And even then her trying to give Homura a taste of her own medicine by being more knowledgable about the situation comes back to bite her. Not that I really think the conclusion was avoidable anyways but giving a more convincing parlay to Homura wouldn't have hurt.

>>285602058
Businesses are always like this. They need you to tell them when you're expected to finish something even if you have no realistic way of determining it with any accuracy. And then they get mad when you miss it, though in this case it's something that affects people who want to watch the movie too. Shaft seems particularly bad at hitting target dates (though typically in the past they've just released something unfinished, even if it's just the OP or something) but one of the higher ups was probably pushing people for dates.

Hmmm I don't know, a situation like Homura's doesn't really have a lot of precedent so maybe Sayaka was worried that if she told Homura straight up who the witch was she wouldn't believe her and prolong the whole ordeal unnecessarily. It doesn't help that Sayaka is also just inherently untrustworthy in the same way Homura was in the main show due to her impossible knowledge. I've said it before and it may be hopium but I really, really would like to see Sayaka being proactive in fixing things in the new movie. She's come the farthest in terms of personal narrative development. I don't care if she jobs and loses fights but I want her to keep moving forward into a happier outcome, or an outcome she can choose for herself.

>Look, Homura. Look at what you are throwing away. Is it worth it?

>>285602209
She doesn't have to tell Homura that she's the witch if that's her concern. The judicious thing would be to pin the blame on Kyubey (Homura was too laser focused on the witch to remember the true enemy) by giving just enough of the truth to appear credible. I.e. she was taken away by the Law of Cycles and in so doing gained knowledge of all her timelines, and that Madoka allowed herself to get captured by the barrier in order to save the meguca that Kyubey trapped as bait. I think the end result is ultimately what we got regardless, and Sayaka isn't that much of a smooth talker so I won't hold it against her that much.

But Sayaka did get her happier outcome, she no longer has to regret leaving Kyoko behind.
>>
>>285602405
>But Sayaka did get her happier outcome, she no longer has to regret leaving Kyoko behind.
Yeah that would have been true if Homura had let Madoka take her and they all said there final goodbyes in the theoretical safe ending that Rebellion could have had. But now were in the Kaiten realm where Sayaka has memories of divinity that are still rattling around and a face she has to bandage up to keep in from melting off, so maybe a little bit more of golden end is in order. And I don't mean in a personal sense like getting the boy back or something stupid, but I'd like to see her actually fulfill the ideal she had of being a magical girl that stood for justice, though now with a clearer picture of what justice truly is. In fact if we're going by the earlier conversation about ideals, that would be the narrative thread I'd like for all the girls, in a world where they've learned from their failures, they can rediscover the idealism that brought them to where they are now into somewhere new. What that might look like would have to be up to the people making the next film though.
>>
>>285602578
I'm just going to ignore any content the new movie has put forth in trailers without context until the damn thing actually comes out. As far as I'm concerned, she's just hanging out doing non-meguca things until the boat gets rocked.

Hitomi exists to show that simply not becoming a meguca is not an option. She, like Junko, exists to be a failure. She is the most traditional feminine character in japanese culture. She does everything right. Just as Junko did everything right in a leans in girlboss perspective. they both are utterly dismantled by this world. This creates the paradox madoka must navigate because without it the moral opposition to becoming a magical girl would be too strong for anyone to overcome. There's a reason magia Reco, despite being a heap of trash, Opens madoka's meguca transformation with a line like "Even though its probably bad to be a magical girl, I'll continue". Without Hitomi's failure in being witch food and later in rebellion a hapless nightmare, it would become obvious that the only real proper fate for magical girls as well as witches would be genocide. Every single day a magical girl exists can be another day they need to eat humans (effectively) to survive. Every single grief seed is either another magical girl or another equivalent weight in potential humans. It's an abhorrent and disgusting system that isn't to be admired and yet Madoka admires it in a way that is obviously central to her character. With death lurking whether madoka contracts or not, the weight and balance of the emotions and morality of the system tips back towards the center and it becomes her challenge to navigate the system and upend it.

It honestly is one of the biggest reasons I did not like Madoka rebellions ending. it felt utterly at odds with Madoka's character arc to give lip service to rules and order.

Bitch you missed the Superbowl, we were gonna watch it together

Personally I like that every single character has a clear lie they have to overcome in the stages of grief and that makes sayaka, who is anger, someone who has to reject her natural animonisty, both for herself, and others even her opponents, in order to topple them. her bodying homura in because she respected her wasn't an accident in the witch world, but homura instantly toppled her the moment she let her anger spike at what she had done. Mami wasn't in denial about bebe, but she was in denial about homura, sayaka, and madoka, and thus looses the fight with homura against sayakas sudden ambush. It extends to fanfiction as well, the best Sayaka fics and Mami fics have their successes come from these plot points whether the author realizes it or not, because the continuation of each characters character arc in a positive or negative way showcases and conforms to their initial story.

