I mean, the series is about the birth and ascension of a god(dess).

I remember that - the timing both for the finale and the earthquake was almost funny (what with all the destruction that happened in Mitakihara) and then the 'fixed' timing happening on Good Friday was just ridiculously coincidental.

Tragic or not, those /a/ threads during the earthquake/tsunami were some of the funniest time I've had on this site

"Don't cheat on me, Homura-chan!"

From a practical standpoint, I think Madoka would support short term KyoHomu as it would take both Homura and Kyoko's mind off their pain.

MadoHomu still the most beautiful even under the worst conditions tho

Wasn't it written somewhere in canon that Sayaka was Madoka's first love, or that she saw Sayaka as her prince or something? Am I just imagining this?
>>
>>2018468
You're imagining things.
>>
>>2018468
There is a flash back in TDS where it shows how their friendship started. Sayaka protects Madoka from some bullies when they were in elemtary school, but it is NOT romantic at all.
>>
>>2018474
but you forgot about the part right after that where they 'practice' kissing eachother just so they can 'see what its like'.
...

..... or am I just imagining this?
>>
>>2018466

True, but in a way that's a lot closer for them then 'friends'. They trust each other not to be shit-for-brains, agree that all the others are fucking idiots.

Plus they understand each other. Homura doesn't try and tell Kyouko to give up on Sayaka because she's doing the same damn thing for Madoka. The shared motives open up a lot of interesting character dynamics. And pre-rebellion, with Sayaka dead and Madoka away? I can see them getting along better then either of them with Mami.

More of a BrOTP, true, but depending on how sexually open you see different characters, no reason they can't make meaningful connections.

I definitely see this - they're not entirely different, at least not once Kyoko begins to stop being such a stubborn bitch.

Homu going straight to Kyoko first in Rebellion can add a little something to this too, although she spells that out right away with the whole "you're totally different than I remember" thing.

It fits her MO from the series too. Mami or Sayaka? Stalkerish to make sure they don't fuck up. Kyouko? "Yo bro, lets talk biz"

Kyouko and Homura respect each others space, and just generally respect each other. It's an interesting dynamic not anywhere else in the series, although TDS shows some Kyouko/Mami respect, kinda.

>Kyouko and Homura respect each others space, and just generally respect each other. It's an interesting dynamic not anywhere else in the series

It may come from the fact that, in all of the timelines we see in the original series, Kyouko never seems to be doing anything shitty to Homura or Madoka.

She's the unfortunate victim of a despaired Mami, she dies to Oktavia/Sayaka at least twice, and unlike Sayaka she isn't stayed to die in every single eventuality - but we don't see her being antagonistic at all until the anime timeline with Sayaka, and she's pretty buddy-buddy with Mami in TDS

Homu may not like her (Homu may not like anyone who isn't Madoka - herself included) but at the very least there's a mutual respect and trust that she doesn't have with the other girls
>>
>>2018491
I can see Kyouko and Homura having sex with each other as practice before doing it with their partners to make sure they can give the best possible sexual experience for them.

And then-
"How come you're so good at this?"

I can't see Homura ever choosing someone else over Madoka, but I could see Kyouko flirting with her if they met during earlier time loops. Not in an overt way or anything (she's too innocent for that), but just unconsciously.
>>
>>2018495
I dunno, man. What Madoka and Sayaka likes might be totally different to what Homura and Kyouko like. It could easily lead to Homura being too rough on Madoka or something.

I'd read some stories/doujins about Homura and Kyouko bro-ing it up over their shared protection/obsession objects of interest.

>>2018504
I could go for some good ole fashioned bromance between Kyoko and Homura. To sorta mirror the thing that Sayaka and Madoka got.
>>
>>2018503
Homura and Kyouko practicing technique together and trying all kinds of positions to evaluate their viability.
You know how it can be a such downer when you experiment during sex and find out it doesn't work out.
>>
>>2018500

Well, With all the loops I can see Homura understanding polymory a bit, since Madoka just loves everyone too much. Being close to Kyouko in post-series isn't something Madoka would hate. It just depends on how sexual you see the different girls, If madoka can crush on Mami and Sayaka and Homura in different timelines depending on what happens, its easy to see the appeal of poly.
>>
>>2018508
But muh purity and being only with the girls they love

I wouldn't mind them talking to each other about it all, though. Sending each other potential toys to buy, sending crappy tutorials because they're young and don't understand, sending porn videos ("Hey, Homu, this chick looks like Madoka!")...
>>
>>2018504
Is there some where Kyouko and Homura fuck each other while Kyouko screams Sayaka's name and Homura likewise for Madoka while they both cry sad, bitter tears as they collapse in each other's arms while in the throes of orgasm?

Homura's got the kind of heart that changes destiny, that ain't no sub, more like the opposite. Kyouko is more of a tough girl with a soft center. I agree on Madoka, but /u/ always says Madoka is all about domination, so whatever.

Madoka isn't about domination, she's about acceptance, just like how she'll accept homu's tongue in her pussy in season 2.
>>
>>2018540
Non-final timeline Madoka was confident, self-sure, and fine with skinship, something we see bits of at different points. And she gains that back as Madokami anyway.

Domming certainly isn't out of the question, unless we stick only to the Madoka that was shy and lacking in confidence after all of those timeline changes

I think it's implied somewhere in the lore that Homura is only partially Japanese, and that she's only in Mitakihara to treat her heart defect, because apparently Mitakihara is a New York-tier cosmopolitan.

In my headcanon Homura is partially German, which explains why the witches have Germanic name.

Kind of to be expected when you think that Sayaka knows everything about the previous timelines, and has the knowledge of what Kyouko did for her. Hell, you don't even have to necessarily think of the hand holding scene as romantic (even if I think that was the intention), Sayaka is simply very touched and regretted the fact that she didn't have any time to bond with Kyouko. I don't see why people seem to think it's such a forced scene.
>>
>>2018953
I think it comes down to how canon you consider the supplementary material. The series really doesnt give us any indication that anyone outside of Madoka and Homura can really be friends, let alone lovers. But if you take the interactions (not the events) between charaters in the manga spin-offs and games, then KyoSaya is very easy to accept and MadoHomu may as well already be sleeping together.

Multiple spin offs in Kirara play up KyoSaya's rocky relationship from the series. You can only save Sayaka in the PSP game by shipping her with Kyoko (Urobuchi says she will never be happy as long as she pursues Kyousuke). If you consider Rebellion takes place in an idolized world very similar to the Homura gag route (minus idol star Mami), then you see that they can become very close under iseal circumstances in contrast to the shit ones in the series.

Battle Pentagram (which is awful) came after Rebellion and is pretty unambiguous with the max relationship statuses:

KyoSaya: Mutual love
MadoHomu: Person of Fate/Soul Mates
>>
>>2018971
I've deliberately avoided all supplementary materials and don't find Kyouko and Sayaka becoming friends (and more) hard to believe at all. Neither does Kyouko, who explicitly says they had become friends in the post-Madokami timeline.

Is this a contested point or something? I haven't been these threads much.

>>2018969

Regardless of whether it was romantic or platonic, it was still nice to see some mutual respect and friendship between them, when it's so prominent in fanworks and offshoots, but really only seen a little in the tv series. I think they have a good dynamic
>>
>>2018991
>Is this a contested point or something? I haven't been these threads much.

There are some people who unironically view KyoSaya hand holding scene as pandering fan service. But romantically or platonically, they are officially paired.

Kyoko wanted to be friends. Sayaka was militantly against it until moments before she died. She was also unconcerned about Kyoko in death as well. Death and Rebellion made it all possible.

Eh, in one of the timelines they spend the rest eternity just the two of them together in the afterlife.

By the way, I'm not really looking forward to the new project. It makes me fear for Kyousaya (as well as for Madohomu). But at the same time, I'd really like it if there was some closure. Eh, Rebellion's ending was just "too good" in my opinion, doesn't feel right to me.

>>2019000
The only reasons Sayaka doesn't want to be friends are ideological differences and later her deteriorated mental state rather than incompatible personalities. Once they are fixed, as happens after Madoka's ascension, Sayaka and Kyouko should easily become friends, both being outgoing and rowdy girls. Besides, there are moments of Sayaka being friendly to Kyouko, like before her transformation and the scene of Kyouko explaining her past.
>>
>>2019002
Unless they decide to just trash the story and the whole balance and selflessness vs selfishness thing they have going on, MadoHomu is safe. Neither Gen nor Shinbo think returning to the Law of Cycles is really a good thing and there would be no point in a continutation if they were just going to bastardize and kill an overwhelmingly popular protagonist. KyouSaya can be in danger because Gen thinks it's funny to make Sayaka suffer, but I think if this is the end, he won't do anything like that.

That's the whole problem though.

If you try to think around the intention of the scene by altering its meaning, then of course it's no longer going to feel forced. That doesn't change that it had that forced nature when taken as intended.

