They all look so ugly.

HOMURA DID NOTHING WRONG

it's alright, way overrated though

Best girl, no doubt.

how do their brains fit in their heads with such big eyes?
except for their hair, they arr rook same.

Kinographical my friend

...

>him

A bit overrated by now. They didn't need movies and a dozen of spin-offs, TV was self-contained. And this motherfucker is a great writer, love him.

Absolute dogshit. I rue the day Sup Forums memed me in to watching it

DRIVEBY MEMES, A DECONSTRUCTION OF Sup Forums

THEY HAVE TO GO WIDER

HOMO IS EVERYTHING WRONG

THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS YOU LITTLE SHIT

REMEMBER NO HAPPY ENDING

What board do you hail from?

Boring and exploitative.

the anime that saved anime

As overhyped as morning rescue

Good. Reaching across infiinite time lines and becoming a being that exists throughout all of the world but basically wiped from it was alittle hard to deal with as an ending.....it's like homura struggled countless times and she's still robbed of her happy ending.

salvia officinalis

Sup Forums.

Rebellion was a mistake.

Not much value to it if you are aware it's dark before you watch it, outside of the twist its not very engaging.

Needs a second season already.

Hell, even a magireco adaption would be nice.

Unironically AOTD.

It's good but you can't discuss it anywhere because the fanbase is retarded.

needs more edge

Pretty good.

watched the first episode, I can't believe this shit is that popular among you autists
>muh 9 year old girls with superpowers spouting chu2-tier dialogue
it's the anime equivalent to my little pony

Give it two more.

Homura can't into basic tactics and strategy.

It's tumblr's favourite for a reason.

Really liked it at first
There has been a thread on Sup Forums about it ever since it came out though...

Nice quads, but make it to the end of ep 3 before you judge

>Puella Magi

>knowing tumblr that much

Have there been any official non april fools announcements of a 4th movie/second season?

>watch the show a few years ago and love it
>feel the need to actively avoid discussions of it because of how awful the fanbase is

>muh shock value

Only the concept trailer

Terrible and the only redeeming quality was the ending theme

"Presently, the concept movie remains legally unavailable to the public outside of the screening at Madogatari, and no announcement has been made of a streaming/home video release."
Is this still the case?

It's alright.
It's shaft so the animation style isn't going to be for everyone.
Personally I really like the animation style.

Technically yes but it's online somewhere, if you can't find I can put it on mega or something if you want.

That'd be greatly appreciated

Good series.

Still annoyed that Rebellion ended on a cliffhanger without an immediately planned follow-up though.

>muh that's where the actual plot starts you fucking faggot

>knowing tumblr that much
I browse /u/, so gaining knowledge of tumblr was inevitable

Hmm, interesting
Thanks for that

Rebellion was a mistake. Butcher wanted to end the series with ep. 12 but Aniplex and Shinbo wanted sequels. Now by some accounts he's not interesting in resuming it and the series is all but dead. Madoka got Haruhi'd.

imo rebellion was pretty good, and answered some things wich the main 12 episodes didnt. Cant see why people would have anything against it.

Half the movie was fluff and the ending wasn't as good as the original one.

>if it isn't directly pertinent to the basic story it's bad
brainlet leave, the beginning of the movie is fantastic

The ending was a cruel cliffhanger. It's a crime not to finish the series.

Excellent but overrated AF.

Also the "lesbian" love in this saga, based on the Rebellion movie, is not pure in any form

I find it funny that the token gay is crazy

keki

I was looking at Rebellion's production notes and thought the difference between Homura's references before and after the climax were neat so I'm going to post them

...

...

...

So are those the faces she makes after the climax?

Those are the faces she makes when she loses her mind

That's the stuff.

Damnedest usurper!

YOUR GODDESS IS FALSE, PRAISE HOMUCIFER

Death first!

Good. Nothing great.

How did they make her so sexy?

