Yeah, it was quite hard making out what was going on there. But I guess it fit the mood
''My heart is breaking because people call this Chidamari Sketch'' My ass. How was this a '' heart-warming happy story''? UROBUCHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Well the show is nicknamed Chidamari Sketch after all

This may sound pretty heartless, but whoever is really _shocked_ about this development hasn't been paying attention. Whoever holds Kyubey in high regards should take note what his sole priority was during the crisis. And at the end I really felt like bitchslapping Sayaka. "Give it back! This is Mami's..." - and THIS is what matters now? Your life has just been saved TWICE - from the witch, and from being contracted by force - and that's your idea of gratitude?
What a little kid. Interesting though that the truth came out in a blatant way BEFORE either committed. What's going to push them into the meat grinder now? |

Spoiler for :
To be fair, she is a little kid.I suppose revenge? Or perhaps the desire to continue on ''honoring'' her memory (though from what I understood, she hated being a MG) or perhaps wishing for her to come back to life.

Mami ;__; After her "I'm not alone" speech, it was obvious things weren't going to go well for her.
Also, the ED is a little creepy. edit: Oh hey, the end card is by the Sumaga/Axanael artist! It's also extremely out of place after this episode wwww Last edited by chou; 2011-01-20 at 14:34. Reason: adding onto post |

I don't think dark is the right word. I'm completely skeptical about words such as dark and complex. Maybe her death brought a heavier tone to the scene, but it is up to the next episode to carry on that tone.
I was kinda shocked with how the scene took place, but not with the result and I didn't find it sad at all. At least I think it was too soon for it to happen, hence I can't feel anything for Mami. Anyway, loving the music, as I knew I would. |

Being unlike me is the last thing I'd want. Thanks for pointing that out before I fell too deep into that. But in this case, the conflict of light and darkness is more about fanbase reactions than the show itself. Far too often I've seen people confuse "dark" and "gravitas", and trying to pull a show so far in the direction of "dark" that it loses itself. The good writing of this one, I think, means that won't happen, though it is true I still want some hope and light in there.
My point about optimism wasn't about it not being a good show - I can tell that it is - but more that I hope things ultimately turn out not in complete "dark" territory. |

Well, I was always suspicious of Mami because she made the pitch for becoming a Magical Girl even though it was blatantly obvious that it’s a sucker deal at best, and a lingering death sentence at worst. She partially redeemed herself in this episode, because she was coerced into the MG life without any choice, and she was suffering the LONELINESS of it. So this is what she had to gain: Friends. It doesn’t fully absolve her in my eyes from encouraging other girls to jump into the same deadly mess she’s in, but I can understand where she is coming from. She's a victim, too. R.I.P.
So much for Kyubey – for those who still believe in him. His only interest during the crisis was to contract Madoka and Sayaka. The parallel between him and Mephisto in Faust is now clear as daylight. I guess Kyubey will now start to put pressure on Madoka's and Sayaka's loved ones. Expect Madoka's mom to run into vocational troubles, and a rapid decline in Kamijou's health. |

Having said that Mentar, Mephistopheles is not a mere caricature of what is evil.

EDIT1: Found this image on 4chan... I think the parallel is not lost to most after all.

Honestly, I was VERY shocked by this episode. There I was, thinking "Oh there goes Mami kicking ass as usual", but the end really caught me off guard. At first I thought the witch seemed way too easy that episode, and it turned out it really was the case. And her past was very sad as well, she was pretty much forced into her situation. But she will be missed, I hope she has a cameo appearance later this season or something.
Now I'm ABSOLUTELY convinced Kyuubey is evil! |
