So they updated with the cover for the 2nd DVD BD

http://www.amazon.co.jp/魔法少女まどか☆マギカ...A7Q0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1298900901&sr=8-1

At the bottom of the cover it says in english
She will not know yet if this encounter is a mare coincidense or a necessity, which would be, an encounter that would change her destiny.

:ayashii:

do they refer to Madoka & Mami or to some other combo ? :ayashii:
also they wrote this in english in order to later release it in US or just to show off because english are considered "cool" in Japan ? :ayashii:
 
Lol I actually went and checked if it was spelled wrong, but it isn't. :XD:
 
Late to the party but I just watched both episode 7 and 8... I seriously have no words. This series... it's so epic. :touched:

Sayaka's descent into self destructive despair was carried out a lot better than expected. It was quite beautiful actually (I know I sound effed up right now lol), she was actually interesting for a couple of episodes and made me feel something when the final nail in the coffin screwed itself in. Not really sympathy but a heaviness that I haven't gotten out of an anime series in a long time. I could feel her apathy and hopelessness and could actually understand it. That being said, I kinda hope she is 'lost' for good because I just find it so cheap when a series strain the audience so emotionally like that-- just to bring the character back and ta da! Everything's happy and good again. Even for characters I really care about, it's a hollow resolution for me.

(Btw, I'm 99% certain that Hitomi lied about having feelings for whatshisname to get Sayaka to confess and was actually telling him about how great Sayaka is. But of course, Sayaka was too far away and caught up in her despair to hear them. Hence, the muted conversation. If that's the case and Madoka finds out... should be veerrrry interesting. :plot: )

So it seems like this series has gotten into a pattern of at least one WTF?!!! moment per episode. 6 had the reveal of Puella Magi being basically Ghosts outside their Shell ( :ohoho:), 7 had Sayaka going Micheal Myers on that poor Witch, and 8 had Witches actually being former PM's and of course, Kyubey eating Kyubey Swiss cheese. :XD: :uh..:

Like seriously, Kyubey creeps me da fuck out now. :omg: :omg: :omg: :omg:

Having no feelings or affection for humans I could deal with but now he has multiple bodies (that he EATS to dispose of) and possibly is some kind of demon that turns little girls into Witches (which he also has them KILL to get stronger) called "Incubator" (which I'm now realizing is where he gets his alias from: Cubey/Kyubey= Incubator). With a name like that, I suspect that cute little body isn't his true form but just a guise. Afterall, what young grade school girl would mistrust something that cute and cuddly? Plus, gotta love the way Homura referred to him as an "it", it's a small thing but telling. Perhaps, he's not the main "trigger" in the PM world at all but just a recruiter apart of something larger? If that's the case, we might can expect another season or a sequel. :ayashii:

I really find the PM basically being young Witches angle to be very intriguing. I have a theory that these Witches that the PM have to fight are basically weak PM's with little talent (like Sayaka) who through lack of Grief Seeds and/or utter despair had their Soul Gems darkened and need to be taken care of. Kind of a survival of the fittest type thing: The Grief Seeds provide power for the PM's Soul Gems because they're basically absorbing power from former PM's. It doesn't really explain much but that's what I think.

And so my dear Homura remains the mystery girl. :orz: At least, more of her powers have been revealed and she has something to do with a different timeline but I want mooooaarrrr. Oh well, these two episodes belonged to Sayaka so the final 4 should be left to the Homura/Madoka connection. I just hope it was worth waiting until the last episodes for. Like seriously, I WILL be pissed if they half-ass it. I wanna be mindfucked or at least, shocked. Even with all the twists and turns so far, this can easily fall into the cliche for the conclusion. How the situation with Sayaka turning into a Witch, the night of Walpurgis, and Homura's connection to Madoka are resolved will really be the deciding factor to me if this series is really a game changer in the Mahou Shojo genre or if it is just a quirky show. Either way, if this makes it overseas it will most definitely be on my to-buy list.

Nick Hunter said:
The Homura/Madoka line development is pretty expectable, although it basically leaves even fewer chances for Kyouko. So basically, the major points I'm concerned about while waiting for Friday are:
- will Kyouko survive at least this episode?
- what will become of Sayaka?

For me, what I concern the most in next Friday is my midterm exam the first one in your quote..lol.

As for the google thing...
Google Trends is now showing the top search in Japan as being the English word “incubator.”

It seems that our beloved Kyubey became so popular... :knife:

Also...the last pic in that link.

Are there anyone had the same reaction..? :XD:
 
There better be a GLORIOUS BGM for when Madoka finally transforms into a magical girl.