I think that also explains why Madoka herself gets so little love and attention from the fan base. It's a lot easier to write your story around a protagonist who is in denial, or is filled with rage, or is too depressed and wounded by hedgehogs dichotemy. It's a lot harder to write a character who's primary characteristic of being accepting nice and feminine, needs to give way to rejection in order to succeed. Madoka has the ultimate hat trick of rejecting despair outright, maintaining her hope in the process. but that takes a lot of plot engineering and thinking and introspection. It involved a lot of external influences and made her actions very cerebral and understated.

All Madoka fics are ass made by tumblrtards projecting their queer sexual identities on the characters

Ironically though I think Mami had the biggest impact rather than homura and kyouko coming off as selfish. Mami isn't just obscuring her own wish because it makes her look better. She's genuinely living with the pain and guilt of being too selfish to think of them every single day of her life. She wanted Sayaka to be more selfless because she was externalizing and trying to prepare Sayaka for those possibilities at the same time. But because their situations are so drastically different Mami's help can't apply to sayaka in any meaningful way. It's possible even that Mami's selfish wish is even what allowed her to survive as long as she had, and that sharing her miracle could have been a mistake that would have ended in despair even sooner.

Homura does not love madoka romantically.
Homura loves Madoka with the divine love agape that is the love of God.
Homura is „the devil“ because the true form of love is hated by the world.
And yet she has overcome the world through love.

To say that this is merely romantic love is blasphemy because it equates the sacred and divine with that which is mundane.
>>
>>285606620
>Homura loves Madoka with the divine love agape that is the love of God.
I think her behavior also shows that it’s pretty close to a mother’s love for her children, as well. A mother will sacrifice everything to keep her children in safety and happiness, out of love, but obviously not out of personal desire. In fact, the mother straight up expects her children to leave her when they’re ready to face the world by themselves without being a danger for themselves. And Homura is trying her best to have that happen to Madoka, but Madoka refuses to grow up because her sacrificial tendencies are just too strong.

fair, but with the messaging of hitomi it's clearly not enough to simply avoid becoming used up and unstained if it only results in ignorance. We see that such ignorance is not bliss, in fact that misery almost kills what should have been the most ideal woman. The hero who saved her? the same impressionable girl mami had been grooming as you put it. It's really possible hitomi could have died before madoka even met mami if it were not for madoka's potential becoming kyuubeis sole focus due to the lucrative potential of her harvest. At that point you can accept homura's philosophy and protect the cherished from the misery, or you can accept madoka's and plunge your arm into the box of razors.

Mami is a great character but a horrible person. Whereas Sayaka genuinely cares very much about justice and fairness (so much so that she's quick to judge people based on nothing but her assumptions), Mami mostly cares about giving everyone the impression that she cares about justice and fairness. Sure, she helps people in need, especially when it lets her look cool in front of someone, but when no one she wants to look cool in front of is present, she just goes around shitting on people for being bullied.

That's what's great about her. Imagine telling some boomers parent they doomed their country and offspring by winning wwii. She perfectly encapsulates denial. Her motives and behaviors preclude any possibility of a conversation. Without her you would question why the system continues without forced perpetuation. The magical girls continue it by clinging to ignorance with violence. This is also compatible to real life.

Funny you mention it because I'm going through that anime right now. It's definitely a lot more slice of life than Madoka ever was. I'm only 3 episodes in but since it's already so shot I'll probably finish it even though the last 2 episodes haven't been very interesting.
Maybe it's because I haven't seen much Mahou Shoujo outside of Madoka, but I keep comparing it to Madoka and thinking Madoka did what it's doing better. I'll stick with it tho, I'm sure it will eventually get better as the series goes on

YuYuYu is probably the show that struggles the most with occupying similar space as MadoMagi. It's not a bad show but it sometimes feels like it sometimes forces itself to do something different than the most natural development just because the natural one is what Madoka already did.

Man I've even started playing Exedra when I don't even like gacha and I still have no idea who 90% of these freaks are. I saw one magical girl called Yu, the weird unicorn thing and it kind of made me realize that there's this whole entire Star Wars glub shitto type expanded universe that spawned from a single season 12 episode show. The fact that something like that can even go so far as to support a bi monthly magazine focused entirely on one franchise in Japan blows my mind.

How do people like most of them? I know Nagisa is basically the plus one of the Holy Quintet since she's in Rebellion, and that there are a few manga spin off characters that show up too. But I've never ever seen any of these gacha characters show up on the internet outside of circles dedicated to Madoka. That one Alina Grey girl seems to have a little bit of attention put on her but it seems like she's more of a meme then someone people actually like.

