I take it that the subs are already out? I mean, so many spoilers already and I am afraid of looking at them because I have been anxious about the last two episodes for a while. Sorry for being a noob at this but I just want to know.
I also stream my anime on sites which hosts them rather than downloading them, btw. |

I'm not quite sure why you're assuming this "all characters in the show are stupid, they should have listened to me to fix all in ep2" stance. It took much more knowledge than what was available at the time you claim things "could have been fixed". Seriously, watch and understand the conclusion in detail before you toss judgment around. It was much more detailed and faceted than you make it sound. |

Madoka and the others had no way of knowing any of this was possible from the very beginning. It took them this long to come up with the solution because this is something that could have never been done before. Yes, Some of the people here can understand and even translate Japanese a little.

Personally, I don't know how I feel about this ending. I like the eye candy, specially Homura at the end. But it's true this final is much more stereotypical "magical girl" than I was expecting. True, unlike Usagi, Madoka had to pay with her life for her little miracle, but other than that, it's Sailor Moon all over again at the end.
If there's a word I'd use to describe this ending, it'd be... "flashy"? But whatever. Overall, I didn't hate it, and Homura is Homura, so that's ok!

To say that ending disappointed me was an understatement.
Of course, I will have another run with subs, but I doubt it will clear that disappointment: while Episode 11 was really slow at delivering points and characters development (a bit similar to ep4 in a slower way), Episode 12 was really the "easy answer". I wouldn't go as far as calling it a deus ex machina, but it is close enough. I didn't mind any type of ending, be it fully happy, bittersweet or grimdark. I actually wanted one that was appropriate and "conclusive", which wasn't the case for me. At least, the emotional impact for Homura and Madoka's "farewell" was powerful enough, but the writing itself was really underwhelming in contrast to what we got previously. I can't say if it is entirely because the ending didn't please me or because of the wait (or the major awe Episode 10 generated), but I can't exactly consider that ending to my taste to put it bluntly.

Oh, there's nothing wrong with having yet another standard MG series. The introduction of this MG series was a bit different than normal and variety is nice. I suppose I was just a bit interested in the potential of where it could have gone, heh.

There is a difference between stupidity and ignorance. The latter can be corrected by getting information. The former means never bothering to think in the first place. But it's not like this is unique, either; I've watched a number of bad anime like Fafnir or Seikon where no really asks the reasons for why things go on, even though there are people right there who could explain.

Of course, that leaves another big plot hole: If Madoka could rewrite reality, then why do they still need to fight at all? But I suppose this wish was a huge step forward, and if wishes still exist, future MG's could probably further fix the issue. |

I'd say that this is the most happy ending that the series can get.
I think that you also forget that Homura wouldn't allow Madoka to do that. And I think that no one can make a wish this powerful in this new MG system. Unless someone can go back in time like Homura.

So again, that part is pretty typical "magical girl". The only real differece is Madoka's death, but I really was expecting something a bit more subverty than that.

The problem with Kaijo's argument is why would Madoka even ask for so much detail at episode 2? At episode 2 what Kyubey is offering is like a "nothing can go wrong" dream. Why would she even use her 1 and only wish for something like "getting rid of all the witches?" Any normal girl would think of fulfilling or acquiring something she wants not wish on breaking the system. And episode 3 came after that and we all know what happened in that episode to scare Madoka away.
