The animation and artstyle is also insanely creative and gorgeous and otherworldly.

[@elliswakelam9206]

Kyoko is often depicted "drowning" with Sayaka so that she wouldnt have to die alone. Sayakas witch form is a mermaid. Mermaids are known to drag people under and kill them. Kyokos witch form is a candle. Candles can't go in water without dieing. Also Kyokos witch name is Ophelia. Like Ophelia who drowned in one of the Shakespeare plays. IM DONE

[@WormyMaster]

The moment when there's more fucking symbolism in one scene of Madoka than there is in most other shows as a whole. Did you know that the swinging axeblades shadow in Homuras home actually comes closer to her each time we see her inside her home until it reaches her head in a few frames in episode 11? Also: The heavy artillery which homura hid beneath the water to fight Walpurgisnacht with has Studio Shafts Logo on it.

[@riripanini]

I love this symbolism so much hyngh

[@WormyMaster]

I just noticed something else. Sirens and Mermaids lure people in by singing with their beautiful voices. Oktavia basically does the same, but with a whole orchestra.

[@riripanini]

I noticed something too, Kyoko cuts off Oktavia's hand with her spear. Was that a reference to her wish for Kyousuke's arm to be healed?

She was shocked because of losing her humanity. In her eyes Kyosuke had 2 girls to choose: another one with soul and the other one without. She saw herself as a walking corpse and couldn't bear a thought of a corpse being hugged or kissed by the boy she loved. She really wanted to confess to him but because of all the self-hatred, Hitomi as a "superior rival" and all the other shit going on, couldn't bring herself to do it. At least that's how I got it. :P

[@Nobody-sf4cv]

Hey at least Hitomi gave her the opportunity to confess her feelings, instead of trying to ruin Sayaka, Hitomi tried to make it a fair competition

[@bluemagician9724]

You see, that's the one point where I agree with Kyuubey. Everything that was there before is there in the soul gem, and the body works just fine remotely as long as you don't screw with the connection in order not to feel pain, so I don't get the point in moaning 'Ohhh I'm *_undead_* bluhhh', like if you weren't before then you aren't now, you're just a rock, and not even a gay space rock.

[@edgystuffretarkidnormcring330]

I don’t see the point in moaning « waaa It’s more practical that way » as if you weren’t unsure of your humanity or worth as such before nothing changed whenever you where a Puella magi or not. Edgelord stands are Immature uncaring and self centered, it’s not because wannabe quirky says stuff that it changes, you’re a bland page, and not even a colorful straight one. Fagallo worse specie to ever live♠️

[@edgystuffretarkidnormcring330]

*uncaring bullied... bullied child

[@edgystuffretarkidnormcring330]

Tbh that might be the only time I agreed with Kyubey, but even if your body regenerates because of your soul gem, you would have been shocked and traumatized too to know you’re a « zombie » and going through so much pain that would kill a regular humain being, especially at 14yo.

[@Chaffee738]

In PMMM: A Different Story, Kyouko defeats Oktavia fast enough to retrieve Oktavia's grief seed and purify Mami's soul gem, which was already on the verge of turning into a grief seed when Kyouko left Mami. And although Kyouko ultimately lost and died, she still had enough power to immediately challenge another witch for a grief seed. So yes, had Kyouko not clung to the false hope that Sayaka could be turned back, she'd have won. Which brings us back to what an asshole Qbey is.

[@andreagrussu6778]

It's often that way. In Oriko Magica, it's shown Mami fighting and killing Charlotte. She said "I would have been in trouble if i wasn't paying attantion" and that's what happened in Madoka Magica. When a Puella magi as Powerful as Mami or Kyoko gets Killed, it's because something else is distracting them in some way

[@NeidalRuekk]

A perfect theme for a fallen heroine

[@zchen27]

I wonder what waltzing to this would feel like. Complete with a live orchestra and a conductor dressed up as a mermaid in plate and chainmail.

[@lapislazulicircus9078]

[@Mrdreamleaf]

Read the spinoff Puella Magi Madoka Magica: the other story and you will realize these characters are screwed no matter what. Sayaka will always turn into a witch if she makes a contract just like Mami will always get killed, even if its not from Charlotte.

[@xBelzerger]

That's the fate of all magical girls, dying alone and forgotten in a witch maze, or becoming a witch themselves.

