I said prior in speculation that this is key in Faust gaining his salvation, and to this I feel is key to Madoka's salvation. It's really crushing for an idealist that wants to make the world a better place see their plan causing unimaginable pain, like what Goethe saw during Napoleonic wars and what Faust saw near the end of Faust part II.

What I need to see though is whether or not Kyubey will walk and act as Madoka's foil. Mephistopheles also learned that at times, he is no devil...

@zato_1one: I like the direction greatly as well.

An interesting thing to notice is that this character direction is very similar to a character from another piece of Urobuchi's work that is getting animated this year.

(Then again, that's something that can't be considering the character designs, sadly)

Seriously? When I contemplate what a little devil he might be, I find him absolutely terrifying. Wherever there is a person in a desperate situation, some expressionless stuffed animal is there, watching over them, plotting. Sends shivers down my spine.
