I think we can all agree that Madoka is kinda on the weaker end of both the "do the logical thing" and the "never look back" spectrums.


Do we really have any idea about how the whole thing...

I actually agree. Like I stated in another post: I was hoping for a twist. Nonetheless, if it's a climax instead and it's executed well, I think I could live with that. While still hoping there'd be...

Er, I only used "ominous lighting" as an offside remark (that's why it's in brackets). Furthermore, I hardly think that him not changing expression is an obvious sign of evil. I didn't even think of...

People's expectations might differ, true. But allow me to expound on what Dharma stated.

The show built on the expectation that Kyubey is evil so much (with ominous lighting, even) that when come...
