So just in case you were curious: Homura's wish was to meet madoka again and become her protector instead. Doing so, she gained her time magic. Her shield acts like an hourglass and has enough sand for 1 month's worth of time. If she stops time, the hourglass trickles down, but otherwise is at rest. So when Homura goes "oh no!" right before getting hit, she's, quite literally, run out of time.
To stop time, she stops the sand in her sand timer from moving, to turn back time, she can reset the sand timer to turn back time, she also has an unlimited space in her shield. She got a shield because her wish was "i wish...i can redo my meeting Ms.Kaname all over again. But this time, instead of her protecting me, i want to be strong enough to protect her!" The shield came from the I want to protect her part and the time magic is from the i want to redo her meeting with Madoka
@@baikaachyuplays5097 that second caveat is very important. To be strong enough to protect Madoka.
@@willpina.... OH GOD, I JUST REALIZED THE IMPLICATIONS
@@LucasF25Yep... I've been thinking about that second part of the wish lately and how it leads into movie 3
@kokopium8003 you have to be in order to realize Madoka is the peak of fiction
6:15 A fun fact is that when the anime was airing, they delayed episodes 11 and 12 because of a huge earthquake that happened in Japan right around the time this episode, which explained that normal people would see Walpurgisnacht (witch) as a natural disaster, was supposed to air.
Not only that, but, iirc, a significant amount of JSDF materiel went missing.
@@0th_Law holy shit what is this legit
@@alvinsmith3894 It's what I've heard. Could just be a rumor/internet legend.
@@alvinsmith3894 Yes, originally in Japan the episodes 1-10 were airing weekly until March 11, 2011. At 14:46 that day the Tŏhoku earthquake happened. The episodes 11 and 12 - instead of being released the next week (18th, and maybe 25th of March) aired on April 21st - basically a month later.
For the question about why people don't know about Magical girls if Incubators have been following humanity since the beginning, this episode showed Joann of Arc and Cleopatra so it's hinted that every girl known in History could have been a Magical girl: girls accused of witchcraft, priestesses, princesses, famous soldiers etc. Humanity just gave them other names.
There is a spinoff manga about Joan of Arc which is decent. And I know MagiReco just added a bunch of historical characters to their game.
Tart Magica is the title of the Joan of Arc spinoff. I think it's my favorite Madoka spinoff but tonally it's more like Nanoha than Madoka. The horrifying aspects of being a magical girl aren't dwelt on much and the whole manga is pretty much a series of fights between megucas with cool gimmicks. My favorite is Elisa, the princess knight armed with a multibarrel musket with a halberd bayonet. In MagiReco she's voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro in full "ojousama desu wa" mode (MagiReco did an amazing job casting the manga spinoff megucas on the whole)
This was related to my pet theory - it was easier for the Incubators to maintain the masquerade using only girls, because women and their history was and is given less focus. If it were magical boys too, someone would be sure to notice sooner or later...
@@tobymartin2137 : While you might be right in a 'what if' sort of way, Kyubey makes it very clear that teen boys are simply unsuited for the job because they don't have the 'emotional range' of teen girls( and hence you can't get as many 'witches' out of them. It's all about the energy to the K cat.)
Not only that, in Magia Record we are also told that there is a greater force at work influencing this
you're so right about homura showing she's a true magical girl by never giving up on madoka. i love how pmmm recognizes that regardless of how cruel the world is, deep down, magical girls and all of humanity are fueled by hope. homura, sayaka, and kyoko contracted for selfless reasons (they might be selfish as well but they're fundamentally about helping other people), and even though mami wished for herself, she made it her mission to save *as many people as possible* with her powers
That "Witches Be Crazy" mug is positioned just right to show through the middle of the transparent video overlay (as long as the colors don't block it), and it became perfectly noticeable right when Walpurgisnacht showed up on screen. For a brief moment I'd forgotten about the mug, and wondered if that was actually part of the video, or if you'd added an extra bit in editing. Nope, just the background mug. Totally appropriate.
