Not every timeline. Remember the one where Sayaka turned into a witch when everyone was still alive? They all found out about the ultimate form of a magical girl, Mami turned out to be the least stable of the quintet, she went crazy and killed Kyoko, then she wanted to kill Homura too but, instead, was killed by Madoka.
I like how some people think Saiyaka's witch form is "Totally Random".. Octavia is a Mermaid Knight that uses a sword to conduct the Orchestra around her. Mermaid- Saiyaka could never be with the person she loves Knight- Saiyaka's whole magical design is Knight themed Sword- her weapon DUH Orchestra- the boy she loved is a musician And Octavia is in the center because she wants to be his Center of Attention.
@@KuroKat08 it works pretty well, but still felt pretty abstract imo, which on the other hand is kind of fitting seeing how witches are the remnants of a magical girl's feelings and hopes as they fell into despair
Oktavia can be simplified to being a tie to the original little mermaid , where the mermaid isnt able to get with the prince and turns into seafoam because of it.
I always thought it was pretty obvious, since even her magical girl state is very water and music themed through the whole show. Hell even her hair clip is the fortissimo symbol (ff which is forte forte, fortissimo meaning very loud) plus all the lines of music and note in her transformations. Also when she transforms she always surrounded by water drops and splashing sounds. I think how similar her witch form is to her transformations was part of the tragedy for me. Cause like... That's so clearly sayaka....
I like how the rebellion transformations use more distorted visuals otherwise seen in witches labyrinths to foreshadow upcoming events. Really nice. If that was intended.
That moment you decide to literally strip your friend of her godhood, denying them their status as a fundamental law of the universe, and literally rewriting/reweaving the very fabric of the local universes/tinelines, making them your sandbox, AND becoming the Satan to your friend's Godliness JUST to keep her happy and prevent her from being hurt, while simultaneously removing key elements of her free will/destiny SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU CAUGHT FEELINGS SINCE SHE WAS NICE TO YOU!
The funny thing is that out of all of them, Homura never actually got her wish granted. She wished to have the power to save Madoka, right? Well 100ish timelines go by and she fails outright in all of them. In the series proper, Madoka ascends to a higher plane and writes herself out of existence, which is a "fate worse than death," so she fails in the series proper too.Then in the movie, she tries to get herself killed to protect Madoka and Kami-Madoka and crew stop her. They save her rather than the other way around. Finally, she loses it and basically imprisons madoka in a world of her own making, which doesn't really count either since that's not what kami-madoka wanted. Poor Homura. All that suffering and she never actually gets her wish.
That's why I hate this series. She wished that she had the ability to save Madoka. She did not wish that Madoka would be saved, just like any normal, rational person would. No, like, why? I mean, what were the directors thinking? It came out of nowhere, that wish was essentially just stupid, and it's so freaking stupid it's inexcusable.
@Dusty I consider Madoka's ascension to Godhood being 'saved'. Homura's wish was a Monkey's Paw; while Madoka does not die nor succumbs to being a witch, Homura still loses Madoka by virtue of Madoka being God. That's why Homura's betrayal in Rebellion is utterly unforgivable. Homura doesn't really want to save Madoka, she wants to keep Madoka.
@NecroMelodia I mean she tried in some of those timelines... but unfortunately she can't save them without failing to save Madoka at the same time so she kinda gave up and focused on who she actually wished to be saved which was Madoka.
I really like all the transformations as they really match the personalities of each person. Graceful, beautiful Mami. Spunky, determined Kyoko. Bold, sweet Sayaka. Bubbly, bright Madoka. Calm, brooding Homura.
Fun fact. The reason Kyoko has a lot of hands in a bunch of her transfromations is because her wish "I want people to listen to my father" gave her the power of essentially Shadow Clones "followers" that do whatever she says. However she loses this power sometime before the main story that we know... It's a little cloudy how amoung the many sources.. also she gained a little bit of suggestion magic on non Magi girls also coming from her wish, and that's how I believe she gets away with living in a hotel and makes stealing so easy.. If I'm wrong or have more info on this pls correct me..
I think what you mean happened in "The Different Story" manga where it's another timeline where Mami and Kyoko used to be friends and that's where Kyoko lost her ability, and, although it may not be canon to the original anime, it's prob safe to assume that Kyoko lost her ability in the anime too before she was introduced
What I find kind of sad is that Madoka’s wish was never truly granted, even though she sacrificed herself. In the timeline in which she has erased herself and is the god of her world, it’s revealed that they don’t fight witches, they fight something else that I don’t remember, but it can still put their lives in danger. Wasn’t the point of madoka’s wish so that her friends- and every magical girl for that matter- are safe and never have to worry? And what’s more, even in other timelines and events that are presumed and confirmed to take place after madoka magica, they still have to fight monsters. Their lives are still in danger.
You're talking about wraiths, which is kinda the predecessor of witches. This shows how naive Madoka was. Her wish was to erase the existence of all witches only. And she actually got the wish, by becoming the law of the cycle and preventing any magical girl from becoming a witch in the first place. The wraiths are different though. They still exist.
