Finally, looks like there's something new.

At this point I'm basically just resigned to the idea that Rebellion will never get a follow-up. Which by extension means that I'll basically have to write it off from my personal canon entirely because all it accomplished was taking a story that had been neatly wrapped up and un-finishing it. Though in the grand scheme of things it's hardly surprising; That ending may have left a whole bunch of things open, but it did so in a way that was also pretty freaking awkward to try and continue off of. ...That said I will at least give this a look. |

The Kyuubey/Entropy problem yes but not in terms of character resolutions. The TV series tied both up neatly. The film unravelled both but only tied the Kyuubey/Entropy problem back together. The film's ending even has Homura herself hint that her situation is unstable and unsustainable for Madoka in the long run.
Though i guess what people would consider a satisfying resolution (or whether a satisfying resolution is necessary) is rather subjective. After all, did Spike Spiegel die? |

"Homura-chan, we're already friends! And we will be from now on! Forever!" This is something I just passed off as the writers trying to make the ending a little bit easier to swallow. But now that you mention it it would only make sense if this was Homura continuing to not let go of Madoka. It would be a bit hypocritical of myself to blame the pacing of the manga when I praised it for fitting so many details in such a short length, as it would be if I would to blame the directing for not showing more clearly that Homura has lost her mind in this scene since I criticized Psycho-Pass for not letting the audience figure out for themselves that a person has gone crazy. In which case the only thing at fault is me for my own lack of observation. |

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: The thing that makes the Rebellion ending so much less satisfying than the show's ending is HOW IT PRESENTS ITSELF. That, and the fact that we have it straight from the horse's mouth that Urobuchi had to be talked into even making more. Episode 12 was how he wanted the story to end. And we also have it straight from the horse's mouth that the movie's ending was at least partially motivated by a desire to leave the door open for more stories to be told. |
Look all I know is that Rebellion takes everything from the series and throws it in the shitter. It undoes the sacrifices and struggles all of the girls endured, it cheapens their deaths, and it cheapens Madoka's "big wish". It does all of this and replaces it with something worse, and it still leaves the ending just as open as the tv series did.
Rebellion was a mess and it soured me on the franchise. I'd rather they had made nothing at all. Which is how I feel about this new show. |

Like I said before, it would probably take both of them working together to make a world that wouldn't be fucked up somehow. |
