Puella Magi Madoka Magica

[Yuki88]

Haha, I dunno. I just have bad feeling about him because he's so pushy about turning Madoka (and Sayaka) into Mahou Shoujo.

 

[ninetales]

Finally sitting down to watch the whole episode

Oh, I love Magia Can't wait for the whole song to come out. I'm going to play it nonstop on the piano!

And on to the episode! Nice peaceful guitar. Hmm, did anyone see the painting change when her mother left? More peaceful guitar, and flute.

Adobe Flash Plugin crashed, like it's been doing lately Have to start over.

Okay, back to where I was. Love the teacher Oh, here's a beautiful music box-style theme! And now another that sounds like bells...and a Celtic flute theme! I love it

Ooh, I like the piano. It sounds very rich, like it's in a huge concert hall.

Hey, I caught a snippet of dialogue! "Doko ni iru no?" Mysterious theme...oh, and it's picking up now...

Okay, what's with the mustachioed cotton balls?

Oh, it sounds like Yuri Kasahara or Eri Ito singing here! Love the theme...

Well, this was okay. I think I'll like the OST more than the show

^ actually the BGM on henshin was soooo Hanae Tomaru
not sure about the wailing one before the henshin scene, though. Kinda like KEIKO for some unknown reason to me

[alarictay]

Sorry, I missread Yuki88's post..

I wish Keiko was for the Henshin theme and Battle theme

Another funny pic, about how the series might have neded before really beginning.

Ooh, I like the piano. It sounds very rich, like it's in a huge concert hall.

I almost missed the piano. The melody is elegant and sounds like something to play in a salon. Although I wonder where that CM piano track is. Will we hear it later, or was it exclusive to introductions?

Dunno about Keiko, I'd rather bet on Yuki.
Actually, I heard a similar voice in "Another Dimension" from PH OST. Did it get credited anywhere?

Nope.

 

[Kerahna]

lol nick

 

[Keiri]

A little too quick for a "The End" but hilarious nevertheless!

 

[Yuki88]

I actually have thought about that lol. Why a place signed "Entrance Prohibited" has no one guarding it?? That's kinda nonsense

 

[Nick Hunter]

Maybe Akemi dealt away with the guard earlier?
TVtropes (one of my fave sittes recently ) now has a page for the series, too. I especially liked the description for the series as

Sayonara Nanoha Sketch Shooter HiME

 

[Yuki88]

There is also one thing I'm curious what it means: CHAINS. As Homura and Mami appeared (in their mahou shoujo scene) there were always appearance of chains before them. I wonder if that means something...

 

[Nick Hunter]

A puella magi contract?
Although the illusion (presumably a witch's doing) featured even more chains...
Btw, am I the only one whom the mentioned witches and their assumed modus operandi (invoking pure visual SHAFTness madness) make think of parallels with Soul Eater?

Re:

I hope it'll be played later...I really liked it

 

[Lorde-Kowz]

I was checking Yuki's entry from TVTropes and it says some stuff that i'm not sure they're true:
-She was for a time an impresario for the innovative pop group ALI Project, and brought them into the Noir production.
-She has a hand in picking out what her performers wear for videos and concerts
-# Les Yay (with Chiaki Ishikawa, Yuuka Nanri, Emily Bindiger, Keiko Kubota...) lolwut

ROFLMAO

Let's see whether they'll cram those tropes in there. It'll be interesting if they do!

Ooh... Those are very enticing extras! Makes me wanna set aside some dough for it!

Huh? It didn't seem to be there when I last read it.

I had a major sweatdrop at this, too. I'm not against such things, but seriously, it's not some anime characters that you can go around shipping freely.

Madoka Magica DVD and Bluray preorder??

According to AS, they also plan to include some "original ED", probably Madoka's theme.
Somehow I don't hope it will be written by Yuki, though.

For now, moar scans from AS:

Hmm...I won't be getting any merchandise from this one except maybe the OST. This whole thing reeks of loli overdose.
