@whitelichmage7004 ??? literally the whole point of madoka's character is that she's a normal kid with a loving family living a completely normal and happy life, what do you mean by "the most childhood trauma"?? and even then, the way she reacts to the losses in her life in the anime's timeline is completely realistic? they actually do a great depiction of how trauma works on different people? i think you just didn't understand madoka's character. at all.
In fact, Nagisa's wish for a cheesecake was made so that she could eat the cheesecake her mother loved so much in front of her as she died, as she was a schizophrenic abuser who had a horrible relationship with her in her last moments. It's a story only available in the Nagisa's Wish event of the Magia Record game, so not many people know about it.
Before the sickness, it seems the relationship was actually good. But when she got sick, the father left, no one came to visit her, and the only person that was left was the reminder of what she probably gave up in the name of that relationship. I'm not trying to justify what the woman did, because personally, I think Nagisa should have abandoned her. I'm simply trying not to look at this from a vengeful perspective.
by the way she immediately witched out after she realized she could've saved her mom. so she became a magical girl, and then did nothing, she just turned into a witch
@@sera_venus that was the most accepted theory before the event, give it a watch on youtube to see that actually she became a magical girl for a stupid reason on purpose, that way her mother would have died only because she didn't wish for it, because she didn't love her, according her own words. But she kinda of insta regreted it since she coudn't even protect her mother from a witch (she wanted her to die because she didnt wish for it, not to a witch), so she immediately turned to a witch, soon after her first witch battle.
To be fair Nagisa wished for a cheese cake as a massive fuck you to her mom. Her mom despised her and blamed her for all her problems she pondered using the wish to save her from her illness but decided against it since she hated her
@@reflectingPastChoicesIf you want to give Nagisa 'the world's best cheesecake', then add a butt load of Sugar! Salt! Fat! That's what her guardian did; created a new lethal gift.
Honestly, I'm just waiting for this channel to explode. The comedy, the editing, the overall theme of this channel, this guy just delivers. It's just a matter of time until some major streamer finds this gem. Keep up the great work Lunar!
Thankfully I discovered this channel because Lunar decided to cover Fate, it's one of the three anime related channels I watch on yt. ANd yeah still waiting for him to blow up
Why wouldn't it be, when it's Yuki Kajiura working on it xD In all seriousness though, more often than not, when you have Yuki Kajiura on the team, you know that atleast the music's gonna be good. I've so far only tried a few of the anime she's worked on (including Madoka, Vanitas, and a few others, planning on watching Erased and Princess Principal next), but that's been consistent so far. (If you're interested, I highly recommend Anime Music Podcast's video on episode 3 of Madoka, they go deep into the technicalities of sound design and all, it's a really good watch, albeit long)
The girl who want a cheesecake actually is only 10 or 12 years old if im not wrong. you could see she looks younger than others. she had a sad backstory in the game, always abused by her mom, never ate something good. it makes sense that she just want to have a cheesecake once. but i agree it is still a idiot wish LOL

she wished for a cheesecake out of spite because her mother was dying she was gonna wish for her mother to be in debt to her but she didn’t because she wanted to do it herself
This is what reliving the same month to prevent your girlfriend from making a contract to be a precure character countless times does to a mf. Man just slipped a Kuroe in there. I do hope we're getting a Magia Record review next.
The girl who wishes for the cheese cake is actually quite a back ground Her name Nagisa. There's two version of her Wish. One is Dark and one is super depressing and dark. 1. is her wish is to have a cake with her mother. BUT After learning that HER WISH CAN literally be ANYTHING. She could just wish for her mother's sickness to be cure 2nd version is where, after she got disowned by her mother, and kyubey was there. Instead of Curing her Mother, She instead Wishes for a cake. While watching her mother pass away I forgot to add the sources 1st source is from the Official art book of Madoka magica Movie? If I remember 2nd source is from. Magia Record. Side story, Nagisa momoe
Finally someone who has a brain, yeah, you're right, mainline canon madoka magica nagisa and magia record nagisa are both completely different with same wishes, but, different motives and ideologies behind. Majority of people always merge and combine main madoka magica and magia record together and always act like main pmmm nagisa and magireco nagisa are the exact same and 1:1, people are so braindead, it's so irritating. Magia record is also garbage. Nagisa was also 9-12 so..