Yeah I'll admit, I don't think I'm built to enjoy this genre at all. I hate gambling and stuff like dailies in most games, but I wanted to see some of the Magia record stuff while we wait for Kaiten to come out. Think I'll just read some of the manga instead.
One thing that I had a bit of an epiphany about though is something that's kind of been in the back of my mind for a long time about gacha characters, and on a grander scale a lot of anime characters in general. Every time I'd look at one of those literal who Meguca's backstory they'd often follow a very specific formula, establish some weird gimmick that defines much of there personality, and then provide a tragic vignette that explains why they have that specific gimmick. Think Nagisa with her cheese thing and the super duper sad and totally not contrived cheese tragedy with her mom. I mostly say this since on my rewatch I was trying to figure out why Kyouko felt really out of place with the other 4 girls in the original show, and then I realized that she also basically followed this formula to a tee. Though she's a lot more enjoyable of a character to watch on screen then basically all of these little weirdos, her smaller role in the original show kind of forced them to give her a much more easily digestible story that could be described in a single scene. I suspect that when they were writing MadoMagi they had Sayaka, Mami, Madoka and Homura and the themes of the show already figured out but needed just one more character to make things work and then created Kyouko to fit in with what they already had instead of having the story be about her. Kind of like an evolutionary link between the other anime girls and all the spin off girls that came after.

>>285624801
>Think Nagisa with her cheese thing and the super duper sad and totally not contrived cheese tragedy with her mom.
you must be new so you should be aware that nagisa predates the retarded gacha slop. Also while I am not going to say you are wrong a lot of gacha characters (not necissarily a majority just a sufficient ammount) are probably based on witches that also exist and witches DO follow said set of rules because that defines their labyrinth. This is why nagisa momo has that back story. she had it even before rebellion, because it was necissary esoteric information/fuel for inucurry to design her labyrinth. as for kyouko herself, she is not seen in some of the original promotional material and was supposed to be the stand in fakeout antagonist along side homuras green/silver ranger

Sorry I think the way I wrote that post implied that I was exclusively just talking about the characters in Exedra, I was in fact thinking more about how Japan tends to write a lot of characters in general. Off the top of my head Disgaea does it, One Piece does it from what little I've seen of it, probably countless other series do this sort of thing. And the thing about Nagisa and Kyouko for me is that I actually do like them as characters, and they aren't the main focus of Madoka Magica so they don't really need to have the depth of character as someone like Sayaka or Homura, or even Madoka and Mami. But there are definitely a lot of franchises out there that will have their entire cast follow the gimmick>sad backstory for gimmick formula. I don't think it's a bad way to write characters mind you, but I think what made Madoka Magica special is that the girls in it feel like they wrote the events that happen and molded the characters through the story rather then coming up with an immediately understandable character and then contriving a reason for them to be the way that they are. And again I don't think every person involved in the plot all need to be written that way, some characters can just be there to serve a purpose and any back story they have can be used as a little bit of set dressing to make them fit in more. It's just that once you start to expand outwards and make spin off material, and you start using this formula to make new casts of characters, you can really start to feel the difference between the two.

I think that particular remark was not with respect to Nagisa's trivia given in the animation note, but rather the absolute nonsense that was her "full" backstory in MagiReco complete with the edgelord unicorn meguca.

You know thinking about it now, I thought I read Nagisa's backstory on the wiki or something only to find it wasn't really there, and I'm realizing that I actually had her backstory with her mom that hates her and trying to appeal to her with cheesecake or whatever described to me in a youtube comment, and I rolled my eyes at the over the top nature of it. I DID also find out later that the mother was murdered by the creepy unicorn thing, but I will admit I did not experience her story myself so me shitting on it as hard as I did might not be justified. I still believe she fits my example of the formula I was talking about however,

Sheesh. It's always simple, short series that are super self contained like Madoka that turn into the most convoluted things ever once they get popular and try to expand. I think I might just stick to Wraith arc and the Mami/Kyouko prequel for now. Maaaaaybe Oriko and Tart since I heard they were okay.

