it's almost irrelevant.
>>158802646
TDS was a mistake.

>>158799553
It's far from being "still relevant", /a/ just refuses to let go.

>>158806235
How so? TDS was nice.

Mami and Kyouko definitely love each other.

Stop shitposting. Stop reporting the same off topic images all the time. Stop trying to bait people.

Maybe. I think rebellion might have shattered the fandom though. Still, Madoka was like #3 in that top 100 anime of all time poll a couple months ago.

>>158801763
The anime inspired a lot of doujins and crazy fan works. I think they were trying to generate that kind of interaction again with rebellion, but I'm not sure it worked out.

>>158809599
I think Rebellion did take a bit from those doujins, given they decided to make Homura actually be in love with Madoka instead of it just being a platonic friendship, and tried to ship Sayaka and Kyouko as well like many doujins did.

What?

rebellion legit made me lose my interest in madoka

>>158809998
Just how you lost interest in pussy, faggot.

>>158809707
Homura was already in love with Madoka. Going through and destroying so many time lines, helping create a witch that destroys the world all for one girl is not normal friend feelings. Also no doujin depicted Homura turning into a demon.

And the anime already shipped Kyouko and Sayaka. Sayaka trying so hard to prove to Kyouko she can be justice meguca, Kyouko becoming obsessed with Sayaka, carrying her body around trying to bring her back, and in the end sacrificing herself so Sayaka would not be alone. In rebellion Sayaka just acknowledges this stuff happened.

I was hoping they'd have a little more chemistry in TDS.

>>158810613
>Homura was already in love with Madoka.
There is no proof of said statement anywhere in the main Madoka series proper.

>And the anime already shipped Kyouko and Sayaka.
They tried to kill each other the first time. And there was no hint of any romantic feeling from either at any point.

Good thing they kissed.

>>158810748
>They tried to kill each other the first time.
False, Kyouko just wanted to bully Sayaka. Sayaka's quick recovery from her blow is what pissed her off and drove her to fight serious.
And there was no hint of any romantic feeling from either at any point.
Kyouko's were present when Sayaka reminds her of her old self and the stories where love and courage triumph she believed in.
But really, episode 9 aside. What sky-rocketed the pair was their character duet song.

>>158810952
Why not? Madoka is not a Yuri series.

>>158811072
It's not, but it has elements. And mainly love and suffering seems to be the driving force of the story.

>>158799553
Maguka existed in 2009?

>>158799553
>Was it ahead of its time?

The ending was Akira. Just that it came out of a poorly developed Mary Sue. The show isn't deep at all.
Oh, and the character design isn't cute. Shaft has alot to learn from Kyoani.

Are you kidding me? Madoka is strong as ever m8

>>158799553

I more or less feel like it left an impact due angst + animation + the sheer yuri

My friends are fans but are more into Hero Academia these days.

I remember attempting to make some crossover fanfic detailing how Link (Majora's Mask) would end up meeting Homura and Kaworu (Evangelion) through time travel