I think you're trying to look too hard into this. It doesn't take years, or even months, for two human beings to develop feelings for each other. Sayaka and Kyouko were together for that whole month. And not only that, with Sayaka being completely aware of all the previous timelines. Kyouko had at least a little bit of recollection of Sayaka dying on her which she experienced as something dreadful. Sayaka was already over Kyousuke when the anime finished airing. And during Rebellion, she doesn't even care for him anymore. And guess why that is? People move on. Nothing about it felt forced, nor did it come out of nowhere.
>>
>>2019024
Pretty much this. Kyouko is always immediately drawn to Sayaka, regardless of the timeline. Sayaka is a girl who desperately wanted to be loved. When she sees all those moments of various Kyoukos loving her, surely she's going to be at least intrigued.

>>2019024
He said that was his initial idea, but couldn't really move beyond that. Have you read the production notes? They don't even pass judgement on Homura.

Kyoko is only drawn to Sayaka if Sayaka becomes a magical girl.

80% of Madoka advertising involves MadoHomu. I know we want to believe anything can happen, but capitalism is a very strong force in the anime industry. Aniplex isn't going to turn down the ability to make the $300-500 1/8 scale Madokami-Homucifer reconciliation figure.
>>
>>2019002
>Eh, Rebellion's ending was just "too good" in my opinion, doesn't feel right to me.
Wasn't that kind of the point of the ending?

Homura takes it upon herself to grant everyone's wishes (Kyosuke's hand is fine), or at least make everyone happy and set things right, and she gets to be Madoka's eternal protector (so long as she doesn't decide to 'become Homura's enemy') and yet, Homura doesn't seem happy about it herself. That little tip off of the chair at the ending definitely helps hint at it, but so do a number of her actions after the final new universe is created.

in a way, I think the ambiguity over a number of things in the ending is good. If the new project works off of that and develops something, it'll be good. And if it doesn't, if it ignores it in favor of some AU business, then the ending still stands the way it is, and that's fine.

I mean in theory, Madoka will live to about 80, right? If anything, Homura's cursed herself to a guarenteed eternal loniliness.

>>2019055
>I mean in theory, Madoka will live to about 80, right? If anything, Homura's cursed herself to a guarenteed eternal loniliness.

It's fairly certain that she's going to 'wake up' far, far earlier than that. She might've been cut off from part of herself, but she's still a goddess and she's already shown hints at remembering the old 'verse.

I have a feeling that she'll humor Homu for a while, but at some point her selflessness and sense of duty will rule over her placidity (which was more or less the point of Homura's and Maoka's last conversation) and she'll rise up again. It's inevitable
>>
>>2019057
>I have a feeling that she'll humor Homu for a while, but at some point her selflessness and sense of duty will rule over her placidity.

That conversation where she had no memory and thought Homu was a creepy autist? I have issues with that because she said the exact opposite thing in the barrier when she told Homu she'd never do anything that would make her cry and that she wouldn't want to leave everyone.
>>
>>2019060
>I have issues with that because she said the exact opposite thing in the barrier when she told Homu she'd never do anything that would make her cry and that she wouldn't want to leave everyone.

She lacked her memories in Homura's barrier - they were given to Sayaka and Nagisa. She said that because she had no knowledge not only of the events that lead up to her decision to become a goddess, but also the knowledge she gained once she became a goddess.

It's like asking an amnesiac whether they would want to get into a car crash, and not telling them that they saved someone's life by swerving away into a tree.
>>
>>2019064

That was just her trying to sweet talk Homu into calming down so she could finally fuck her after a month of seduction.

Or, it just illustrates how pointless it is for Homura to try to find out what Madoka truly wants when she's asking versions of her that don't have enough information to make that call.

>>

>I'm well aware. My problem is they're both invalid answers because neither is informed.

Madoka had totally forgotten herself and her mission in the Homulily barrier, but it's safe to say that the final conversation was a bit different. She actively remembered bits and pieces, and from the beginning seemed to feel off about things. We can't know just how much she remembers, or how deep her feelings of "this isn't right" are, but it's a different situation, and certainly one that's less stable than the barrier situation
>>
>>2019073
No, after the molestation, she lost her memories again. Given no context and asked a vague question about order and desire iby a creepers is not a valid line of questioning. It's even worse considering she once again has no idea who Homura is.

She never had them back in the first place; she seemingly just had a terrible sense of 'something isn't right'. While she might not have been right enough in the head to answer Homura's question, Homura's response to her, Sayaka's memory alteration, and Madoka's near re-awakening point to a large posibility that Madokami will re-emerge.

This just isn't true.
Please don't forget that she starts tearing up, eyes quivering the second she sees him together with Hitomi at the end of Rebellion. She very clearly still has feelings for him.

I'm not saying it isn't possible for them to be friends, but the weird pseudo-romantic "I missed you so much!" scene in Rebellion really just felt like it was put there as service for shippers. Mami did several times the amount of supporting and being kind to Sayaka that Kyouko did, why is Sayaka so nonchalant (outright patronizing in Homura's case) towards them? Homura and Mami both got along better with, and fought alongside Kyouko, why doesn't she touchingly remember that Mami had died, or that Homura had been fighting alone for so long, and then continued to do so in the Madokami universe?

If nothing else, it's jarring that we're supposed to accept that, off-screen, two characters who don't get along until one's dying moments are now suddenly so connected and close.
>>
>>2019087

>>2019091
Not that anon, but...

>Nothing to change her feelings on Homura

I figure they just don't like each other. Sayaka is petty toward Homura the entire series and it would be within her character to be peeved that Homura was not only the good guy all along, but was also the largely responsible for the salvaltion she received at the end of the series.

>This just isn't true. Please don't forget that she starts tearing up, eyes quivering the second she sees him together with Hitomi at the end of Rebellion. She very clearly still has feelings for him.

She specifically states she is over Kyousuke in Homura's labrynth. We know she had her memories and she actively tries to be with Kyoko. Im not a fan of KyoSaya, but she cries after seeing Kyousuke and Hitomi because she thought she'd never see them again. She's seen playing with Kyoko in the last 5 seconds of the film.
>>
>>2019091
>Again, this does absolutely nothing to change her feelings towards Homura.
I'd argue that it did. She still talked about how bothersome Homura was, and how she was making it super hard for them to save her, but that she thought saving her was worth it.

I don't think anime-timeline Sayaka would do or feel the same at all.

>Please don't forget that she starts tearing up, eyes quivering the second she sees him together with Hitomi at the end of Rebellion. She very clearly still has feelings for him.
Kyousuke was alive and well - and dating Hitomi - in Homura's barrier as well, and Sayaka had all of her memories there too. Maybe I was seeing it wrong, but I saw that crying seen as her happiness that her wish was still true (his hand was fine again), despite the fact that the existence/usage of Magical Girls wasn't really 'confirmed' in Homura's new universe (the girls didn't have runes on their rings, IIRC).

And I believe she straight out implies that she's over him when she mentions "learning from experience" and maturing.
>>
>>2019091
>thinks Sayaka tearing up was because she has feelings for him even though she states out loud that she's happy to be alive
This rustled my jimmies.

Sayaka says she didn't come to save Homura. Rather, she came because it gave her a chance to see Kyoko again.

"Muh only regret in heaven was leaving you."
>>
>>2019100
When you're trying to get a good Christian girl to hold hands with you, you don't go on an extended lecture about your feelings for some random third person. Throughout the film, Sayaka expresses empathy for Homura right until the moment she goes full devil.
>>
>>2019095
>She specifically states she is over Kyousuke
>And I believe she straight out implies that she's over him

This doesn't really amount to anything though. Saying you're over something (or even accepting the circumstance) doesn't mean your feelings are all cleared up and everything's okay. I can see how you could read the crying as "Oh they're okay" but if she really cares so much about Kyouko and has nothing other than friendship for hitomisuke, why doesn't her scene end with her catching sight of Kyouko and starting to cry from happiness? Hitomi and Kyousuke approaching her together was a deliberate choice. I also find it hard to see her "I just didn't realize how happy it would make me to be able to say 'good morning' to you again" as anything but an excuse, that whole conversation just screams "I'm sucking it up because I want you to be happy".

>>2019055
>I know this is what Homura claims she wants, but Jesus.
It's what the entire character is built on. Trying to obtain happiness for Madoka at any cost, including her own happiness. She'd already made that choice twice before, once when she resolved to fight over and over and watch everyone die until she could save them, and then again when she intended to kill herself in the incubator cage and damn herself to an eternity of suffering to protect Madoka from the incubators.
>>
>

>Which is why she'll be at odds with Homura the second she reawakens and decides to take back the Law of Cycles.

She's going to have to get the fuck over it because it's her fault, intentional or not. I just don't see a compelling conflict between them. Rebellion is almost all miscommunication and leads us to this:

"I need to go back."
"I love you too much to let you do that."
"But I have to go back."

>Madoka will eventually reincarnate

We know she'll reawaken, but plot aside, Homura didn't think that part through.

>After Homura did the exact same thing dozens of times.

Reseting time is not the same as altering the laws of reality. Both Madoka and Homura are guilty of doing this once (and will probably do it again).
>>
>>2019105
>Saying you're over something (or even accepting the circumstance) doesn't mean your feelings are all cleared up and everything's okay.
I'm going to have to disagree. That's exactly what it means.

Also, in Homura's barrier, she specifically mentions her lack of romantic feelings for Kyosuke.