Yeah... she basically put a sopping wet bandaid on the problem. The reason why a dark being has to be fought is because the Kyuubei want to stop entropy. I think that's the whole point of the show and part of the tragedy of it all. Because the main targets are preteen girls who (mostly) only think with their emotions solely to benefit themselves, they are incapable of seeing the bigger picture. Instead of Madoka saying, "This is happening because of entropy? Let me wish entropy didn't exist or wish there was a free and easy power supply", she got caught up in the "You're doing this to these poor girls! Let me stop that". The Kyuubei (unfortunately) were geniuses by deciding to use preteen girls!
I think the main point was to rid the world of the corrupting force of the Witches. It wasn't JUST that her friends were in danger or could die. It was the existential horror of realizing that one moment they could "fall into despair", totally corrupting everything about themselves, and hurting those they love. It's shown many times that becoming a witch is considered a fate worse than death itself. But the only only way to fight Witches is to use your magical powers... Which can corrupt you into a Witch. And the only way to heal that is by using a Witch's Grief Seed (basically their corrupted soul gems). So it just becomes a vicious cycle of magical girls becoming witches and then needing to defeat witches to stave off the existential horror barreling in their direction... It's horrifying. I personally think Madoka's wish was sound, it's just really weird how it didn't also get Homura? I know that could probably be down to how she worded it: "get rid of every witch that was born or will ever be born" which I guess leaves the loophole of "what if a witch was a witch but was never truly "born"...... But Homura DID become a witch eventually??? I just don't get it man.
Anime: You like this char? Welp shes gonna die Anime: You like her as well? She's gonna suffer then die Anime: She's also gonna suffer Anime: You ship these two? Welp let's just have a cute moment then kill off part of the ship.
This is what I was hoping the new sailor moon transformations would look like. So much energy, such beautiful choreography, top notch animation. Instead we got watered down versions of the 90s henshins. I was so disappointed I cried.
Jesmond Mifsud it's not Sailor Moon! Why is everyone saying that?! Sailor Moon was made by Toei Animation, and Madoka Magica was made by Shaft. Get it right!😡
@@pizzacutz1072 i wonder, is Bebe a witch form? does that make Nagisa have two witch forms? Bebe and Charlotte. also, i love how Sayaka can simply summon Oktavia instead of transforming, shes awesome
@@alamrasyidi4097I'm pretty sure Nagisa only has one witch form. Charlotte is the name of her witch, Bebe is a nickname given to her witch form in the "witchless" reality
@@HGml00 so...the massive serpentine clown is just the extended head of the tiny doll, both of which are Charlotte, nicknamed Bebe by the Holy Quintet? i kind of confuse them as different entities
Madoka Magica is awesome! Because - Short but great and beautiful transformations - Symbolism is used cleverly - FEELS - It is dark, which is why I like it, but it’s not super dark so I can still let myself watch it. - A character that actually uses realistic guns and bombs! (There are many more reasons why Homura is best girl, this is only one of them) - Great music - I feel embarrassed and a bit ashamed for being the only magical girl fan in my class other than my best friend but that’s only because I introduced her to Madoka Magica and she’s not really that big on magical girls. The weebs in my class are literally just full on shōnen including the girls! But I can’t bring myself to shame for being a MadoMagi fan, it’s too beautiful.
My god, Shaft!!! Damn, I've seen the show, not the movies yet, and I didn't remember there being any like transformation scenes like these, holy cow. Shinbo, you are on crack man.
+Marty Arararagi It's that awkward moment when you're deconstructing, parodying... *mocking* an entire genre... by do a better job at it than just anyone else has done before. Awkward for everyone else, that is.
It's just occurred to me that in Madokas transformation the other Madoka kisses her and grants her her magical girl abilities, it's literally all the previous incarnations giving her their power to grant this one final wish and save all her friends forever... Holy shit
I like how in a lot of these transformation you get hints of their witch form but not from madoka, and none of her timeline. She turns into a witch except for one and that was the culmination of all the despair she took upon herself in order for the magical girls to have true happiness. And even seeing the magical girls happy gave her enough strength to never succumb to despair and destroy her own which form. form.
Weird theory: what if Homura’s illness that she suffered from before the series began was actually cured because the only member of her family left to take care of her was a magical girl who used her wish to cure Homura only to turn into a witch soon after.
One of the main reasons I watched this show was because I saw videos of these witches and their labyrinths and found them so abstract. Definitely a very creative take on witches on these shows.
9:14 it was cool to use the string as the representation of the godhood that she stripped from madoka , because its shows that all the different timelines connected on her from the series and that they all for together into the god version
+Nol Glemsel I've come to a similar conclusion, though funnily enough, I usually swap which person is actually representing Homura; I usually replace Madoka throughout the opening with Homura in my head, with the naked scene being the only time where Madoka shows up. In fact, there's even a cool video where somebody animated this directly - search on TH-cam, "Puella Magi Homura Magica" it should be the first option.
IMO it symbolizes the fact that Madoka's karma is what makes her powerful, and it's a more "mature" Madoka from a previous timeline that gives her magical powers to this Madoka. Madoka. Madokaseption.