Well the original series' ending makes Madoka an unusually hard property to write side stories for. Either you make a completely self-contained side story that doesn't involve the Holy Quintet at all (Kazumi, Suzune, Tart) or you tell a story that ultimately doesn't matter because its timeline is going to be overwritten (the other manga that aren't gag self-parodies) or... you invent a special snowflake parallel universe (Magia Record)

Personally I think the ending of madoka was too good and finished to allow for a proper continuation. Wraiths cant carry the setting forward. In fact in my own imagination with madoka experiencing the as n approaches infinity fic, with the permutations of changes I made (there are already some characters who "recognize tropes" like kazumi and renji in the original fic) she ends up thinking of the wish she made in canon as a possible idea but discards it because she realizes if her setting is actually fiction it would basically be retconned almost immediately. regardless of how illogical and stupid it would be from anyone in universe who has to actually live along side them, witches must be an appeal point of the setting with their unique appearance. it would be like nuking all eldritch horrors from cthulu. such a sweeping change could have no staying power in the future of the franchise because something else would inevitably need to establish itself as a replacement. We have in actual canon Madoka's 12 episode anime, the movies as a separate but parallel canon. and several spin off manga. then after that the side material which is non canon at worst and supplementary at best (drama cds). then we have the completely non canon material (games which exist in an alternate universe, reco, scene zero, pentagram, portable. side manga which are entirely gag based, doujins, crossovers)

I think this block of TL:DR encompasses a lot of the evidence for the following fact: Madoka has a lot of left over emotion to explore but not a lot of leftover plot. as someone dabbling in creativity in this franchise, understanding the characters intricate details isn't that hard if you go into it with an open mind. But writing the plot is another matter entirely. The setting rules of madoka magica are extremely strict in a lot of ways that makes writing a plot that fits in with what came before extremely challenging. Never mind capturing the same core appeal as the show.
>>
>>285626469
There was a reason why when I first watched this show as a highschooler back in 2015 or whatever I never watched Rebellion. The original ending really was kind of perfect and tied everything up beautifully. I'm glad I waited until this year to rewatch the OG and finally see Rebellion though, it since while the literal perfect plot does get undone, watching the characters move even farther into the arcs that were set up by the tv show was a treat.
>>285626760
>Madoka has a lot of left over emotion to explore but not a lot of leftover plot.
I agree heavily with this sentiment. The characters still have juice in their personal stories but the tale of Madoka Magica was kind of a one and done deal. A very strange problem to have.

Plot going forward? How ridiculous would it be to have a plot where it's some sort of fight against one or more alien civilizations? Incredibly absurd. How about, fast forward 1500 years and humanity has the tech to control (at least somewhat) meguca powers and there is a civilizational space war. Even more absurd and retarded. Don't care, would watch.
>>
>>285626760
As a result when canon, fanfiction, side stories, and doujin material try to handle the penultimate conflicts without stepping on the toes of the original they can stumble badly. Even Rebellion does this, having madoka take on the position of order and authority and not breaking the rules, when basically the entire arc of madoka's character is the antithesis of this. But rebellion is still well received for the most part.

Why is that? it's because the emotions are left on the table to explore as mentioned. We got madoka's emotional through line in the 12 episode anime. We learned how girls must seize power or be crushed by an uncarring universe. But Homuras storyline was left almost entirely untapped. the story of the opinions that are counter to that, of protecting those innocent brave girls from the razors of that uncaring universe, and a perspective that lines up deeply with a lot of the adult male audience to begin with. When rebellion explored that plot it felt correct to explore. But it also had to crush what came before it under a jackboot of plot revisions and retcons. I think even the people involved in the project also didn't like that about it or knew at least it would be divisive enough and so came up with the multiple canon timelines.

Personally I think Madoka suffers a lot from trying too hard to monetize a continuous setting that obeys all of the same rules. I like that the world can, especially in as n approaches infinity and witch of subsumption, be almost treated like a magical girl sandbox world filled with mysterious and deadly mysteries. but pretty much anything is going to require homura to turn that shield again and or clap those hands. if you want it to make sense.

theyre ones I read or have read. I dont write but sometimes I do like to imagine changes I would make to these fics to improve them.

Witch of subsumption is one I whole heartedly recommend without any caveats. Kyoukojogger wont like it but when does that faggot ever like anything. You as a sayakafag might enjoy it especially since its very sayaka centric though the protagonist is actually a witch. The main issue this fanfic has is that it never really gets off the ground. You are introduced to its mechanics, its premise, and then it just abruptly ends on the cusp of the prelude being concluded. essentially on episode 4 if you will, where mami dies and the status quo changes.

I still think its worth reading.

As n approaches infinity is a lot more flawed but it has to be in order to account for the fact that as a crossover it must concede on some madoka related things. The biggest problem I had with it though is how everyone side steps the fact that magical girls need to consume the despair of souls effectively to survive and the closest thing to it addressing that comes from homura and its just not very good. a much better explination to sayaka could be given, and then its never ever brought up again in a meaningful way nor do characters react appropriately to it the way sayaka does in the actual anime; by giving the grief seeds away.

secondly, the fic unnecissarily blows kaname junko, turning her from a struggling but affluent OL to someone who can out drink geezers and is too smart for anyone to fool or be fooled. The entire point of this character was to be an example of how junkos suffering and failures where not pointless. It's what gives madoka the tenacity for her wish and seeing her mom in homura.