I know that there's a lot in this series that you can't always take at face value, but being alive again and seeing friends you never thought you'd get another chance to see is certainly a reason to cry, and there's not much to look deep into.
>>
>>2019105
>I also find it hard to see her "I just didn't realize how happy it would make me to be able to say 'good morning' to you again" as anything but an excuse, that whole conversation just screams "I'm sucking it up because I want you to be happy".

Or... she is legitimately happy that she is seeing two people she thought she'd never see again. Right after she declared she would face off against Homura, the first thing she sees are two products of Homura's world: her own revival im the world and Kyousuke happy and fully healed.

>Homura stuff

Would Madoka REALLY be happy in a world where she has to be enemies with Homura? The whole first two minutes of the concept movie are built on this and it's my least favorite part of Homura's character: she doesn't accept that she is the person that makes Madoka happy despite being told so multiple times.

Overall, it's played as a happy scene rather than Homura torturing Sayaka by parading her crushed romantic dreams in front of her. I think it's possible Sayaka still has faint feelings for him, but the fact she can rejoice in seeing him and Hitomi together suggests she's mostly over him.
>>
>>2019110
>Would Madoka REALLY be happy in a world where she has to be enemies with Homura?
None of the iterations of the universe are perfect. But the original is the worst, and in Madokami universe, Madoka's existence was reduced to nothing. She was a slave to the law, existing for no other purpose than to show up and kill Puella Magi just before they turned into witches.

I think Homura believes that Madoka will be happier as a regular magical girl, in a universe where she (Homu) can watch over and protect her. And I think that Homura would absolutely be willing to zero approval gambit and play the villain as much as she needs to (even to the point of making Madoka hate her) if it means Madoka can enjoy her regular life. The Madoka of this time line doesn't really know anything about Homura.

I'm not sure if that Madoka would feel so strongly about being enemies with "Akemi-san".
>>
>>2019110
>she doesn't accept that she is the person that makes Madoka happy despite being told so multiple times.
Homura is the poster child for some mahou shoujo PTSD. Just about everything in her witch barrier spelled out "I hate myself", and the Clara Dolls are living manifestations of all of the terrible qualities she ascribes to herself.

Between her self hatred and doubt and her desire to protect the one thing that matters to her, she's deaf and blind even to Madoka telling her that it's all okay.

>>2019111
>Everything about Sayaka's body language and tone in that scene heavily indicates that she is not being genuine.
I'm sure it's hard to settle some heavy feelings in the span of a few seconds and still keep a good face.

>Dealing with being alive again, and going to school
>Dealing with seeing old friends again that she never thought she'd see
>Dealing with accepting that the previous two feelings are "wrong", because the situation that brought them about (Homura fucking up Madoka's universe) is pretty terrible
>>
>>2019113
I agree it's happy. It's happy because she's starting to move on and accept that her friends are happy. I don't think it's happy because she suddenly no longer has any feelings for the guy she's been pinning after for literally years, and is just happy to see her friends are around.

The fact that she can TRY to be happy for them, suggests that she has matured and isn't going to become a witch about it this time. Not that she's now mostly okay with it.

>>2019112
Why? She certainly had no problem basking in the happiness of Homura's labyrinth, to the point of suggesting Homura just relax and not try to undo it.
>>
>>2019091
>Again, this does absolutely nothing to change her feelings towards Homura
Are you serious? She was understanding of Homura for once. In all the other time lines she acted stubborn, never willing to listen to her and pretty much antagonized her.

>Why does it suddenly mean so much for Kyouko?
Because she saw Kyouko's struggles. Yes it is especifically about Kyouko.

>Please don't forget that she starts tearing up, eyes quivering the second she sees him together with Hitomi at the end of Rebellion. She very clearly still has feelings for him.
I can't believe you're bringing this up when the scene itself was so blatant about it. Hell, even Homura says that eventually Sayaka will grow accostumed to being alive again. She is happy that she's able to greet her friends again. Not only that, but having Sayaka have feelings for Kyousuke again woukd regress the character growth she had in both the final episode and in Rebellion.

>I'm not saying it isn't possible for them to be friends, but the weird pseudo-romantic "I missed you so much!" scene in Rebellion really just felt like it was put there as service for shippers
As I expained in the previous post, nothing of the romantic development felt forced or that it came it of nowhere. The anime itself heavily implies Kyouko > Sayaka. it isn't crazy to think that Sayaka would reciprocate given the chance to bond with Kyouko.

>Mami did several times the amount of supporting and being kind to Sayaka that Kyouko did
The point of the Kyouko/Sayaka development isn't that Sayaka had a better connection with Kyouko, it's that Sayaka desperately wanted the chance to be with Kyouko since they never had it while she was alive. The fact that it lead to something more than just a friendship is simply a natural progression.
>>

>Homura and Mami both got along better with, and fought alongside Kyouko, why doesn't she touchingly remember that Mami had died, or that Homura had been fighting alone for so long, and then continued to do so in the Madokami universe?
Kyouko doesn't remember anything of the universe before Madokami. So there is nothing for her to think that Mami has died. Or that Homura has been fighting alone for so long.

>If nothing else, it's jarring that we're supposed to accept that, off-screen, two characters who don't get along until one's dying moments are now suddenly so connected and close.
The only reason they didn't get along was because of their clashing ideals. In the new world Kyouko even comments on how they finally became friends. So it is possible for them to get along.

>so connected and close
You'd think that after so many timelines of relieving the same moments woud eventually lead the two of them to feel connected through something called fate. Homura did not only make Madoka into practically a God, but she also made the Kyouko and Sayaka connection stronger after every timeloop

>>2019119
>Why? She certainly had no problem basking in the happiness of Homura's labyrinth, to the point of suggesting Homura just relax and not try to undo it.
She knew the labyrinth was going to come crashing down eventually. She's telling Homura to enjoy the world (and a corporeal Madoka) for as long as she can. It's a different matter when Homura usurps Madoka.
>>
>>2019111

>Why? She certainly had no problem basking in the happiness of Homura's labyrinth, to the point of suggesting Homura just relax and not try to undo it.
Except the labyrinth isn't comparable to the universe Homucifer created. First off, Sayaka knew that the labyrinth would come to an end eventually. Secondly, that was before Akuma Homura was born. Sayaka feels compassion for Homura before those events. Her justicefaggotry won't allow her to accept the new Homura.

Yeah, we know Homura makes bad decisions.

>I'm not sure if that Madoka would feel so strongly about being enemies with "Akemi-san".

She's linked by fate with Homura. The conceot movie confirms that Homura is at the very least teaching her to dance and Madoka is wearing the ribbons at the end of the movie.

A girl only someone as pure as Madoka can love.

>>2019119
>Why? She certainly had no problem basking in the happiness of Homura's labyrinth, to the point of suggesting Homura just relax and not try to undo it.

She was teasing Homura. Similar to how Homira trolls her later as the devil. The major difference is that Homura's become the god of the new universe, whereas her labrynth was temporary and Sayaka was largely in control of the situation.
>>
>>2019120
>pretty much antagonized her
That was my point. She continues to antagonize her in the labyrinth, despite (at that point), knowing all that Homura has done for them. And then she's outright aggressive towards Homura after the rewrite, when she should know Homura has their best interests at heart.

>having Sayaka have feelings for Kyousuke again woukd regress the character growth she had in both the final episode and in Rebellion.
As pointed out above, the growth is that she sees them together, accepts it, and wants to be happy for them, where before she became depressed and hateful because of it. "I don't like him anymore" is a hell of a lot less growth as a person than "I still have feelings for him, but I know that they are happy together and they are both my friends, so I'm going to be happy for them and it's going to be okay."

>>2019122
At the very least she knows that Homura has been fighting against the wraiths alone.

>she also made the Kyouko and Sayaka connection stronger after every timeloop
But this applies to literally everyone's connection with everyone. See the first point, all that looping doesn't make her not a dick to Homura, it doesn't seem to have any affect on her relationship with Mami. Kind of hand wave-y to then claim that something has made her connection stronger with one person when it hasn't changed any other relationships.

>>2019126
See second point. The whole point of that scene is to show that she has grown as a person and is no longer the petty, childish, awful character that she was pre-Madokami. She has grown enough to try and be happy for her friends and hang out with Kyouko instead of going full edgelord woe-is-me.
>>
>>2019134
>And then she's outright aggressive towards Homura after the rewrite, when she should know Homura has their best interests at heart.

On Sayaka's end, we as the viewer know this. Homura is being a bitch toward Sayaka in that scene, though this is likely pay back for the trolling during her existential crisis in the barrier.

>She's uncomfortable because she is having to admit the devil's world is preferable to god's
Regardless of it being temporary, she clearly finds the idea of the Labyrinth appealing. She wants them to enjoy it as long as they can, i.e. she fully understands and agrees that it is better than the outside world. Hell, the whole hand-holding scene is basically this actualized, because they can enjoy being in this fake world.
>>
>>2019124
This was literally the first 30 minutes of Rebellion.

>>2019134
Sayaka doesn't antagonize her. She's maybe a bit of an ass when Homura's trying to figure out what's happening, but otherwise she's accepting of her, doesn't try to keep her away from Madoka and fights hard to save her when she goes witch.

>when she should know Homura has their best interests at heart.