When I first saw madoka rebellion I thought their transformations were strange at the start. There's an unusual, witch labyrinth vibe to them. Also, i like sakura's transformation music, it has this tone to it that i find really badbeans.😊
+Dr. Skippinswhip Hmm... But you have to take into consideration that the precures take damage no matter where you hit them. But Puella Magi's only take damage from their soul gems.
I Love Mami she is so Cute and her tramsformation are the best and she is the best im this Anime I only watched the Anime because of her but she died :(
In the late 20XX era, Madoka literally became a concept to end the suffering of Magical Girls. As such, she ascended into a realm of gods, deities, over-deities alike, & to administer to the system of Magical Girls from within in. Should anything befall them, Homura Akemi is her herald to act on such matters unless it is something serious. The lore was referenced in many worlds from the 19XX-20XX describing how Kriemhild Gretchen and Penitent Gretchen are aspects of herself as a concept. Kriemhild was rumored to be a harbinger of the end & that Penitent is a bringer of heaven. A couple comparisons to few worlds like the Mega Man & Toku worlds who had such comparisons only in whispers by most others. A certain Old Spice Man's commercial starring Madoka. She giggled after watching it with her baby brother. Her friends had different reactions, though. Kyoko laughed raucously at the ridiculousness. Mami smiled at its silliness. Sayaka and Homura agreed that it was insulting to Madoka as it also promoted Kyubey. Said Incubator was amused and hoped to use this to lure girls into making Contracts but was…forcibly prevented. Charlotte…turned away in shame, as cake was why she ended up a Witch in the first place. Funny enough, Beerus like God-Emperor of Mankind got along well with Madoka. She scares half of the villainous factions when she makes her own Giga Drill Break & Simon cried tears of joy. Madoka has started exploring different fields & hobbies; so far, she seems to have settled on ballet after a entire story arc.
Did you ever imagine a crossover between "Manhunt" and "Madoka Magica" ? Just imagine for a moment. A girl who is told by Kyubey that the evil behind the city is all being caused by the witches. But as the story progresses, and the more time the girl spends with the protagonist, seeing how the city's evil was also caused by humans alone, there's a point in which she just gives up, and after Lionel's demise, she becomes a witch continuing on his job, and her executioner is none other than Kyoko, the girl who represents humanity's greed.
Madoka also became a witch.. When Homura and Madoka fought Walpurgisnacht and won, but they were both going to die and become witches, yet Madoka had a grief seed and used it on Homura, which is when Madoka became a witch afterwards and Homura wen back in time to save Madoka from making a wish and becoming a Magical Girl.
But this time Madoka asked Homura to kill her before she becomes a witch as her last wish before diyng and Homura going back in time again. Madoka turned into a witch in other timelines, like the second timeline and one of the last ones when she was getting more and more powerful because of Homura's time travel.

while i'm a sucker for dark and disturbed magical girls like homura/akuhomu, rebellion's "reason" for homura's corruption left a bitter taste in my mouth. like most people, i was confused at first and needed about 3-4 rewatches (not all at once of ofc LOL) to fully digest everything here's an attempt at a "simplified" breakdown: taking the first and last 2 letters of the japanese romanization of "MAhou shouJO" --> MAJO = magical girl --> witch soul gem = magical girl = born from hope/wishing grief seed = witch = born from despair homura's dark orb = devil = born from love (or more specifically, her "love" for madoka) i put the word "love" in quotations because homura's "love" for madoka is clearly obsessive to the point of corruption and is very much one-sided/selfish. she's turned her pain amd despair from all those timelines into pleasure as a sort of coping mechanism, eventually driving her motivations. throughout rebellion, homura gets a small taste of being with madoka again up until the big reveal, finally pushing her OWN self (as she created this "fake mitakihara") to the edge. while in her labyrinth, homura convinces herself that madoka secretly wishes to be freed of her duty as the one who fulfills "the law of cycles". it's sort of ambiguous whether real madoka and homura's "madoka" are the same, but while i'm inclined to believe homura's madoka is more or less telling her what she wants to hear (this is homura's OWN labyrinth, after all), homura's madoka may or may not be madokami without her memories of being madokami (i kind of forgot how she ended up in homura's labyrinth to begin with, but i'm sure she had help from sayaka and nagisa aka "her personal assistants"). after her transformation into akuhomu, homura no longer cares about madoka's wishes and decides to trap her in a world of her own creation against her will because she "loves" her. in her mind, she's "saving" madoka from her responsibility as a god AND making it so that she can be with her again. her corrupted soul gem becomes something we've never seen before, apparently called a "dark orb", and is created from these incredibly strong emotions. remember, it was a side affect of madoka's wish that made her become a godlike concept/law of the universe and thus, without a physical/human form. while madoka did say she was now "everywhere at every time", this just isn't enough to satisfy homura. at some point after the anime's ending, homura comes to this realization and ALMOST succumbs to her despair after being unable to accept madoka's sacrifice. right before she is to become a witch, kyuubey intervenes by isolating her and her soul gem, to see what would happen to a soul gem on the brink of corruption, BEFORE the law of cycles takes it away. at the same time, he could analyze the law of cycles and find a way to control it somehow. remember, the anime's ending shows that homura reveals to kyuubey the truth of the world that existed BEFORE the law of cycles came to be. homura believes herself to be the only one that remembers it, and doesn't realize kyuubey would become intrigued enough