There's even a better anime movie than the 3 Madoka ones?

Most people will tell you yes. It's my personal favourite though.

All of them?

I like Rebellion the best of the 3, but they're all really good.

Rebellion is masterpiece of cinematography.

No, Puella Magi Madoka Magica will always be the Ultimate Kino anime movie. Don't let candyasses fool you.

That's right.

canon

Yes.

>The film has surpassed the box office earnings of Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie Part 3: Rebellion

>caring about how much japs spend at movie theaters
>caring about sales
>caring about ratings
>caring about anything except the anime itself

Fuck off.

Did it get dubbed in other languages like the Madoka's movie?

>Mami-san's sawed off double barrels
Damn. Coobie would gladly get shot from it.

Can Mami even conjure a different weapon besides her musket?

Yes as we could see large guns reaching to a German styled railway gun in Rebellion. She even conjured a magic pistol in hanokage spin off IIRC.

Oh, yes. I'd forgotten her "tiro finale". I still don't understand why conjure mostly muskets, tho.

>acting like madokafags weren't talking mad shit when Rebellion was breaking records

But as soon as rebellion gets usurped, "sales don't matter guys!"

i wish i hadn't seen it

>there will never be another anime as epic as Madoka

PSP game reasoning: her power is his ribbons. One day she was unable to save a boy from being eaten by a witch because she didn't have any long range weapons. After that day she trained to create a long range weapon using her ribbons. She ended up choosing to create muskets because repeating fire arms were too complex for her to put together using ribbons and magic.

>inb4 some faggot says non-canon

The PSP game explanation can be assumed canon because it doesn't at all conflict with the story and Urobuchi supervised and worked on the writing staff for the project.

*her power is her ribbons

End of Evangelion?

To be fair, Rebellion was usurped by idolshit and CGDGT in tanks. It's not like it was usurped by something equal or greater than in actual quality.

Why?

End of Evangelion, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Princess Mononoke.

Also why the fuck are you counting the first two movies when they're literally just recaps of the anime?

Yes. Her inherent power is creating ribbons.

Guns are something she taught herself to create by studying their schematics, not something that she has the ability to summon naturally.

Rebellion was a mistake. A gorgeous eye-candy mistake, but a mistake nonetheless.

Hell yes Homura did wrong.

They have rifled barrels so they technically aren't muskets.

I think it's a bit early to judge Rebellion on it's end with the second half still being worked on.
but the Colorful montage makes it all worth it anyways

How is giving everyone a happy ending wrong?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifled_musket

Psycho-Pass movie was better in terms of story and philosophy, and no flashy visuals will change that.

There will be a fourth movie, hang in there.

With Mami as the main character.

Mami is a fucking slut. She doesn't deserves the spotlight

She isn't the hero we deserve, but the one we need. Homura is the villain. Literally "Or you die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain".

>Homura
>villain

Do you seriously believe this bullshit? And Mami isn't a hero, she literally wanted to kill all of her friends, she is a nasty girl.

I don't think Homura did anything wrong because she suceeded in securing the existence of the girls and a good future for them.

It wasn't part of her original plan, but she did destroy the law of the cycles. None of the magical girls will survive in this new world that Homura made. Who is going to stop the witches from coming? Homura needs to die.

Madoka is good and all, but rebellion took something that wasn't broken and tried to fix it, thus ruining it.
Disappearance is best anime movie.

>she literally wanted to kill all of her friends
it was definitely the right move, though
maybe she lost her head a bit but she was going down the right path

The law exists still, she just took Madoka out of it.
Did you even watch the movie?

>None of the magical girls will survive in this new world that Homura made.
How so?
>Who is going to stop the witches from coming?
There are no witches 'cept for Homura.

You madman. It wasn't though, why end it there?

First reply to

>It wasn't though
Mami exists to fight witches
magical girls inevitably become witches
since witches exist and aren't totally wiped out by the existence of magical girls, we can only assume witches are powerful enough that girls don't have that great of a success rate
therefore killing a magical girl before the cheese goes and slides of their cracker is of equal use to eradicating witches as destroying a single witch

>Did you even watch the movie?
I have the movie opening here. Where does it say without Madoka, the law of the cycle will keep going?

*Opened here

I still listen to the madoka OST's almost everyday. It's so good.

she's more of an anti-hero than a villain since her intentions aren't necessarily evil. just a classic case of the road to hell being paved with good intention.

You eradicate witches to reduce entropy.
Is that still accomplished by killing magical girls?
Kyuubei made it sound as though witches had much greater entropy reducing potential when he gave that huge exposition to Homura

When Sayaka is flipping her shit about Homura ending the law of the cycle.
Homura responded to the effect of "Relax, I only took a piece of it."

Mami didn't know any of the entropy stuff in any timeline.
even if she did, none of them seem to care about the entropy stuff much, given that they are dedicated to eradicating witches and all

And? Madoka was an integral part of it. Who's going to absorb the mahou shoujo's despair now?