She knows that when Homura was a bitch in the beginning of the anime/first movie, it is because she has resolved herself to that fight. If knowledge of the multiple time lines influences relationships, shouldn't she a bit more trusting of the person who has been fighting on her behalf for more than a decade and has a tendency to play the villain for the sake of good?
>>
>>2019146
That doesn't mean she has to like her. And Homura is bery obviously pushing Sayaka's buttons. If we take the suicide imagery going on at the same time, it's obvious Homura is goading her into being her executioner.

Come on, you can't do that. Sayaka is fine with taking a short vacation from the Law of Cycles, not overthrowing the whole thing. It's a pretty crucial difference.

>>2019146

Sayaka's problem is that Homura's trying to save Madoka from something she doesn't want to be saved from.

That's pretty antagonizing, given Homura thinks they are in danger from the witch.

Also Homura tore the law in half, splitting Madoka from it.

And she was. Confident Sayaka is still a bit of a dick, and she was being goaded by Homura, but she still fought tooth and nail to save Homura from the Incubators and the witch-ification.

In fact, she was totally ready to accept Homura and bring her to Madokami Heaven (she was in the cart with Nagisa coming down from the sky) - that is, until Homura tears Madoka into pieces, destroys the universe, and resets everything.

Sayaka gave Homura quite a far leash, really. She only snapped after Homura literally becomes Satan
>>
>>2019153
>Sayaka is fine with taking a short vacation
This.
This exact point.

That she views it as a vacation should indicate that an "evil" controlled world being better than Madokami universe is not some revolutionary concept that would bring her to tears.

>save Madoka from something she doesn't want to be saved from
Is this not literally what Kyouko was doing with Sayaka? Trying to save her when Sayaka didn't want to be saved, and just wanted to wallow in despair?
>>
>>2019133
>That was my point. She continues to antagonize her in the labyrinth, despite (at that point), knowing all that Homura has done for them. And then she's outright aggressive towards Homura after the rewrite, when she should know Homura has their best interests at heart.
Where did you get that she continues to antagonize her. It was Homura who tried to attack her, all Sayaka did was act in self defense, and despite all that, she took the time to have an open hearted conversation with her, where she indirectly let her know that she shouldn't blame herself for the world she created.
>As pointed out above, the growth is that she sees them together, accepts it, and wants to be happy for them, where before she became depressed and hateful because of it. "I don't like him anymore" is a hell of a lot less growth as a person than "I still have feelings for him, but I know that they are happy together and they are both my friends, so I'm going to be happy for them and it's going to be okay."
Except that the character growth included Sayaka getting over him and being fully supportive of Hitomi's relationship with him. Having her feelings for him again would regress the progress she had made.

>At the very least she knows that Homura has been fighting against the wraiths alone.
How is she supposed to know that? And besides, that moment was there to focus on the Kyouko/Sayaka bond, that includes Sayaka dying and Kyouko regretting that she didn't get the time to be friends with her before she was taken away. This development also ties perfectly in the other time loops where Kyouko dies because she doesn't want Sayaka to be alone.

>But this applies to literally everyone's connection with everyone. See the first point, all that looping doesn't make her not a dick to Homura, it doesn't seem to have any affect on her relationship with Mami. Kind of hand wave-y to then claim that something has made her connection stronger with one person when it hasn't changed any other relationships.
It had an even bigger impact on Homura-Madoka and Kyouko-Sayaka because it carried way more weight to it than any other relationship the girls had with the other characters. We have no evidence (because it likeky didn't happen) that Mami or Madoka or Homura bonded with Sayaka in the same way that Kyouko did in the time between Homura's loops. And not only that, Sayaka is destined to always die within a week or two if she becomes a magical girl, Madoka who's supposed to be her best friend can save her, it took Kyouko to talk to Madoka for her to even consider the possibility that Sayaka could be saved. It wasn't Madoka who ran after Sayaka, it sad Kyouko, Kyouko was the one who was there during her last moments. That should have meant something to Sayaka.

Her having the feelings is what makes it growth. Any child can stop having temporary crush and get along better with people now that those feelings are gone.

The mature aspect is still having those feelings and being able to put other people before yourself and try to be happy for them.

>>2019160

In addition to this, Homura went full b-villain and said shit like she was going to destroy the universe. Sayaka had no reason to doubt that and Homura was definitely overacting that role.
>>
>>2019171
I don't disagree that that would also count as character growth, had it not be made a point in Rebellion that Sayaka was already over him. The character growth you speak of already happened in the last episode where she's simply content with watching him play the violin. Rebellion takes that a step further by having her get over him.
>>
>>2019166
>Trying to save a friend from depression and trying to "save" someone from a role they chose to take on are not the same things.

Madoka: Save me from my stupid self. Don't let me become a magical girl.

I mean she's said it before and there's no doubt that played over in Homura's mind. Madoka and Sayaka had the benefit of viewing the timelines with clarity and from a distance. Homura had the displeasure of living all of them and obviously affected her decision making process.
>>
>>2019161
Maybe if she thought about it rationally in the peace of her favorite armchair, she might have reached that conclusion, but this is all happening in the moment. Earlier on she decided it was all right to have fun in Homura's labyrinth because it was going away. Later when she's full of righteous anger against Homura, the realization that she actually likes this hits her differently.

If you think just seeing Kyousuke and Hitomi together is enough to drive Sayaka right back to crying about her lost love, why do you think she was so cool about him and Hitomi dating inside the labyrinth?

Does that face look like dumbstruck to you?

>We have no evidence (because it likeky didn't happen) that Mami or Madoka or Homura bonded with Sayaka in the same way that Kyouko did in the time between Homura's loops.

We know that Mami became friends with Madoka and Sayaka every single cycle, and that Kyouko spent the majority of every cycle not getting along with or outright fighting Sayaka. It wasn't Kyouko who went after Sayaka's gem when it ended up on that truck, it was Homura. That should have meant something too.

>It wasn't Kyouko who went after Sayaka's gem when it ended up on that truck, it was Homura. That should have meant something too.
Kyouko was in shock at the soul gem revelation; she didn't chase it because she didn't know he should, and then Homura was on her way
>>
>>2019184
>We know that Mami became friends with Madoka and Sayaka every single cycle
They do become friends, but their relationship is merely limited to that of senpai/kouhai. Sayaka always ends up viewing Mami as an example to follow.

>and that Kyouko spent the majority of every cycle not getting along with or outright fighting Sayaka.
Which is why that is her regret. That she had the potential of becoming great friends with Kyouko yet their clashing ideals and Sayaka's early death prevented that from happening.

>It wasn't Kyouko who went after Sayaka's gem when it ended up on that truck, it was Homura. That should have meant something too.
And it shows. Since she was considerably nicer to her in the Labyrinth. Even saying things like how she shouldn't shoulder all of those burdens alone, implying that she considers her to be a friend.
>>
>>2019184
>That should have meant something too.
Feelings and intent seem to matter a great deal with these things. Sayaka knew perfectly well that Homura only wanted to save her for Madoka's sake.

>Perhaps because she was able to play it off as being Homura's construct?
I don't think so. Sayaka seems to be pretty on top of things in the labyrinth. That loss of control is probably one of the reasons she's so mad at Homura in the end.

True. She enjoys that world but only because it's temporary. Her justicemania wouldn't allow her to otherwise. That's precisely why she can't accept the fact that the newly created world may be permanent, especially since it took Homura stealing away apart of the LoC and brainwashing everyone to the point where no one has their memories except her.

Mami is a weird case because I'd almost like to think she'd be assuaged/she'd want to keep the status quo if it gave her the most friends/kept the most amount of people happy.

Even after their big fight she was prepared to hear Homura out, and most of her iterations seem glad just to have friends to care for her. She'd forgive Homura, but maybe watch her with a close eye.

Judging from the concept video and the leaked poster, it seems like Mami will be the focus of the next project. I wonder how that'll work out.
>>
Where's the show about Mami being a conqueror and ruling everything with an iron fist? Homu got her turn to shine as the devil, and Madoka became a divinity but when is best girl getting her chance?
>>
>>2019206
I wouldn't call that brainwashing per se. Madokami isn't in direct control of what they remember judging by the fact that both Tatsuya and Homura remember her. I'd even go as far as saying that she has no desires of changing anyone's memories. Madokami also didn't change any of the witches' fate besides the thing about leading their souls away.

On the other hand, Homura created a world exactly the way she wanted to. Having things such as Kyousuke's hand being healed and Kyouko attending the same school as the rest and Madoka transferring from America instead of her. Not only is everyone brainwashed but she also manipulates anyone she wants to.

Mami has a strong sense of justice but at the same time she understands what it is like to be alone.

Kyoko understands what it's like to be alone, but she'd break the rules if she had to.

Sayaka has a strong sense of justice, but has no clue what it's like to be alone.

Madoka has a strong sense of justice and doesnt know what it's like to be alone.

Homura has a poor sense lf justice and only knows lonliness.

Mami will bring balance.

I said possibly! I don't think she'd leave her bro high and dry. But she'd want to be on team humanity because she's gay for Sayaka but also doesn't think Homura is completely wrong.
>>
>>2019215
I think that's exactly the reason why she's going to get so much focus. Since I think that Sayaka will be dead set on siding with Madoka and Kyouko will be on Homura's side, Mami will be more in between which would make her some sort of mediator.