[@Mrdreamleaf]

Hannah Small Well, she lied to herself about her motives despite being warned by Mami to consider what she truly wanted. Also it does not help that Kyubey is intentionally so vague when explaining what it means to be a Magical Girl =_=

[@Mrdreamleaf]

Hannah Small Kyubey admits to Madoka that every single magical girl that has found out has reacted with anger, so even if you agree with its rationalization it is still knowingly holding back information that would effect the initial decision. It reminds me of a scam artist claiming that he/she is not a thief or a liar claiming they only bend the truth. Kyubey is a scam artist that believes that believes that what its doing is fair an necessary regardless of how many people suffer as a result. (Rebellion story spoilers ahead) Kind of ironic that it finally decides that the system is not worth it the moment it gets caught in the cycle it created. But at that point no level of rationalization or logic would work anymore. Kyubey is the one character in this series to truly get what it deserved by the end.

[@Mrdreamleaf]

Hannah Small ** (Rebellion SPOILERS) ** Homura sure holds it against Kyubey. Normally that would not matter except that now Homura is in charge of the cycle that the Incubators were once on top of and they are now caught in it just as much as the magical girls are. Kyubey sure seemed in an awful hurry to abandon everything the moment Homura took Madokas powers. Do you think it feels understands regret? Probably not in the typical sense, no. But it does understand that things are much worse then before and that the cycle is just as dangerous to them as it was to the girls. If Homura decides to pour all the hatred and despair into Kyubey then the logic does not change from when it did it to the girls. Everything is a result of its own ignorance to the consequence of its actions, and that its pointless to complain. Homura could let the Incubators die out, say screw entropy and Kyubey would have as much right to be bothered by it as the girls did when they discovered the truth about their contracts. If the magical girls were foolish to make wishes, then the incubators were fools to fight against entropy to begin with.

[@Mrdreamleaf]

Hannah Small Same here. Going to be getting the Dvd on April 8th when its released. I thought it was a great addition to an already amazing series ^_^

[@matcha._.000]

She entire labyrinth is theme around her,hitomi and kyouske,Oktavia is on a center of a stage means that she's the center of Kyousuke's attention. There's a violin playing in her theme and Kyouske plays violin and one of her familiars resembles hitomi. And Oktavia is based on the original fairytale The Little Mermaid, where the mermaid makes a wish to get legs and made a sacrifice for the one she loved but the boy she loved dated someone else instead,at the end of the fairytale she then goes back into the sea and turns into sea foam.

[@sasabou1016]

まどか☆マギカで一番好きな曲。 叶わぬ恋を抱く人魚。 悲哀に満ちた曲はさやかの結末そのもの。

[@lilianaportello5650]

Straight from Puella Wiki: ~Sayaka's witch name is Oktavia von Seckendorff. Karl Siegmund von Seckendorff was a German poet who wrote a book called "The Wheel of Fate" (Das Rad des Schicksals), and could explain Sayaka's wheel attack. ~[...]May also symbolize the Wheel of Fortune from tarot, whose popular interpretations include "possibilities, opportunities, new developments, sudden changes", which fit Sayaka's life from when she encountered Kyubey to when she became a Witch.

[@Lardo137]

personally, I think that Kyosuke was unworthy of Sayaka's affections. I'm not saying that he is obligated to love Sayaka, I'm just saying that their relationship was unhealthy for both parties, and I just cannot see them as a couple.

[@puerinsomnio8936]

Affluent of memories Symphony that cradles me Flowing down to cold waters And repeating itself on the scale Dramatica sonata Resounding on the hall As I watch this concert I lose myself in futile dreams I hear this cantata beckoning Demanding your attention Echoing in this sea That is within my heart An uneven harmony An abysmal melody This musical gives me life And I die at the finale From Order, Chaos is born And it conducts this orchestra I am a slave to its music As well as its illustrious maestra Such heartbreaking destiny! Such abominable tragedy! To know I've been wrong all along! And that I am a comedy! And in dreams that never came to be A soft but gripping crescendo I hear the voice I wanted for myself And I am plunged into darkness As I dissolve into foam And am doomed to oblivion I am awakened to the past My torment stars anew

[@charadreemurr7379]

Okay, lets refer to the ending after episode 9. It shows Kyoko holding Sayaka's hands under water. Now, Kyoko and Sayaka both died in this episode. So first of all, Kyoko's witch form has a candle for a head. Now fire cant go into water without drowning. Another thing, Sayaka's witch is a Mermaid. Some mermaids are known to drown people. Also, one of Oktavia's farmiliers is Kyouskei. The one she loved. He is the one playing the orchistral music. And in Kyoko's transformation it shows fire. In Sayaka's it shows water, effecting their witches. A candle, (fire) And a Mermaid. (Water). Thats all.

