@unspeaker @whitequark i know several akemi homura personally

i think it's enhanced by having seen madoka before, but a very, very long time ago, and in the less refined form that the tv series was. it made the characters' fates weigh heavier, because while i couldn't recall them precisely, it made every bit of foreshadowing echo louder

this is not a β€œrecap movie” it is a work of fucking art

(replying to it's Kanbaru again 🌟)

if you want to watch it i would recommend doing it in a low-noise environment, preferably with headphones, and with minimal distractions or interruptions

@erincandescent oh, because the telepathy sounds better when it's coming from inside your head

(replying to it's Kanbaru again 🌟)

@hikari ok but everything else about it sounds better on decent speakers :3

(and when the .1 channel isn’t thrown away, as happens when downmixing for headphones)

@hikari Side note: its kinda fascinating that the train station in Rebellion is so obviously Berlin Hbf.

A cavernous anime trains tation. The outer structure is made of glass; tracks cross on multiple levels. Walkways pass between them

Its undniable that this design was based upon Berlin Hauptbahnhof.

@erincandescent holy shit???

(replying to Erin πŸ’½βœ¨)

@hikari (though in Rebellion’s version it seems the ground floor is missing and the upper deck might be ground level? Its really hard to figure out how its situated. Which is quite themactic.)

@hikari it deserves to be watched in the format it was mastered for ^-^

@osy86 @hikari If you watched the movie you would know that telling a magical girl to stop is an exercise in futility

the madoka series really is larger than life. i was struggling to find the words for it, and then it struck me, there's none other than… β€œcanonical”. it is a codified myth

(replying to it's Kanbaru again 🌟)

madohomu never loses relevancy because it can't. it's canonical. it is the beginning and the end of yuri. it is mythic

β€ͺsymptoms of watching madoka can include: hearing madoka background music in your head in ordinary moments of waking life‬

(replying to it's Kanbaru again 🌟)

i have seen the third madoka movie, rebellion.

any rumours that i have previously seen this movie and had any opinions at the time are incorrect.

homura did nothing wrong.

this is my sincere opinion

(also, yes, i did cry to some degree more than once, if that's the metric)
