and she's only 14-15 years old .. I've know a lot of 20-30 years old adults going all crazy because of a mere internet drama. So I think broken hearted, becoming a zombie because of her loved one, have to spend the rest of her life fighting witches, are probably enough to drive a 14-15 years old girl mad |

However, that doesn't mean guys can't be emotional. I think it's just because this is a mahou shoujo series, so a guy taking a spotlight would be unacceptable. |

I disagree. it's not about guys stealing the spotlight, but as an incubator, QB has an energy quota to fill every month or he'll lose his job (QB might has wife and kids at home, who knows .. but if you look at how persistent he is in making Madoka & co into mahou shojo, QB might indeed has a family to feed). So it's only natural if he choose lolis since they provide more energy and at a faster rate compared to less emotional boy/guy Last edited by sweet_kungfuman; 2011-03-14 at 09:24. |

Kyubey's decision to focus on a handful of rather independent teenage girls makes sense to me. I'm actually somewhat alarmed that not a single one of these girls has even considered going to adults about the full scope of the problem.

When Kyoko's father found out, and he branded his daughter as the witch and heretic instead. When Homura tried telling others about turning into Witches, none of them believed it either until they witnessed Sayaka become one in front of their eyes. Unless any person can see a Witch in her Labyrinth, I think the girls would just be viewed as crazy. |

Madoka and Homura are different though. Madoka has a great mom, so I don't see how it can hurt to try to get her help. Ask Homura to put on a magical display to Madoka's mom to help prove her point. Homura knows that real world weaponry works on witches. I like what Blog Suki had to say about this. Homura should try to get her hands on a tactical nuke, and drop it on Walpurgis Night. Edit: These are just minor nitpicks though. And they're not quite even that really. I think that Kyubey carefully contracted with girls with very "self-sufficient" personalities who don't like relying on others at all.

Also, even if there were adults who believed them, they would be powerless against Witches. While conventional modern weapons can damage Witches, the only reason Homura can get away with it is because her ability allows to accurately place every shot. Normal adults won't get that luxury. I also don't think the notion of sending middle school children off to fight much like sending a soldier off to war would sound very ethical to them. Then you would have adults who would get involved more than necessary and become a burden on the battlefield. If it's a personal or psychological problem like Sayaka's love troubles, then Witches do not need to be mentioned, and they could ask for help the same way Madoka asked her mother. While it would be nice to ask for an adult's help, I don't think an adult can help with magic at all. Last edited by Shadow5YA; 2011-03-14 at 12:09. |

I think it depends on the situation. Some adults might help, others might not. Once again, I think you have to take the situation at face value-- applying too many real world constraints and questions will just put more holes in the swiss cheese . |

Sins? Apart from being stubborn and biased and lashing out on her friend once, I have trouble remembering any.
I was really miffed at her death, but magical girls have all possible chances for untimely death... And a least it seems Puella Magi Sayaka lived longer this time, leading the life of a heroine she had wanted to be, side by side with her friends. |
