I like speculating while the series is running. But after the ending, everything that is central in the story has to be clear. For instance, I'll never forgive Gen for not properly explaining why Walpurgis was so strong. Considering that the existence of Walpurgis is what make the climax possible, it should have been explained properly. The ending is cheapened a lot because of this. Although I know most people don't care because "god" Madoka was so super duper awesome that they just forgot about everything else. It's kinda sad, as it shows that even though the writing isn't half bad, the popularity of the show is primarily due to its shock value.

well, it seems we're in the same boat. homu-chan is my one true love and i originally wanted to vote for her - alone. but mado is a significant part of homu i love so, it's almost too cruel to separate the two. homu doesn't deserve to be 'alone' forever even in polls like this. homu won't be unhappy if i add another vote for her best friend.
there's nothing wrong with speculating. it's something i will never take away from a fellow fan/viewer. just like i said before, the puella magi franchise is still running. who knows how many drama cds will be released in the future? and maybe another surprise would be that junko-san was actually pressing cigarette burns onto madoka's forehead too? or mado was orphaned and tomo-san and junko-san were actually her foster parents? and with that, i might seriously reconsider everything what i posted before. |

It depends. There are things that are needed to be clear for the narrative to work. Everything else can be left to the fans to speculate. That's ok. The problem is when the writer doesn't explain things that should be explained. I can see this sort of issues in Madoka.

I personally think it was the better choice ( for now ) to not explain WN fully, as from a marketing point of view, it makes the fans speculate, and this constantly keeps PMMM in their mind. Occasionally endings that have certain loose-ends are better, occasionally, but not always.

Kyouko's popularity seems to be rising. Probably not enough to catch up with Homura, but that's okay.
And even Kyubey is more popular than Sayaka? That's quite surprising. I'm not a fan of Sayaka, but even I wouldn't rate her that low.

If I'm allowed to use myself as an example; iirc I rated Sayaka as the worst Meguca after the final. But she (together with Kyouko) is the one who stuck in my mind and got better and better in my perception with each day. But since this is a vote time poll I can't change my vote. Maybe there are more people who feel the same. Hence, if there is a new poll with the same questions it could look a little bit different.

My favourite ones... Hm, Kyoko has to be first. I just love her character. Homura is quite my favourite too, but she's just too popular. :'D (No offense to anyone.) I really like every character (...mh, despite Hitomi) I like Sayaka too, her story was tragic and I felt really bad for her because she dies in every timeline, no matter what. But I have to anserw that Kyoko is my favourite number one. ♥
