    Because we all hate the little bastard, right?

    So I was looking for a thread about the series Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and there didn't seem to be an active one, so...

    Urgh I don't even want to talk about the third movie, but omg. This is definitely one of my favourite anime of all time, and one of the only Magical Girl series I have ever watched, definitely the only one I've watched to completion.

    Since it's old enough now, I figure spoilers are fairly out there? Unless they're not, in which case I'm sorry. Anyway, I was hooked at the first sight of that gorgeous collage-chaos that is a Witch's Barrier, how about you guys?

    The third movie was fucking fantastic and weird and I'm not sure if I love it ironically or not

    Augh Homura you beautiful disaster I love her so much you have no idea. (Like she was one of my favourite characters in my first watch-through even when she was being cryptic and mysterious for no apparent reason - nowadays I have a deep appreciation for someone with a genuinely Good Soul like Madoka but I just... urgh Time players y u fuck up so bad XD)

    You know, I never got around to learning how to read Witch-script. For some reason they're more scary to me when they're incomprehensible. (And wow does this series do Other and Eldritch well - I get fucking chills every time I see one of those things XD)

    i remember being so confused when i first started looking at madoka fandom stuff and seeing people refer to stuff like witch's names that i didn't remember being mentioned - which turned out to be 'cause i didn't know how to read witch-script and wasn't even aware it was actually readable. like, i thought those names and stuff were popular headcanons or eu material, not actual anime canon.

    Here's the article I read about it; it's not very informative though, and I haven't seen anything more detailed since.

    I love this show and its vague literary allusions and weird symbolism and trippy animation and inversion of magical girl tropes...and then there's my weakness for time travel in all its forms. So, yeah, I am totally up to talk about the magical girl show.

    SFDebris' reviews of the series are kind of hilarious because when he starts out, he hasn't watched much anime before and so doesn't really appreciate it, and then his review of episode 10 is mostly a melodramatic AMV tribute to Homura because he can't even.

    Also I love the third movie mostly for turning the cheek-nuzzling thing into a reminder of despair. It's not quite FMA doggirl levels of ruined forever, but it's pretty great.

    Most of my PMMM consumption these days is in the form of To the Stars, because worldbuilding.

    @lilacsofthedead Nope, but you've got 44 chapters to read, apparently? (I don't read a lot of Madoka fic, but I went to check it out, out of sheer curiosity. I might read it eventually.)
