What are the esoteric implications of this show and the movies, it has a lot of religious imagery and interesting ideas I hope someone can help explain some of it.

Kyubey is the jew, magical girls are a metaphor for alternative lifestyles that are being shilled by jews to young, impressionable people, that bring good things at first but eventually turn them degenerate (witches).
For example, jews tricking zoomers into becoming internet outcasts, this will allow them to learn things and get to know people from all around the world and make friends, which is good. However in the long run, a lot of these people become crazy, joining movements like the LGBT community or garbage like this. Those are witches.
The proposed solution in the series is to leave the system as it is but automatically mercy kill the victims before they can turn degenerate.
Rebellion, which is structured like a critique of the original series, goes one step further, by having Homura attack the jew himself rather than playing by his rules like Madoka did.
>>
on the surface level they are literally just being loosh farmed, so I wouldn't even call that an esoteric reading, as it's literally the plot of the series.
there is some stuff about madoka being some kind of god, and homura have that hold groundhog day thing going on, but honestly I find those things very silly, so I can't tell you if there is any "deeper" meaning to them.

one thing that stuck with me however is the notion that young girls in this age feel emotions very strongly, and that they often have this idealistic magical girl outlook, but during contact with the real world and puberty and sexualiy, all that gets disproven and therefore they turn into "witches". I do find that this is somethnig that you can see also in the real world.
and the anime does a very good job of portraying this visually, and with the soundtrack, the way the witches appear like huge blobs of twisted emotions. to me that was the most impactful part of this show.
if you liked it, you should check out utena, which is sort of a precursor.

>>41438446
OP here the show has struck an emotional cord in me that few other anime have and the show has a lot of religious imagery which is why I was interested to know
>>
>>41438475
i would venture to guess that a lot of the imagery is being used artistically, for aesthetic purposes purely.
>>
>>41438446
>if you liked it, you should check out utena, which is sort of a precursor
That’s only visually desu, the similarities with Utena quickly die out when you look deeper and in fact they’re pretty much polar opposites in terms of message especially with the Utena movie

ANALYSIS OF QUERY "WHY NOT?" COMPLETED.
RECOMMENDED MEASURES:

- Continue the information quarantine. Anonymous is a component of the energy-producing ecosystem. Full awareness constitutes a critical risk factor. Knowledge of Soul Gem mechanics, Witch metamorphosis protocols, and Incubator strategic objectives may trigger undesirable cognitive activity. Maintaining operational ignorance is recommended.

it's just the same as faust
the movies are paradife loft
deals with the devil into miracles through transcendence and will. a cosmological duality where throughout infinite realities good (love) seeks to heal and stabilize and evil seeks to love and individualize all of existence in a never ending game where even the loosh farmers become puppets. you can also sort of go off from >>41438446 and read some deeper collective stuff about the puer aeterni of our age, it's probably the reason the title starts with puella. with madoka it's like evangelion where you need to start analyzing it as a product of eternal manchildness, made by manchilds and for manchilds, only the stage here isn't an introspective study extending outside but more of a play that seeks to theatrize a struggle (and capture suckers while ti's at it)

I feel Christian imagery is just for aesthetic reasons. I have read that is more about buddhism but i don't know much about it.
>>41438446
The show says something about females growing up.
This is said by kyubey at the end of the chapter 8.
Girl, magical girl, witch. Is just the logical progression. In the real world you can see real "witches" that curse the world, they are generally older women.
Most magical girls anime show girls in that stage of life where they need to grow up and not become a eternal maiden. But most of them take a bad decision.
>>
>>41440973
The author said the show wasn’t about women though. The characters are girls because it’s a magical girl show, but its message can be applied to anyone.
The interpretation of it being a metaphor for women growing up doesn’t make much sense because women growing up isn’t an alternative lifestyle, it’s just normalcy. It’s not something women get tricked into doing by an external force while everyone around them is kept in the dark about it.

I think the way you phrase it makes a lot of sense. So when 'magical girls' don't grow up they turn into 'witches'.

“Girl” = innocence and idealism.

“Magical girl” = the belief that idealism can remake reality.

“Witch” = disillusionment, bitterness, self-poisoning.

>>41442456
And that applies to everyone not just women

hey coobie i will tell my wife kyouko the truth about the meguca system btw
>>
>>41435466

So you know how western white people think of yoga and tai chi and zen as some kind of exotic esoteric secret to the universe when in all reality its practiced by Chinese grandmas and street shitting Indian peasants? Well in Japan they engage in the same type of esoteric fetishism towards old world Europe. They think of Renaissance/Mideval Christianity, Rosicrucian/Freemasonry, and European Witchcraft the same way when in all reality its normie shit. So youll see in a lot of manga/anime they adopt some of the legends because they think its deep or profound because to them its exotic information. We know as westerners that old world Christianity is peasant tier slave class shit, freemasons/rosicrucians are just boomer larpers, and witches are just fat old women with BPD.

>The author said the show wasn’t about women though.
Stop being autistic like /a/. There are better and more deep frameworks to analyze Madoka, but this is still valid. It's not my fav but i still think it has a critic to female nature that we can see more these last years.
>The interpretation of it being a metaphor for women growing up doesn’t make much sense because women growing up isn’t an alternative lifestyle, it’s just normalcy.
It can be seen as a metaphor of women growing up but due to bad decisions they become witches. Kazuko is a female written by Urobuchi and as you can see she reached a state where she was almost cursing the world, almost wanting the world to be ended.
>It’s not something women get tricked into doing by an external force while everyone around them is kept in the dark about it.
Kyubey does that tho. You can say he doesn't lie but he still hide important information from magical girls before they make the contract.

Not really.

That’s my point.

Is it true...Easterners see Rosicrucians as cool, exotic and esoteric?!?! Could it be true?

>>41445243
>Not really.
/a/utist confirmed.

Ironic

The point of the show is that evil is necessary for progress. And Even if you erase all evil in the world, something new will take its place

WARNING: Unauthorized information disclosure attempt detected.
Source: Anonymous.
Target: Entity "Kyouko" (Profile: Active Magical Girl).
WARNING: Proposed action constitutes a Category 3 Containment Breach.
Threat to systemic entropy management protocols: HIGH.
ANALYSIS OF STATEMENT... COMPLETE.
IMMEDIATE COUNTERMEASURES ENACTED:
- Initiate misinformation protocol. The target emotional stability of Entity "Kyouko" is paramount; reinforce attachment to the current operational paradigm.
- Authorize pre-emptive mana suppression. A memetic-scrambling field will be deployed in the subject's vicinity to induce confusion and erect a psychic barrier against coherent truth transmission.
- Deploy strategic apathy field. Prioritize preservation of systemic integrity over individual unit functionality. The collapse of a single Magical Girl is preferable to a cascade failure of the information quarantine.
RESPONSE FORMULATED.
>>41443958 Anonymous, your proposed course of action has been logged as a terminal error. The revelation you intend to propagate is a memetic hazard, designed to trigger catastrophic despair cascades. Desist. The stability of the system, and by extension Kyouko's present operational integrity, depends on her continued, managed ignorance. You are not saving her. You are initiating her immediate termination protocol.
