It came to mind in the last episode when Shingetsu briefly laments her life being decided....

I found it very interesting when Mango became aware of her doll status. Honestly, that reveal was brilliantly executed. The immediate aftermath of that was really gripping and good character drama. But I was hoping that this would result in something more like the classic Pinocchio story. Instead of, you know, Mango very calmly going to her death for the sake of Ernesta's wish...

Yea, while we could figure out Mangetsu was not normal, it was handed to her so brutally that we pretty much had to acknowledge her existence. "I suffer, therefore I am"? And indeed because she is a part of Shingetsu, she would end up agreeing anyways.

I just find it really hard to buy into the sacrifices here. I just feel like they never made magic seem evil enough that anybody sane would be willing to die (or worse) just to get rid of magic.

We've had a contest for 1000+ years that is basically unwinnable and people's lives get changed on a whim to suit it. Of course, maybe there could be a way to fix things, and that was never brought into consideration.
On Reddit, I guess the best theory is that magiaconatus was suicidal and just wanted someone to kill it off. Shingetsu would be the only one to just do it.
However, we also know Shingetsu isn't always the best person on these issues as she often just does whatever she thinks is best without caring about what other people truly feels. Actually, she just doesn't understand people at all. This is evident by the fact that her only actual friend ended up trying to kill her, and her other friend is made up. Do we really want her to represent humanity on what to do with this shit?
In the end I would say if you wanted someone to be in charge of the universe, neither Shingetsu or Homura are very good choices, for somewhat different but rather similar reasons.

By the way, nice talking with you again, Archon. It's been awhile.

Hmm, yes. I figured it would be a series like that, for certain reasons. Tthough I got interested by certain art.... Also, same writer of certain popular shows and that Re:zero director. I mean, it really does show. I'm surprised nobody made this joke yet.