I thought the mermaid theme was just about siren songs and such. But I just realized that Sayaka’s story is that of The Little Mermaid’s(the original, not Disney). She traded her life away for a chance to get closer to boy, just for her love to and sacrifice to go unnoticed and unrequited. Then he moves on to another girl and she’s left heartbroken and in shambles cuz she’ll never be able to fit in with other humans, and ultimately dies as a consequence of the bargain she made in her own naïvety

[@namfon9405]

[@RisingMushaMist]

Sayakas fall is the result of her wanting to carry the burden of being a hero of justice by herself , the burden of being a hero like that , is that you fight alone , you defend love alone, you live alone in other words you accept no help from anyone, in a sense sayaka is very much like mami , except that mami didnt want any of that , she was forced into it , which means that she tried getting help from others ,as she saw herself as an accidental hero who should find help from other , while sayaka would have never accepted that , sinds she saw herself as a destined hero who should carry the burden alone.

Sayaka is one of the characters who suffers the most in the anime. She transforms into a magical girl to get the boy well with the hope he notices her and be together. However she realizes, as a magical girl, that she can't be with him cause her fate is becoming a witch. Besides, her friend Hitomi also fell in love with the guy. These events cause Sayaka being in desperation and eventually transforms into a witch. Her story is very sad, certainly.

wow.... calm down will ya... Well, Madoka did sacrifice herself, yes, that is sth I can't deny. But heck, so what? She did that and that only. Well, yeah, maybe some times she was hurt and had to make choice that she herself don't want to (ed: kill Mami) but soon enough, she will die, unlike Homura, who continue on living just to "save a friend". And compare her suffering to Sayaka, it's still so much better.... Oh, there are Mami and Kyouko too. If you say that Madoka's suffering is worse than theirs, go and read the "MSMM-The difference story" immediately and die from the feels. Well, to sum up, my point is: Yes, Madoka had gone through some depression stuffs, too. But to be honest, she suffered so much less than the others, so I don't feel right saying that Madoka had suffered like others.

A hero of the past who used to be a guardian of justice. She dedicated her entire life to protect the king, the state, the city, and the weak. The knight had to uphold the laws of God and the pursuit of valor, chivalry, and justice. However, after a long history fraught with hardship and conflict, the knight realized in retrospect that nothing was truly upheld on her watch. The truth changed a lot of people. The will to protect seems to remain unchanged after all this time; even in containment, it is still obsessed with the act of protection. All that remains is the hollow pride of a weathered knight. The tenacity of the hero who cannot leave the past behind is a pitiful sight.

Ok but no one will talk about how big octavia is

[@justanomorifan3059]

Like her kyoko is small compared to. Octaviaa swords arent as big as her body when kyoko isnt as big as the sword at all

[@lorebleh]

man I hope never find something like her in real life, holy shit 😭

[@mannilorenz9008]

Ok you got me. I´ll watch your show about magical girls. I´m not even into anime that much but i´m a sucker for a good soundtrack and this reminds me of Castlevania Symphony of the Night so its a 11/10 by default. Holy shit.

One of the best moments of Kyoko-chan and saddest of Sayaka-chan :'(

I hear some flame of despair... And Magia... Never noticed that before

[@mahoushoujo7278]

THAT moment,"I'm such a fool!"

[@yotsuyachanAMV]

*replies to another old comment* The thing about this show is that it's about the act of equivalent exchange, and it has amazing details put into the show about it. Like how when Homura asks Madoka if she had any grief seeds when they were both to become witches, she gave her Sayaka's grief seed. It's like the act of a Puella Magi becoming a witch is to prevent another Puella Magi from becoming one with it's grief seed.

[@sushikat94]

Sayaka was the only one dead because she already had turned into a witch. Madoka's wish was to erase all the witches from the world, killing Sayaka in the process. I really wish she could have been saved too, but hey, you can't always save everyone.

