There were too many sweets in this episode.

OH MAMI. She made a wish to stay alive, but because she didn't think it through she ended up sad and alone. (Because I think she only wished to stay alive, but didn't realise that the rest of her family was dead.) And that's why she wants to give Madoka and Sayaka the chance to think it through.

Charlotte did not look like the first witch at all, which in itself is scarier, because at least the first witch was honest about who she was. Here Mami looked like she was bullying the small cute thing... and then... and then...

To be honest, I'd spoiled myself so I knew that Mami was going to die by decapitation, but I'd prepared myself for something gory. Especially when Charlotte turned into that Jack-in-a-Box with teeth. I didn't expect myself to watch the scene and...

And feel my heart break.

Because Madoka had promised Mami that she didn't need to be alone. Because Madoka wanted to be a magic girl, wish or no wish. And they were going to have a huge cake after the fight even if Madoka was bummed over that use of her wish, but it was going to be a party and then... and then... and then Mami died.

And there's not even a body to remember her by.

I watched a bit of Episode 4 to try and get some closure, but when Madoka started crying I started crying too - it felt exactly like it had when my friend died and no one quite understood. I'd been there, and it hurt.

Poor Mami. Poor Madoka.

I now can't stop crying when I listen to the ending theme. Do listen - it's a very epic song even when it's not the full version.
