Haha, awesome! I already saw/commented on this one DA, so I won't retread anything I said there. I still have yet to watch this show...
But yeah...there is something that's fun about seeing an incredibly confident woman of size in a teensy magical girl outfit. It's like...conventional thought says that she should be ashamed, ASHAMED, to go parading around in that outfit with that figure! But she's all 'eh, don't bother me with details like that, I'm busy fighting monsters.' <3 (Thus proving that making an outfit work is all about attitude, cause dang, she is rocking it
( ... )
Haha it's kinda interesting. IT DIDN'T BLOW ME AWAY OR ANYTHING perhaps my standards for shocking gore are too high
haha that's not really supposed to be a scar so much but like a ribbon i think that goes around mami's corset bottom? I WAS PHONING IT ON THAT, THAT'S WHAT I GET
She can be reluctant to fight, that's true! But Madoka's whole thing is that she spends the series angsting about how everyone else is fighting and being brave and all she does is cry and be useless and passive which doesn't fit Jockey so much in my mind. :O BUT WITH TWEAKING I GUESS I COULD SEE IT Could totally see her wishing that the cycle would end and such, haha. Especially once she finds out what happens to Puella Magi.
ACTUALLY THAT'S TRUE, SHE COULD DO THE EATING THING NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT
Oh, oh, I see it now! It was the lacy edge that threw me.
True...it's not an exact one to one correlation. Jockey's thing is more her disconnected state/inability to cope with reality. STILL, OF THE MAIN FOUR, SHE IS PROBABLY THE ONE EASIEST TO ADAPT INTO SOMETHING APPROACHING THE CORRECT ROLE. But none of the ladies are really quite...passive enough, I guess? Unless you count Mousey. It amuses me on some weird level that I can more readily think of guys who fit this role than girls. ...and if I were at all confident in my ability to draw magical girl gear, this would probably lead to me fitting Sha with a mini-skirt. Because, really, me, pass up a chance to make my OCs look silly?
YEAH THAT'S TRUE she is kind of flexible. :O But yeah none of them really have that same passiveness that sort of saves Madoka through a lot of it, haha. EXCEPT MOUSEY OH DANG THAT WOULD WORK (although if Smoker is Homura then....????)
Hahaha LADIES GET THINGS DONE altho there is a twinge at the idea of the savior of the magic girls/universe being a dude BUT MOSTLY I JUST THINK THE OUTFITS WOULD BE HILARIOUS
Tee hee hee. Charger in a corset. They were meant to be slimming after all :D
Maybe Charger and David were in a wreck and Charger just wished "BREATHE DAVID. JUST BREATHE ;_;" so now he's a vegetable in a hospital BUT HE'S STILL BREATHING YOU GUYS. (and you thought Jockey was maximum traumachicken)
I have no idea! It'd involve animals for sure though
I KNOW. I JUST WENT "HOW COULD SUCH A WISH GO HORRIBLY WRONG." and then yeah. MAXIMUM HORRIBLE BUT SHE JUST CAN'T BEAR TO LET HIM GO SO HE'S JUST LYING THERE IN HOSPITAL BREATHING BUT NEVER WAKING UP.
I have no idea what the others'd wish for. Not even Jockey.
Aw, I watched it knowing nothing except that it was a mahou shoujo anime. With each plot revelation, especially with Homura in the 11th episode, MY MIND WAS BLOWN.
I think the only other magical girl anime I can say I like is Utena, and Utena still makes almost no sense to me.

Minus Kyoko's constant eating, or Hunter's?

I think Smoker would wish for an endless supply of cigarettes.