I don't know why this song always hypnotizes me

[@Arbalesk101]

This is one of a couple tracks I always imagine playing along side a sword fight with heavy sweaps colliding and whiffing eachother. Other tracks that give me this feeling are Against the Dark Knight from the Fire Emblem series and another one of Yuki Kajura's songs, Green Eyed Session from the Fate Zero OST.

[@RevnaVarea]

Video in the background is Herbert von Karajan, quoted from Wikipedia: "In 1933 Karajan made his conducting debut at the Salzburg Festival with the Walpurgisnacht Scene in Max Reinhardt's production of Faust." What incredible irony, that or the video maker was incredibly savvy and decided to use Karajan because of this. Either way I applaud this.

Episode 9 always seems to get me, Kyoko can't cope with Sayaka turning into a witch and commits suicide because she saw someone make the same mistakes she did ? Brutal.

[@JabamiLain]

I know this song is sad, but I really love hearing it (that must mean I'm either really happy or don't understand love).

[@darkkamuiuchia3473]

I watched the series when I was 8 plus the movies. Let's just say that I love the show and it still sends chills down my spine whenever people bring up how cute kyubey is

[@WinxMagicalHero]

Truly beautiful. Its a piece of art

[@baronagony4767]

Anybody ever wonder if there were different circumstances in the flashback world where Sayaka became a witch and Mami killed Kyoko? Since the barrier was more like an idol concert with Hitomi like familiars as backup dancers instead of the demonic symphony could it have been Sayaka was rejected for Hitomi even without knowing her soul was now inside the gem? Or just burnt her powers out due to lack of grief seeds and jealousy that Hitomi liked the same boy?

[@BambolaNera99]

sayaka was like the little mermaid,but the little mermaid didn't had a friend died for saving her.

[@sarahrodriguez8531]

This show was by far one of those anime's that left me more frustrated than anything because literally (SPOILERS) I feel like the ending to the show totally demeaned the show itself. It canceled out everything once Madoka became a god and was forgotten, after the entire show was about her turning into a freeking magical girl from the beginning. If anything I was so frustrated and pissed off at that ending.

[@Ik40i]

Wait until Rebellion comes out. Like, even if everything seemed canceled out, Kyuubeys will always try to find a loophole to do whatever they can to experiment on how they'll reach their goals by using the magical girls. (spoiler) Of course, Madoka became a goddess, and that since Homura told Kyuubey about her memories of it, it wouldn't be surprising that Kyuubey will try to find a way to see if 'Madoka exist' or not, and even if she does, they'll come up with some plan to do expose her or something I dunno, I'm mostly making assumptions here due to the trailers of Rebellion and purpose that Kyuubey has always had in mind from the very beginning.

[@MerelWithChoclate]

At least it had an ending, unlike OTHER shows...

[@Ik40i]

Ah, they said that there will be a few continuing episodes AFTER Rebellion. .w.

[@Mrdreamleaf]

Ik40i Any chance you have a source on that? I have not been able to find any official comments on whether or not they will be continuing the series after The Rebellion Story. I am very much interested since it is my favorite anime series atm. In regards to the TV ending and Rebellion story I would say that while many aspects of the TV series had a seemingly depressing ending, it was rather uplifting. Hope is different from happiness, but its still a positive note. The Rebellion story (spoilerish) is the opposite side of the same coin. A lot of aspects of the ending are objectively a good thing, but in return you lose the hope that was presented in the TV series. I like the direct contrast between the two endings.

[@Ik40i]

I read it at least a week or 2 ago somewhere in Puella Wiki. Of course, I'm not sure that it's offical but I'm hoping that it is.

[@PokemonGamesTips]

Made me nearly cry just thinking about sayaka...

[@Totallynotkyubey]

Oktavia was a new witch, and still rather weak (Sakura cut her arm off relatively easily). My guess is that if she were to fight her seriously, it would be a straightforward victory. So yes, Sakura was holding back, and so she lost.

[@14.huanle60]

i feel like Dark Souls ! Mahou Shoujo is like the Dark Souls of Mahou Shoujo genre! thumps up if you think so

[@LuckOfTheDrawReborn]

I'm still confused over Kyoko's death It seemed like she delivered a decisive blow against Witch Sayaka

[@theshinypeliper8813]

She pulled off a suicidal attack to finish Oktavia off; shattering her soul gem so she could die with Sayaka so she didn’t have to be alone anymore
