So I finally saw the Madoka Magica movies.

GUYS. GUYS. That was so visually lush I feel like all this eye candy is going to give me diabetes. Everything was so intricately animated! The transformation scenes were a hundred times more awesome! And the fights were amazing...

The script has been retooled for the better, so much so that Madoka almost reads like a whole new character. Where we had to rely a lot on her actions in the anime, here she actually voices her thoughts, sides with Homura a whole lot and is generally more forceful. A good example is actually this really spoilery scene, which I'll hide under a cut.

Spoilers, MadoHomu thoughts and some description of an also spoilery scene )

Another note - I want to get the new Connect opening with Homura in the glasses.

Given the tone of this movie, I am now side-eyeing the third movie trailer very hard. Surely the creators know better than to undo their own themes? Then again, see: Macross Frontier. I'm just hoping that my personal pet theory is what is happening in that trailer. Hint: My personal theory has to do with Homura's witch.
