Kot_Schlyopa said: It feels so weird to me that it feels as if Sayaka shouldn't genuinely feel this way but is only doing so because the author wanted to force the story in her direction. Is it really odd that a person would feel this way? Is it odd that a kid gets sad when they realize Santa's not real? Is it odd that a person losing faith after 40 years of devout practice would feel devastated or lost? Even if a person doesn't place such a weight on concepts such as souls, is it really that hard to understand that there are many other people who do? Sayaka is just one such person, and it is not unbelievable to me at all that she would feel that way. |
| Has Hitomi been talking to Madoka's mum about creating a "mistake", cause nothing, and I mean nothing has been hinted at her liking Kamijou, unless it was all done off-screen, which is dull af. It just feels like her way of helping Sayaka, which may actually be the polar opposite effect. If she really does like him, well damn, what a sneaky bitch, lol. Once again, I can relate to the problem Sayaka is having, but when you say something like "I can't hold or kiss him", whilst simultaneously holding Madoka, it kind of defeats that purpose, imo. So what if you are a "zombie" go for him anyway. You still feel and think, right? |

| Great ep. Sayaka's mental degradation is a sight. Also, I like the way Kyouko's character was fleshed out. Really enjoying this rewatch. |
| I love how the characters break little by little, I still don't connect enough with Sayaka but it's gratifying. wtf, I rarely use the word gratifying xddd |
 |
| Kyubey doesn't give a fck LMAO What is this Godly OST?? i love it!! Sayaka become unhinged!! |
 |
| think I really like Kyouko heh all the character design in this anime makes me want to pinch every characters cheeks though |
 |
| The red haired girl always right |
| Am I the one one who wishes Hitomi to die? Worse friend of all times... Imagine ur best friend says she ll confess to the boy you clearly love and only gives you 1 day to think about it. What an insensitive B****. |
| man those first 6 episodes were kind of a drag but this is starting to really burn hot |
| wonderful episode, i'm speechless. i completely revaluated kyouko, i like her way more now. |
| ''Touch the darkness inside me'' |
| In the house of God, Kyouko offers to Sayaka an apple of the tree of knowledge. Eating of the apple means she accepts her knowledge, and will bring herself to her Kyouko's level. But Sayaka does not: she empathizes with Kyouko's reasons, but rejects the fruit. Given what Kyouko has heard from her response, may her wayward soul find redemption? Yeah, I know that was pretty overtly drawing parallels to Christian thought, and I can't say if that was what they were going for. But then again, they are having this conversation literally in a church, so the parallels kinda write themselves. Overall: great episode, I love it when antagonists are given understandable justifications for their actions; not just Kyouko, but Homura and even Kyūbey (though I still don't trust that psychic ferret). The visuals during the witch fight were great as always, but this was my favorite so far, conveying so much action and emotion with only minimal colors. |

| "Nobody I've warned has ever believed me before". I find that hard to believe. Surely enlightening people with precise, exact clarification on all the stipulations involved in being a magical girl would incentivise at least some of them to reflect on it, or even question Kyuubey directly (which has never been done before, apparently). It's like every magical girl so far was just a bumbling, naive and gullible idiot before they were established as veterans when the series began; it creates a dissonance with their collective scepticism that is very much depicted as inherent to their person, rather than solely a learned trait. Characters like Homura and Kyouko unload their life philosophy on you every time they show up, but come across as lacking in conviction to actually act said philosophies out in a more practical sense. Sayaka is also psycho over a boy now. Potentially, that could end the remaining holdout of the "realism vs idealism" philosophical theme that I noticed being wrangled with for a while there. Though, given how it was somewhat unbalanced, with the "realism" being presented simply as delusion, it's no great loss. |
