| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Dont know why a thread has not been created for the second movie yet. So I might as well start one. Second movie began where the first left off I noticed a lot more alternate scenes in the way they shot it. The transitions to the flashback we're interesting. I liked how well done it was. It was odd that after the homura flashback they showed the first opening. That was just odd. The rune ending theme was awesome as well. Overall, great movie. I would say it is just as good as the series. If I want to introduce anyone to the series I'd show this. 10/10 for me :D Praise be to Madoka. |

Luxanna said: Yeah, you're right. xDD But its nice to have something to bring home. I don't have posters. xDDThere you go, LOL. So you basically watched this movie for free and got another free movie. It was just a promotional movie poster as well, nothing special. Despite the inconvenience, the movie was enjoyable. The audience were lively as well. xDD Although I was a bit disappointed because there is not really any changes/improvement from the TV series. It almost feels like I am watching episode 8-12 just without opening and ending songs. The first movie was better. I am looking forward for the 3rd one. xDD |
| I TOTALLY GOT A FREE POSTER! Anyways, the second movie was as beautiful as the first. The backgrounds were stunning. I liked the added scene with Homura in the graveyard and then the trees. Looking forward to the last movie! |

Even there were technical problems to add salt into my wound. lol I got a poster, it looks amazing next to my other madoka ones. I got this great one of Homuhomu and Madoka from the clariS single Luminous. They had technical problems where I saw them too. Volume was up so loud, movie was cut off around the edges like it was on zoom |

| Better then the series ( Just some added touches made it so.) Though the theater I went to, the vocals for Kyouko were ear-splitting. |

| It didn't bring anything new to the table, but it was pretty fantastic. |

| This movie begins really good, but ends too fast for me!!! |
| Looks like "Connect" by ClariS is used ... twice. Once after Homura's past, once at the end credit with the anime's language. I cannot wait for next movie. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| This one was better than the first one. They seemed to have adapted it straight, seeing as they have less episodes to work with, so there wasn't any scenes that I could think of on the top of my head that was cut out. Again, I really like the new animation, like Homura in the graveyard with Kyubey. I will say, though, that the original series opening in the middle of the film caught me off guard. While it was awesome, I would've put it at the end of the film, along with the new version of Connect. So overall, I really enjoyed these two movies. Again, just on their own I wouldn't recommend them, but as films for the fans I thought they were great. My only complaint is that it doesn't really bring anything new to the series. It would've been great if they added a bit more to the series. Nothing big, mind you, but they've could've maybe expanded Homura's story or something rather, kinda like what the first drama CD did. But whatever, I liked it, and I'm really looking forward to the third film, and where the series will go from here. |

| I cried nine times throughout watching both of these movies I counted. First movie: 8/10 This: 10/10 Series: 10/10 God dammit I hate feelings |
 |
| I think I understand the series more now after the movie. 10/10 movie btw Mod edit: added spoiler tag |

| Basically my feelings for both movies |
| Everything the show is and more. 10/10 |
| Great movie! 9/10 for me That preview of the 3rd Movie really made me excited to watch it ASAP |
What was my signature again? |
| I'll keep my comment shorter than my previous one but the movie was still very stellar in terms of OST, animation, and characters. Yuki Kajiura sure knows her style of work.... Oh and yes, I remember the fight between Sakaya's new form and Kyouko. Damn, poor Kyouko and Madoka :( I feel sorry for them but the grim reality sucks in the PMMM world. Sakaya's corruption hit me hard again just like the original TV series. As I had thought though, Kyuubey still remains a heartless bastard and tries to make Madoka into a magical girl. ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人 Homura looks cute in glasses and braids in that alternate time line like I remembered though. So shy too :> The killings and struggles with Homura also gave me that nostologia that I experienced in the original TV series. Masterpiece in my book. I'll rate this movie a 9/10 since it's a recap but damn, this was a fun watch again. Third movie will be original material and I heard it will focus on Homura, my favorite magical girl from the series so I. Can't. Fucking. Wait. ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人 |

| Shaft is redeemed. Pacing issues instantly vanished without a time constraint. With time to add more scenes, it make these last 4 episodes even better than the TV anime. The soundtrack was more in line with what was in the anime, with the new tracks working much better. They didn't randomly re-arrange the tracks or move old tracks into weird places where it didn't fit. That graveyard scene with Homura, that is an example of how a soundtrack can be used to great effect. A hint of sadness, a hint of loneliness, a hint of hopelessness, exactly what the scene is showing. Removing the vocals during character speech. Not the random classical music, tunes with weak melodic lines in the first movie or music that totally does not fit the scene (upbeat music in sad scenes, brooding music in energetic scenes...) It's the small things that make the package. This is how the first movie should have been done. This is a movie worthy of Madoka. This is a 10/10. The flames have been rekindled for Rebellion. |

