Sorry but I disagree. I expect Sayaka's self righteousness not to be explained because she's just a plot device, but Madoka's the main character, and her motivations should be properly explained because it's supposed to be the driving force behind her actions. And I'm not saying it's unsatisfactory or annoying (I don't care about that); it's just that this is no way to write a main character, and I should know, being a film student and all...
