| indeed, we need more answer to rebellion, considering rebellion was hilariously weird with unexplained twist, original ending was better imo |
 |
| I think they could've just stopped at Rebellion because topping that is near impossible. If they do that I'll be damned |
 |
| I think Madoka is in the unique position were the original ending was good, but so was the choice to extend it. Rebellion ended with a hard cliffhanger though and we have speculated about a proper sequel basically since it launched. I remember seeing an interview from the VA and director implying the original take sounded "too final" so I always had hope. I wouldnt mind if this continues for more than just movie 4, as long as the quality remains high. 12 eps and 2 movies is barely 2 cours, so thats definitely not an oversaturation or milking. Speaking of which, is this supposed to be related to the mobile game/anime in any way? |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
Ryoketsu said: The anime had a perfect ending that needed nothing else, while Rebellion's ending screams for a sequel. The third movie was never necessary, but after it, the fourth movie is extremely necessary to close everything that the third left open. This. Thank you. You just forgot to mention that Rebellion sucks, since TV series has a perfect ending/closure, just like Code Geass. |
Hatreddd said: indeed, we need more answer to rebellion, considering rebellion was hilariously weird with unexplained twist, original ending was better imo Nothing of sorts. Everything is explained in the series, maybe you failed to understand it. There are a bunch of good video's on YouTube that explain it. Yes. Both the anime and the Rebellion had perfect endings alone. The rebellion was not necessary, yet it ended up fitting very well in the story.. When you look at how the anime evolved you see a pattern. At the end of the anime, Madoka made a selfish choice, ignorant of Homura's feelings and how it would affect her when she chose to become a God but let Homura be the only one to remember her. In Rebellion it was Homura who made a selfish choice in overwriting Madoka's will and choices. At the same time, both choices were selfless. Madoka sacrificed herself to save the magical girls from becoming witches. Homura on the other hand, chose to bring Madoka back after she realized that Madoka herself was a normal girl who wouldn't make that choice and wouldn't want to leave her family and friends and be forgotten. Both choices were made out of love, but their ideals are different. So in the 4th movie, we need them to confront those ideals, and rather than make selfish choices for each other, look each other in the eyes, and make a choice together. Unlike the anime, Rebellion had an open ending, which made it clear that a confrontation between Madoka and Homura was unavoidable. We need a conclusion. |

| I just think it should've ended with the main series. Perfectly fine, sad and bittersweet ending with Homura never truly achieving her desire to be with Madoka, the latter managing to save everyone (and potentially the universe) from Walpurgisnacht. Honestly I didn't really like Rebellion, it ruined it for me, so that's why I believe the sequel movie is needed. Plus one major asset of the series, that being Walpurgisnacht, never received any background or details surrounding her identity, and I hope for this to happen with the sequel movie. Like, who or what is Walpurgisnacht, exactly? |

i want a happy ending for homura, please creator senpai
| @GothPuppy A happy ending with everything she did isn't easy, and neither I think it is what I want to see. I have shipped Madoka x Homura ever since Rebellion, they are probably my yuri OTP due to everything Homura did for Madoka, so I want that twisted love to be explored, but whatever outcome comes from that... what I want is for Homura to be satisfied with what she achieved in life leading to this. I want everything she did to matter, to maybe break Madoka and the other girls out of the loop for good, but I don't think such a thing would fit the movie and the series without heavy sacrifices and consequences. A happy ending will not fit this series. Such an odd affirmation, anyone would normally want a happy ending for their favorite works, but the genius of this franchise is that it twisted my feelings for it to the point even if we get something horrible (not in the sense that sucks, but very fucked up), i m all for it, as long as the journey made me genuinely feel for the characters and see once again all that sweet despair. |

| Personally would've wanted this series to stay as grounded as it was instead of turning into space goo... like every anime ever. But I'll probably watch this 4th movie as well, when it's available for me. Maybe. |
| I was perfectly happy with how the TV series ended. Rebellion was... Interesting, and I don't know if I like it or not. I admire it for it's artistic side, but have mixed feelings regarding the story. Overall, I'd absolutely watch the 4th movie and really curious how will the story conclude. |
| I just need more Homura in my life. |
 |
| short answer yes, long answer no. |
 |
| No. Series ending was actually amazing. Movie ending I personally really liked still. I don't think it needs to keep going. |

| @Gar_Logan The sequel is necessary. We clearly saw the universe re-written by Homura is very unstable and her altitude of feeling guilt and smirk is also problematic. We need to know what the contradiction of causality caused by Homura's decision will bring about and how it will be resolved. |

| I needed it. I certainly didn't feel rebellion was a satisfying ending to the series. |

| They could have stopped at TV and that'd be fine but Rebellion is an awful ender. Homura doesn't deserve to get things her way, her mind's clearly corrupted. What happens when Madoka dies of old age or an accident Homura can't prevent no matter what? Would Homura forcefully reincarnate her? Assuming that's possible, it would prob work in way similar to how Godoka housed pre-witch magical girl in her realm somewhere. As much as I love Homura, her world sucks and while, consciously or not, she did give some positive attention to to other magical girls, Madoka is pretty much her sole focus. Godoka had compassion for everybody. In my preferred ending, Homura joins Godoka's side and is tasked with watching over the Incubators. If it wasn't for them, Akuma might have never been born and we wouldn't want that happening again. Or both Madoka and Homura die and we get re-enacment of the scene from TV where they were both lying on the ground before Madoka cleaned Homura's witch seed. Out of all flashback scene, I feel like this one showed them being the most close with each other. Madoka is supposed to inherit all her memories from the failed timelines, so I'm sure she understands how much of a trouble Homura can be if left alone. |
 I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes. Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that. It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers. Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot? |

| @Hakaminah Madoka's world wasn't perfect either. Even if there are no witches, magical girls still be created and fell into despair and tragedy under the the control of the Incubators, but Homura's rebellion finally broke this cycle and neutralized those cursed cats. You should read the Wraith Arc, the manga that connects Season 1 and Rebellion.(Fucking Shaft should've animated this first before the Rebellion...) There, in some ways, it's even worse than when the witches were around. It became harder for magical girls to survive from battle, and there's even Madoka's witch, which is even more disastrous than Walpurgisnacht and was prophesied directly to the destruction of the Earth. Homura really did nothing wrong, and it's not even a meme. |

| @GETNAKED Next you're gonna tell me to watch YT of the video game that closed. I ain't got no time for that. Don't know how Madoka's witch could exist with her existence erased and I ain't got a damn to spare atm. Both the TV and the Rebellion movie were original titles, the latter build upon the former. That's all it needs to be. The series went multi-media has has like 20 mangas, no one's gonna read all that just to watch a movie. And even if Homura's world was somehow better than Godoka's, she still sucks eggs so this ending for the series as a whole is nothing but lame. If she "did nothing wrong", then she would deserve a better ending than *this*. |
