Thanks to Madoka, it makes all the anime that came after Madoka (except Fate and Tiger) look sad.

After what amounted to a very humiliating day, this quite really cracked me up laughing. Thanks!

But how can that guy hate Madoka?! It is the ultimate magical girl deconstruction and its awesome and it has YURI and Kyouko x Sayaka is the one true pairing and Hitom is a biatch and Kyousuke is a chump who didn't know how good he had it., eitc, etc, etd,etc etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, Godoka is the MESSIAH who died for sins, etc, etc, and etc.

The funny thing is, it's almost the same kind of negative reaction coming from those some who watched Eva more than a decade ago, and they thought they were trolled right in with those last two episodes.

He only hated it cause it made the other anime look **** in comparison. Well except Fate/Zero and Tiger & Bunny and a few... but if you compare the good ones, Madoka stands out there XD

Just wanted to say its been one year since Madoka's initial airing. Happy One Year Anniversary, Madoka!

[sa547]

Yeah! :clap: Guess I should bring out the champagne just for this occasion.

Good idea,I'm saving cake and cheese to commemorate the anniversary that comes up in a couple weeks

I don't know what program this is, but damn cool, with what appears to be some personalities bringing out character sketches, with PMMM screenies at the back:

I can sort of make it out, but any chance of subtitles?

[Guernsey]

Well I hasdn't watch that much anime this year anyway so I might be immune.....I think.

[Romanticide]

Does anyone want to discuss Farewell Story?

[bhl88]

Mami and Kyoko.... separated by ideals. So sad

[Akashin]

Eh, I didn't really find Mami and Kyoko's story that sad (it ended on a far happier note than I thought it would). What I found more depressing was Kyoko's story in general; between her relationship with Mami and her deceptively ordinary home life, you could really feel why her family's death crushed her so horribly. I mean that wasn't something that was ever hard to buy, but seeing it shown in such detail here makes it a lot easier to understand.

Finally watched this one. Dayum. I don't cry easily, but I was blubbering nonstop through the last episode. I think this might be a record for the most depressing series I've ever seen (although I haven't yet seen Evangelion in its entirety).

In the end I thought it's worthy of its praise between its acting and especially its wildly surreal art (yes, I am a fan of surrealism). But I have one question for you fans...

I'm not exactly a feminist, and I don't see sexism everywhere I look, however I have been known to read a bit too much into things. Does anyone else see some slightly unfortunate implications in that in this show, females are so beholden to their emotions that they turn into psychic doomsday devices when they get too upset? It's not like males wouldn't suffer the same emotional issues that doomed these girls, but there don't seem to be any magical boys.

But no, I don't really think Urobochi is a misogynist who think women are unable to control their emotions. They say the basic purpose of art is to provoke a reaction in the viewer, and he certainly succeeded there. Congratulations, sir, you've created a profoundly moving, heart-rending tale that will go down in anime history, even if you did possibly traumatize your seiyuu cast.

I don't see any. The whole thing comes across more they're too young to deal with everything than because they're girls.

And they turn into psychic doomsday devices when they get too depressed not upset.

Also see some girls who deal with everything far better than the cast of the anime does in the spin-off mangas.

[AuraTwilight]

What NTFTH said. They're adolescents. I think the only reason Incubators don't target boys is for the meta-reasoning of "We're deconstructing Magical GIRL shows".
