At this point I’d rather authors just lean into it and make it overtly a fetish thing. I still won’t read it, but I can respect that more than any amount of “okay so she’s technically a slave but it’s fine because actually” prevaricating. Just be honest that you want a catgirl or whatever who has to obey you and quit lying to yourself

I saw that they're making a new Madoka Magicka movie but I feel like the enthusiasm for that series dropped off hard after the first real movie and that one sequel (?) anime they put out. Honestly, I rewatched the original like last year and it doesn't hold up very well. Part of it is that it was way more exciting when it was airing episode by episode and nobody knew what would happen next, but it has so many scenes where the characters do nothing but say exposition about the same stuff we already know about; "Madoka would you make a wish if it would be hosed up and bad?" "I dunno, I guess we'll do this routine for 10 more episodes."

Ive tried to watch the original show like six times and every time I just get bored with it by episode 2 Maybe it's one of those shows that broke new ground but other stuff has done it better with the benefit of hindsight, like citizen kain or bladerunner

No, that's Magical Girl Raising Project. Madoka is "what if magical girls lived in our reality and not one where being 'evil' meant sending bumbling fools to a tiny town to somehow take over the world." I imagine it's pretty much incomprehensible to people who aren't familiar with magical girl tropes. Sort of like "inside baseball."

KomradeX posted:I never saw the appeal of "What if Magical Girls, but hosed up and gritty". Turns out that if your staff are good enough at their jobs, you can get a very stylish show with some compelling human drama out of the formula. It's basically just a classic fairytale horror story, and that's an ancient and popular genre for a reason.

Madoka is Gen Urobochi declaring that women wanting things is a crime worth condemning them to death for and that lesbians are literally satan.

Whoops, MGRP was probably going a bit hard for C-SPAM. Gripweed posted:I do not think the world of Madoka is very similar to our world at all. Sorry, not "our world," but on the continuum of Sailor Moon ------> reality I'd put Madoka somewhere around the middle.

I think the only other Urobuchi works I've experienced are Psycho Pass (I can barely remember what the gently caress happened in that poo poo) and Thunderbolt Fantasy, which has a good first and third season but the second season does the same poo poo I hated in Madoka where characters sit around expositing to each other in ways that don't present new information or advance the plot. There's so many scenes where that terrible monk character is talking about how he has basically no motivations and how maybe it'd be hosed up if he gained a bad motivation, and it really drags everything down.
