There was a lot I enjoyed about last week's episode, but it did take some missteps. But this episode was flawless, I've seen everyone giving it 9 or 10 out of 10 (mostly 10s) because it was just that damn good. AND MAMI BEING BACK FOR A LITTLE WHILE AGAIN. I seriously threatened to tear up a little, it was so wonderful to see her again. And the episode just kept hammering on the audience with hit after hit of how much suffering these girls go through. Even the suffering they put onto each other!
I really enjoyed seeing the evolution of Homura's character, it made so much sense! She got an incredibly useful power, but it wasn't one that was immediately obvious as an offensive type of power. But she had to work and work and work at it, you could see her slowly becoming more driven as each time loop round went by, until she could control her powers better and she knew how to use a good array of weapons.
I'm assuming that Madoka's power levels are related to Homura's wish being centered around her somehow (since we know wishes affect the type of power you get--how many magical girls have been the center of a wish and then turned? what would happen if Kamijou could have been a magical boy, would his potential have shot up, too?) and I'm assuming that being a magical girl is what gave Madoka a lot of the confidence, rather than Homura eroding her personality, but we don't actually know that. It would be rather horrifying if that's what happened to her--wouldn't Homura be stuck in the time loop forever then? She wouldn't be able to protect Madoka at that rate?
And Kyuubei isn't a sadist, it's not like he enjoyed destroying the planet, but, holy shit, he's right that he has no emotions and honestly doesn't give a shit, the little dickbag.
I WANT THE NEXT EPISODE NOW PLZ. AND FOR THE SERIES TO GET A CONTINUATION. EXCEPT PLZ HAVE A GOOD ENDING THIS TIME, TOO. AND FOR SOMEONE TO TRANSLATE THE MANGA FASTER.
