Actually Mami's wish was probably "I want to live, also make me have tits the size of my head at age 14" so maybe she's not so bad at it after all.

I want the sequel to be Homura meeting someone to fall in love with, then going back to her basement, releasing the shackles on madoka and going "to be honest, it was just a teenage crush taken to insane extremes".

I would be hella down for this

In Madoka's defense, the wish was only a means to an end. The first time I watched the show I was expecting her to just wish to become a magical girl. Can't gently caress that up.

Sayaka got increased healing powers after her healing wish, I wonder what extra powers a cake wish would have granted.

The impression I got is that becoming a magical girl doesn't actually fulfill your wish, it just gives you the magic you need to fulfill it your own drat self. So Kyubey would probably just toss her a cookbook and call it a day.

I wanna know Bowmura's history. Why did she become a magical girl without a Dokes? Or is her past just a temporal anomaly because 'causality'?

Wraith Arc should go into this, as the first chapter features Sayaka still alive. Homura herself seems to consciously appear within her own body and holding the ribbons, it possibly suggests that there was a new world Homura that was overwritten by the series Homura. She didn't just appear there, new world Homura was working as a team with Sayaka, Mami, and Kyouko.

One fan theory I've seen is that the version of her in that timeline originally wished for her heart condition to be cured. It makes about as much sense as any other explanation, anyway.

I think you've all been very mean to Lord Justice over the past few days. He just wants Madoka to get the same respect any pure and beautiful work of art deserves

In fact, I've been working closely with him to put together the definitive Rebellion masterwork edition, as it was intended to be from the start. I've rendered out a few sample cuts so you can get a feel for what our vision is really about

I think you guys are all being a little unnecessarily unfair about Lord Justice's posts. I think they're pretty chill. Keep doin' what you're doin', LJ.
That said, I feel that Namtab's posts create a beautiful dichotomy in the thread:

Lord Justice posted:

We have two concepts of greater beings within Madoka. First, that of the Magical Woman, defined as a person who moves past the issues inherent to their wish fullfillment and, essentially, grows up into a better person. I.E,: "We were once bringers of hope, who despaired and spread our curses. Now we are those guided by the Law of Cycles to break free from the chains of destiny binding this world." Sayaka has moved past her issues with Kyousuke and her idealism, Nagisa has moved past whatever her issues were as a Magical Girl.

The other form is a Demon, one who falls completely into wish fulfillment, idealism, and their own desire. Kimi no Gin no Niwa: "She was lost on her way, and yet is always the first one home. Finding someplace warm and light is more important the the truth. The gate to adulthood is firmly closed to them. Little children sing with innocent voices, what will they hide, what will they destroy? Dreams lie in their hands, the lies and grief of tender beings lie hidden there."

This describes Madoka and her solution exactly. It is predicated on the ideal that Magical Girls as a concept are good and should exist, when they categorically are not. Look at my example for Sayaka again, how is any of that a good thing? Why is Madoka endorsing the burning out and early death of thousands of teenage girls a good thing? Madoka herself has seen the results of the Magical Girl system, and chooses to ignore these issues, focusing on Witches alone. Her love for Magical Girls blinds her. This is what I mean by Godoka and Demon Homura being the same concept, both are created from wish fulfillment and idealism, a refusal to grow and to leave that child's room.

Kimi no Gin no Niwa again: "Slowly a door opens, beyond I see a fragile world. Will morning come, will night fall? A shy light flickers in. Let us play some more until we are called, and repeat our days like a flower reborn."

Namtab posted:

Kyouko is my fave

Remember the ep where she ate the food?

On a related note, if we do eventually get more Medukas, I want the story to have Sayaka as the central protag, with the story focusing on her deliberately going out of her way to piss off Homura and mess with her plans.