Each girl has her own theme music. Mami's is hopeful and bright, but there is a sense of sadness in it. Sayaka's is solemn and depressing. Kyoko's is very lonely and remorseful. I'll write about Madoka's after next episode. But all 4 of these are written in the traditional 4/4 meter.
Homura's theme is a waltz, written in the 3/4 meter and consists of 3 quater notes repeating themselves. Her theme is literally in a different time and looped.
I know Mama's theme is Creden Justitiam, and Sayaka's is Decretum, but what are the titles of everyone else's songs?
@@lordsylph414Homura’s theme is “Puella in Somnio” (which means, The Girl from a Dream ❤️) Kyoko’s theme is named “Confessio”, and Madoka’s song is named “Sagitta Luminis”
@@henazz2561 💯 correct
I'll add that confessio means "Confession" (pretty obvious) and Sagitta Luminis means "Arrow of Light"
Creden Justitiam means "Believe in Justice"
Decretum is a little more complicated, in Latin it derives from Decre which means to decide, and decretum literally means something decided. I take Decretum to mean Resolve, since it fits with Sayaka.
@@henazz2561 Isn't Anima Mala Kyoko's theme?
Sayaka's theme and Madoka's theme are both in 3/4. Decretum is most definitely also a waltz. In fact, it's poignant that only in the movie do we get a rendition of Sayaka's theme in 4/4 (during "Holy Quintet").
I also don't think anyone knows which theme is really Kyoko's (unless you have an official source, i.e., from Kajiura). Some say Confessio, some say Anima Mala. I'm personally inclined to think it's Venari Strigas, since a) it's closest to what's used for Kyoko during her transformation in the movie (Holy Quintet), and b) it's one of the themes used in Prelude to Act 1. Plus, Confessio is also used when Junko talks with Kazuko, so it's not unique to Kyoko's confession
Also, I'll add to the discussion that "Credens Justitiam" means "believing in justice" since Credens is a present participle. The title describes Mami (and the others), it is not an imperative.
The way you pointed out that Walpurgisnacht is framed as something that could happen irl: This was airing right when the 2011 earthquake/hurricane happened. The show had to be delayed for weeks because the last two episodes could be considered triggering in that sense. I think all anime were delayed for a while, but Madoka in particular stayed longer in hiatus because of that (I think some other shows as well). Right after episode 10 lol.
This scene where Homura hugs Madoka is so emotional, no matter how many times I've watched it, I still shed a tear looking at it again, oh my sweet sweet sad girls
I understand what the show creators were going for in the scene between Madoka and her mom (to have someone acknowledge that Madoka was mature enough to make her own informed decisions, and that her mother trusts her, and it as a nice moment between family) but it's still completely absurd to let your 14 year old daughter walk off into a typhoon 😭
I gotta agree with you. Esp if you don't know what is going on. But ya know... to be honest...if I had a 14 y ear old, they had ALWAYS played it straight with me, they had always been responsible (and shown common sense) and they told me they didn't have time to explain but asked me to trust them , I probably would.
It's about different cultures. This is Japan, where parents usually teach kids responsibility at a much earlier age than their western counterparts and crime really is news rather than a common occurrence like in the US. They even had a reality show where the parent would send a toddler outside on an errand trip with only a cameraman in tow. That kind of thing would be unheard of in the west.
14 year olds in anime are always treated like adults lol
@@kupotenshibecause they are treated as adults in Japan too
4:16 This is actually mentioned in Magia Record, a spin-off of Madoka Magica.
Apparently there's a mysterious force that keep the existence of magical girls a secret.
Yes. They even named it, this tendency. Something like “will of the universe" ?