Homura didn't seem to think so, since she assured Sayaka everything would be fine.

this is actually wrong. assuming your 3rd point is correct, the mathematically perfect solution would be to cull weaker magical girls that cannot kill a certain amount of witches until you develop an equilibrium between the spawn rate of witches and the birth of decently strong magical girls. you won't want to kill all magical girls because you won't have any way to deal with leftover witches and you don't want to kill too many weaker magical girls because we know that stronger magical girls turn into stronger witches, so it would only make sense to have a constant supply of decently strong witches to purify the stronger magical girls' soulgems.

Seeing as how Homura rewrote the universe it doesn't seem too far fetched to make Madoka's wish a law of the universe without sacrificing Madoka for it.

Isn't QB doing it now?

Let's just think about this rationally for a second:
Mami panicked after learning magical girls became witches. She didn't want her friends to turn into despair pumping machines.
It was a spur of the moment decision she thought would be best for her and her friends and the world in the long run.

no, they don't know how the fuck it works
hence why they had Homura pickled and under observation

Oriko OVA when?

From the looks of it, QB is absorbing the despair now.

Then Homura rewrote the laws of the universe.
QB is doing whatever Homura assigned him to.

Homura controls it with the part of the LoC in her earring. Thought it was pretty obvious that's what the gem was considering she stated she pulled a fragment of the LoC out.

Concept movie makes it even more clear.

>concept movie
did they ever release it?

I think the best solution here would be to put each girl on a points system
Keep a corps of aces around, farming out the weaker ones as easily killed witches for their gems. This keeps the pros alive.
Once witches start dwindling, put the pros on a points system, killing them without letting them turn. Once it's down to one girl, suicide.
Even if there's a witch or two left it's better than status quo

There's two versions of concept movies out so far. One of them has a shitty camrip on youtube, but none of them have been shown outside of screenings. Both versions of the concept movie will be released on BD in October. Hopefully we'll get some more information on the project then too.

>two version
Please elaborate

There's this one: youtube.com/watch?v=chC7EkI_tzg
Then there's another concept movie that got screened at Madogatari. Here is a thread with some pictures: walpurgischan.net/meduka/res/10814.html

>There are people who actually believe this.
>Demon is literally a self-imposed title
>Gives everyone a pefect life
>Takes on burden of god
>Literally 0 chance doubt Madoka won't forgive her
>Theme of next movie is Swan Lake

I'm doubting Homura even does anything beyond kicking Sayaka and Mami (not that anyone will care) around a bit before a plot device allows Madoka to get through to her..

>>Gives everyone a pefect life
>Sayaka isn't with kyousuke

I stopped reading right there. Homuralogists are delusional.

You do realize that Madoka was detached from the Law of Cycles throughout the entirety of Rebellion by going into Homura's barrier, right? If the Law of Cycles functioned during that month or so period, there's no reason to believe it doesn't function now.

We could argue that time pass differently inside Homura's maze.

If you don't understand such a simple implication from this scene, there's probably no point in trying to convince you.

>reaching this hard
just give up user

Two masterpieces in one. Praise based Butcher.

>non slutty outfit for Homu
what is this monstrosity

Mami a best. She deserves a happy ending.

I guess there is given that Rebellion sucks.

I'm sorry you didn't understand it.

How can other girls even compete?

Kyousuke x Violin is canon OTP, faggo

They all do. I don't expect or really want some sugar sweet happy ending, but I hope Butcher will give them an ending that they will be happy with.

No, the largest release of energy comes in the moment a magical girl transforms into a witch. What happens to the witch after that is largely irrelevant.

This.

>>Gives everyone a pefect life
She gives a life that she wants to

Butcher is done with Rebellion. Your unconfirmed sequel is a delusion.

>unconfirmed sequel
This fucking guy

A life she knows everyone is happier with.

Pay attention to Mami's words saying that she's happier than she could have ever imagined. How Kyouko wishes for a happy dream and that is exactly what she gets. How Urobuchi confirms that Sayaka will never be happy as long as Kyousuke is in the picture. How Madoka has her own character song where she sings about how lonely she is as a goddess and in this new world she is together with her family and friends.

The only unhappy person is arguably Homura, however, even Homura got her wish granted of having the capacity of being strong enough to protect Madoka's happiness.

>bluray of concept movie is released in October
Oh sorry, that's your sequel.

You can't be serious

if i recall correctly it's also the explanation in the different story

The TV episode format is superior to the recap movies.

>ep1 cute ED or end card
>ep2 cute ED or end card

>ep3
>madoka cries
>CUT TO MAGIA

>ep3
>mami dies a painful death, alone

still sad about it

>alone
madoka and sayaka were there to watch.

>removing the red from red-blue dynamics
that's stupid, desu

Maybe the fourth movie.

The movies also skip over a few good scenes. That one in episode 8 between Homu and Sayaka especially.

yeah that makes it better

This series did transitions to ED pretty great.
>BD episode 9
>And I'm Home ED

These are probably what I miss the most when rewatching the movies instead of the series.

The utena spiral too.

In general the TV version is just superior, even if the visual quality is lower at times.

I guess I should give the fancut a try.

I hope you haven't been rewatching the broadcast version. The BDs are improved all around.

The fancuts are fairly good if you can get by the somewhat jarring transitions to the scenes that aren't in the movies.

I think I like the OST better in the movies too. The TV series were great too, but I like how they're going with pretty much only one scene per track, and how every major witch gets her own theme song.
