Indeed so

homura in a nutshell

That's really the best line in every anime analyze videos of all time

7:16 for anyone looking

Mafuyu :D

Me too

One of the anime of all time

When Madoka turned to Homura, and said, “Well that sure was Madoka Magica.” That was way too good.

truly the magical girl of all time

That sounds so wrong but I do agree that is the best part

Before the sickness, it seems the relationship was actually good. But when she got sick, the father left, no one came to visit her, and the only person that was left was the reminder of what she probably gave up in the name of that relationship. I'm not trying to justify what the woman did, because personally, I think Nagisa should have abandoned her. I'm simply trying not to look at this from a vengeful perspective.

as I was laughing at her wish I read your comment ...

rip magireco

by the way she immediately witched out after she realized she could've saved her mom. so she became a magical girl, and then did nothing, she just turned into a witch

@@sera_venus that was the most accepted theory before the event, give it a watch on youtube to see that actually she became a magical girl for a stupid reason on purpose, that way her mother would have died only because she didn't wish for it, because she didn't love her, according her own words. But she kinda of insta regreted it since she coudn't even protect her mother from a witch (she wanted her to die because she didnt wish for it, not to a witch), so she immediately turned to a witch, soon after her first witch battle.

That's Studio Shaft doing their thing. You can see the same in the Monogatari series. God I hope they make more shows like this...

@@Darkwing__Duck i don't even mind if they don't continue madoka, sangatsu or monogatari i just want to see them making more anime originals.

Watch pretty boy detective club, its made by shaft and the author of bakemonogatari

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@kopjevla I don't like being pessimistic but it's so over for Shaft... I don't care if Madoka 4 was literally announced, we're getting slop like RWBY and Quintessential Quintuplets instead for some reason. Forget Monogatari or 3gatsu adaptations, they're going the way of Hidamari Sketch and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei... (I actually don't believe this, 3gatsu Monogatari and Madoka are their big money makers but still I'm not holding my breath)

Nagisa had very dark thoughts for a 11yo, and it's no wonder she lasted about 5min as a meguka. Best girl, gotta get her some cheese.

@@reflectingPastChoicesvegito solos

​@@reflectingPastChoicesIf you want to give Nagisa 'the world's best cheesecake', then add a butt load of Sugar! Salt! Fat! That's what her guardian did; created a new lethal gift.

Honestly that's only real gripe i have about this otherwise amazing show is how basically the plot of the main character is how she is basically the chosen one to stop all witches due to experiencing the most childhood trauma all thanks to her own guardian angel who's been risking her life to accomplish what is to be her very destiny. In my opinion Madoka is the only real plot hole and character in the series who needed more work on her backstory and how she experiences all of these catastrophic events leading her to eventually become the one and most powerful magical girl she is destined to be instead of relying on her best friend to do all of the work for her. Other than that Puella Magi Madoka Magica is still one of the best anime of all time for it's deep, tight, well written, story. Rich, mysterious and thought provoking lore. Beautiful, stylish, and artistic visuals (aside from the scene in episode 3 where Mami's hand is seen clipping through her skirt while making her way to the second witch with Madoka in The Labyrinth). Epic, extremely fun and entertaining to watch fight scenes between magical girls and witches. Brilliant and unique twist combining magical girls with fantasy and psychological horror. And last but not least interesting, well-developed characters (Aside from Madoka) each with their very own unique personality and backstory. While Madoka may not be the most interesting and well written female protagonist in anime Homura, Sayaka, Mami, Kyoko and Kyubey more than made up for her lack of character. Overall I would give Puella Magi Madoka Magica an astonishing 9.5/10.

@@whitelichmage7004 ever notice walpuiga that last boss was actuly the time girl. Even states every time i go back into the past it gets stronger and stronger. And the fight always has a clock gears ticking

​@@whitelichmage7004 ??? literally the whole point of madoka's character is that she's a normal kid with a loving family living a completely normal and happy life, what do you mean by "the most childhood trauma"?? and even then, the way she reacts to the losses in her life in the anime's timeline is completely realistic? they actually do a great depiction of how trauma works on different people? i think you just didn't understand madoka's character. at all.