I will forever be grateful I watched Madoka while it was in transmition. I never got spoiled and got to experience the suffering and everything real time. Now there's no way on Earth anyone can watch the anime without having at least a vague idea of what will happen or knowing that there's a catch, when I watched it I was positive I was getting into a sailor moon type of anime 😭
This anime is an excellent example of the phrase: " don't judge a book by its cover " This anime, if you read its name or see its cover, you might think that it is a cute girls anime for children, but when you watch the anime itself, you will find that it is the exact opposite of this. And for me, it is definitely one of my top 20 anime of all time.
Made in Abyss is another one, haven’t watched the second season yet but still a wonderful example. Edit: Ranking of Kings as well, highly recommended to me but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Since every magical girl eats and drinks sugar and alcohol is just another form of sugar, the real magical girl was Madokas Mom all along. Also why is my daughter suddenly puking guns? Surely it hasn't to do with the strange stray cat we found earlier this week
Madoka Magica DOES have a pre-existing fanbase that still exist to this day, and quite a few Madoka fans were still part of that fanbase, and that is the Hidamari Sketch fans. Hidamari Sketch is the anime that introduced me to Madoka Magica, not Sailor Moon(I don't even watch Sailor Moon to begin with).
6:32 Yeah no. This is probably one of deepest side stories in the game. This case is clearly argument for Kuybei being evil, the deal was rigged from the start. Her side story is prolly one of must read from Magia Record. UA-cam has this recorded look up for - Magia Record: Nagisa's Wish [English]
Everything that was a reference, Madoka actually did first. From The Boa Hancock head tilt to the Resident Evil fight scene, Meguca did first. Thanks for the video
Just returned to this channel after not seeing it in my reccomendations. Nice banger of a review on one of my most favorite anime. Time to catch up and watch other videos.
If they have the audacity to turn Homura into a villain in the next movie, I'm going to be SO PISSED I'll fly over to Japan and start throwing children at Urobuchi!
Rarely have I laughed that much watching a video on ytb. I can't understand how your channel isn't bigger. Also the re:zero joke man, funny but hurts like hell. Great content
i know i'm a bit late, but about the latin word incubāre... it doesn't mean "to lie". well... it does but not in that sense. it means to lie down (on something) or to lie in (something). basically, he is the one who "incubates"/prepares the girls so that they will transform and release the energy into the universe source? i'm romanian and my language us based on latin :)
Sure some of the wishes are hilariously dumb ( shoutout to the cheesecake girl), but I really like the really really good ones too. That one girl who watches nearly all her friends either leave her or die cuz she wished to “ survive” or the three girl who broke the magic system by scheming for like a month in a basement to take kyubey’s power with the three wish. That one girl that wished to for foresight and became a crashout in order to kill madoka before she can do the madoking and has a bunch of prophetic dreams of getting gatted by homura Fun time 🤣
Your vids are hillarious. Absolutely love this kind of humour. And don't get me started on how great this masterpiece of an anime is. Please keep making reviews of classics like this one.
Great anime. Shaft production was impeccable. Music and writing were great. Love the subversion of the preconception that "magical girl shows are happy-go-lucky shows meant for kids". I wasn't a big fan of the deus ex machina ending. I prefer stories where the MC can overcome the problem by getting stronger and smarter not "so-and-so turns into a god and fixes universe". The writing of Madoka Magica is competent enough that objectively they pulled it off/ the writing was consistent, but subjectively I wasn't into it.
Got a group of my friends to watch madoka under the guise of it being a sweet and wholesome magical girl anime... it's a Canon event that we all must face at some point
Everyone always says Kyubey never lied but lie by omission is a thing and also yes he literally did lie when Kyoko asked if there is a way to bring Sayaka back and Kyubey goes "well it was never done before but there probably is" and then later on Homura asks about it and Kyubey just says "lmao nah it was never gonna work" So, no, Incubators lie and deceive any way they can to get what they want.