Lastly the fanfic also seems to or tries to understate the fact that universes are unique and not reverted. In my imaginings I changed these things and gave madoka a new hobby similar to guitar kyousuke to shift the story. I liked the rest of it.

Interesting. I'm not sure if I'd ever take the dive into the fanfic well myself anymore but it's neat to see people who are still into it. Also Bleach/Madoka is a strange combo. I read the first few hundred chapters of Bleach up until he turned into a hollow ages ago and forgot 99% of what happened so I don't really know how these two settings would coexist, not just mechanically but thematically. I also think I wouldn't be able to handle the first fic since it ends before the plot starts.

reading fanfiction is not for everyone. everyone has their opinions, red flags, and frustrations. Furthermore I prefer longfics, and as n approaches infinity is basically 500k words. very few fics in madoka are longer. I think some warnings over its problems are warranted.
>>285628526
Personally I think the fanfic does a god job explaining how the settings mesh together. I also think doppels/hollow bankai are an interesting direction for magical girls to develop in the future. Add to the fact that the inner world of bleach seems to be reflected in the pocket labyrinths of witches and it seems like its ripe for a crossover like this, and it's not even the only one. There are a few others like it. That said I don't really care for bleach as a setting itself. I'm firmly in the madoka side of things, but I like characters who face a dark version of themselves and I think it would be cool for madoka's inner bleach world to be a reflection of her in kriemhild Gretchen, which seems to be the direction the story is going but since it's homura centric I haven't been given strong reason the payoff will be that good. Madoka's empathy and desire to connect with others into what we know as the law of cycles has its roots in her witch form and it's tyrannical form of this power.

to quote a certain gamedev jewtuber "It's ugly and unpredictable and it's scary, so he tries to pretend it doesn't exist, or that he doesn't need it but of course, that only makes the problem worse, and holds him back from being the person he needs to become to protect the people he really cares about" I honestly hope the fic goes for that because I am here for madoka conquering and then allying with that dark version of herself in a prolonged fashion rather than in one explosive moment in episode 12.

People normally regard fanfiction the way you would regard seeing someone shitting in the street despite the fact that people consume even worse slop every single day.

A story that explores Madoka's character in a way that doesn't have her take the observer role she does in the main show definitely would be appealing if she's the character you identify most strongly with. I suppose I'm lucky in that Sayaka was done so well in the show itself that fics like that aren't really needed for her, the only place for Sayaka's story to go from the show is up. Do you relate to Madoka anon? I've notice you like to post her quite a bit. It might sound really, really fucking cringe, but when I was a very emotional teen I used to listen to Sayaka's normal and witch themes on loop in bed and just cry for like a week or two after watching the show.

I don't think I was even in highschool when I read through bleach and it wasn't my favourite series so my memory is very foggy, but I do remember that I really, really liked Chad. Thought he was super cool. Heard later that he basically gets forgotten after that one fight where he summons giant fists from the sky and understood I made the right decision not continuing the series. I'm not a shonen person, I'm not the sort that needs characters to win fights to like them, but characters just fading in the background with nothing to do makes me sad.

I mean, it's fanfiction. It would be more surprising if a large amount of it wasn't shipping related.
The amount of fics that crossover with multiple other series is what I find more surprising. Not because I don't expect them, but because of how many there are.

>>285628931
That being said I agree there should be more fics that are just normal stuff that’s not a crossover and not shipping cancer.

What about you anon? Was there someone in particular you really liked from that series? These days the only time I'll ever see people mentioning Bleach is for the girls but I think that's just modern coomer /a/ for you. I can't recall if anyone had deeper arcs in that show or if it was more like a Dragonball type show where it was just about getting power ups. I do remember the inner mind palace fights against the evil self being pretty interesting though.

witch of subsumption is kind of the kino version of that to me. it taps into the tropes of madoka itself without relying on too many externalities. however you wont find it on ao3 haha. There are some other non crossover madoka fics that explore stuff but for the most part I find a lot of them to have worse problems. Resonance days for example has a very interesting world, is longer than as n approaches infinity, invokes that half witch stuff I like, and is a sandbox of opportunity. However the whole thing is made unbearable by donut steel nagisa (the fic predates the 3rd movie) who is a constant bitch and drag on the whole thing. the stuff we dabbed on mami for in this thread doesn't begin to approach the level of misplaced blame she throws at everyone and unlike mami she doesn't die in 3 episodes so you are looking at 800k words of her taking every negative plot twist and finding a way to make the fallout from it worse for the entire group. The main good thing I can say about it is that it really shows what a party without madoka looks like. Madoka would absolutely shut this shit down right away or at least try to.

