^Let's see, I'd probably feel cured if I could make her whisper in my ears "Homuhomu" over and over again.

We get this!

Spoiler for Homura's Side Profession:

Yes...I'm terrible and I know it

Nah, that role is better off to Kyubey, as I have an urge to beat the crap out of both him and the character that Homura is supposed to be spoofing.

(Of course, when it comes to both SHAFT and Peanuts, I prefer the kawaii ones, although in the end, none of the SHAFT girls can top Woodstock when it comes to cuteness)

While I'd love to agree with you on Kyubey, theres just no character in this show better suited to give out advise then Homura. That monotone voice, deadpan attitude and doomsayer approach just fills her customers with hope! ^^

And if she gives the wrong advice and you go kill yourself, that's alright. She'll just try again!

Aaaaack that's long. I read it over and I can pull off a translation but... would a summary be okay?

Spoiler for Summary:

nth loop (implied to be the current loop, covered in the anime):

Homura thinks to herself that Sakura Kyouko would be reliable, and so she should get Kyouko onto her side. She recalls how Mami reacted (killing Kyouko) when she found out about the Magical Girls -> Witches thing, so she wonders if getting Mami out of the way first would be better... but she couldn't possibly bring herself to do that.

But then Mami does end up out of the game ("Not my fault! I tried, really!"), but at least Kyouko is on her side-- wait what the hell don't blow yourself up with Sayaka dammit!


n+1th loop:

So what's with Kyouko's sense of friendship for Sayaka!? (not that Homura has any right to talk). So that's out of the question. Homura can't afford to kill witch-Sayaka herself, based on the reactions in previous loops. She can't eliminate Sayaka before she becomes a witch or Madoka will be sad. And telling Sayaka the truth directly didn't work in the past.

So her plan this time: become friends with Hitomi, and arrange for the two of them to be chatting as Sayaka and Madoka are walking by. "Hey, Hitomi-chan, do you have a boy that you like?" says Homura as she desperately tries to fake her personality.

Hitomi admits she likes Kyousuke just as Sayaka happens to pass by, unnoticed by Hitomi. Sayaka later asks Kyousuke what he thinks of Hitomi and he says, "She's a pretty, well-brought-up, refined girl. I envy any boy who becomes her boyfriend." So Sayaka gives up on her wish and doesn't become a magical girl, and team HomuMamiKyouko goes in to fight Walpurgis' Night. Homura's feeling pretty good about all this... until they lose.

Madoka, knowing that Homura can redo it all if she becomes a Magical Girl, contracts with Kyuubey much to Homura's despair, and the loop starts again.

Oh yeah, in the meantime philosophical discussion with Kyuubey about why his race must turn the fall from hope into despair into energy, instead of the other way around. "When you contract with us your wish is granted immediately, is it not? Doesn't that constitute a rise from despair into hope? If we could not make up for that expense later on we'd be going contrary to our objectives. Besides, hope is an awfully unstable emotion. Far too unreliable."


n+2th loop:

Homura ain't taking any shit this time around. Even if she doesn't prevent Sayaka from joining them, their combined forces probably wouldn't equal the power of Madoka by herself. Therefore...

The first day after her transfer she becomes all buddy-buddy with all the girls in class, acting friendly instead of cold as she did in the first episode of the anime. And once she's the most popular girl around...

"Hey girls, check this out. His name's Kyuubey. Isn't he cute?"

"Want to join me as Magical Girls?"

Team Homura: 50 Magical Girls
vs.
Walpurgis' Night: 1 Witch

Overwhelming victory.

"Hey, Homura-chan, don't you think an awful lot of people have been absent lately?"

"Who knows. Perhaps the cold's going around."

"Maybe... but is there a cold that only infects girls?"

("Madoka... it's best if you don't know. Continue living out your happy life, unawares that it was built on the sacrifice of countless magical girls. If you knew that, someone as kind as you are would surely break down.")

"Madoka... I'm so happy I got to be friends with you."

The end.

The end.

I kind of got most of it without the translations. Pretty easy to guess just looking at the pictures. DOOOOKKAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN!!!

If I'm not mistaken (I could very well be) it's:

Zange (Kannagi) Yamada (Working!!)
Mio (K-On!) Kuroneko (OreImo)
Azusa (K-On!)

Man, if the show is serious yet comedic like that...I don't know how I'll feel.

thanks! the last one seems to be the most homu-like. she even got the right expression. the present homu-chan barely (if not never) smiles. if not for the eye color, i could mistake her for the original XD
