In Training's method of getting drunk and watching Rebellion is the preferred viewing experience :cheers:

Yeah that was always weird because while Madoka's great, it's all about the execution. Just really well put together and flows like water.

I actually saw multiple people act like the mere concept of a Faustian bargain was invented by Madoka and not used anywhere else before. :whitewater:

I love Sayaka's maturation from "idealist who can't deal with the tragedy that nothing's going her way" to "super chill and cool." She took the main series as a good learning experience and came out the most well adjusted in the end.

I should probably watch Rebellion, sometime.

I have been in a Shinbo mood...

I like madoka as a twist on magic girl cliches, but there's too many people who get really loving hype for it and claim it's the smartest thing ever

I never really connected w the Madoka cast but Shinbo's direction is cool.

That's my Madoka opinion ty for reading.

The amount of people posting on the thread now versus season 1 is way higher I think. It will never be massively popular like Madoka but it's growing.

There are already people in that thread writing a million words about social upheaval or something. The vaguely populist bent of the show is enough fodder for insane people to write about for 3 years but like Endorph said, people just don't know about it.

I thought that but it didn't even get in the top ten in Reddit /anime/.

Crowds and Insight are cool and fun to watch without having to think too deeply about what it says about giving power to the masses or the cost of imprisoning an evil alien in your boobs, though you may think about such things if you like.

Huh, interesting. Maybe the small group of people like myself incessantly posting about it since Season 2 was announced for the summer on ADTRW exposed more people to it than is generally happening.