That pre Rebellion Nagisa fic sounds fascinating. One of my favourite things about the communities that form around stories is how people will imagine untold details and characters and places that are only mentioned but we never get to see. I was reading some of the 2011 live reaction threads to the airing of Madoka Magica and it's genuinely a fascinating experience getting to see people theorize things that never became true. People thinking that Mami was going to be a twist villain (which wasn't entirely unfounded), people thought Homura was a version of Madoka from the future trying to change her own past. Crazy shit. Sometimes, despite the fact that I'm currently in a state where I want to read and look at the side material of this franchise, I really appreciate when stories have a bunch of details that are never explicitly explained. It leaves a lot of room for people to imagine what they like. It certainly seems to mystical and mysterious nature of Madoka has left a lot of room for all these fanfics you like at the very least.

yeah thats definately a factor in resonance days favor. however having such a negative character drag down characters you actually do care about for 800k strains me beyond my breaking point. this is one I wasnt even able to finish the full 800k before I just said fuck this and bailed. Theres a similar universe one called walprugisnights about a turned homura and madoka but I gather its supposed to be low stakes and thats not really what I want from an exploration of the two.
I was around for most of the meguca threads but didn't watch until people mentioned the time travel. I knew the thing was going to unmake me and pretty much did exactly what you said and laid around the house for a solid week. that said I was a grown adult at the time so ymmv on if it's more or less cringe. I did remember entirely missing out on season 1 the promised neverland and binge reading the archives. I really need to data horde a hard copy of these archives one day. some images which are broken forever could even be restored if people uploaded their old content that has the same hash ID

I don't think there's anything wrong at all with being affected emotionally by things like that. I'm an adult now, and even on my rewatch I still cried for Sayaka and the ending. It's interesting that time travel is the plot device that brought you in, I was spoiled on many aspects like Sayaka turning into a witch and Mami's death, but Homura was the one aspect I knew nothing about. Episode 10 was awesome for me because of that. I'll also just say, that while time travel stories are extremely easy to fuck up, there's something specific about groundhog day style looping that always makes for an excellent story. Maybe it's the fact that it's forced to be internally consistent while also expanding the writing opportunities in so many ways that lets the author explore so many possibilities. I always seem to like it.

Have you read Fargo? It's really strange and I didn't like the sequel part at all but it's got good atmosphere and the descriptions give the right abstract aesthetic sensation.
It's also the fic I've read that expands the canon universe with the most additions without adding in outside influences so the setting still feels pretty true to form even though it's widly different.
Basically it's post series magical girls in america but everything is gradually going to shit and the world is unravelling as Homura's illusion starts breaking down and the wraiths keep getting more and more uncontrollable.
>>
>>285628782
It's sort of frustrating that writing a Madoka fanfic that actually has Madoka herself as the main character is near impossibly difficult so she barely ever shows up in anything. Everyone else has lots of development in canon or else entire universes of side stories, but Madoka herself is mostly in the background, if she's there at all.
>>
>>285628881
Madoka's setting is really restrictive but the characters are very evocative and easy to write for. So simply by taking them out of their setting and putting them into a different one you drastically simplify the writing process and make it really easy to write plots.

I haven't been able to stomach the premise and I'm way too scared to unwrap this. to be honest The same could be said about even madoka centric post rebellion war fics. there was one where madoka did seem interesting where wraiths and witches both existed side by side. I thought that madoka was going to connect with grief seeds and gain the powers of the witches that way but it turns out she was just absorbing them for a generic grief based powerboost. not really for me. she also keeps eating/forgiving the clara dolls which makes a lot of sense emotionally but comes out of nowhere on a logical basis.
TL:DR why does everyone want to see this war happen so bad?

It doesn't even matter what type of fic it is since all of them tend to relegate Madoka to being a side character. Even with shipping shit and one shots, where you would expect Madoka to actually be important, tends to make Madoka a side character. It's honestly baffling how basically no one gives a shit about making Madoka be important
>>
>>285629823
It's mostly centered around entirely american characters and their trials and tribulations, it only really gets into madoka/homura incidentally and mostly at the end.
The central premise is that the whole wraith system is fundamentally flawed and in many ways perhaps even worse than the witches were, with large enough masses of despair starting to form barriers on their own large enough to swallow entire cities.
I just really like the descriptions of the barriers and magical combat, and the characters have their own interesting emotional cores that drive them.
Plus the world building about how major cities with tens of millions of people produce such massive levels of phantoms that they're either abandoned or have to be managed by hundreds of magical girls drafted from neighboring regions and formed into paramilitary squads and how this leads to a sort of defacto magical girl government large enough to start requiring corporate structure.

of course not. but lets be real here; the fact we never see her family, and the fact she was so depressed all the time prior meeting madoka, implies she never saw them very often.

sure, you could argue that they were paying for her medical treatment and all. but i would still have my doubts.