I have to say the witches labyrinths are my favourite part of the whole series. They are so weird and detailed and the whole 2d ness makes them so creepy , and each labyrinth is unique and interesting
9:22 Am I being whooshed here? Incubator is from Latin - the Latin word (checks Google) incubare means “to lay down” or “to lay in”. So when the text says it’s means “to lie”, they are not wrong, but it’s not =that= kind of lie (homonyms are annoying). In both English and Japanese an incubator is a device for hatching eggs.
This anime is my favorite anime ever never have I been so attached to a anime haha but I really love this series and the many side stories that come with it such as the many mangas and the side game magia record (the game story is better then the Magia record anime btw) honestly I love how much they continue to put more stories and lore into the series and I can’t wait to keep seeing this series grow:)
Trading your soul for a cat is understandable. (Nice video ;P) PS: doesn’t “incubator” come from the fact that he’s basically funding magical girls as if they were startups - and only 10% of them live, exactly as startups? (seriously though, isn’t it because he incubates magical girls for energy?)
You mostly right about madoca exept in 1 point : madoka was not the first dark magical girls it was just the first popular in usa beford you have other like nanoah and may hime and may otome and even more in manga and ln
@whitelichmage7004 While you could consider Madoka's character journey a troupe now, it wasnt the case back during its first airring, it did what no other series had really done at the time and was honestly what stood out to me as a story. Another point in Madoka's case is that our perspective of Madoka in the original PMMM is of one that had countless alterations by Homura's countless attempts to deviate her from a fate of despair as a Magical Girl, Although not revealed until later on. Madoka's sacrifice to remove all witches and establish the Law of the Cycles was for the sake of all to never lose their hopes, as Madoka will be there for them, which is the main reason as to why magical girls become witches in the first place, by falling into despair. And honestly? That is why PMMM is a 10/10 for me. I do like the animes that you have listed though, especially VE, Monogatari and Steins gate
This, Cardcaptor Sakura and Magic Knight Rayearth are my favourite magical girl series. Like PMMM, MKR also deals with tragedy and confronting one's inner darkness.
Kyubey did actually lie multiple times, they just act like they didn’t. Prime example is when Kyouko asked if Sayaka could return to being a normal girl despite being a witch, and his answer was just ‘idk, maybe’ to give her false hope. Only for it to be later revealed that Kyubey knew that Sayaka could never return from her witch and that he just made up bullshit so Kyouko would end up dying trying to save Sayaka therefor forcing Madoka into making a wish to stop Walpurgisnacht for his precious energy. They aren’t honest creatures at all and they withhold and lie about information in whatever way will benefit them the most. Besides that withholding information means that Kyubey is making lies of omission, which is still a form of deception thats super scummy, so Kyubey is indeed in the wrong and not right no matter what lol. At least in human standards, Incubators could give less fucks.
one of the best magical girls diversion of said genre...anime originals are rare as stated in video..but risk taken well with masterpieces like these if done right!!! and if teh excecution of said idea gets such attention!!!
Smoking crack is a healthy alternative to gacha games. Plus, your family will be way less disappointed to learn that you smoke rock instead of paying for digital waifus on a turn base game
Kyubei lied when he told kyoko that there was a chance she and Madoka could save Sayaka and he literally told Homura that she did it so Madoka would be forced to turn into a Magical girl because Homura would be all alone.
I relate with the one who wished for cheesecake she's got her priorities straight tho I'd sell my soul to a cat for Lunar to review the Love Lives or at least the first one that's right it's related to the video this time
It gets even better, she wished for the SWEETEST, TASTIEST cheesecake EVER so she could flex on her dying mom by eating it right in front of her and not share any.

That one girl who watches nearly all her friends either leave her or die cuz she wished to “ survive” or the three girl who broke the magic system by scheming for like a month in a basement to take kyubey’s power with the three wish. That one girl that wished to for foresight and became a crashout in order to kill madoka before she can do the madoking and has a bunch of prophetic dreams of getting gatted by homura
Fun time 🤣
Your vids are hillarious. Absolutely love this kind of humour.