My biggest thing is that Homura literally asked her to make sure she doesn’t become a magical girl and that probably stuck with her bc that was a moment where they were both about to witch out and Madoka saves her and I think she feels like she can’t stop until she returns the favor
That fart sound when Madoka stood sent me out 💀
"This is like the Dark Souls of being gay." - Meme Homura
@4:15 "How come they've never been exposed as magical girls?"
If PMMM is one big metaphor, and if you squint hard, Kyubey is like Jiminy Cricket: he's a voice sitting on your shoulder. It's just that instead of being the girls' conscience and voice of morality, Kyubey is their own internal voice of logic.
(Notice that he only deceives the girls the way that their own flawed logic or expectations could betray themselves.)
So, the incubators (and by extension, magical girls) could never be exposed, any more than your own thought processes could be "exposed".
I really liked that they added the adults scene too, many anime series would just never have the adults talk about this, so im glad they did it here
I remain endlessly fascinated by how willing viewers are to just take Kyubey at his word. Kyubey implies that Homura is the reason why Madoka has so much potential, but this isn't really any different to when he implied to Kyoko that Sayaka could be saved. While it definitely makes sense from a narrative and thematic perspective, we've seen repeatedly that the makers of the show will happily exploit the audience's knowledge of such things. Ultimately, he doesn't really care one way or the other, and will say whatever it takes to achieve his goal.
As for the question of Homura's selfishness, I think these people are relying on sources outside of the text of the show itself.
QB never lies. He only omits the full truth and picks the right words. It's reasonably plausible to assume you can't turn back from becoming a witch, but there's a possibility that a way he doesn't know about exist, so he emphasizes that part to Kyouko, while blatantly telling Homura "there's no way", to manipulate her to try rescue Sayaka and die. The same is for Madoka. It could be the truth, it could be just a possibility (he does say it's just his speculations), but 1 way or another, it doesn't matter, as long as it works and it did, because it made Homura question herself and gave up hope. And well considering Madoka did just start out as a average, but later when she contracts her power level is off the chart, I think QB is correct about Madoka's power being directly buffed by Homura resetting the timeline around her and making her the center of it.
Definitely have tissues on hand for the last episode, it's one of the episodes of television I've seen where I cry basically nonstop the entire run through.
I can never come down too harsh on Homura for her decisions in the show and if she's being selfish or not. She's a young girl in an absolutely horrible, traumatizing situation grasping at the fading memory of one of the few instances of kindness shown to her in her life. It's so apt that the only thing keeping her from giving into grief entirely is her desperate hope that she can at least save Madoka from this fate, that if she stops moving towards her goal for even a moment she'll shatter. And I do think that her original deep relationship with Madoka after all these time loops is essentially gone, just buried under this mountain of trauma and an deeply idolized view of who Madoka is. If you do ever watch the Rebellion movie, I think how they portray Madoka as a character vs her characterization in the show is HEAVILY influenced by Homura's perception of her (it's also very hard to have discussions about if Homura's decisions are selfish or not because of that movie LOL)
Watching this series back through you has got me thinking.
Homura's speech is much sadder because she wished to be able to protect Madoka, not protect Madoka "successfully". It also seems like a magical girl is destined to exist in every timeline once the wish is made so Madoka's fate was sealed, there truly wasn't anything Homura could've done.
"Let me protect you." doesn't work cause it's just not who Madoka is. You can't just tell someone to sit back while they watch everyone they care about suffer. All it did was ignite Madoka's insecurities further.
I wonder what would've happened if Homura did suceed. Would Madoka made a wish to Kyubey to revive everyone? Though she would not be able to be a witch, would she have fallen into despair? Possibly end her own life because of it?
They are the antithesis of each other. Homura's protectiveness robs Madoka's agency and leaves her a nervous wreck. While Madoka's need to help prevents Homura's wish from ever coming true
What I love about that scene with Madoka and her mom, when she lets her go save Homura, is that one of the first things she asks is if she's sure she isn't being tricked about anyone.