​@@deesmith8576 walpurgisnacht is an amalgamation of witches. they're not homura.

@@pau7886 True. It didn't take me until now to realize that the point of Madoka's story is that after witnessing Homura fail to change history and after making a contract with Kyubey in order to become a magical girl Madoka is stuck between making the right choice of continuing live her life and continue seeing her friends suffer or choosing to become the most powerful magical and continue to fight witches in another plain of existence at the cost of her own. Now that I think about it you're right that Madoka seeing the loss of her friends and them go insane (i.e seeing Mami die, watching Sayaka suffer knowing she can never see her best friend/love interest Kyosuke ever play violin again, and eventually seeing her go on a witch killing spree at the cost of using up all of her magic in order to protect others only for her to eventually be reborn as a witch in the process, Being forced to destroy Mami's soul gem after she temporarily goes insane after knowing that letting soul gems go completely black turns them into grief seeds and eventually turning them into witches, Seeing Kyoko forced to Sacrifice herself in order to destroy Sayaka thus buying her and Homura enough time to escape from the labyrinth and being forced to see Homura fail many times just to try and change history and stop Walpurgisnacht from wiping out all of reality which would ultimately be Madoka's destiny) I now understand that all of these things are enough traumatic events to shape Madoka into the thing she would ultimately become and that it's difficult between choosing to embrace your current life or choose to sacrifice yourself and everything you've ever loved in order to fight your entire to protect everything you love especially when you're someone like Madoka. Normally it doesn't take me this long to see a character's true given personality after rewatching a series countless times but that's probably also because I sometimes like to go by popular opinions and I forget that I have the right to form my own opinion and that it's just like the one quote by Albert Einstein suggests "What is true is not always popular and what is popular is not always true".

im sure it will come soon just like 2nd season of no game no life will be announced soon too.

@@EclairsAngel Fore Madoka the spin off series just finished so it's more likely the 4th movie will come out soon (oh and yeah, it was announced a long time ago)

there was a poster or smth 2 years ago

@@EclairsAngel Well, No game no life is halted because of the author's stupidity of stealing art designs and making it too obvious.

@@weredrgn i know i used NGNL as an example cuz its the most well known example but there are a lot of examples for other animes we got teased a 2nd season but we didnt get any

Thanks!

Thankfully I discovered this channel because Lunar decided to cover Fate, it's one of the three anime related channels I watch on yt. ANd yeah still waiting for him to blow up

I'll give it a month tops

agreed, yes, correct, good, marvelous, great, positive

The YT algorithm blessed me a few months back. I look forward to every video!

True. But if you want an actual cute Anime then watch Made in Abyss. It's cute and fun.

@@Jordan-Ramses Ah yes you're absolutely right. Such a fun adventure filled with so many wholesome and adorable characters!

Why wouldn't it be, when it's Yuki Kajiura working on it xD In all seriousness though, more often than not, when you have Yuki Kajiura on the team, you know that atleast the music's gonna be good. I've so far only tried a few of the anime she's worked on (including Madoka, Vanitas, and a few others, planning on watching Erased and Princess Principal next), but that's been consistent so far. (If you're interested, I highly recommend Anime Music Podcast's video on episode 3 of Madoka, they go deep into the technicalities of sound design and all, it's a really good watch, albeit long)

she is 8 yrs old to be exact.

she wished for a cheesecake out of spite because her mother was dying she was gonna wish for her mother to be in debt to her but she didn’t because she wanted to do it herself

I am glad I get this reference

Made in Abyss is another one, haven’t watched the second season yet but still a wonderful example. Edit: Ranking of Kings as well, highly recommended to me but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

@@Gottaloveaxolotls i actually learnt to be super cautious with made in abyss because of madoka...

