Again though, to me this movie is no more than a professionally produced fanfic. And a disgustingly bad one at that. Madokami saving every Magical Girl in history and writing the witches out of existence is still how the story ended as I'm concerned. Keep your Happy Ending Override Shinbo and Urobuchi, I'm keeping my wonderful stand-alone 12-episode TV-series about hope ultimately triumphing over despair.

Give PMMM to another writer now, and it's highly likely they'll miss that point and go dark for darkness sake, because they think that's what the series is supposed to be about. |

I will do like Urobuchi and say that the story of Homura and Madoka ends here. In my opinion Urobuchi's always been the actual author, so whatever other writers do with these characters (if someone ever do a continuation) is irrelevant to me.

I don't think you'd ever get a conventional magical girl story out of Gen because of his tendency towards "dark". SHAFT might get it out of a different writer. Quote:
Tell me, why do you think these two scenes are in the movie? Quote:
Also, I'm certainly glad the comic book fandom never took this attitude to Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, Bob Kane, Stan Lee, and Jack Kirby's creations...

Every Urobuchi work is just average or even below average far behind Madoka in Japan. The smallest thing in Madoka's success is Urobuchi. (And the whole Madoka Magica idea belongs to Shinbo) It was obvious if Aniplex(or Shaft) wants more money, he would be forced to rewrite scenario to make more profit.

If it's really good I might watch it. I'm not that stubborn. lol I don't care about reviews though. I prefer reading spoilers and drawing my own conclusions.

Now, I'm confused. So, did Gen like or not like the ending? Are they even reading from the same interview?
Still need to watch the movie and see how things turn out. I'd say that execution is the most important. Even if the plot is good but without a good execution then it will still be bad or just mediocre, IMO.

Sayaka's characterization is shaped just as much by Eri Kitamura's seiyu performance, and by how Shinbo framed Sayaka's rise and fall, as it is by what Gen wrote on paper. Maybe Chiwa Saito will nail Homura's descent into megalomania/madness just as well as Eri Kitamura nailed Sayaka's descent into darkness and despair in the original TV series.

Out of Homura's motivations I see resentment as one. She loves Madoka, yet she hates the fact that even after she goes so far to try and save her multiple times Madoka still ends up dying. (Well she ascended to a higher plane of existence in the snow's finale) In Homura's mind she could view that as Marina leaving her behind, or abandoning her. She hates that Madoka left her behind to watch over the world. So now she creates her "perfect" world for Madoka. To ensure that she'll never leave her again.

Well, I just hope that you'll at least watch the movie to get a more complete take on it. I could understand being peeved to the point of not bothering seeing it in theaters, but once it's available on Blu-Ray/DVD (and/or internet download), I hope you'll check it out.

I'm curious how Madoka Magica Rebellion's opening weekend compares to the opening weekend for the first two Madoka Magica movies. Does anybody have any numbers for that?

Numbers for the first two Madoka films:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...ce-october-6-7 http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...-october-13-14 Numbers for Eva 3.0: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...office-of-2012 The first two Madoka movies were conservative showings which initially opened on only 43 theatres. Combined with being recaps, Rebellion's numbers show an (expected) marked improvement but can't really be compared directly. Rebellion's opening puts it somewhere in between the openings for Evangelion 1.0 and Evangelion 2.0, but also as expected Evangelion is obviously stronger as a franchise. |
