→ Oh, Madoka Magica fandom, you're just about all grown up now, aren't you? I'm not surprised the first kerfluffle was over the anime episodes potentially not airing at all (meaning, we'd have to wait until September or so when the dvds come out), it was bound to get some people wound up, and it's not like I'm not anxious for the

I was just thinking about Michiru's reaction to the various people that Haruka would interact with and you're right that she doesn't seem to mind when it's Usagi. Though, I seem to recall that she does get pretty bitchy when Haruka flirts with other people? It's an interesting situation--the one other Haruka ship I could take seriously, that's the one Michiru doesn't seem to mind? Possibly Michiru sort of understands? Because, honestly, who isn't a little in love with Usagi?

The show totally encouraged the shipping of Hotaru and Chibi-Usa, I just... *flails* I'm such a Helios/Chibi-Usa fan that it sort of pains me! Because Hotaru and Chibi-Usa are so cute and the anime encourages it so much--!

And I really liked that moment where Sailor Moon shows up, glassy-eyed with baby Hotaru in her arms, it was absolutely an epic moment... that really had no build-up to that particular moment. It's a beautiful, iconic image, to see her walking out with the baby in her arms, having refused to let Hotaru just sacrifice herself, but... we saw absolutely nothing of how that happened, which is what frustrated me. Even just half a minute of Usagi inside Pharaoh 90, reaching for Hotaru who'd sacrificed herself, reaching out to heal her, then a baby being born into her arms, that probably could have turned so much of it around for me.

(And I hate to be so negative about it, because I don't mean to imply that it was a bad ending! And I recognize that a lot of it was me bringing my own expectations into it! Just... I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS OR I WILL ~*EXPLODE*~ FROM ALL THE ~*FEELINGS*~ I HAVE. XD)