>Why do people say this? Sayaka made a wish about love.
Her wish was about love, but she mentions multiple times that her idea of being a magical girl is 'justice'. It's her raison d'etre.

Mami's song is literally called "Credens Justiam" - something about believing in Justice, if my basic Italian understanding translates to semi-Latin

Is there evidence that this is all Homura's deliberate planning that I missed?

Kyousuke's hand is probably healed because Sayaka is a magical girl in the current universe, i.e. she made her wish and he was healed. Madoka transferred (I assume) because her and Madoka meeting and that "first day" is a massively important point in the universe's structure, and since Homura is all powerful and already in the city, the universe resolved the situation by instead having Madoka be the one who transferred.

If she'd just been rewriting everything to her direct will, there'd be no need for Madoka to transfer in at all. Logically she would basically just made the labyrinth real, since that was her ideal world. A world where she would have transferred in already a magical girl and immediately become friends with Madoka.

I'm neither giving too much credit to Kyouko/Homura friendship nor ignoring the fact that Madoka will probably forgive Homura.

>It really makes no sense why any of them would want to go back to the version where two are dead and one doesn't exist.

It's the classic "utopia" vs. "world with problems, but free will is a thing" dichotomy. On the one hand, the girls are ultimately "happier" in the new universe, but it's happiness at the cost of memory manipulation and no free will.

On the other, the Madokami world had its issues (Madoka doesn't exist, Sayaka is dead) but the characters have free will and they'll eventually return to Madoka/Heaven (where they may be sentient and conscious - but we don't really know)

>>2019229
But Sayaka turns against everyone and turns into a witch that curses the world. She's acting on her feelings of love. Mami's whole magical girls of justice theme was how she's acting on her wish to not be alone, to get Madoka and Sayaka to contract. She herself admits to Madoka in private that the life of a magical girl is not as she makes it seem.

To mean that Homura was forcing Kyuubey/the Incubators to absorb the despair in the world (we say Kyuubey eating the Wraith cubes, which were the curses) and prevent magical girls from having to fight
>>
Seriously, I can't help but think that Sayaka is simply retarded. She's willing to make Madoka disappear again and have herself go back to being dead despite admitting that she'd much rather be alive

It's either she's retarded or she's just pretending.

It's not a utopia, it still has problems. And I think you assume too much about Homura's control. I don't disagree that she COULD control literally everyone, but she doesn't seem to. They all still have free will. There'd be no reason for her to fuck with everyone at the end (breaking the cup, tossing the apple, etc) if they were just puppets dancing. She changed the rules and the universe altered itself to make sense of them. Homura takes Sayaka's powers and her memory of the LoC, but she still has free will and is determined to hate Homura.

Also people who go to Madokami heaven aren't sentient or conscious. IIRC it's specifically described as oblivion. Nagisa and Sayaka are exceptions created specifically to assist the Law.
>>
>>2019255
Yes but they're just familiars. Throwing another magical girl onto Homura's side gives her some more weight. Also if Kyoko is on Homura's team, you get to have Homura and Madoka's conflict/relationship mirrored in the beta couple.
>>

I also thought this. It's possible that magical girls don't exist in this world.
>>
>>2019256
>No runes
Blame Shaft and their laziness. The scene was to show that Homura does not have a ring, but Sayaka still does.
Gen Urobuchi has said himself he doesnt know how people came to the conclusion magical girls dont exist.

>Kyubey broken and beaten
Homura has always hated Kyubey and is hally having finally defeated him.
>>
>>2019263
Sayaka, Mami, Kyouko, and Nagisa all have their magical girl rings. Madoka doesn't and I'm pretty sure Homura doesn't either (replaced with the ear piece).
>>
>>2019236
The thing about Kyousuke's hand could make sense I admit. But Homura making it so that
1. Madoka lived in America and
2. Kyouko being in the same class as them and
3. Making the MamiNagi meeting possible
Clearly implies that she's had a hand on what goes on in that world. She may not have control over the characters' feelings but this current world is clearly what she wanted.
>>
>>2019254
>But Sayaka turns against everyone and turns into a witch that curses the world.
Every magical girl will, unless she gets killed first. That was kind of the point of magical girls a la the Incubators.

>She's acting on her feelings of love
Again, she mentions multiple times that she's doing things for Justice, and to protect the victims of the witches. This was one of her biggest differences that lead to her battles with Kyouko. Her wish was for love, but she didn't continue to fight in order to show off to Kyosuke.

>Mami's whole magical girls of justice theme was how she's acting on her wish to not be alone, to get Madoka and Sayaka to contract. She herself admits to Madoka in private that the life of a magical girl is not as she makes it seem.
Which is entirely possible, but it doesn't clash with her doing things for Justice too. She mentions that she fights to protect others, while some magical girls do it for more selfish reasons.

>You're making them out to be the story's main heroes when you say they fight for justice.
A character can't fight for Justice without being the main heroine? That doesn't make any sense.

The intent of Rebellion was to bring Madoka OUT of the Law of Cycles because it was refered to as a fate worse than death. I don't know why people are so eager to have Sayaka send her back either when this is explocitly said to be the wrong thing to do in interviews.
>>
>>2019272
Some people just want to Make Madokami Great Again, even though that would mean crashing this universe with no survivors.
>>
Homura is obsessed with making everyone happy and continues to suffer because of it. She's became the new Kriemhild Gretchen. I'm telling you Madoka and Homura are going to achieve oneness in the same way Sayaka and Octavia did in Rebellion.
>>
>>2019272
I don't think there are that many people who agree with Sayaka.

Though I think it's going to be more complex than just Sayaka wanting to go back to becoming a part of the LoC again. Things like her getting accostumed to her new chance at living are undoubtedly going to play a role as well. In Rebellion she even purposely keeps quiet about Homura being the witch because she was enjoying herself a little bit too much.
>>
>>2019267
It's what they all wanted. Can we really say that MamiNagi wouldn't have happened if Nagisa had not gone Charlotte? The two are connected by fate, it seems logical that the'd eventually meet up even if it isn't as enemies. The America thing I already gave my guess for, it seems like a really weird choice for Homura to consciously make. If her goal was isolating Madoka from the rest of the quintet, she could have just had her transfer in from a different town (being from America just instantly made her popular). She could have just followed the labyrinth format, which she already knows will end up with her and Madoka being extremely close and MamiNagi/KyouSaya out of the way.

The Kyouko transfer is really the only thing I think can be attributed to her, but even that is suspect because it seems like the natural course of events had Sayaka NOT succumbed to being a witch in the primary timeline. Kyouoko would have softened up, and with no reason to stay in the neighboring town (as pointed out in her chat with Homu in Rebellion) it seems reasonable she'd eventually transfer over so she can have fun messing around with them and end up in school via pressure by Sayaka or desire to hang out more.

Madoka's worst subject was English. Sending her to America makes her significantly better at speaking English. Not even kidding.

isn't Nagisa thousands of years old? Clearly MamiNagi is only possible because of Homura.

And why would Kyouko move in with Sayaka instead of with Mami whom she has a history with?

And it still doesn't answer the question as to why it had to be altered in such a way that Madoka had to have lived in America. Clesrly such a thing is only possible if someone else had a hand in the matter.

No? She's like 10. Where did you get that idea?

She's overacting her role as evil.

The thing about dropping the tea cup and wasting Kyouko's food could also be a way to reject their friendship. She's already purposely distancing herself from Madoka

She broke the universe for Madoka's happiness and you're suprised she wanted to improve Madoka's academic aptitude and self-confidence?

The other things were to show she rejected the others. She broke a tea cup because she had tea parties with Mami. She forced Kyoko to waste an apple because Kyoko hates people who waste food. She doesn't necessary want to control Madoka and is fine with Sayaka being Madoka's friend as long as they don't foght in front of Mado.

Am I wrong for thinking that Madoka's significant flaw is that she was so busy wanting to die a hero that she never stopped and thought about how much she was hurting Homu and has caused her to lash out or is this well established?
>>
>>2019297
>Pic related
I thought that too, when I first watched it. It's clearly an allusion, but if you look at Gretchen, the "half" body is the sun, as the moon and the earth are her mouth and eye respectively. The moon and the sun are "opposites", so it makes sense that Homura's moon is halved, as Madoka's sun was.

Also, Sayaka could summon Oktavia because that was her witch form. Homura and Madoka are full blown people - they may be diametric opposites and in fact they do form a "oneness", but one is certainly not going to be the summoner or controller of the others.
>>

Homura is a devil and Madoka is a god tho. It's no different than magical girls and witches. Magical girl Sayaka isn't complete without Octavia and Madokami isn't complete without Homucifer.

>>2019298
It's both Madoka's and Sayaka's flaw. They want to become Heroines of Justice, others are just accessories to their Honorabru Dispray. Even Madoka's initial impressing of Homura was just >tips magical bow >m'lady. Kyousuke was aware of Sayaka's true nature and dumped her for Hitomi.

There's definitely a difference. A witch is just a broken/fully bloomed magical girl.

Madokami and Homucifer are more or less the personifcation of principles (selfless love and hope vs. selfishness and desire). It's not the same dichotomy.

I wouldn't take anything that happened in the game as canon. I think Kyousuke mentioning Sayaka's name was a way of showing that he appreciated her sacrifice.