to act upon her revelations to him. while homura and her soul gem are being "incubated", she turns into a witch WITHIN her own soul gem, as she is unable to be taken away by the law of cycles, but is also unable to fully "hatch" into a witch as a result of being "incubated" (this part is a bit tricky to understand). witches technically STILL exist as a concept, with madokami working in the past, present, and future to erase them before they are born. but if for some reason, madokami cannot get to a soul gem that is on the verge of witchhood, how can she erase them? kyuubey wants to find out, and uses homura to lure madokami to him. BASICALLY, chaos ensues after homura shuts herself in an alternate world she's created within herself while waiting for madokami to take her away with the law of cycles (thanks to kyuubey isolating/incubating her). here is a quick timeline: ALMOST succumbs to despair, soul gem now on the brink --> kyuubey isolates her JUST before law of cycles can reach her --> succumbs to despair while in isolation --> becomes a witch within her soul gem --> unknowingly creates a labyrinth reflecting the "perfect" world she desires --> "lives" in the labyrinth with "madoka" --> realizes she's in a labyrinth --> realizes she's in HER labyrinth, becoming self aware and realizing nothing is "real" --> decides she wants nothing more than to be with madoka after convincing herself that madoka doesn't actually want to be madokami with her newfound self awareness, while waiting for madokami to end her "suffering" through the law of cycles, homura grabs and stops her before she can. if a corrupted soul gem --> grief seed = despair then a corrupted soul gem --> dark orb = "love" and so, akuhomu is born! she breaks her OWN corrupted soul gem so that it can transform not into a grief seed, but a "dark orb" thanks to her "love" for madoka. she is an anomoly in every way, having successfully managed to turn her pain/despair into pleasure so that she doesn't succumb to it. unfortunately, she doesn't retain any of her sanity in the process. after she decides she cannot TRULY be with madoka unless she is stripped from her responsibility as god, she splits madoka in two, effectively separating her from her godhood. now that there is no god, she can rewrite the laws of the universe yet again (as madoka had done so earlier) so that it may bend to her will. homura takes over and becomes the ruler of this new world, meaning madoka is probably trapped unless homura HERSELF decides to release her. despite claiming she "loves" madoka, she also acknowledges they are enemies. while destroying everything madoka worked so hard for shows how little homura actually understands her (altho she superficially retains some of it), homura herself is aware of this discrepancy, knowing they are opposites that cannot coexist. what they represent is far beyond themselves, both having lost their humanity in completely different ways and for different reasons. according to the wiki, madoka is the embodiment of hope (selfless love), while homura is the embodiment of despair (selfish love). the reason kyuubey cannot comprehend what homura has become is because he cannot turly understand love in any of its forms. even with hope and despair, he sees them as black and white formulas/concepts, and isn't capable of sympathizing with the girls at any point he's with them. but then you have an emotion like love, with so many forms and layers, it is simply far too complex for him to even have factored it into the equation. as distorted as homura's "love" is, it's still "love" (albeit a selfish one). her "love" is, arguably, the strongest there is. td;lr homura "loves" madoka and became a witch within herself, and a "devil" in real life, by turning her pain/despair into pleasure. this "love" however, leans toward obsession and selfishness and caused her to remove madoka from the part that made her godlike so that they can be together again. thanks to kyuubey's meddling, homura basically "killed" god because she "loves" her. also she's crazy and idk how to feel about it.
Something over noticed upon rewatching all these is that in the Blu-ray versions for Mami’s 3rd transformation she uses her school uniforms ribbon to create her corset and Kyoko throws the sticks she had in her mouth at the camera. They’re both a real blink and you miss it but you can see they were animated :D
Homura was actually the true hero in the ending of Rebellion, because in the ending they appeared in a "desert" (probably a city ceasing with all life due to Madoka's wish of killing all witches and ending the suffering to all Magical girls from every timeline Past, Present, Future. All of them.) And in this case, Homura brought back the balance and for that she became the demon god for imprisoning another god-like being. After all this time, her wish was still not granted. All she wanted to do was to protect Modoka. Change her fate, and maybe the other girls as well. If they do make a sequel to Rebellion, I like to see what will happen next. Will Madoka regain her memories, and jogging back the other's memories, or will it be Kyubey making them remember what Homura did? And if they do, then they will be facing a powerful enemy but only seeing that Homura was realizing that her perfect world not only flawed but felt empty with fake happiness. Though if Homura was defeated. It would end her suffering from something that was impossible. She is tearing herself apart trying to cease the never-ending pain. Although, unless they introduce a new magical girl she might be able to fix things. like her granting the wish to heal others physically, mentally, internally, and emotionally. The ability to help save someone from trying to die. Maybe Homura's family might help her. If... her family is there at least that is. I am leaping too many conclusions and theories on this. Maybe, just maybe, that demon raccoon thing will burn. Reason why is because Kyubey started this mess by convincing the girls to make contracts with them. And it's cute appearance is probably a disguise of what is really under Kyubey. At one point, Homura might've seen the true nature under that appearance of Kybey. being they might be a different race of witches. Or worse, space demons. And that they sold their soul to be consumed once they are dead after turning them into colorful things of jewelry.