On one hand, it shows the audience that Madoka has a better picture about what being a magical girl is and what Kyuubeys actual goal is. Meaning she'll be very careful about what she wishes for if she decides to make a wish.
On the other hand, it immediately show the difference in maturity between the two and why this whole contract thing would never fly with adults. It took Madoka the whole show to think about something her mother thought of immediately when being presented with not even a vague idea of whats going on (and this isn't a diss at Madoka, just pointing out that at the end of the day she is just a child)
Also side note (and spoilers for Go!Princess! for those who haven't seen it), you mentioned it being a very magical girl anime thing not wanting to see the main character give up hope and give in to despair. Funnily enough, just yesterday I watched the episodes where Haruka does just that. It made me realise how similar the two anime are with both dealing with hope and despair just in a different way.
She will turn all of fate's misfortune to nothing.
She will flood the earth with magic,
and take all of humankind into her play.
A moving stage construction.
If everything is a play, no unhappy things will exist.
It may be a tragedy, but it'll all be part of the script.
The play stops on Walpurgisnacht,
and the earth does not turn even once more.
The story will not change.
Tomorrow, and the day after, is the night of Walpurgis.
that endcard is so bittersweet. we've never seen all five of them alive and together.
this series is truly getting me through the weeks… i dont know what ill do when it ends 😭😭😭
Start another series.
watch Rebellion then wait until next year when the 4th movie releases 🥲
She can also watch the spin off show. Called magia record or something.
@@jiamingli1109 yeah, only season one tho because
The last season was disappointing ngl.
what's sad is that it's confirmed that walpurgis can only beat defeated by magic, meaning the weapons homura used on her were literally never going to work
Were her bombs not magic? I thought she only chose guns because sayaka complained her bombs would get in the way
@@mythanita4292 If I recall correctly she made those all herself, there's a shot in episode 10 (in her first timeloop, right after beating the metal container with a golfclub scene) where she looked up instructions online to make them.
@@RubyDianArts ohh OK thank you. That part always confused me
This has made me realise- if normal people can’t see the witches, do they see all of homuras attacks on it?
@@oddishhime i've thought about that a LOT as well, i mean how do you confuse a hurricane w literal explosions lol. i think maybe a potential explanation is that there's kind of a barrier around her similar to a labyrinth, so when a magical girl enters that labyrinth their attacks also turn invisible to the outside.
I’m regards to what you said around i think 4:20, they expand on that idea of magical girls being public knowledge in a lot of the spin offs . In Tart Magica ( the spin off with Jeanne de arc ) magical girls are pretty publicly as most of the time they’re soldiers fighting for either side. In Magia record, theres a clan outside the main city that sees the incubators as a blessing as well as an opportunity for the town they reside in! Usually it seems that when normal people know about magical girls they tend to want to use them to their benefit , which is pretty fitting for the theme of this series
Episode 12 won’t disappoint. I have a feeling it will help you find closure.
(But then PMMM Rebellion happens and the story progresses in a fantastic way, it’s a must watch after these 12 fantastic episodes, but still.)
I'm sure walpurgisnacht has been explained a million times over to you at this point, but:
Walpurgisnacht (true name unknown) is the stage construction witch, whose existence is not from a single magical girl, but an amalgam of countless witches. Her shadowy familiars are in the shape of fallen magical girls, and in the storyboards and manga, the visages of mami, sayaka, and kyouko appear with her.
The humanoid figure is a doll, and the witch's body is the gears that form its top. She also forms a pair with kriemhild gretchen, madoka's witch, to form an hourglass. Speaking of gretchen, the very top of the witch bears a resemblance to madoka.
Addendum: people always assume that madoka finishes off walpy in the early timelines, but I always assumed she just left
I like your “Witches Be Crazy” coffee mug.
