OKAY I'VE WATCHED IT.

- I am glad it ended well. I feel like the writers put a lot of effort into ensuring a happy ending - and I do count it as happy. It's "hope saves the day".

- I am a little shipper who ships. (Kyouko/Sayakaaaaaaaaaaaa OTP. And Madoka/Homura, obviously, because I never turn down a yuri pair canon wants me to ship.) I was cooing extatically at my screen when Kyouko was trying to save Sayaka, because ahahahahahahadooooooooomed. I REALLY LIKE STORIES ABOUT SELF-DESTRUCTION, and Madoka has the "for someone you love" version, the "because you don't live your to your own ideals" version...

- I get why everyone loves Homura. (I love her too! But still, Sayakaaaaaaaaaa is my favourite. Being a magical girl gives her magic! She fights for justice! She's not doing enough and people are selfish and terrible and being a magical girl can't stop that! She's a horrible terrible no-good person! I want to see the crossover where she meets Jason Todd.)

- on Kyubey: okay, so he was working for a greater good. You know what it still doesn't really make better? INFORMED CONSENT, YOU MONSTER. THE IMPORTANT WORD IS "INFORMED".

- I love everything about this second half, from Sayaka's fall to darkness to Kyouko's desperate reaching out and awesome self-sacrifice to Episode 10 to how they ended the show.

- Oh, Homura.

- Ep10: obviously Mami had a break-down, but really, taking out as many witches as you can and killing yourself before you become a witch yourself was the best thing to do. "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become a witch."

- Ep10 Sayaka: Sayaka is Jason Todd. Doomed in every universe where she becomes a magical girl. :3

- I am never going to be able to type that emoticon without flashing to Kyubey. :3 :3 I CAN'T STOP SEEING IT.

- compare "selfish wishes" (especially the way Mami frames Sayaka's wish) to the role of a Prince in Utena.

- I try not to dwell on the "important historical figures were magical girls", because it does cheapen what they achieved, and if I'm right at least one would piss me off a lot.

- "When you're ready to die for the universe, call me. I'll be waiting." is a gorgeous line. And not just because it's incredibly cruel, whether Kyubey means it to be or not. Because it's also incredibly attractive. I'd sign on that dotted line.

- the 2013 magical girl fic exchange cannot come fast enough.

- Madoka still has the best mom.

- feelings. everywhere. dammit, show, I'd started wary of fanservice and just engaged enough in the plot and the characters to appreciate it on an emotional level, and the Kyouko/Sayaka blew through the distance walls and the Ep10 blew through the skepticism walls and the GOOD ENDING made me :DDDDDDDDD back at the entire thing.

- I am not a huge fan of Hitomi's move. She was being perfectly decent until that one day ultimatum bit. :( Y u give ur friend only 24 hrs to make up her mind? (Until the end, I'd hoped she meant "you have one day to tell Kyousuke, or I tell him for you.")

- the ending where Homura talks with Kyubey really drives it home how much things changed. Madoka made the universe into a straight-up magical-girl verse. :D

- EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURTS IN A BAD WAY.

PMMM got into Yuletide, though, so if you're really feeling it, you can ask it there. I'm going to request KyoSaka and am currently writing all the fic which will get me thrown out of fandom. (accidental hatesex! And I had to write the fic with Kyoko and Sayaka with the watching over her body part.)
