Why Madoka Magica Made Me Cry

Madoka Magica is the series of all time... the saddest series of all time.
I wanted to get into this series for a long time, was put off due to the first episode's imagery, but after some pressure from the internet and friends, I finally relented and decided to go along with it. Little did I know that it would (somewhat) change (debatable-ly) my life (my only one) forever (probably).
Since you're reading this though, here's some other thoughts I didn't put in the video:
Opinions on the magical girls:
Madoka: she's my favorite because she is the queen of queens and the light of the world; she's what I want to be as a person!
Homura: I didn't like her at first, but as time moved on, I understand and sympathize with her feelings, even after watching Rebellion.
Mami: What I said about popular cosplayers/artists reigns true, she's so cool and awesome (bc she's my best friend's favorite), but she needed more screentime to be honest.
Sayaka: She's the raspberry, she's blue badabee dabadaa. I love her charisma and her selfless wish she made for Kyousuke, but I LOVED how she became ignorant when she encountered...
Kyoko: I love the apple girl a lot because of her sacrifice and her "tough-guy-exterior" but vulnerable inside... I swear I know this character archetype but idk what it's actually called.
The best episode was episode 10 and 12; I can't choose
The music was knee-SLAPPING! I loved Mami's theme a lot.
I skipped the madoka magica op rip
And finally, I watched the series in two/three days in class and at home. It was a fun watch between downtime!

This anime is just 😢 Anyway if you really liked me doing this then I'll take a look into Rebellion (the controversial movie). This is an experiment to see how it feels to expand my content out. In the meantime, Touhou video soon. 🍕 Twitter --> Suwawako2 🍕 Kofi --> suwawako

@fireblazenotbulgaria3053 8 ай бұрын

Idk why rebellion is so controversial other than the ending feeling slightly rushed and left somewhat unexplained asides from some exposition from Kyuubey giving some insight to as how the ending even occurred in the first place (which tbh the series in general tends to rely on quite a bit for explaining difficult concepts). Though imo the ending is still a bit iffy with how convoluted it is, I find that it works perfectly fine as far as character development goes.

From what I've heard, Rebellion wasn't too well liked when it released, but over time it grew on the fanbase, and it's generally considered to be a masterpiece nowadays.

@tastefullynerdy1161 8 ай бұрын

Rebellion is just the perfect continuation of Madoka's story as it just fucks with your expectations about what'll happen and gives us a BRUTAL 180 on Homura without her becoming a one-sided monster and still loving Madoka to literally no ends in her own twisted way. Homura could only take so much, no wonder she snapped.

What I really love about Madoka Magica is the aesthetic. While they could have just took the concept of a dark magical girl anime and said, "Add tons of blood and super edgy/scary imagery" and called it a day, they actually did something unique with it. It's not so much scary as it is abstract and surreal. You're not immediately turned off, as the art looks beautiful, but there's that feeling that something isn't quite right going on, and only then when shit hits the fan, where you see everything for what it truly is.

@Snailing_Suika 8 ай бұрын

I love that they put surreal mystery in terms of visuals and emotional brutality in terms of the psychological writing style over gore and horror aspects.

@blockeontheleafeon 7 ай бұрын

This is exactly what "Magical Girl Raising Project" did. It's a show about cute magical girls except there's blood and death for no reason.

Fun Fact: In the PSP game, there is a route where Homura didn’t get Sayaka’s soul be, as she threw into into a witches’ barrier. You are basically given 3 days to locate the barrier defeat the witch and procure the soul gem or Sayaka’s body begins to *ROT.* She goes to Kyousuke unknowingly looking like the zombie she thinks she is.