If there is going to be love confession, I think Madoka needs to do it. Homura has to apologize, but Madoka needs to let her know she loves her and that they shouldn't go off by themselves anymore. The way it is, Homura's definitely not going to do it.

I thought it was pretty clearly a selfless love (Madoka's love for all magical girls and her self-sacrifice) vs selfish love (Homura's actions in general)
>>
>>2019324
Selfless love implies she loves all magical girls equally. She obviously favors Homura in that she 1. gave her the ribbons, 2. gave Homura and Homura alone memories of herself, and 3. outright says that she doesnt care if Homura is good or bad because she's still Homura.

Madokami very much shows favoritism and thus is capable of selfish love. She is howeer, the embodiment of hope which prevents magical girls from despairing. While Homura's actions are selfish, her actions are rooted in love. A love that allows her to transcend despair and become a being that embodies the consequences of her love for Madoka yet is able to withstand this burden.

>>2019324
I don't fundamentally disagree, but I think it's unfair to reduce Homura's side to "selfish" love or just "desire". It's only at the end of rebellion that she does anything truly selfish, (her interactions with Sayaka). Pretty much everything she does is her honestly trying to do things for Madoka's sake.

And I don't think you can call her willingness to endure eternal hell after killing herself as a witch to protect Madoka, as the product of a selfish love.

I think a more poetic way to put it would be that Madoka's love is [hope], trying to make everyone's lives better out of general love. Homura's love is [despair],a love so deep and complete that even suffering has become pleasurable because it's an affirmation of that love; a love that compels her to do things for Madoka no matter the consequence.

They are both selfish and selfless in some ways. It was pretty selfish of Madoka to ask Homura, who had been fighting for more than a decade to save her, to just live on fighting in a new world without Madoka, who had been her only guiding light and purpose. And it was pretty selfish of Homura to force her vision of what the world should be on the universe, even if her vision really is better.

Ultimately this is why I feel obligated to fix this Madoka.

She does everything for Madoka's sake - true. But she does it without considering anyone other than Madoka (and even then, she does what she thinks is right regardless of what it would do to her or others). It's a possessive kind of love then, if selfish is the wrong word.

>>
>>2019351
>she does it without considering anyone other than Madoka
Oh I absolutely agree. I just wanted to be clear that it's not like Homura just wants what Homura wants. If she's selfish, it's a strange pseudo-selfishness where she's being selfish on Madoka's behalf, because Madoka is so selfless.
>>
>>2019343
>Madoka cursed Homura by allowing her to keep those memories and that was implied to be the reason for her despiar (the inability to disinguish her memories from fantasies).

To play devil's advocate (in more ways than one), it may have been hard to figure a way to keep Homura going without immediately succumbing to despair after Madoka's ascension. Even in the Madokami verse, Homura's entire raison d'etre is to protect the world that Madoka protected, and before that it was to protect Madoka. It may be literally impossible for Homura to be driven enough to live if she can't do it for Madoka.

In that case, Madoka leaving Homu with her memories was supposed to be a reward - she could have tried to wipe her memory.

That's more or less what I've been trying to get at, but had trouble descibing - Homu is "selfish", if only because she feels she needs to be on Madoka's behalf (because Madoka is so selfless).

I wonder if Madokami could've seen that at all, actually.

Homu only becomes Satan once she remakes the universe. That potentiality might be entirely outside of her omniscience.

Although she should've seen the effect the memories might have on Homu, or that the Incubators would use that info against the two
>>
>>2019365
They both have an incredibly unhealthy lack of self-worth. Madoka's self-worth is derived from sacrificing herself for a greater cause. Losten to her in the series. She's always putting herself down and is only confident when she signs a death contract with Kyubey. Homura's sense of self worth is derived exclusively from Madoka and Madoka alone.

To be fair to Madoka, she was a far more confident and self-assured person before Homura's wish (or so it seemed).

As the timelines advanced, she became more and more demure, un-confident, and lacked self-worth. This may have been because the universe was trying to shape her to fit Homura's "I want to be the one to protect Madoka" wish.

>>
>>2019374
>I'd think more Japanese conception of gods than Western ideas.

I saw someone once match up parts of Rebellion (PMMM in general) with Buddhism.

Namely, the witch/magical girl cycle being similar in nature to samsara, and Madokami breaking it as an analogy to the Buddha's accession to Nirvana and breaking of the cycle.

Related, in Rebellion, Homura acts like a man (I forget the name) who tried to keep the Prince (who would become the Buddha) from exiting his palace and seeing the suffering and poverty, as a means of protecting the Prince from the pain of the outside world. Ultimately, he fails.
>>
>>2019379
I've seen that too, but they take a lot of liberties. Rebellion is the Nutcracker, right down to the prince deciding that it was better to dream. The sequel appears to be some mishmash of Swan Lake and Three Kingdoms.
>>
>>2019385
>Rebellion is the Nutcracker, right down to the prince deciding that it was better to dream.

Rebellion also has some similarities with Paradise Lost, which fits thematically - somewhat - with the series being Faust: Mahou Shoujo edition.

I'm currently reading Goethe's Faust, and I can't help but picture a number of the characters as their PMMM counterpart

This is goddamn bullshit. I could almost, almost give him the benefit of the doubt because 'wishes going bad' and 'selling one's soul for a miracle' are stories from all over human mythos, but there are literal shout-outs to Faust and Goethe and shit.

She's a veteran magical girl, so everyone looks up to her.

>This is goddamn bullshit. I could almost, almost give him the benefit of the doubt because 'wishes going bad' and 'selling one's soul for a miracle' are stories from all over human mythos, but there are literal shout-outs to Faust and Goethe and shit.

It is entirely possible that a japanese person could write a story with soul selling and regret following it without knowing what Faust is. The majority of Urobuchi's script was left unchanged from the original draft, and witch runes were not meant to be taken seriously until they realized people deciphered them a few episodes in. Most/all of the Faust related stuff is in Inucurry's work. I'm certain Urobuchi was told of Faust after actual production began though.

I'd also just like to say Faust is a joke by todays standards. Reading it just made me value how far writing has come since then. I have two parts of the version I read that are my favorite:

First is that the (lengthy) translator introduction calls it a masterpiece that was a hundred years ahead of its time for about 20-30 pages, and then explains that they cut out four acts (most of the second part of the tragedy) for several reasons, like that large parts of it were "merely doggerel" or "rabid unpoetic dialogue". Those four acts are squashed into an 11 page synopsis.

Second is the ending. When Faust dies angels descend to take his soul to heaven and they fight the devil for his soul. They win, by distracting satan with hot infantile cherub boy ass. Pic related.

If I had to pick a third it would be the part early on where Mephistopheles convinces a man Faust was too busy to talk to that he should become a doctor so he can touch boobs for free.

It's not even really a tragedy to be honest. Everything tragic happens to people around him and Faust doesn't really care that much. Also, witch farts.

Was an interesting read, but unless you judge a work by how often it rhymes it isn't that entertaining or worthwhile.
>>
>>2019467
How so? They're certainly, at the very least, supposed to be a "pair". I guess one can argue the romantic aspect, but they're together a ton in the movie, are shown to have a close bond, and even get official images together (if I were on my computer I think I could find what I'm talking about).

I'd like to make a point about the last names too, but that's pretty trivial

Ah, got it. Realistically, Nagisa is 12-13. Madoka and the other girls are 13-14. Mami is 15. There really isn't even an age gap, but yes I think the relationship is definitely more platonic than MadoHomu or KyoSaya.

I don't think a timeskip is necessary at all. One of Nagisa's more likable traits is her innocent and childish demeanor, even in the face of the horrors of magical girl life.

If you're old enough to slay witches, you're old enough to romance bitches.

Still not too comfortable with the idea of them being in a romantic relationship. Slaying witches isn't the same as engaging in sexual activities with an older person. Not that Mami is "that" much older, but I'd prefer it if Nagisa were a bit more mature. Besides, I like their relationship as it is.

For all the talk OTPs and SPP in animu, I don't know why people against MamiNagi use the small age gap between them as something against it. Homura spent 12 years without getting any (unconfirmed) and still hasn't gotten much more than a naked space hug and some hair braiding. You don't think Mami could wait til Nagisa was Japanese legal and more mature?

I said in my post that I didn't think the age gap was too big. I assume Nagisa is 11 and Mami is 15 right? I can get used to the idea that Nagisa may have developed a crush on Mami, but that Mami still simply views her as a cute imouto. If it were to develop into something more once they grow older I wouldn't mind it one bit.

And I honestly do not understand why you insist on thinking that she was lying in that scene. Of course she is going to act awkward when she just lost any recollection of any of the memories she had + she somehow gets the feeling that something is wrong in that world. Keep in mind that during that scene Sayaka has already been brainwashed, yet she knows that something is the matter and she even comments that saying "good morning" to them again made her very happy.

With the other girls you get something exactly like this as well. Each of them, while going on with their lifes as usual, have somethin happen to them that makes them become slightly aware of the true nature of that world. Mami reacts surprised, Kyouko reacts with some kind of anger, Sayaka tears up, Nagisa is just Nagisa as usual, even though she's walking on a pool of streaming liquid, acting as if it was normal somehow, and then there's Madoka who goes the furthest by calling back to her Godly powers.

