Kyubey was an alien, channeling the energy created from the Magical Girls' emotions to act as counterforce to Entropy's otherwise theoretically inevitable heat death of the universe, he is the reason it could be viewed as Sci-fi .

The only time I've seen a story revolve around a guy that had infinite wishes to use, the narrative had to turn him into a complete moron just to ensure that the plot lasted the full length of a movie.

Now, when I posted that I was actually thinkin of some of the aspects of the plot that I don't like in this show. For example, the restrictions to the wishes are not really explained in detail and really the characters didn't delve deeper into more logical and intellectual aspects of thought to attack their circumstances. They just simply seemed to only abide to (like they have no other option) the rules that the kyubey have said to be true and set those rules as boundaries of ther power. Hence, they suffer due to those boundaries. In a situation such as that, I would probably have asked the kyubey what sorts of wishes can be granted, the condition for it's use, how he actually makes the wish come true, etc. I would try to inquire more information and understand more of the situation and try to reason with kyubey and such... Well then again I am not a 11-13 year old girl and given the situation, that is probably what an 11-13 year old woud have done. Makes me really wish that there was a very very smart girl (maybe someone with the intellect of light yagami) in the show. I am a person who wants major questions that I ask of a show to be answered and this show left me with alot of important unanswered questions... |

If the girls' magical energy gets used up, then they turn into a witch. The same thing if a girl experiences despair and their soul gem starts dirtying naturally. Those are the only limitations. So basically, saying something like "I wish to have infinite wishes" would not really change anything because you would still just be limited/inescapably bound by your own magical potential/energy. Madoka's ability to resolve the ending was not just thanks to her wish. It was also thanks to her massive magical potential thanks to the karma built up around her by Homura. Basically, having "knowledge" or "playing smart", alone, would not have been enough in this series to really achieve anything. At best a normal magical girl would be able to avoid despairing and probably survive longer. You can read the spin-off manga Puella Magi Kazumi Magica if you're interested in some of the possibilities of this kind of scenario (the Puella Magis having more knowledge). But fundamentally, the ability to change or "fix" the Puella Magi system in any real manner basically lay only in the hands of someone under certain specific circumstances, such as Madoka. |

Shaft will be hosting a Madoka Magica booth at this month's Comiket 82. Their booth number is 221. I hope will hear some news about the new films coming in October. |

A Kyubey cake being sold for the Madoka Magica fans, to eat. It sounds and looks delicious, looks creepy but tasty from the looks of it.
Why can't we get this in Canada, I want to try it too and I'm a huge Madoka fan. This is saddening. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/inte...face-as-a-cake

He is Sugi-chan, a Japanese comedian famous for his Wild Daro~ jokes. He probably bought this one by himself (or rather, bought the PSP game and bring it with him while hospitalize). Interestingly, Shinbo seems to really like his joke (judging from his Twitter.)