On the subject of karmic destiny, Madoka was absolutely fucked by the very first rewind. We saw it - she died just like a normal magical girl in the first timeline, and in the second her soul gem manifested in reality without a labyrinth, using the clouds to form her body. From the very first rewind her witch was on par with Walpurgisnacht at the very LEAST. We see Homura do it like 4 more times, and according to the authors it happens like 90-something times that we don't see.
The entire universe rewrites itself by roughly a month and a half every time Homura goes back to try again. The very first time Homura reverses time because of Madoka, Madoka becomes the centerpoint around which the entirety of the universe revolves - all of 'karmic destiny' becomes entwined with her, because once upon a time, everything everywhere that happened, DIDN'T, because Homura said 'Madoka died, so I'm going to rewind'.
.
On QB's livestock comparison, I think the explanation of entropy is even more clear when it comes to eating plants. It takes a potato like what, 3-6 months to grow? You eat that potato, you don't have 3-6 months of energy, you're hungry again in a couple hours. If you ate a whole pig, that was raised over like a year, even if it as several hundred pounds, you're not getting a year of meat out of it.
.
Homura's Japanese VA says she cried, when it came to the scene in her spacetime apartment.
.
Episode 11 was scheduled to air during a fucking earthquake/tsunami. They delayed it for like a wholeass fucking month, which meant that the original TV broadcast had to live with the fucking Episode 10 cliffhanger - Ep 11 and 12 got shown back to back. Here's the quote from the Madoka wiki:
>This episode was scheduled to air on 17 March 2011 but has been pulled due to the 2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami. On April 10, 2011 it was announced that Madoka was scheduled to resume its broadcasting on the 21 of April 2011 and it would air the last two episodes back-to-back.
.
You said 'why'd QB say that to Homura' and you see it at the end of the episode. QB drops that bomb on it and she's not going to repeat anymore - now it just needs to convince her to contract.
.
You say that 'not losing hope' is a really magical girl kind of trope, and it definitely is. I think that's what makes this really a 'subversion', in comparison to all the edgy dark magical girl copycats that came after this - a lot of it was just dark for dark's sake, but the framework of the magical girl is still here, even if it's argued against, with stuff like 'the power of friendship should save Sayaka Miki' and the like.
How has the Magical Girl system never been exposed? Well the Incubators would hardly want the chickens to be aware of the foxes now would they?
Honestly I get what Kyubey is saying. It's almost like the magical girls are the ones in the wrong, as by sacrificing some people you can save probably millions of other civilisations. Kyubey learnt from us and how we treat other life as a basis on how to approach humanity, he treats humans with much more respect than we do other living beings.
You know, living in the South of the United States....
I actually could believe that every hurricane season it's actually some witch tearing up the place!! 😂
I am wondering if walpurgisnacht is the witch from cleopatra. Because for such an important person it would make sense to create such a powerful witch and the kyubee history flashback seemed to imply that she was indeed a magical girl
The official profile for Walpurgisnacht written by the creators say that she was born from a single magical girl but fused with other witches over time, which explains her immense power.
Will you also be reacting to the Madoka Magica: Rebellion movie? I apologize if I’m asking a question that’s already been answered or not 😭
The emotions really ramp up in these last few episodes. I wish I could wipe my memory and watch this show again for the first time!
Also I just noticed your "Witches Be Crazy" mug and it's hilarious
La mejor serie que he visto.
Ya quiero ver cómo terminará en 2024. uwu
I'm so excited for the 4th Movie next year! It's been 10 years since the 3rd Movie too. The Madoka Magica 3rd Movie (Rebellion) is basically the sequel to the series btw! Excited about your reaction to that movie too
最終回のリアクションも楽しみにしてます😄
Homura can’t hurt Walpurgisnatch because she only takes damage from Magical Weapons and Homura’s are real life weapons
Omg I didn't know that, that's really interesting
Homura, the only one who fought Wapurgis multiple times, wields a defensive weapon incapable of harm
That's brilliant
I wonder what other magic homura can use cause in the scene with sayaka rejected homuras grief seed homura was gonna kill sayaka with magic I wonder what that was about so does that mean magical girls are able to use other type of magic rather than the one the wish gave them?