I feel the only person who got did dirty was Homura. She wished to protect Madoka, failed so many times and the last time,, Madoka completely dips on staying with Homura, and becomes a god. She then became a witch and realized that nothing she did ever had meaning. Sad Homura, though
Funny how Mami has so many transformation sequence but is the first character to die in every timeline.
Not every timeline. Remember the one where Sayaka turned into a witch when everyone was still alive? They all found out about the ultimate form of a magical girl, Mami turned out to be the least stable of the quintet, she went crazy and killed Kyoko, then she wanted to kill Homura too but, instead, was killed by Madoka.

In the timeline in which she has erased herself and is the god of her world, it’s revealed that they don’t fight witches, they fight something else that I don’t remember, but it can still put their lives in danger. Wasn’t the point of madoka’s wish so that her friends- and every magical girl for that matter- are safe and never have to worry?
And what’s more, even in other timelines and events that are presumed and confirmed to take place after madoka magica, they still have to fight monsters. Their lives are still in danger.
You're talking about wraiths, which is kinda the predecessor of witches. This shows how naive Madoka was. Her wish was to erase the existence of all witches only. And she actually got the wish, by becoming the law of the cycle and preventing any magical girl from becoming a witch in the first place. The wraiths are different though. They still exist.
Yeah... she basically put a sopping wet bandaid on the problem. The reason why a dark being has to be fought is because the Kyuubei want to stop entropy.
I think that's the whole point of the show and part of the tragedy of it all. Because the main targets are preteen girls who (mostly) only think with their emotions solely to benefit themselves, they are incapable of seeing the bigger picture. Instead of Madoka saying, "This is happening because of entropy? Let me wish entropy didn't exist or wish there was a free and easy power supply", she got caught up in the "You're doing this to these poor girls! Let me stop that".
The Kyuubei (unfortunately) were geniuses by deciding to use preteen girls!
no? the point was for them to not be condemned to eternal suffering after they died
I think the main point was to rid the world of the corrupting force of the Witches. It wasn't JUST that her friends were in danger or could die. It was the existential horror of realizing that one moment they could "fall into despair", totally corrupting everything about themselves, and hurting those they love.
It's shown many times that becoming a witch is considered a fate worse than death itself. But the only only way to fight Witches is to use your magical powers... Which can corrupt you into a Witch. And the only way to heal that is by using a Witch's Grief Seed (basically their corrupted soul gems).
So it just becomes a vicious cycle of magical girls becoming witches and then needing to defeat witches to stave off the existential horror barreling in their direction... It's horrifying.
I personally think Madoka's wish was sound, it's just really weird how it didn't also get Homura? I know that could probably be down to how she worded it: "get rid of every witch that was born or will ever be born" which I guess leaves the loophole of "what if a witch was a witch but was never truly "born"...... But Homura DID become a witch eventually??? I just don't get it man.

Hey,dad
This is what I was hoping the new sailor moon transformations would look like. So much energy, such beautiful choreography, top notch animation. Instead we got watered down versions of the 90s henshins. I was so disappointed I cried.
I love that you used "unsatisfaction" as a word. Like not even a sarcastic criticism or anything, I genuinely love it.
but comon u gotta admit kyokos was awesome
Jesmond Mifsud
If your looking for magical girls with transformation that they use a lot and work on a lot, Madoka Magica isn't the anime for you
Jesmond Mifsud it's not Sailor Moon! Why is everyone saying that?! Sailor Moon was made by Toei Animation, and Madoka Magica was made by Shaft. Get it right!😡
Manga Girl I'm sorry but who said that this is sailor moon? I certainly didn't. Chill
the witch transformations were cute and at the same time creepy.... the shadow dances were so creepy soooo crreeeepppyy
But so beautiful and symbolic at the same time
You missed the one where Sayaka willingly showed her witch form in rebellion.
Sayaka was already a witch in the beginning of rebellion so we didn’t see any transformations that movie
@@pizzacutz1072 i wonder, is Bebe a witch form? does that make Nagisa have two witch forms? Bebe and Charlotte. also, i love how Sayaka can simply summon Oktavia instead of transforming, shes awesome
@@alamrasyidi4097I'm pretty sure Nagisa only has one witch form. Charlotte is the name of her witch, Bebe is a nickname given to her witch form in the "witchless" reality
@@HGml00 so...the massive serpentine clown is just the extended head of the tiny doll, both of which are Charlotte, nicknamed Bebe by the Holy Quintet? i kind of confuse them as different entities
I love that every transformation is different. Keeps it engaging and fun to watch.

@@elenigl74 well she acts that way because of what happened to her family, the different story manga confirms it.
Madoka Magica is awesome! Because
- Short but great and beautiful transformations
- Symbolism is used cleverly
- FEELS
- It is dark, which is why I like it, but it’s not super dark so I can still let myself watch it.