>Was there ever any evidence for this?
Iirc in one of the games Homura off headedly mentions the fact she has a mother when someone asks about it and then never brings it up again. This is the only time she has ever mentioned having any form of family is anything Madoka related.
I still think it's more likely she's just a orphan that was raised in a mission

Isn't Sayaka pretty much the same? Hell Madoka seems like the only one with any real parental presence in her life.
I don't recall ever seeing her family until her funeral although you see her room and apartment a bit. She was missing for so long that her body wasted away from lack of nutrition and she also mentions being lower middle class in the first ep, whereas everyone else at their middle-school seems fairly wealthy (by the level of coursework I assumed it was some private school).
>homura has a western house in the city
>madoka lives in a hyper-modern house
>mami has a swanky apartment and refined air about her
>hitomi is an ojou-sama
Her teacher's even upset that the police aren't investigating her death, so I got the impression of her having a fairly absent family (due to work or some such) that she couldn't confide in unlike Madoka who has some pretty long conversations with her mom.
And unrelated but a lot of Mitakihara itself has this oppressive feeling to it. Made me really want to play Mirrors Edge again.
>>285640516
When she tries to kill Sayaka, Kyouko grabs her and realizes whatever her power is it can't work if she's being touched.
>>
>>285640898
Sayaka's mother has a speaking line but she isn't onscreen. Homura only ever mentions Catholic school, so she's interpreted to be an orphan.
>>
>>285640898
>Isn't Sayaka pretty much the same?
For Sayaka we can assume that at least one of her parents is in the picture because Madoka talks to one of them over the intercom to their condo in episode 8 and, like you said, someone is around to handle the funeral arrangements in episode 11. Homu has nothing and no one, as far as we know

Madoka definately attempts that cool candor even in timelines where her self esteem is rock bottom, down to telling her mom basically "wake the fuck up" every morning and high fiving her instead of getting a kiss. You are meant to realize madoka is struggling with the fact that: she respects her mother, but her mother gets destroyed by alcohol basically every night after her job. the fact that she can do almost nothing to change this is part of her character wound.

It's actually kind of fascinating how all the girls except Madoka give quite literally nothing to go on in regards to their families. Sayaka especially since it's clear her family does exist and she lives with them, unlike Homura where things are very vague. I feel like a lot of that is to help show that Madoka really does have a kind of perfect life where she is completely free from desires since she's in a world where she's both loved and very loving. Then she goes through one month of suffering and whoops she's ascended to bodhisattva/messiah status and takes on the sins of megucakind and delivers them from evil.

She wasn't free from desires though, she felt directionless and void of purpose, she wanted to be able to do something meaningful with her life. Maybe she oughtn't to have had desires given how good her life was up until that point, but then she wouldn't be human.

being loved but watching others suffer being unable to take on their burdens is madokas wound, so in a sense this is a torturous environment for her and lead directly to her low self esteem. the hell of it for her is that she can't be upset, she has no reason to be wrathful. she's increadibly fortunate.

Sayaka also calls herself privileged on the roof so I have to wonder if she's really poor.

Sayaka isn't poor, she's working class at worst. It's not like her apartment is a shithole.
>>
>>285643457
It's definitely not the same sort of want as more wordly desires though. And even then the whole reason she wants this purpose and the ability to take action in the situation she's in is because she's being pushed away as hard as possible from having any agency until the very end. She does develop one small want after becoming Madokami which kind of screwed things up later, in that she didn't want to be totally forgotten and let Homura remember her. Then Mara came and dragged buddha from transcendence.
>>285644113
You can see that in past timelines Madoka seems to have much higher self esteem, despite how horrible her life becomes as a meguca.
I think Sayaka speaks of privilege not in terms pf wealth in that scene but in terms of capability. She's able bodied and alive but what does that matter when there are people who were capable of doing greater things then her who are now either crippled or dead. She feels that she's being wasteful for not giving herself into something which is why when she initially saves Madoka and Hitomi after making her choice she feels really really good. She's actually pretty similar to Madoka in that she wants purpose on top of wanting to be loved. It's also the only thing she has left to cling to as everything starts to fall apart around her in the end which is why she starts acting so self righteous.