Is this canon?
@@SkyBlue-fp2wt I think it's open to imagination. The way I see it, I think all the girls have their main magic based on their wish, but they all have power ups as a magical girl like super jump, super resistance, super strenght, those magical things they couldn't do as a human. All of them probably can shoot magic beams and stuff, but It's a matter of how much magic they can use and how good they are at it.
For example, they can all heal their bodies if the soul gem isn't broken, but Sayaka simply heals faster due to the nature of her wish.
Mami can shapeshift weapons like she did with Sayaka's baseball bat, they can all do it if they try I guess, but Mami does it because she's just good at magic for being a stronger veteran.
@@SkyBlue-fp2wt maybe it was also time magic and she was going to stop her heart or something? idk am rlly trying to figure it out
Nice reaction! This chapter never fails to shed a tear or two! Haha
Will you watch the movie Rebellion after next episode? 👀👀 I hope so, it is so damn good!
This episode never fails to get me 😭 No matter how many times I watch it.
I'm so glad you ended up enjoying this series! It's been wonderful watching your reactions.
Not the mug saying witches be crazy 😂
Amo tus reaccioneees😩💖 Espero que cuando acabes la serie puedas reaccionar a la película✨
the final episode isnt the end. Thte 3rd movie continues it and the 4th movie is coming out next year, after an 11 year wait!
These reactions have been so great, I'm so excited for the finale!
Your reaction videos are so enjoyable, I can't wait to see the next one. Tbh, I came across this anime a very very long time ago and since, it has become one of my favorite series of all time. Even though the series is really good, the movie that follows after is even better and a masterpiece I would say.
Off topic but your earring looks like a grief seed & it keeps throwing me off ^^
It's very neat.
I love your reactions! I hope your channel continues to do well
It is a grief seed, hahah.
It is a grief seed! She announced them in the early videos of the series
I'm not sure if you're releasing these as you watch them, but I'm hoping to catch you before you watch the movie, Rebellion. I want to note that I think you should check out the opening sequence to the two other movies - they're recaps of the series cut down to fit in theatres, so you don't need to watch the whole things. They do add some music unique to the recap movies and new animation and stuff, which you might be interested in, and I consider the intro sequence that movies 1 and 2 share as required viewing. It's pretty neat.
I’m so excited for next episode’s reaction
Me neither I wasn't ready for this end of episode. I wasn't neither prepared for the last episode. If you didn't see the last episode, what whishe do you think Madoka will formulate ?
🤣 the witches be crazy mug. From your coverage I rewatched the series and the movie. I am now excited for the new 4th movie too.
I love your reactions. Seeing h
Homura give up hope again made me cry all over again
Snoop sad. I can't wait for your reaction to ep 12. Hopefully the movie as well. Thanks 😊
ESTABA MUY ANSIOSO AAAAAAA
...Fine, because of you I had to watch magical doremi again
I really can't wait for you to react Rebellion =w=
AAAAA FIRST I LOVE UR MADOKA MAGICA REACTION VIDEOS
RIGTTTTTT
Oh man the final is going to be something, I was as conflicted as you when I watched madoka for the first time 😂
I LOVE your reaction vids to this show, one of the GOATs for sure. Will you be watching the movies btw? I would love to see that!! Either way, thank you for the content!
One episode away from knowing why I am so obsessed with this Anime
As far as wether Homura is selfish or not I have plenty of thoughts for when you finish the movie
“There’s no good ending here” oh god I can’t say SHIT about the rest of the series oh god
nobody is ready for the final episode !
It shouldn't be that you want to see people hold hope despite, it should be that you want people to hold hope because. "Despite" can work, but it probably won't forever, because you've already given in a little with the thesis. While I know "because" was the basis of some magical girl shows at the time this show was made, *very* few of them examined... because what?