- A character that actually uses realistic guns and bombs! (There are many more reasons why Homura is best girl, this is only one of them)
- Great music
- I feel embarrassed and a bit ashamed for being the only magical girl fan in my class other than my best friend but that’s only because I introduced her to Madoka Magica and she’s not really that big on magical girls. The weebs in my class are literally just full on shōnen including the girls! But I can’t bring myself to shame for being a MadoMagi fan, it’s too beautiful.

+Marty Arararagi It's that awkward moment when you're deconstructing, parodying... *mocking* an entire genre... by do a better job at it than just anyone else has done before.
Awkward for everyone else, that is.
It's just occurred to me that in Madokas transformation the other Madoka kisses her and grants her her magical girl abilities, it's literally all the previous incarnations giving her their power to grant this one final wish and save all her friends forever... Holy shit
Christ. I didn’t realize how many transformations they all had... I remember watching them but goodness seeing them put together is forever.
You know what we need ? We need a Kyubey transformation. Ultimate Kyubey.
Tabbender maybe…😏
Hell no! Kyubey is creepy enough as is.
He just becomes a bigger ass than before
He will be a demon
Oh hell no, but if Kyubey became a magical girl it would be cool.
I wasn't gonna watch this anime because it looked like Tokyo Mew Mew, Shugo Chara and Sailor Moon had a baby. But I was sooo wrong xD
ash ketchup Yep.
I like how in a lot of these transformation you get hints of their witch form but not from madoka, and none of her timeline. She turns into a witch except for one and that was the culmination of all the despair she took upon herself in order for the magical girls to have true happiness. And even seeing the magical girls happy gave her enough strength to never succumb to despair and destroy her own which form. form.
絶対に同じ変身をしないのがまたいい所
Weird theory: what if Homura’s illness that she suffered from before the series began was actually cured because the only member of her family left to take care of her was a magical girl who used her wish to cure Homura only to turn into a witch soon after.

She cured herself with her power during the anime.

Do you refer to that she cured her vision by magic and never wears glasses afterward?

One of the main reasons I watched this show was because I saw videos of these witches and their labyrinths and found them so abstract.
Definitely a very creative take on witches on these shows.
9:14 it was cool to use the string as the representation of the godhood that she stripped from madoka , because its shows that all the different timelines connected on her from the series and that they all for together into the god version
Dude rebellion was amazing and so was the anime
Madoka's first transformation is pretty much just *screaming* lesbian overtones........
... With herself. This show is weird. And we all love it.
HeliosKitty
It's very likely that it's actually Homura with pink hair,given the symbolism.
+Nol Glemsel I've come to a similar conclusion, though funnily enough, I usually swap which person is actually representing Homura; I usually replace Madoka throughout the opening with Homura in my head, with the naked scene being the only time where Madoka shows up. In fact, there's even a cool video where somebody animated this directly - search on TH-cam, "Puella Magi Homura Magica" it should be the first option.
IMO it symbolizes the fact that Madoka's karma is what makes her powerful, and it's a more "mature" Madoka from a previous timeline that gives her magical powers to this Madoka. Madoka. Madokaseption.

Magda Makocka Because Magical Girl animes are mostly aimed for younger girls and younger girls like Pink/hot pink.
Mami Tomoe the Headless Magical Girl yea but what we got in this anime was not for little girls I can tell ya that!
Madoka is a parody so it makes sense for it to have some similarities with what it parodies
Naomi Callaghan Yes but it's made to seem like it.
Magda Makocka I have no idea, but since pink is my favorite color, I LOVE PINK MAGICAL GIRLS.
When I first saw madoka rebellion I thought their transformations were strange at the start. There's an unusual, witch labyrinth vibe to them. Also, i like sakura's transformation music, it has this tone to it that i find really badbeans.😊
I've never heard someone say "badbeans" before but I'm going to go out of my way to include it in every conversation now. Thank you!

I love how the only reason Madoka has so much power is because of Homura resetting time over and over in order to grant her wish of saving Madoka
Lets all agree that kyoko's transformation is awesome
I adore the crazy art style transformations the most~
I Love Mami she is so Cute and her tramsformation are the best and she is the best im this Anime I only watched the Anime because of her but she died :(
try reading some of the spin off mangas-
In the late 20XX era, Madoka literally became a concept to end the suffering of Magical Girls. As such, she ascended into a realm of gods, deities, over-deities alike, & to administer to the system of Magical Girls from within in. Should anything befall them, Homura Akemi is her herald to act on such matters unless it is something serious.
The lore was referenced in many worlds from the 19XX-20XX describing how Kriemhild Gretchen and Penitent Gretchen are aspects of herself as a concept. Kriemhild was rumored to be a harbinger of the end & that Penitent is a bringer of heaven. A couple comparisons to few worlds like the Mega Man & Toku worlds who had such comparisons only in whispers by most others. A certain Old Spice Man's commercial starring Madoka. She giggled after watching it with her baby brother. Her friends had different reactions, though. Kyoko laughed raucously at the ridiculousness. Mami smiled at its silliness. Sayaka and Homura agreed that it was insulting to Madoka as it also promoted Kyubey. Said Incubator was amused and hoped to use this to lure girls into making Contracts but was…forcibly prevented. Charlotte…turned away in shame, as cake was why she ended up a Witch in the first place.