@leonidtimofeev1178 8 ай бұрын

One of my favorite things about Madoka is how batshit insanely beautiful it looks. Not only do labyrinths look like Yellow Submarine-inspired narco-fever dreams, even "normal world" looks distorted and uncanny. Every frame of this anime is wallpaper-worthy. My favorite visual is probably Sayaka's desperate beating of that witch (can't remember her name) shown in black-and-white, Bad Apple style (and Sayaka even smiles kinda like Flandre...). I'm not even talking about Rebellion which crancked the psychedelic imagery up to eleven. Also, Sayaka's theme sounds really similar to Lullaby of Deserted Hell (and they both sound similar to Scarborough Fair).

I watched the series in 2016 and rewatched it in 2023, both in just one day. This anime was an intense roller coaster ride. It is a masterpiece with one of the best stories I've ever seen. Madoka is my favorite character. Her kindness was very influential to me, and I absolutely love her design.

@Suwawako 8 ай бұрын

That's why she's my favorite 😢😢

@Snailing_Suika 8 ай бұрын

the 2 moments that always get me are when Sayaka chooses to die the 2nd time to keep her wish true for her love while he plays ave maria. and the scene that gets me the most is when Madoka is about to know that she will never come back and lies to her mothers face about coming home again while her mother has the courage to let her go and do what has to be done. The 2 ultimate sacrifices of this show. Both Sayaka and Madoka are Martyrers that died for what they believed is right. In fact Sayaka's stubborn sense of rightousness is part of the reason why Madoka came up with her last wish as she said herself during the ave maria scene.

@BestMeguca 8 ай бұрын

As the supreme Meguca, I hereby order you to read the Different Story. It’s a spin-off of Madoka for what would happen if Mami lived. There was also Puebla Magi Oriko Magica (there were two, the original and sadness prayer, sadness prayer being the better one) which is different but I recommend it as well.

"Without love directed inward the power of love only has the potential to corrupt"- WattheWut Only by loving ourselves can we accept love and the sacrifice of others. I am glad you could experience this tale and share it with us. For me, Rebellion is the natural progression of the story ( At least for Homura's character) I am not able to imagine how I would perceive the show without the movie

@OpheliaTerat 8 ай бұрын

I feel like all the dark magical girl shows that came after Madoka fail to capture what made it great. Magical Girl Site and Magical Girl Raising Project just felt like edgy torture/misery porn and I couldn't take them seriously or really care about most of the characters. Some of the stuff in them also felt super weird and out of place, like panties being the magical weapon of one of the girls in MGS. She's also a 14 year old loli💀

I saw that title and thought "wow... same." And even at the exact same moment too. I've definitely teared up at stuff before, but that scene... that was the first and only time a piece of media made me full-on bawl my eyes out. If you do decide to make more content looking into Madoka then that'd be pretty neat. being meguca is suffering

I have only watched the first couple of episodes of Madoka, and I do enjoy it despite it being dark (let's be honest, sometimes I like dark stuff) but one thing is that I do know is that there were some collabs seen in a vast majority of companies and games. The one I do know is that there is a new Madoka Magica movie coming up, and as said above, there was a collab I wish for it to return and it would be The Battle Cats. They have done the PMMM Collab a couple times, but I'm hoping PONOS (the devs and company behind The Battle Cats) would do it again when the new Madoka Magica Movie releases. But thanks for motivating me to watch Madoka Magica more. I might plan to watch it again in the future.

This is interesting to me seeing as this anime may have served as a small inspiration for the five magical girls of Project Moon verse, the Queen of Hatred, the Knight of Despair, the Servant of Wrath, the King of Greed & the Jester of Nihil as well. On the side note, the first thing that comes to my mind when it comes to them is an animation of QoH happily roaming around the facility while Chirumiru plays.

Madoka forevermore has a place in my top 10 greatest anime of all time, usually knocking right on the door of the top 3 (after ToraDora, Fate/Zero, FMA:B). It's just peak. The tragedy, the emotions, the concept, the animation, the character design clashing with the nightmare fuel that the witches are, the music (god the MUSIC!), the voice acting, the characters (and their shipping potential lol), the symbolism, the impact... Madoka is a classic.