@@dorothychoy1056 excellent idea, *but you will succumb to it eventually, as did many*

@@Gottaloveaxolotls don't worry, already did, in the manga years ago. while the writer was taking a break in releasing more mangas to play the latest splatoon at the time... i told myself... maybe i should stop too... i cannot imagine how anime is showing... ummmm u know... 🤢

@@dorothychoy1056 umm yes, putting children through hellish traumatic experiences into maximum overdrive is the standard.

I thought her mom was a lush. Now I know that coming home late drunk is a sign of your dedication to work in Japan.

This is pretty of why she's Best Girl Junko "Actual Mother of God" Kaname.

Talking like that is pretty badass

Pensuke: The utopian system of Litches and Daemons is good!

I wish I did

Reminds me of that Silva Gunner version of the Azelf/Uxie/Mesprit battle theme that turns into the MSMM witch battle theme (Venari Strigas).

Who's that pokemon?

I guess he was joking... I guess

Probably not but maybe when the other movie comes out (in 2030)

No Clue

Agreed! Madoka Magica is easily a 9.5/10. Aside from a simple minor plot hole with the main character this series is a near masterpiece thanks to it's tight well-paced with interesting, unique cast of characters (Aside from Madoka herself). Deep, mysterious and thought-provoking lore. Beautiful, stylish and artistic visuals. Extremely fun, epic and entertaining to watch fight scenes between magical girls and witches. Great and unique twist of mixing magical girls with fantasy and psychological horror and a sad yet bitter sweet ending make this series an absolute must have in your anime library if you have the guts to stomach dark, yet extremely well written, mysterious and thought provoking stories.

@@whitelichmage7004 its a 10/10 for me honestly

@unotamago9692 I would say Steins Gate, FMAB, Monster, Monogatari series and Violet Evergarden are 10/10's for me. My only true gripe with Puella Magi Madoka Magica is the main character. The whole trope of oh Madoka's destiny is to become the most powerful magical girl in order to destroy all witches due to experiencing the most childhood trauma from her best friend and guardian angel rewinding time and sacrificing her life over and over to accomplish what is to be her very destiny I thought was just bland and flat out lazy writing. But it's ok because Homura, Sayaka, Mami, Kyoko, Kyubey and everything else more than made for it.

@@whitelichmage7004 While you could consider Madoka's character journey a troupe now, it wasnt the case back during its first airring, it did what no other series had really done at the time and was honestly what stood out to me as a story. Another point in Madoka's case is that our perspective of Madoka in the original PMMM is of one that had countless alterations by Homura's countless attempts to deviate her from a fate of despair as a Magical Girl, Although not revealed until later on. Madoka's sacrifice to remove all witches and establish the Law of the Cycles was for the sake of all to never lose their hopes, as Madoka will be there for them, which is the main reason as to why magical girls become witches in the first place, by falling into despair. And honestly? That is why PMMM is a 10/10 for me. I do like the animes that you have listed though, especially VE, Monogatari and Steins gate

@unotamago9692 On second thought i take back what i said and give Madoka Magica a 10/10. Even though Madoka's character development may not be as tight as Homura's she still got enough of it in order to have a solid and believable character arc throughout the series. So the whole point of the plot was that Homura had been fighting her whole life in order protect her best friend from the horrors that would attempt to kill Madoka being that she would be viewed as the chosen one destined to destroy all witches due to experiencing the highest amount of childhood trauma growing up. Madoka would then undergo a mass emotional conflict trying to decide whether or not that choosing to become a goddess magical girl in order to save all past magical girls and rewrite all of history at the cost of her own existence would be worth the price. It took me until now to realize this after rewatching the series on my foreign all region blu ray/dvd player and testing out my Madoka Magica complete series blu ray which is limited to region 2 in the UK as my early Christmas gifts. I think if anything anime that would be more deserving of near perfect 9.5 ratings would be Code Geass, Hellsing Ultimate, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Re: Zero and Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni (i.e original) due to them all having deep and incredibly well written stories, interesting unique cast of characters, brilliant pacing and satisfying endings. The only true gripe i have with any of these otherwise amazing and series are a couple of minor plot holes that detract from the overall incredible stories.