Funny enough, Beerus like God-Emperor of Mankind got along well with Madoka. She scares half of the villainous factions when she makes her own Giga Drill Break & Simon cried tears of joy. Madoka has started exploring different fields & hobbies; so far, she seems to have settled on ballet after a entire story arc.
Thanks for this
XD
The transformations of this anime are so pretty
i like how its like wow!!! sayaka transformations!! shes so cool!! and then all of a sudden one of the saddest scenes in the show
アッカン感動の最終回の第12話の確かもう誰にも頼らないこのシーン好き 5:17
The Rebellion transformations are by far my favorite.
really a horror feel anime
***** yeah now I think too far, although that's still a really dark anime
Well, Madoka Magica does fall under the genre of paychological horror.
For the people who might think Glitter Force/Smile Precure copied Madoka Magica's scene after the transformations, I think they actually got inspired.
Did you ever imagine a crossover between "Manhunt" and "Madoka Magica" ? Just imagine for a moment. A girl who is told by Kyubey that the evil behind the city is all being caused by the witches. But as the story progresses, and the more time the girl spends with the protagonist, seeing how the city's evil was also caused by humans alone, there's a point in which she just gives up, and after Lionel's demise, she becomes a witch continuing on his job, and her executioner is none other than Kyoko, the girl who represents humanity's greed.
... you missed 'Kremhield Gretchin' - Madoka's Witch form... just to let you know...
Kyoko's Second transformation is my favourite :3

Madoka also became a witch..
When Homura and Madoka fought Walpurgisnacht and won, but they were both going to die and become witches, yet Madoka had a grief seed and used it on Homura, which is when Madoka became a witch afterwards and Homura wen back in time to save Madoka from making a wish and becoming a Magical Girl.
But this time Madoka asked Homura to kill her before she becomes a witch as her last wish before diyng and Homura going back in time again. Madoka turned into a witch in other timelines, like the second timeline and one of the last ones when she was getting more and more powerful because of Homura's time travel.

while i'm a sucker for dark and disturbed magical girls like homura/akuhomu, rebellion's "reason" for homura's corruption left a bitter taste in my mouth. like most people, i was confused at first and needed about 3-4 rewatches (not all at once of ofc LOL) to fully digest everything
here's an attempt at a "simplified" breakdown:
taking the first and last 2 letters of the japanese romanization of "MAhou shouJO" --> MAJO = magical girl --> witch
soul gem = magical girl = born from hope/wishing
grief seed = witch = born from despair
homura's dark orb = devil = born from love (or more specifically, her "love" for madoka)
i put the word "love" in quotations because homura's "love" for madoka is clearly obsessive to the point of corruption and is very much one-sided/selfish. she's turned her pain amd despair from all those timelines into pleasure as a sort of coping mechanism, eventually driving her motivations. throughout rebellion, homura gets a small taste of being with madoka again up until the big reveal, finally pushing her OWN self (as she created this "fake mitakihara") to the edge. while in her labyrinth, homura convinces herself that madoka secretly wishes to be freed of her duty as the one who fulfills "the law of cycles". it's sort of ambiguous whether real madoka and homura's "madoka" are the same, but while i'm inclined to believe homura's madoka is more or less telling her what she wants to hear (this is homura's OWN labyrinth, after all), homura's madoka may or may not be madokami without her memories of being madokami (i kind of forgot how she ended up in homura's labyrinth to begin with, but i'm sure she had help from sayaka and nagisa aka "her personal assistants"). after her transformation into akuhomu, homura no longer cares about madoka's wishes and decides to trap her in a world of her own creation against her will because she "loves" her. in her mind, she's "saving" madoka from her responsibility as a god AND making it so that she can be with her again. her corrupted soul gem becomes something we've never seen before, apparently called a "dark orb", and is created from these incredibly strong emotions.
remember, it was a side affect of madoka's wish that made her become a godlike concept/law of the universe and thus, without a physical/human form. while madoka did say she was now "everywhere at every time", this just isn't enough to satisfy homura. at some point after the anime's ending, homura comes to this realization and ALMOST succumbs to her despair after being unable to accept madoka's sacrifice. right before she is to become a witch, kyuubey intervenes by isolating her and her soul gem, to see what would happen to a soul gem on the brink of corruption, BEFORE the law of cycles takes it away. at the same time, he could analyze the law of cycles and find a way to control it somehow. remember, the anime's ending shows that homura reveals to kyuubey the truth of the world that existed BEFORE the law of cycles came to be. homura believes herself to be the only one that remembers it, and doesn't realize kyuubey would become intrigued enough to act upon her revelations to him. while homura and her soul gem are being "incubated", she turns into a witch WITHIN her own soul gem, as she is unable to be taken away by the law of cycles, but is also unable to fully "hatch" into a witch as a result of being "incubated" (this part is a bit tricky to understand). witches technically STILL exist as a concept, with madokami working in the past, present, and future to erase them before they are born. but if for some reason, madokami cannot get to a soul gem that is on the verge of witchhood, how can she erase them? kyuubey wants to find out, and uses homura to lure madokami to him.