Have you even read it?

Even the 60 page introduction points out that it isn't a tragedy, and has quite a lot of comedy. Rant:

The romance in it starts with Faust just seeing a random girl on the street (the scene starts with "Street: Faust. Margaret passing by.") and immediately bursting into poetry about how every single part of her is beautiful, before demanding that the devil give her to him (he can't, because she is too pure). Eventually Faust poisons her mother so he can fuck her, and her life and family are destroyed. There are no scenes where they form a meaningful connection or anything, and yet we are supposed to believe that Margaret/Gretchen loved him enough to be partly responsible for the angels descending to take him to heaven in the end. Even though she drowned their child.

Faust is also supposed to be one of the most enlightened scholars of his time and yet he failed to see how having Satan himself slip something to someone could possibly end badly.

The entire Walpurgisnacht scene is just random bullshit for many pages. It is seemingly supposed to be filler to give time for Gretchen's child to be born off screen, or as the translator put it, so the writer could blow off steam. There is even a character here that is meant to resemble a writer who made a parody of one of Goethe's works, named "Rump-Ghostler", because the man once applied leeches to his rump to stop being haunted by ghosts.

The entire thing is written like the script for a play, the only thing I could compare it to a narration-less LN. Instead of text describing someone being stabbed, the character will simply announce that they have been stabbed. Any actual narration is done like "Faust (putting down his book):" or in short sentences in parenthesis between dialogue "(dies)".

There is a reason this style is hundreds of years old and no one writes books like this anymore. I can't believe it took Goethe 60 years to write one of the shortest books I have ever read either.

>The entire thing is written like the script for a play
It is a play, you dumbass.
>>
>>2019877
>It's written like a play

Thanks for clearing that up.

Not like people who are influenced by Faust today have actually experienced it as a play so I don't see how that would matter anyway. It is also worth pointing out that it is considered both a play and a poem, or dramatic poem.
>>
>>2019876
I'm reading it currently, actually (I've been reading Goethe a lot lately) and I'm enjoying it a lot.

I think you're nitpicking quite a bit, and most of it comes from "but this is tacky in a modern mindset". It's influential and well loved but that doesn't mean it's perfect.

>the entire thing is written like a play
Oh, so you're retarded. It all makes sense now.

>There is a reason this style is hundreds of years old and no one writes books like this anymore
>le current year meme
The work itself is hundreds of years old. Do you think it's going to be written like any modern novel?

>it took him 60 years to write
He wrote and published the first part, and then focused on the second part on and off until the literal year of his death. It's not like he sat at his desk for 60 years - he has a lot more that he wrote during those intervening years.

To be fair, minus the devil part, this isn't exactly different from how most fictional romances begin these days.
>>
>To be fair, minus the devil part, this isn't exactly different from how most fictional romances begin these days.
It's how a lot of romances in literature start regardless of age - it's not always important to see the procession of love. Love itself might be the point, and that's fine. A story will get bogged down if every little point needs to be proven and shown. Plus, willing suspension of disbelief and "love at first sight".
>>

>most of it comes from "but this is tacky in a modern mindset". It's influential and well loved but that doesn't mean it's perfect.
Of course.

>Oh, so you're retarded. It all makes sense now.
I said this for the benefit of those who have not read it. You will note that every person who experiences Faust will say "read" not "saw". Almost noone today is experiencing it as a play. This is like if I said a LN was written like the script for an anime and people called me an idiot for mentioning this.

>The work itself is hundreds of years old. Do you think it's going to be written like any modern novel?
You just repeated what you quoted from me and I don't understand why you feel the need to mention memes. As I said, writing has grown since then.

>He wrote and published the first part, and then focused on the second part on and off until the literal year of his death. It's not like he sat at his desk for 60 years - he has a lot more that he wrote during those intervening years.
Well yeah, he would hardly be a writer if he spent his entire adult life writing a single play. But Faust is rather short, so I find it amusing that it took that long for it to be finished. Could you imagine if that happened today? If it took Uorbuchi 50-60 years to write the second season? The version I read is just over 500 pages, but 60 of that is the introduction and half of the rest is in german, leaving 220 pages. And then since it is written like a script there is a large amount of empty space on each page which varies depending on the number of speakers in the scene. Though, this version leaves out the majority of the second part of the tragedy so those would not be counted there (which is rather annoying, I happen to know quite a bit about greek mythology and enjoy it).

It would be interesting to see a list of other works where you can remove 30%+ of the content apparently without hurting the story and then stick Goethe's Faust at the end.

Oh I'm aware. It was just a smart ass comment. I generally accept a relationship in fiction if it's implied or outright stated without need for much else. Many writers in general are also not comfortable doing romantic plots or subplots and may also lack sufficient experience or range of emotion.

Mami is also underage. It's only paedophilia if one of them is an adult.

Having boobs does not equal adulthood.
>>
>>2020153
I assume that anon was referring to japan's bare minimum age of consent of 12?

And by definition it can still be paedophilia without the person being an adult, but the lines are kind of blurry in about half a dozen areas. The age of the pedo, the age of the child, whether the pedo feels attraction to just that person or just children or mostly children or etc.

I believe if there is an age difference of five years or less then it isn't technically paedophilia, but who knows what japan thinks.

This is all assuming Mami is sexually attracted to Nagisa though, which she probably isn't. Yet.

It's not like someone's trying to ship Nagisa and a 50 year old man. This isn't some Usagi Drop shit either. Both are young girls. One might be younger, but not even by that much.

I can totally understand not shipping them - I didn't for quite a while myself - but ''pedophilia" isn't a reason that I think "counts".

I also find Nagisa to be quite lacking in the characterization department. We also do not see that many interactions between the two with Nagisa in human form. Perhaps the next project will make me like them as a romantic pair, but for now, they're just a cute mother/daugter sort of pair.
>>

>Looks like the nips didn't really pick up on MamiNagi judging by the number of entries on Pixiv

Well even though they're a pairing, as many others have said it's not terribly well established in canon beyond platonic friendship. MadoHomu was being shipped before the series even started (first MadoHomu tag is dated 2 months before the series started) and KyoSaya is a fan favorite that was made canon. There are quite a few Mami Charlotte pieces and I feel like that's ultimately Shaft paired them together.

They got their wish and now they are lukewarm on it.

>I also find Nagisa to be quite lacking in the characterization department. We also do not see that many interactions between the two with Nagisa in human form.

Even though I'm definitely a Nagisa/Mami kinda guy, I'll give you this. Most of their interactions were as Bebe and Mami.

That said, the movie was very, very focused on Homura (not that I'm complaining). There wasn't much time for bonding between other characters regardless. I hope we see more of them in the next project

I like the "Homura's waifu" dress and am interested to see what it means. We haven't been told whether it's something she's wearing or if it's a new magical girl outfit. I'm leaning toward it is a new magicl girl outfit due to the apparent soul gem on it. I'm curious to see what her new power would be.

>>2021674
I really like it, but I also really like her normal dress. It is cute, but I am more interested in what it could possibly mean.

Its purpose seems to be to be different enough to show that whatever is going on is different from before, and it may come with new powers.

My bet right now is that there is a new form of contracting, since Homura would probably never allow Kyubey to contract girls in her world. If I had to guess, the fairies are agents sent by Godoka to slip through the cracks into Homu's world and do... well, I don't know. But a less grimdark form of magical girl contracting would be a good start. The fairies would presumably be magical girls taken in by the LoC.

Urobuchi already confirmed a while back magical girls continue to be a thing. Homu only cares about Mado.

>>
>>2022815
I think there are two reasons why it's not terribly popular: 1) it's hard to convey in fan art, whereas pervert Homu is pretty easy, 2) Madoka's affection for Homu is pretty unconditional and she seemed down with skinship in the labrynth. Outside of some naughty domination or maybe a kinky mind break scenario, she's going to rewrite Madoka to be more like Madoka?

I was definitely thinking of the mindbreak potentials in this case.

I always had a desire to write some kind of smut based around an unseen timeline between the beginning and the end, where Homu mentally cracks a bit and lewds Madoka the whole time, then just resets the timeline in the end.

I dunno, I guess I don't enjoy Homu dominating as much because it just feels empty. I kind of feel like "Well maybe if you gave up the ass earlier, this wouldnt need to happen, Madoka.". I love Homura and want her to end up as Madoka's female husband, but I get off on seeing her bullied. Seeing Homu degrade herself because she cares so little about herself. I'd like to see Homu get NTRd or for something to happen that would make her feel incapable of being loved by Madoka, but honestly I'd probably start crying if it actually existed.

It's that regret in the end that is what I'm talking about. Her continued suppressing of Madoka's powers and maintaining of her gilded cage of a universe is about the most Homura is likely to get up to. Homura is going to fold like a pack of cards in a super tornado-hurricane gangbang the instant Madoka regains her powers. and confronts her.

I wouldn't say masochistic pig - especially not when she flips the switch and then decides she knows best.

Although she probably is a total submissive bitch for Madoka, once she believes that Madoka is happy enough and not self-sacrificing.
>>

I mean the whole splitting and denying herself salvation is an extension of her submissiveness to Madoka's will. I'm not denying her resolve when I say this though.
>>
>>2024003
>>I mean the whole splitting and denying herself salvation is an extension of her submissiveness to Madoka's will
How so?