It wasn't particularly terrible and in fairness was even good for what it was, but at the same time it was unnecessary to the story and was kind of a blatant "This is popular so we'll make more of it." cash grab.
One of the nice things about Meguca was the fact it was a tight, well thought out 12 episodes of OC (in a very specific way as the story is pretty derivative, just in the sense that it wasn't a LN or manga adaptation that served only to increase sales of the source material) and the movie just kind of goes and shits on that just to print more dollahs.
I can't blame them for good business decisions, it's just disappointing.

mami best girl

Not that F/SN and Tsukihime were masterpieces but would you disagree that Fate/GO or whatever other trash diminish the original story by simply existing?
Though Rebellion was no where near as bad as current Type Moon.

It's my favorite

this need s2 already, holy cow

Homura is the best, Kyoko is close second.

How would they continue on a season 2 without sacrificing quality though?
this desu

Oppai piggu go homu

>supporting the pretender
You make me sad.

Great but SHAFT needs to drop it and work on something new.

They can drop it after they finish it.

Just one more movie cant hurt though, right?

They all need Boyfriends.

I volunteer.

Unique story
Amazing music
Interesting characters
No fan service
Re-watch value

All time favorite anime

You could call the movie its second season, I loved the anime but I can't think of anything that would be worth adding that could make a quality anime. It had a full resolution to the plot despite it only being 12 episodes, most anime can't say the same.

>rebellion apologists STILL exist

Grim dark magical girls was done way before Madoka.
I agree the music is amazing.
Some of the characters are great, others are really flat.
There is a fair bit of fan service in the transformation scenes.
It really only has rewatch value if you're too stupid to get it the first time.

>Grim dark magical girls was done way before Madoka.
Grimdark is a dime a dozen but proper deconstruction is very hard to come by.

>proper deconstruction
Magical girls turning into the monsters they're supposed to fight isn't deconstruction. Magical girls being used as power plants for extraterrestrials isn't deconstruction.

It doesn't matter if there are other dark magical girls stories. It doesn't detract from the show's quality.
I think Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura are very well developed. Kyouko is alright, but Mami was unfortunate enough to die before her character was fully fleshed out.
I think the show has a lot of rewatch value, actually. There's a shit ton of foreshadowing that goes over your head. Knowing very well what actually happens lets you focus on the details, and there's a lot of them.
>madoka
>deconstruction
>listening to tvtropes
this meme needs to die
subversion is not the same thing as deconstruction

>subversion is not the same thing as deconstruction
True.
Deconstruction requires to not only contradict, but to rebuild the concept, which is what Madoka does by slowly describing how the characters are pretty much straight litches.

Contrast that to something like ikusei keikaku, which is a shallow grimdark trash subversion without substance.

It was a good deconstruction of the mahou shoujo genre. I liked it.

The show's quality is not what was in question. In this post it talks about being unique.

Madoka does almost nothing the whole series, she's really not fleshed out that well.

Foreshadowing can be realized in hindsight. You don't need to rewatch it.

>Foreshadowing can be realized in hindsight. You don't need to rewatch it.
All right there, Rain man, not all of us can remember every detail of a 12 episode series after watching it once.

Which series has a very similar story then?

Being passive is not the same as being underdeveloped. Madoka is characterized well, beyond being a perspective character, and represents one of the major thematic perspectives as contrasted by Rebellion.

And you very easily gloss over details that add to characterization and narrative significance on a first viewing. You don't recall minutiae unless you rewatch and recognize their significance.

Sayaka was the only character I really liked. Kyouko was alright too. Rest were shit.

Why are you guys still on Madoka threads? Madoka is over except for a shitty smartphone game.

I still believe.

Tricked into watching this mediocre trash. Never watched the movie.

The threads either have reasonably decent enough discussions or turboautists to laugh at, and sometimes I see interesting things like those production notes.

The Godzilla is a trilogy. He completely abandoned Madoka.