The hope Homura has isn't... *really* "hope because," in my opinion. I understand everything she does and why she did it, and I am firmly in the "Homura did nothing wrong" camp, but she committed herself to a cycle, and a cycle is what she got. Another good example is Sailor Moon (the manga, I can't even tell you what is up with the show holy crap), where over time 'hope despite' wears out, and if you want to keep going eventually you need to remember what it was like to hope because.
I always loved this genre, and PMMM helped me understand why.
4:19 Well, they did just show Joan of Arc, who was burned at the stake accused of being a witch...
I need to be next week so bad right now lol
There are some timelines where Homura doesn’t fight Walpurgis, we see an example in Oriko Magica Manga because…
*spoilers*
A Magical girl named Oriko kills Madoka before the Walpurgis event 😢 so Homura resets time without fighting Walpurgis, like she doesnt care for that timeline anymore
U CAN WATCH MADIKA MAGICA MOVIE 3 TOO AND ITS SO TRAMUTIZING BUT IT SO GOOOOOODDDD❤❤❤❤
Not the fart soundddd 😂😂
The end is near 😢
Appreciate how you have no time for Kyubey's dickishness, he's a textbook emotional abuser who justifies himself with abstract concepts that can't possibly fact checked. Maybe he believes he's doing the right thing, but based on how he treats Madoka and Co., why give him the benefit of the doubt?
03:48 you are a vegan as well?! That makes me so happy ^^ I'm vegan too. If I hadn't already subscribed I would subscribe now xD 💚Hope you will react to the movie as well ^^ I waited 10 years for the second one - but it is coming soon. :D loved this reaction to the episode ^^
Girly. After you watch the final episode. YOU FR NEED TO WATCH THE MOVIE AND THEN WATCH THE SIDE STORY LIKE GIRL YOU NEED TO.
4:16 Why weren't they exposed? Because people believed in magic back then. They may have been exposed, and that wouldn't change much. Simple as that.
👀
Ur reaction about Mado☆Magi, perceive is really fair, also representation suitable, as a viewer. ❤
I remember watching this with my elementary school daughter. Surely, she hated me after epi3, even though I thought it as kind of prettycure, cr○azy my‐melody anime, CC‐Sakura, etc.
Around this time, the great‐east JPN earthqwake&over100 feets tsunami and more happened.
As reunion on‐air for 3.11, she wanted to watch after all, so I was scolded needlessly, maybe.
Well…, this work has been impressed deeply on us japanese, I think.
So, I like ur honest react‐style. (≧∇≦)b
sry, for my poor ENG. ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
This is where the show gets a _little_ wonky and it's unclear how much is Urobuchi's bias and how much is meant to be Kyubey being a little bastard. Imho it doesn't do enough to refute his claims and given the Butcher has a pattern...
First of all, Kyubey implies that every important woman in history was only important because she had magic. There are no magical boys in this universe. But then he says that without the Incubators, humans would still be living in caves, which implies that without these women human history would never have progressed. So it's both 'women can't do anything without us' _and_ 'men are entirely useless' so I think the implication was meant to be that all of humanities achievements link back to the Incubators which is just... a ludicrous claim and I think we can discount it.
Then there's the comparison to cattle which, even if you're vegan, I think you can see how there's no comparison at all. For all the meat industries cruelties, animals _are_ given something of a sheltered life with free roaming (provided it's free range) and medicine, safe from predators, exploring the outdoors ect. Whereas magical girls are forced to fight and given a short, brutal life in the hope of a wish that will never be granted, then an even more brutal death. It's more like if all meat raised chickens were also cock fighters.
Finally there's this idea that the wishes themselves are the problem, which people take to be the main thesis of the show and Urobuchi punishing girls for having wishes and dreams. I honestly don't know enough about the man to think that's his message, but then I look at Fate/Zero and wonder. (Don't eat me Fate fans.)
First ?