There's a few Yurifags here but no one actually gives a shit if any element of Yuri is "canon" or not (besides mayybe the Apple Simp, and he's a bigger faggot than TB so who cares what he thinks). I'd enjoy if Madoka and Homura kissed in Kaiten but I'm also fully aware that for that to happen Homura's love would need to be retconned from being vaguely broad and all encompassing to actually romantic. Which is very unlikely to happen since only 1 member of the Magica Quartet likes that ship and it isn't Urobuchi.

>For example, it would’ve felt wrong if Sayaka had moved on to a completely new love interest. That wouldn’t have worked (laughs). I knew it wasn’t a series where we could make such bold changes.
>Shinbo: But that kind of story for Sayaka is interesting (laughs).
>Urobuchi: A new love, only to turn into a witch again? (laughs).
>Shinbo: Right, she’d end up repeating the same thing over and over.
>Urobuchi: She’d fall in love every time a handsome guy appeared, and then turn into a witch…

>―Homura's line, "It's love", also caused a strong reaction, but thinking about it that way, it feels even deeper, doesn't it?.
>Urobuchi: Well, you see, the reason I brought up the word "love" was because I was kind of thinking, "When it comes to a power that can even defeat aliens, nothing else fits, right?" (laughs).
>Shinbo: However, one thing I want to mention is that, in my opinion, that love feels like it might be "fraternal love" (philia).
>―Broader than romantic love.
>Urobuchi: Romantic love, even when it gets all complicated, stops at Sayaka-chan's level (laughs).
>Shinbo: (laughs). That's why I see it as fraternal love, not romantic love (eros). I think that what Homura directs towards Madoka is a broader kind of love.

She never said she wanted love letters from boys, she was envious of Hitomi for getting so many love letters. She was expressing jealousy over how popular Hitomi is. Even all that, getting love letters from boys doesn't mean she wants to date them.

Damn even after 12 years of it being an ongoing? I guess if the only joke it ever makes is "Haha Mami's a spinster" that could certainly get old fast. It's interesting that the most popular spin off, at least with the nips is a Mami centred one, even if it's at her expense. I've actually really grown to appreciate Mami more with my rewatches so I'm glad she get's love from fans, even if that doesn't translate into in universe love lmao.

You can however blame him for being mind broken by some random twitter user and thinking everyone is him to the point of shitting up the threads 24/7 hoping to interact with his twitterfag crush, and for doing literally nothing but that in these threads. He doesn't even like Madoka, he's just here to spam and shit up the threads, because apparently that's the only way an atheist can make his life look fulfilling, by ruining things for everyone else.

Because they are popular, because the people have bad tastes.

The Mami manga sold well by Madoka spinoff standards and is popular in the japanese community.

She would overshadow Sayaka by being much better.
I'm not sure I could love them both equally. Now of course if Sayaka wants to join and Kyouko allows it I won't oppose it. But Kyouko will always be my true wife.

I'm certain that once Kaiten comes out thread quality will go up. I've noticed that the best way to curb shitposting will always be to just engage in genuine discussion about what you like. Even shitposters can be made more chill if you can get them to yap about what they actually like instead of spamming one sentence complaints about other posters.

It's hard because I know the S;G shitposter's real motive is to make the threads worse, make no mistake the spam is not an accident, it is being done maliciously.
But you're right that the last few threads have been way better because of genuine posts from you and others. So thanks for that.

I won't pretend to understand the thread lore on this so called S;G poster, but I will say that even it's just one or two guys that specifically want to make things worse, enough people being real will just kind of just drown it out anyway. It's easy to forget sometimes, but just because someones being a nuisance doesn't mean you have to have a bad time. Hanging out in this threads been comfy the past week or so despite everything.

Is not in Exedra yet, is says something. The fact that Exedra adapted Wraith Arc, Scene 0 and Oriko Sadness prayer and a extension of it(that actually dont advance or say much) say that those are more important imo. Even some CD dramas are in Exedra.
TDS and Mami manga despite being "popular" are being ignored.

It's not really suited for a game like Exedra because it's not combat-focused like most spinoffs are. But magireco has at least one card for it.
TDS was one of the first stories adapted, it just didn't go beyond the prequel part.

No, it was CD drama 3. CD drama 3, volume 1 of TDS is what makes it shine.
Anything new that brought TDS

Not a reason to not stay in Exedra. There are events like the last one and that of Madoka and Eroha playing a game , i forgot the name. Those don't have fight with witches or other things.
>>
>>285666404
The event was called TDS though.
>Not a reason to not stay in Exedra
It kind of is. Magical girls are barely mentioned in that story, and the characters are aged up for what is predominantly a loli game. They would need to make aged up models for all the characters. I can understand why it wouldn't be in a game like this despite its popularity, it's not that surprising when it's so far away from the general spirit of the game.