And don't get me started on how great this masterpiece of an anime is. Please keep making reviews of classics like this one.
We still waiting for that rebellion sequel update. It's been 2 years since the teaser.
Lot of mirrors? What about the Chairs all ower the rooms?
You sir deserve a shit ton more views and subs, I will watch your career with great interest.
Great anime. Shaft production was impeccable. Music and writing were great. Love the subversion of the preconception that "magical girl shows are happy-go-lucky shows meant for kids".
I wasn't a big fan of the deus ex machina ending. I prefer stories where the MC can overcome the problem by getting stronger and smarter not "so-and-so turns into a god and fixes universe". The writing of Madoka Magica is competent enough that objectively they pulled it off/ the writing was consistent, but subjectively I wasn't into it.
Got a group of my friends to watch madoka under the guise of it being a sweet and wholesome magical girl anime... it's a Canon event that we all must face at some point
Thanks for the video Lunar, have a nice weekend
Great video, as always.
Everyone always says Kyubey never lied but lie by omission is a thing and also yes he literally did lie when Kyoko asked if there is a way to bring Sayaka back and Kyubey goes "well it was never done before but there probably is" and then later on Homura asks about it and Kyubey just says "lmao nah it was never gonna work"
So, no, Incubators lie and deceive any way they can to get what they want.
While the show really is great, I wish it wasn't used as the sole measuring stick for later dark magical girl shows.
i hope Honkai Star Rail does sponsor you. You've got the subs!
I have to say the witches labyrinths are my favourite part of the whole series. They are so weird and detailed and the whole 2d ness makes them so creepy , and each labyrinth is unique and interesting
9:22 Am I being whooshed here? Incubator is from Latin - the Latin word (checks Google) incubare means “to lay down” or “to lay in”. So when the text says it’s means “to lie”, they are not wrong, but it’s not =that= kind of lie (homonyms are annoying).
In both English and Japanese an incubator is a device for hatching eggs.
I guess he was joking... I guess
Ahh yes the anime that I watched to try to recover from Evangelion. It didn’t help but it is now my favorite
This anime is my favorite anime ever never have I been so attached to a anime haha but I really love this series and the many side stories that come with it such as the many mangas and the side game magia record (the game story is better then the Magia record anime btw) honestly I love how much they continue to put more stories and lore into the series and I can’t wait to keep seeing this series grow:)
"So, if you ever feel like dying for the sake of the universe, call me anytime!"
best quote goes hard
What an incredible series. It left me with so many emotions: disturbed, shocked, sad, upset, moved. And the soundtrack!!!!!
The cat looks like it should be a pokemon
Reminds me of that Silva Gunner version of the Azelf/Uxie/Mesprit battle theme that turns into the MSMM witch battle theme (Venari Strigas).
Who's that pokemon?
Love your content.
That's monsters Inc reference ws pure gold. Well done
Please Shaft ends my suffering. Releases the fking 4th movie already, good damn it. Will you make Rebellion review?
Probably not but maybe when the other movie comes out (in 2030)
Ah yes Madoka Magica Rebellion, the anime about lesbian Satan taking over the universe from her female Jesus crush
the head tilts are a monogatari reference (made by studio shaft)
Trading your soul for a cat is understandable.
(Nice video ;P)
PS: doesn’t “incubator” come from the fact that he’s basically funding magical girls as if they were startups - and only 10% of them live, exactly as startups? (seriously though, isn’t it because he incubates magical girls for energy?)