Given the context, it might be an OMINOUS one. :ohoho: on the other hand... :ayashii:
Personally, I place my bets to hear something epic for Walpurghisnagcht. :stars:

@Chanson Princesse: Hitomi's real intentions and the contents of her conversation with Kyousuke depend entirely on which way Urobuchi decides to mess with Sayaka's fate. Although if our oblivious prodigy DOES end up with Hitomi, Kyouko might be tempted to break all his limbs for real... :ghost:

We have yet to see if
Puellae Magi are the only sourse for witches
. But if they ARE... oh, what I wouldn't give for Charlotte's backstory... :ayashii: :plot:

Are there anyone had the same reaction..?

Mine was mild shock: "oh boy... now WHAT?" I thought it was another UTTERLY unexpected twist. The real twist of the situation was... a bit more expected, but powerful enough.
This will sound cruel, but if Homerun really wanted to screw Kyuubey's plans, she should have aimed more to the left. :knife: While we all here would stare in shock, maybe some people would find this development non-standard enough to their liking. :ohoho: pure sarcasm, of course - I care for Madoka, but like I said earlier, I was sweatdropping at the disappointment of some people at AS who marked the series as predictable after one of the WMG loads had hit the bull's eye. :desksweat:

btw, want to know how to deal away with QB for real? Read this fanfic - my current fave in the whole PMMM section there. :XD:

EDIT: Puella Wiki hosts an exerpt from Newtype's interview with Aoi Yuuki (Madoka) and Chiwa Saito (Homura)

NewType: As a last question, please say something to Kyubey.
Yūki: I want to know what you're thinking.
Saitō: Please never come to me.
NewType: That's cruel! Kyubey looks so cute (laughs).
Yūki: In the recording room, everyone was excited when Kyubey appeared on the screen. At first Katō Emiri-san (Kyubey's VA) defended him, but recently she started saying Kyubey is scary.
Saitō: Kyubey is always in an interesting position.
Yūki: Kyubey is the most mysterious character. Please pay attention to him.

You'd better reconsider your way, Kyuube, now that even your voice acress is afraid of you. :ohoho:
I wonder if Kyuubey's first appearance in the recording room might have brought up the reaction Kagaribi quoted. :XD:

EDIT2: regarding what I'v esaid about Kyouko and Kamijou... Someone has the same opinion :ohoho:
Also, some Homerun-chan cosplay. :dote: Not Sankaku either. :XD:

EDIT3 (lol): yet another fan creation to make you laugh and sweatdrop at the same time :XD:
 
Another flash game. Basically a whac-a-mole clone, where Homura goes about stomping Kyuubeys (don't tell me this appeared AFTER episode 8 :XD: ). What I as a console fan found amusing is that Homura's sprite is pixelated, and the soundtrack is a 8-bit rendition of Magia. :ayashii: :XD:
 
Indeed, that should be the best of what I've seen so far. :goodjob: Now if it had some BGM, too... :shy: Yes, I want moar Yuki Kajiura in 8 bit. :ohoho:
Speaking about music, does anyone care to check this archive from Puella Wiki? I won't have time to get it today, but I'm really curious about the contents. If there are some decent rips... :stars:
 
^ :stars: downloading to check

[EDIT] :uh..: Its nothing worthy, it has only Magia and Connect single and various fanmade remixes and covers of the two songs.
 
lol about to post that :XD:

they did a rip of this, but none of Yuki's BGM tracks? :stupidbox:
talk about... (politically correct mode ON :ohoho: ) eccentric people.
Thanks for checking, guys, or I'd spend half a day downloading 150 Mb of fandubs... :white:
 
Went to school, and my friend's friend briefed me on the storyline of 'Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica'. It seemed better than I thought, so I watched the episodes and catched up.
Now I have decided to see the whole series :dote:

The story turned out as I expected. Kyube being the (somehow) bad guy, Homura being the good one, etc...










And here's a present for those who know who this is :ohoho: :

I think I'm crazy, Photoshopping at dawn because of this stupid thing.. :ohoho:

*me runs away*
 
^ you mean, you're already a magical girl with your soul out and packed? :omg: :vortex: Alphiiiieee :comeback:

HIS MASK, really, that's a NUCLEAR pic. :omg: :XD:

Kyube being the (somehow) bad guy, Homura being the good one, etc...
Click to expand...

and both being information-concealing meanies. :knife: :ohoho:
Besides, I'm cautious to make any bets on Homura's alignment until we get her full backstory. :plot:
Boy, today is Day X. :white: The fates of my BOTH faves in the show are likely to be decided in this episode :hide: :TdT:
 
I'm torn between listening to Kajiura's FICTION radio show or watching Madoka Magica... why must they be aired on the same time? :orz:
 
^ Why do you have to watch Madoka while it airs when you can watch its raw 1 hour later ? :XD: Fiction is obviously the best choice (especially since they wont have the songs in the web version)