BASICALLY, chaos ensues after homura shuts herself in an alternate world she's created within herself while waiting for madokami to take her away with the law of cycles (thanks to kyuubey isolating/incubating her). here is a quick timeline:
ALMOST succumbs to despair, soul gem now on the brink --> kyuubey isolates her JUST before law of cycles can reach her --> succumbs to despair while in isolation --> becomes a witch within her soul gem --> unknowingly creates a labyrinth reflecting the "perfect" world she desires --> "lives" in the labyrinth with "madoka" --> realizes she's in a labyrinth --> realizes she's in HER labyrinth, becoming self aware and realizing nothing is "real" --> decides she wants nothing more than to be with madoka after convincing herself that madoka doesn't actually want to be madokami
with her newfound self awareness, while waiting for madokami to end her "suffering" through the law of cycles, homura grabs and stops her before she can.
if a corrupted soul gem --> grief seed = despair
then a corrupted soul gem --> dark orb = "love"
and so, akuhomu is born! she breaks her OWN corrupted soul gem so that it can transform not into a grief seed, but a "dark orb" thanks to her "love" for madoka. she is an anomoly in every way, having successfully managed to turn her pain/despair into pleasure so that she doesn't succumb to it. unfortunately, she doesn't retain any of her sanity in the process. after she decides she cannot TRULY be with madoka unless she is stripped from her responsibility as god, she splits madoka in two, effectively separating her from her godhood. now that there is no god, she can rewrite the laws of the universe yet again (as madoka had done so earlier) so that it may bend to her will. homura takes over and becomes the ruler of this new world, meaning madoka is probably trapped unless homura HERSELF decides to release her. despite claiming she "loves" madoka, she also acknowledges they are enemies. while destroying everything madoka worked so hard for shows how little homura actually understands her (altho she superficially retains some of it), homura herself is aware of this discrepancy, knowing they are opposites that cannot coexist. what they represent is far beyond themselves, both having lost their humanity in completely different ways and for different reasons. according to the wiki, madoka is the embodiment of hope (selfless love), while homura is the embodiment of despair (selfish love).
the reason kyuubey cannot comprehend what homura has become is because he cannot turly understand love in any of its forms. even with hope and despair, he sees them as black and white formulas/concepts, and isn't capable of sympathizing with the girls at any point he's with them. but then you have an emotion like love, with so many forms and layers, it is simply far too complex for him to even have factored it into the equation. as distorted as homura's "love" is, it's still "love" (albeit a selfish one). her "love" is, arguably, the strongest there is.
td;lr homura "loves" madoka and became a witch within herself, and a "devil" in real life, by turning her pain/despair into pleasure. this "love" however, leans toward obsession and selfishness and caused her to remove madoka from the part that made her godlike so that they can be together again. thanks to kyuubey's meddling, homura basically "killed" god because she "loves" her. also she's crazy and idk how to feel about it.
How tf do u write something so long!?
@@meow-magedon2657 it's not that hard if u have a decent iq
Through out the whole anime, madoka has only two tranformations, magical girl, and celestial being, and her regular self
This show disturbs me on a whole new level
The Holy Quintet transformations are my favorite (besides sayaka's witch control)
Something over noticed upon rewatching all these is that in the Blu-ray versions for Mami’s 3rd transformation she uses her school uniforms ribbon to create her corset and Kyoko throws the sticks she had in her mouth at the camera. They’re both a real blink and you miss it but you can see they were animated :D
Homura was actually the true hero in the ending of Rebellion, because in the ending they appeared in a "desert" (probably a city ceasing with all life due to Madoka's wish of killing all witches and ending the suffering to all Magical girls from every timeline Past, Present, Future. All of them.) And in this case, Homura brought back the balance and for that she became the demon god for imprisoning another god-like being. After all this time, her wish was still not granted. All she wanted to do was to protect Modoka. Change her fate, and maybe the other girls as well. If they do make a sequel to Rebellion, I like to see what will happen next. Will Madoka regain her memories, and jogging back the other's memories, or will it be Kyubey making them remember what Homura did? And if they do, then they will be facing a powerful enemy but only seeing that Homura was realizing that her perfect world not only flawed but felt empty with fake happiness. Though if Homura was defeated. It would end her suffering from something that was impossible. She is tearing herself apart trying to cease the never-ending pain. Although, unless they introduce a new magical girl she might be able to fix things. like her granting the wish to heal others physically, mentally, internally, and emotionally. The ability to help save someone from trying to die. Maybe Homura's family might help her. If... her family is there at least that is. I am leaping too many conclusions and theories on this. Maybe, just maybe, that demon raccoon thing will burn. Reason why is because Kyubey started this mess by convincing the girls to make contracts with them. And it's cute appearance is probably a disguise of what is really under Kyubey. At one point, Homura might've seen the true nature under that appearance of Kybey. being they might be a different race of witches. Or worse, space demons. And that they sold their soul to be consumed once they are dead after turning them into colorful things of jewelry.