You mostly right about madoca exept in 1 point : madoka was not the first dark magical girls it was just the first popular in usa beford you have other like nanoah and may hime and may otome and even more in manga and ln
The first anime had a collaboration with battle cats
11:10 LMAO WHAT( Honkai Impact Star Rail)
Genuinely, Madoka Magica is probbaly one of my favorite animes of all time, its just so amazing
@whitelichmage7004 its a 10/10 for me honestly
@whitelichmage7004 While you could consider Madoka's character journey a troupe now, it wasnt the case back during its first airring, it did what no other series had really done at the time and was honestly what stood out to me as a story. Another point in Madoka's case is that our perspective of Madoka in the original PMMM is of one that had countless alterations by Homura's countless attempts to deviate her from a fate of despair as a Magical Girl, Although not revealed until later on. Madoka's sacrifice to remove all witches and establish the Law of the Cycles was for the sake of all to never lose their hopes, as Madoka will be there for them, which is the main reason as to why magical girls become witches in the first place, by falling into despair. And honestly? That is why PMMM is a 10/10 for me. I do like the animes that you have listed though, especially VE, Monogatari and Steins gate
HAHAHAHAH I like your humor and the way this whole video was really entertaining definitely gonna sub
This, Cardcaptor Sakura and Magic Knight Rayearth are my favourite magical girl series. Like PMMM, MKR also deals with tragedy and confronting one's inner darkness.
so glad i watched madoka meguca last month omg now i can watch this vid
I would too trade my soul to save a cat, so I can't judge Madoka
Kyubey did actually lie multiple times, they just act like they didn’t. Prime example is when Kyouko asked if Sayaka could return to being a normal girl despite being a witch, and his answer was just ‘idk, maybe’ to give her false hope. Only for it to be later revealed that Kyubey knew that Sayaka could never return from her witch and that he just made up bullshit so Kyouko would end up dying trying to save Sayaka therefor forcing Madoka into making a wish to stop Walpurgisnacht for his precious energy. They aren’t honest creatures at all and they withhold and lie about information in whatever way will benefit them the most.
Besides that withholding information means that Kyubey is making lies of omission, which is still a form of deception thats super scummy, so Kyubey is indeed in the wrong and not right no matter what lol. At least in human standards, Incubators could give less fucks.
Homura best girl, you know it, I know it, we all know it
also, incubare is to lie like to lie down, not to tell a lie
Geninely did not see the "gotta be one of my favourite genders" joke coming
one of the best magical girls diversion of said genre...anime originals are rare as stated in video..but risk taken well with masterpieces like these if done right!!! and if teh excecution of said idea gets such attention!!!
4:59 I LOST IT
Are we just gonna glaze over the boku no piko part?
Please sponsor this man to get rolls or he will keep playing to get more rolls
Honestly so happy I went into this anime blind. Like it freaked me the fuck out but damn was it a good ride
Smoking crack is a healthy alternative to gacha games. Plus, your family will be way less disappointed to learn that you smoke rock instead of paying for digital waifus on a turn base game
The new Madoka sequel film is coming next year!
Have you thought of talking about Kemono Friends and the ride that the audience took on that bus?
The most perfect way i Have even seen to explain madoka
Madoka Magika: Hidamari Sketch's angsty and severely depressed twin sister (both shows' characters were designed by Ume Aoki).
HOMURA DID NOTHING WRONG!
this is the most hilarious anime recap ive watched !! so funny lmao
This video is insane
Normally I would have nitpick you about your upload schedule but yeahhh Hsr is pretty addicting Sooooooo I have no complains👍
I called mami getting murked so i never thought it was that shocking
Glad I finally watched a series before you reviewed it.
Just now watched this anime and I'm hooked!
Kyubei lied when he told kyoko that there was a chance she and Madoka could save Sayaka and he literally told Homura that she did it so Madoka would be forced to turn into a Magical girl because Homura would be all alone.
I relate with the one who wished for cheesecake she's got her priorities straight tho I'd sell my soul to a cat for Lunar to review the Love Lives or at least the first one that's right it's related to the video this time
It gets even better, she wished for the SWEETEST, TASTIEST cheesecake EVER so she could flex on her dying mom by eating it right in front of her and not share any.
@@മദ്യപാനം to add on, she realized she could've saved her mom with her wish and immediately witched out, destroying the hospital in the process
my source is magia record, the Nagisa event
could you review girl's last tour?
my favorite anime and i hope we get more on it!!!
10:44 insert flame writing gif

Besides Madoka Magica, Love Flops is one of my favorite anime originals.
