Sayaka's reasoning is kinda dumb... What you've experience is NOT that bad. Yes, it's messed up, but there are many other girls like you. Not to mention that just because of the way you are now, doesn't mean you can do stuff like talk to the boy you like or be happy. If you hadn't discovered this detail you'd be living in a blissful ignorance and wouldn't be this concerned about it... Also, pretty f'ed up to talk to Madoka that way. She may not have suffered first hand like you did, but she experienced a LOT of traumatic stuff, and is still suffering nonetheless.

She's the one that's making herself suffer with all of these excuses for doing nothing and driving others away. Cursing others and the world for her own life choices and things that could've been easily be avoided had she just take a stand and did something instead of passively watching.

I LOVE the way this series is portraying the human psyche with all these magical and fantastic elements. How easy it is for someone to blame everyone and everything, slowly tainting their perspective of the society and world they live in. Despair, hate, suicide... The birth of a witch...

Dang, I almost wrote an entire essay.

this bitch said she's fighting in madoka's stead, loooool. sure jan. you made that stupid decision yourself, live with it, the fuck? it's not like if you didn't turn into a magical girl, hitomi and madoka wouldn't have been saved. kyouko and homura were there. you did it because you wanted to cure kamijo, for that selfish desire which backfired. what is all this bullying over you ruining your own life?

even though i already knew that homura goes from alternate timeline to timeline for madoka's sake, nothing dulls the reveal. i had a feeling it would be similar to claymore, as in the whole "you defeat them but eventually you become it," twist. is there a second season? it's taken me many years to finally get to this series again after dropping it, but i'm glad i did eventually. (dropped it since it didn't catch my attention while scrolling on crunchyroll that time.) and the reason behind picking it up is due to coming across the second ending, where madoka is running to "magia" (kalafina). it's a pretty powerful pick, i don't skip it because after every amazing episode, i jam tf out.

And Sayaka has fallen to the Dark Side. And Homura is actually just a really mean and misunderstood Tsundere.

The "Witches are actually Magical Girl" twist could be seen coming from a mile away but what exactly is the Incubator's plan here ? What does an endless feedback loop of magical girls turning into witches and other magical girls killing those witches achieve and then being depressed and turning into witches achieve ? I guess we'll find out.

When it all!!! When it all falls down!!
Shaft headtilt.
Sayaka gives the Seed to Kyoko.
Sayaka is weak.
Shaft headtilt.
Homura and Kyoko.
Kyubey.
The curse is coming from within herself?


Sayaka is an idiot. I knew Kyubey was not to be trusted. Also, we've see Sayaka look after Kyosuke and now that he's healed, he ain't look for Sayaka.

why do they even bother to work after the wish is grunted like

you sighted up a contract > wish come true > you kinda walking around ignoring witches and your whatever Soul remain clean

what that little cat going to do? fire you? k-word you? well you're gonna die anyway so at least it going to be on your terms

or he's choosing only workaholic girls?

the cat not even THIS organized he's got a job to brainwash more girls into becoming magic girls so there's no real control

Think it was mentioned in ep2 or sth that MGs passively use magic even to maintain their bodies.

Sayaka's being a bitch just because she thought becoming a magical girl superhero would solve all the problems in the world and blames everyone else for it. Really?

It's clear to me now that these characters are like empty shells (quite literally) whose purpose is for Madoka to end up making the decision to submit to her own "fate", which is like the big reveal that's being foreshadowed. It just annoys me how her only purpose is to sit back until then and complain about what she's gotten herself into until then

That little monologue from Kyuubey at the end of the episode got me thinking. The way he says it, it's like magical girls are destined to become witches. And since Madoka is so strong, she would probably be unstoppable as a witch. It's starting to seem like that's Kyuubey's ultimate goal, and that's what Hamura came back to prevent.

Sayaka has been thrown over the edge, and Madoka still wants to become magical to help her. Somehow Homura seems like the sane one in this show.

Homura is confirmed to have Time Magic by Kyubey. Honestly, it was pretty obvious from how many hints they threw at us.

So Hitomi did actually like Kimijou. Colour me baffled. I guess that drama tag wasn't just for show, huh.

And Sayaka finally reaches her breaking point. Did she kill those douchebags? kinda deserved if so.

Homura's pad is uh interesting, very spartan. And all the clocks, must be a time traveller then right? maybe that dream at the beginning was more a flashback not a flashforward.

And Magical girls become witches? I that makes sense but I thought it was familar-witch, or is there two kinds perhaps? some witches seem more humanoid than others.

What a banger episode. Wow.. The way Sayaka got turned into a witch in the end is one hell of a twist. I love how Homura burst into tears trying to prevent Madoka from becoming a magical girl. It was so interesting seeing her be something outside just seeming cold and emotionless. I think Kyoko and Homura are my favorites so far.

Things are really starting to unfold.

Sayaka is really trippin. Took a whole 180 compared to the beginning of the show. She was the main one standing on her beliefs and here she abandoned them all and now refusing to accept any help.

Homura really is the goat of the whole show. Repeatedly cock blocking Kyubei’s attempt to pull Madoka in. Then attempting to help Sayaka. On top of other things. I really screaming at my screen at Madoka when she was about to make that contract but boom, Homura saves the day again!

I didn’t expect her to turn to Trunks and travel to save the MC. Then the reveal about witches!? Bruh. I’m hooked on this show

Muitos fãs do anime condenam Sayaka por sua teimosia, mas a real tragédia dela é que seu idealismo não funciona em um mundo onde nada é o que parece. Se ao menos alguém tivesse conseguido arrancar a menina de sua depressão...

i fear that sayaka has reached the point of no return, it's unbearably sad to watch.
homura is trying everything to protect madoka, even at the cost of killing someone for her, she is so interesting as a character, and knowing that she came from a different timeline helps to add more mistery in the show.
Hitomi confessing her love for kyosuke hurt my soul.
madoka is so kind i don't know what to say, i hope nothing happens to her but i'm afraid that everything is going to become a mess in the next episodes.

For some reason I thought Homura might've had a more complex motive, but this episode reveals that she is just yandere who wants to scissor with Madoka. Guess that streamlines things, huh?

Kyuubey can make Madoka an omnipotent deity? By default, this would make him an omnipotent deity by extension, which means he could've just forced Madoka and the rest to become magical girls if he really wanted to. But then again, since Kyuubey seems to be the antagonist, maybe this is just a God's Playground situation.

This anime is becoming a bit of an angstfest now, but can't say it didn't set a precedent for it as is.

This is such a sick, perverted, cruel anime. Everything is so bleak and hopeless, and you've really got to feel for Sayaka. She would never want anything but the best for her friends, and of course there was something more to getting one's wishes fulfilled. It's striking that she was so eager to do good for someone else, completely neglecting her own wants and needs in the process. Maybe that's all she ever wanted and needed then, for that boy to get better. But now she's a markedly different person, so clearly shattering under the weight of this new responsibility. If only that wicked, red-eyed cat-fox mutant had the shred of decency to inform her of the finite nature of her soul, now shackled and bound by this sadistic obligation. There is no doubt that Kyubey's plan was to gather Magical girls to turn into witches later down the road.
