Really? Never wonder, for instance, why Madoka always wanted to help people so badly??
The reason Homura wanted to save Madoka is properly developed in episode 10, but Madoka's reason for wanting to help people is just glossed over and never developed. And she's the freaking main character, so her motivations should be extremely clear so we can relate to her properly. As it is, it seems Madoka's strong desire to help others is just a trait given to her by default to make the story work, and while that's pretty common in other shows of the genre, I feel Madoka should have been above such plot conveniences.