| I actually disliked the ending of the show when I first watched it (just the last two episodes, the |
| Pretty good. Definitely a step above the first movie and series. |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| Wow, the graveyard scene was insane. But yeah, the insert of the original OP was a bit weird. Watching both the movies is definitely a ride, and a great experience for fans of the original. I think when recommending Madoka to a friend, I'd tell them to watch the first eight episodes then Movie 2. |
 |
| Just watched both movies in one sitting. Reminded me just how great this series was. Beautiful OST and animation. Homura is of course my favorite character. I'm really excited for the 3rd movie now! |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| Loved it. This movie poured oil all of the raging fire I have for the Madoka series. 10/10 |
 |
| Wow, this was even more well done than the last half of the anime series. No pacing issues unlike the first movie. |
| A lot of fine details as well as background art is redone in the movie. Comparing it scene by scene with the TV series would be a rewarding experience. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| This is how a recap should be done. Fantastic movie. I really enjoyed it even though I have known the story Must wait patiently for the third movie. |
 |
| Such a shame that the first movie couldn't live up to the original series (due to cutting important scenes like the dream from the very first scene and Mami's wish, plus fucking up the already great OST and changing it, the only better aspect of it was the improved art). This one however, not only lived up to the series, but improved on it. The art was again gorgeous just like the 1st movie. Fortunately they left the OST mostly as it was, and some of them was actually improved, so I didn't have a problem with that. The only scene where the OST shouldn't have been changed was when Homura almost lost hope (and the little Walpurgis scene before it), it was a very emotionally powerful song and now it's the same as the Homura vs Walpurgis fight :/ The voice acting also seemed to be somewhat better in both movies. They didn't cut any important scenes as far as I remember, but rather they added new scenes like the graveyard scene (which was awesome btw) and the one after that, plus some minor ones here and there. I also really liked the countdown in the beginning and when it was going backward before Homura's past. The little flashing scenes (or whatever they were) between the time skips gave it a pretty mysterious feel. The fight with witch-Sayaka and Kyouko's sacrifice was improved and was even more powerful than before. Homura's fight with Walpurgisnacht was also improved, which was one of my favorite scenes from the scenes. Especially the beginning of it (now all the numbers are displayed during the countdown, plus Homura's transformation is great, and the OST wasn't changed fortunately). The ending wasn't really changed, not even the bonus ending-thing which we still don't really know what it's supposed to mean. I guess it's an interpret-as-you-wish ending. So all in all the 2nd movie gets the same score from me as the anime, a 9/10 (the first movie was an 8 for the reasons I mentioned both here and there). I still feel like that these two movies were kind of unnecessary as it didn't really change much apart from very few new short scenes and improved art. It was pretty much the same length as well. It was still good nevertheless. As for the preview, I'm kind of hyped and not at the same time. I hope they don't screw it up. I wonder if it's an alternate world-sequel or if it's going to be canon. |

| I think that bit at the ending won't make sense till we see the third movie. There must be a reason why they put the original OP (with redone scenes) in the movie. The lyrics are from Homura's perspective, so it's probably done to clear up this piece of information, if, by any chance, some people still hadn't caught onto that yet. With all the retouched scenes, improved OST and voice acting (though, was it really re-recorded, or simply remastered?), I found this movie a slight bit better than the first. The only complaint I have regarding both movies is that Madoka's dream was never shown in the first movie, and that this aspect was glossed over for the rest of the entire 4 hours that both movies combined span. So yeah, it;'s recommended that one should watch the show as well, to get a slightly better picture of it all. If I hadn't seen the series, I would probably give the combined two movies a 10/10, because I still enjoyed the heck out of them, even with the few flaws they had. However, I've seen the show and as impressive as the new scenes are, it's still a recap, and I find it pointless to truly rate those and thus, I don't. The question now begs, can the third movie live up to its expectations, or will SHAFT have bitten off more than they can chew? |

RazielZero said: I completely agree with you...especially about the music change when Homura almost lost hope. That was one of my favorite musical moments...I truly don't understand the reason for the change. All in all I enjoyed both movies...the only big complaints I have are about the OST changes primarily in the first movie.Such a shame that the first movie couldn't live up to the original series (due to cutting important scenes like the dream from the very first scene and Mami's wish, plus fucking up the already great OST and changing it, the only better aspect of it was the improved art).

| Wow. I can't describe how i feel, even though i've watched the TV series before, this still got to me in many ways. Its really hard to find gems like these. I cried my eyes out in several scenes, totally giving this a 10/10. Even though its a recap, it still deserves it. THE TRAILER FOR THE THIRD MOVIE. SHAFT, PLEASE LET IT BE AMAZING. PLEASE. |
| The ending was about the same I remembered I forgot how grant the impact surrounding it, involving an entire evolution and characters like Cleopatra, Jean D'arc and was Mulan even mentioned? ClariS and Kalafina songs really supported these movies well even reused Really curious about the 3rd part of the Trilogy Are they going to bring back Madoka!?! |
| Choose the wrong thing in poll, but that's ok xD Awesome movie! 1st was ok, I don't like Sayaka so watch her parts is always boring. But this one was full of Homura awesomeness, and Madoka awesomeness too! Looking forward to the next one! |
 |
| Homura's redone transformation amazing despite it's length. |
| So long as you yourself enjoy it, what does the thoughts of others matter to you? |
| Connect movie version, where are you. Ugh... |

| "If someone tells me it's wrong to have hope, then I'll tell them they're wrong, every single time." "You aren't just granting us hope. You're becoming hope, itself... the hope of us all." "If you think you can do it, then you've just gotta do it!" "Now I really don't have any regrets." "I remember that. And I will never forget it. That is why... I will keep fighting." Amazing. It's just as great as I found the corresponding TV episodes to be. Well worth the watch, and I will definitely watch it again in the future. I liked all the little changes to many scenes, it made me feel like I was watching something familiar yet different. The extended scenes were also appreciated, like the graveyard scene where Homura was talking to Kyuubey, and the penultimate scene where the two of them were talking again, in the new universe. Of course, I also liked how the voice audio wasn't something recycled but re-recorded for the movie - the lines voiced by the seiyuu sounded subtly different from my memory of the TV scenes. I didn't even expect to hear Connect in the movie, but I did and it hit the spot - though I loved hearing Luminous again as well. I admit I was a bit puzzled when Decretum started playing during Homura and Madoka's scene before she decides to make the fateful wish: Decretum was Sayaka's theme music. The preview for the third movie is promising to be something to truly look forward to... to finally bring everything to a close, full circle. I have hope for it, and I believe in the people who created this story to be able to deliver. --Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. --As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