Are you talking about Madoka possibly not wanting to be a goddess, discussed in the garden scene?
>>
>>2024005
Yes. When Homura "realized" Madoka would have never wanted to be a goddess if it meant being seperated in the garden. Everything else is jist jusyifying that decision. Sure, the stopping the incubators was a by product and everyone was happy, but the reality is her reasoning for doing it was to he andr becoming the devil in order to free Madoka from her burden was a genuine act of love for Madoka.
>>
>>2024006
>but the reality is her reasoning for doing it was to he andr becoming the devil in order to free Madoka from her burden was a genuine act of love for Madoka.
I never doubted that that was the reason, but I hadn't really seen it as an act of submissiveness.

That said, the decision is still tainted by Madoka not really knowing all the info at the time (or having her memories). We won't see her feelings on the matter til the next movie at least.
>>
>>2024008
It's almost as if Homura is a teenage girl who is desperate for love and willing to do anything she thinks might work.
>>
>>2024008
Yes I agree with that and that is really the true conflict. If Homura believes she is doing something for Madoka's sake, she is nigh instoppable. As of now, even if she has lingering doubts, she believes she is doing something for Madola's sake, making her an incredibly dangerous antagonist atm.
>>
>>2024011
Definitely not denying that either - but I wanted to pint out - as many have - that she kind of jumped the gun.

Not that it's the first time
>>
>>2024011
But I don't think Homura wants love. If she wanted love, she just would have gone with Madoka. She NEEDS love, but she doesn't seem to seek it out or anything.
>>
>>2024019
because Homura is conflicted on the subject of Madoka and Madokami being the same being. Espcially after the whole garden thing
>>2024018
Homura is not very good at making decisions regarding her love life.
>>
>>2024020
>because Homura is conflicted on the subject of Madoka and Madokami being the same being. Espcially after the whole garden thing

She isn't though. She knows Madokami is Madoka and that Madoka was strong and couragous enough to make that wish because that's exactly the girl she knows and loves. The issue was she thinks Madoka shouldn't have had to make that wish and that it was her failure that forced her to.
>>
>>2024019
>She NEEDS love, but she doesn't seem to seek it out or anything.
Are we watching the same character? At most, you can say she's scared of what comes after love, perhaps.

Her entire raison d'etre was to protet Madoka, with love being the binding force. But when she finally succeeds she's unhappy, and even when she fucks things over in another attempt to fix that and protect Madoka again, she finds that the uncertainty of what comes next that frightens and ruins her.
>>
>>2024022
She does everything out of love, but she never expects that love to be returned. Madoka becoming Madokami is ironically the only way for Homura to be validated. Homura was sad Madoka was gone, but had Kyubey not fucked everything over and created a scenario in which the events of Rebellion could occur. She's saddened because she knows Madoka has a strong sense of duty and that it puts them at odds. She continues "opppsing" Madoka out of love, even though she very much expects Madoka to hate her for it.

She does not seek or expect love from anyone despite being the most worthy of it.
>>
>>2024011
Homura is not a teenager, she's 20-something (mentally).
>>
>>2024050
Age kinda got thrown out the window since Madoka and Homura have taken their stabs at godhood. Moreover I don't' really think HOmura really matured over the time loops.
>>
>>2024050
She might've spent the equivalent of over a decade rewinding time, but that doesn't make her mentally (or physically, because of magic I would assume) older.

In fact, it's almost the opposite. She spent so long redoing the same month that she never moved forward, or matured, or grew at all. I'd argue that that's part of her character - her single minded obsession tends to leave HomuHomu deficient in other areas (happiness, peace of mind, common sense, etc.)

Also, as that other anon said, the moment you become a goddess outside of the normal flow of time is the moment your age probably stops meaning anything.

Homura is probably going to come to terms with what she did after Madoka loves the shit out of her and keeps stopping her from blaming herself.

I definitely want a real fight between the two finally. We never saw them actually go at each other. Anime Homu/Saya ended with a timestop and a quick neckchop IIRC, and Rebellion kept them at a standstill.

Bonus points for a crying Madoka getting between the two to stop them.

>I think it's pretty safe to assume things can only get worse from here. Homura's already externalizing her suffering and I think Sayaka's set up for another healthy dose of Butchering

>>
>>2024269

I don't think Homu really cares. Homura set that conflict up to begin with and if she really gave a shit, she would have just killed Sayaka right there. Homura already expects Madoka to hate her and side against her.

>>2024473
>I definitely want a real fight between the two finally.

I'm willing to bet we see the beta couple at it again rather than a full blown confrontation between Homura and Sayaka. Sayaka choosing to fight Homura is a rejection of her current life with Kyoko.
>>
>>2024486
>Homura already expects Madoka to hate her and side against her.
That's what I was talking about. Is Homura twisted enough now not to want Madoka to forgive her (Homura) after having consciously set up a system where the two of them are expected to be enemies?


>I'm willing to bet we see the beta couple at it again rather than a full blown confrontation between Homura and Sayaka. Sayaka choosing to fight Homura is a rejection of her current life with Kyoko.

I hope not. The rejection of Kyouko will certainly be a consequence, but I want a nice fight between Sayaka and Homura finally

Anyone else legitimately worried that the series is going to completely fly off the rails?
>>
>>2024515
No, because I don't think it's ever coming back.
>>
>>2024519
Why?
>>
>>2024515
The one thing that worries me most is that they might not do what is most obvious. The obvious ending of Madoka and Homura living happily ever after in yurivalhalla did not happen, which makes me wonder if Urobuchi would be satisfied with making the ending that everyone is predicting now.

I'm sure I will enjoy whatever happens though, so I am not too worried. The worst thing that could happen is they try to leave the ending open for a 5th installment and we have to wait years for it. My best case would be that the 4th movie/season conclusively ends the series in a well written and satisfying manner and then they animate a few of the better spin offs, like Tart, TDS, or maybe even Oriko.

>>2024519
They announced that the concept movie was the beginning of a new Madoka project, so you would have to be pretty overly pessimistic to think nothing else was coming, especially considering how there is no reason for them to not make more.
>>
>>2024515
>Anyone else legitimately worried that the series is going to completely fly off the rails?
Was it ever on the rails?

Season 1 was pretty self contained, but in my opinion, Rebellion felt like a natural extension. That is, the series could've ended with S1 but the addition of Rebellion doesn't feel intrusive to me.

Whatever comes next comes next.

>>
>>2024528
We know he didn't want them to go to heaven because heaven sucks. Madoka's existence was described as worse than death. There are enough hints in Rebellion that it's not that great. The concept movie seemed to double down on that. If they go to heaven, it will just mean that Homura will keep Madoka from being lonely.

>>2024529
I'm not saying it wasn't a natural extension, I'm saying the scale the series is on now. We started with magical girls and now we're at gods and devils and whatever Mami is.
>>
>>2024540
>I'm not saying it wasn't a natural extension, I'm saying the scale the series is on now. We started with magical girls and now we're at gods and devils and whatever Mami is

But it's not like the series didn't end with gods too - Rebellion didn't introduce concepts like that out of nowhere. It all feels like a natural extension of the core concepts introduced in the anime.

I'm going to be cautiously optimistic for the next project.

Not necessarily against you, but doomsayers are my least favorite people in any fandom. The kind of folks who constantly have to go "do you think the series is just becoming trash because of x/y/z" or "this is shit now because it wasn't shit earlier" or "I don't like this now because I'm jaded and the series reminds me of a time when I wasn't" or something. It's useless complaining without purpose
>>
>>2024540

Rebellion's ending makes sense once you examine it of course, I am just saying it wasn't what we all thought would happen while watching the first 90% of it. If the next work is a movie we won't be able to predict a shocking twist before it smacks us in the face again, so I just wonder if Urobuchi would be satisfied with something predictable since he wasn't for Rebellion.

We also didn't really get a confirmation that heaven sucked until the concept movie. Even if we always suspected it, the "fate worse than death" thing was never really shown and Godoka always looks rather happy. The concept movie has done a good job showing some of that so far in a way that makes sense, and I hope they continue that.

A side note, if Madoka was split into both Madoka and Godoka, does that mean Godoka is still suffering? What can she even do in this new universe?

I'm going to have to assume she's trapped in some kind of suspended animation. The way the screen/universe cracked almost made it look like she was trapped in crystal or ice.

It may be a time-stop like pause, where Madokami won't 'wake up' until Madoka renews the connection to her other self.
>>
>>2024566
I think that screen cracking was the consequence of splitting Godoka from Madoka and/or the consequence of smashing a soul gem with enough stored energy to rewrite the laws of the universe and entrap it within a labyrinth whilst booting the divine part of Madoka out of the universe.

I'm curious about this too. The Law of Cycles can't really exist without Madoka because it's Madoka's humanity and compassion (not to mention her karma) that gives the wish its power. In this case, does the LoC remain imprisoned in statis? Does Homura replace the humanity in the Law of Cycles (god help them all if that's the case)? I've read from notes that the dark orb houses the power pf the Law of Cycles, which is why Madoka "remembered" when coming into contact with the earring and why the earring is granted the ability to move on its own.

Regardless, the window to heaven is definitely shut for now.
