Fourth time… Why?
No matter what she did, Madoka still turns. She can’t bring herself to fight.
Fifth time… The end?
And so we have what might be our series. Homura has descended into obsession to the point where it doesn’t matter that Madoka is no longer the confident magical girl she loved, just so long as she doesn’t die or turn. All the pain, all her actions are being driven by that one impossible goal. So if she’s seemed detached and cold to Madoka… Gee I wonder why. And this is assuming that it is only five times. Imagine the possibility of it being 10 or 20 or god knows how many. Me, personally, I would have ended it any why I could find. Even if it meant giving my life to kill the current witch Madoka.
While there is a shit load more behind the words I’ve written, I believe that this is exactly why I have come to hold this series as one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. One of the biggest things with this is, it’s all the better to watch than it is to get described, because what has been done in visuals, pacing, characters, script and execution make up for what small amount of missteps it’s had along the way.
What is to come, when it comes, I welcome and hope that whatever the end becomes, it is done in the same great fashion as the rest before it.
