Isn't sayaka supossed to heal twice as fast as a regular human? the pink-haired girl that attacked her said that she sould be out of commission for at least three months. Why does she wakes up instantly then? shouldn't she be knocked out for at least 1 month & a half?

Loved Homura's scene at the end. That hair flip really gave a "bitch please" vibe xD

Now on a side note, how "wishing something for someone else" grants you with regenerative powers?

Anyways, good episode. I particularly liked how they are building hope for Sayaka's love interest in the most ominous way possible. His deal isn't going to end well in the slightest.

And regarding Kyouko, she's, as expected, an annoying brat but someone needs to give both Madoka and Sayaka a reality check. Not everyone can be that altruistic.

Homura is gaining my respect rapidly. However, the show is getting sort of repetitive with it's "Madoka is in a crisis/danger" and a second away from making a deal but then Homura sweeps in and saves her. I hope this series proves me wrong and throws in a twist.

Would be nice if homura would have let the red haired chick slap Sakura around for a bit, because goddamn she needs it. Not only does she have the power to protect herself,let alone the city nor does she know anything about the lore of the magic girls and she thinks she is in the position to moralize about it especially to someone with a lot more knowledge about it and actual fighting experience?

I don't support the actions of the red haired chick,but Sakura has no right to say anything about it considering how this is all is hero role play for her and her almost sickly obession with helping people with ulterior motive in mind.

I got the creeps when she wheeled out the violin guy to the rooftop with his loved one's waiting for him. If she was the one who organized that then she basically accepted the reality of her wish of healing the guy being one where she wants to make him depended on him. Sick shit.

..despite the cliffhanger atleast this episode is a bit lighter, I can finally sleep now.. but really loving the way it shows all the problems that come with being a magical girl, fictional works generally don't show this side to magic, atleast as far as I've seen..

and, it's not just their thankless dedication and loneliness, I have a bad feeling, which was made stronger by the red haired mahou-shoujo's food-chain dialogue "Witches eat weak people, we eat witches".. there's an inevitable dark side to everything huh.. And, for some reason, I feel like people in utter despair or in great need make that one wish in exchange for everything including themselves.. it's quite sad and feels unfair..

I love how we're almost half-way into the series and the main character is yet to become a magical girl

The soundtrack is great!!!

Honestly impressed Madoka hasn't made s contract yet, this far into the season.

There's clearly something off here with her and Hormura, and I'm hoping its surprising enough that none of the ideas I have right now are right.

Fight scene between Kyouko and Sayaka pretty cool, and seeing Homura pop in was a bit unexpected.

Borderline thinking about dropping this show as the psychological aspect is a little disappointing and the show overall lacks impact, kinda perplexed on it's high rating up to this point. Albeit, many of the reviews hold this to high regards so I will try to hold patience with it but at this point it sits at a light 7.

Poor poor Sakuya... Kyuubey also seemingly a manipulative opportunity to rope Madoka into the magical girl lifestyle.
Something tells me that little creature is the real bad guy...

A good piece of information was dropped in this episode: you receive a specific power depending on your chosen wish. This is a neat concept. Me like it.

Kyoko brings a much-needed aggression to the show, increasing the amount of action. Nothing beats a one vs one between Mahou Shoujo's now. Sayaka, tho, held her own against Kyoko. Not bad for a noob.

For some reason, I find Kyubei's one-note face to be rather adorable. Menacing, but adorable.

Was kinda hoping the crazy redhead wasn't going to kill anyone after she just mentioned beating up in the last ep's ending. But no dice things went that way regardless.

Feels like the witches should be winning out here unless perhaps they also have infighting issues.

So we get introduced to Kyoko more in these episode. I have mixed feelings about her, but that fight scene with her and Sayaka was interesting. Decent episode but nothing crazy either.

I really llke Kyouko. She's a great contrast to Sayaka.
Shaft did a phenomenal job with the pacing of the anime.
Also, I don't understand why some people are hating on Madoka tbh. She's a great protagonist IMO.

A definite highlight of the series right now is Sayaka. Her convictions behind becoming a magical girl to heal her friend as well as the fact that she wants to take out familiars before they kill people and become witches really make her a character that I'm rooting for. Again, I'm pretty annoyed with how Madoka's character had been pretty static as all she does is whine and be indecisive, and when she actually does almost make the wish Homura appears as she gets out of jail free card. Regardless, this was a pretty solid episode.

Kyubey really is so suspicious, He's always ready for Madoka to become a Magical girl. He says its against the rules but the way he puts Madoka on the spot is basically coercing lol. I'm betting he's the big bad here or maybe I'm wrong. I'll find out.

i'm so glad sayaka survived the fight with kyoko

So Kyouko is farming witches by letting familiars kill people until they become witches, but to what end? The Grief Seeds are still only relevant when it comes to killing even more witches and familiars, and have no value in society. Not to mention that witches are much more dangerous to magical girls (like Mami), so letting them propagate intentionally is a risky manoeuvre.
