Spoiler for On Sayaka:

I strongly feel that how Sayaka meets her demise is just trifles. What will matter more is the grim realization of Sayaka's temptation to do good would so spectacularly usher disaster for whom she cares about.

@Mentar:

Spoiler for On Madoka:

I get the feeling that Madoka will find that even with that realization of wanting to save people and perform true miracles, she will indirectly lead to bloodshed and exact heavy price for what she wish to accomplish. If this show is to follow Faust, then ultimately Madoka has to accept that she too is mortal and that she cannot realistically save everyone... even at times, anyone, yet she must remain idealistic about the prospect of a better future. 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.
