Hi! Is there an order/best way to watch Madoka and the others "spinoffs"? (and it is the same for the manga?) I would like to but I am not sure where to begin. It is like Precure with no real order between the series? or do I have to watch some to understand the others? It looks very complex with so many characters and timelines! Thanks!

Hi there! I'm glad there's someone who's interested in getting into the PMMM extended universe!

First of all, you can read my rankings/reviews of the spinoffs here and find links to read/summaries of them written by me here.

Secondly, there's not really a right or wrong order to watch/read most of the spinoffs in. But you should definitely watch the original anime first, followed by the Rebellion movie. That lays the groundwork for everything, plus they're just the best entries overall.

Aside from that, the PMMM spinoffs can be categorized by whether they're directly related to the main PMMM story (meaning they include characters/plotlines from PMMM) or feature an entirely original cast of characters and story. I'll outline them below:

Direct spinoffs:

The Different Story

The Wraith Arc

Oriko Magica and its spinoffs

The PSP game

Tons of other lesser-known spinoffs/gag manga like Homura's Revenge, Homura Tamura, etc

Original spinoffs:

Tart Magica

Suzune Magica

Kazumi Magica

Magia Record (this one is hard to categorize because it largely features original characters and an original plot, but characters from the original PMMM series do show up. However, they have less of an impact as the story continues and most fans agree that they were only really present to help sell the game to older fans (not that that's a bad thing, they're utilized pretty well). Overall I would categorize this as far more of an original spinoff than a direct one)

Most of the spinoffs are standalones and don't really require any prior knowledge of other spinoffs to enjoy. I will say that if you get really deep into the Magia Record game and not just the manga adaptation that there's a lot of overlap with the spinoffs in things like events, magical girl personal stories, etc. Nearly all of the spinoff magical girls are playable in Magia Record so that's something to keep in mind. But it doesn't really affect the main story.

I have never heard of Norman Rockwell. I don’t understand anything about art. But this picture shook me and caused a storm of emotions. It is called Breaking Home Ties, 1954

The boy is going to a Uni and wearing his best outfit; the Uni sticker is on his luggage, even his tie and his socks are the colours of the sticker. He is excited and impatient. The father - obviously a farmer, is sitting at the worn farm truck with a flag and a storm lamp, because their place is so small the train won’t normally stop there, so the father will need to “catch” the train and signal with the light and the flag for it to stop.

His son will never come back to the farm.  

I think I understand why this picture sold at 15,4 million dollars in 2006.

Great paintings by Norman Rockwell of everyday Americana.

[striving-artist]

Norman Rockwell specialized in exactly this, OP. You can look at almost all of his paintings and find a story in it. Some are sweet, some are poignant, some just show family. They are all stories, and they all have story woven into every single detail.

And because it is my favorite, this is “Shiner”

[lankyguy]

Rockwell’s mentor was A.C. Leyendecker best known for his illustrations of the Arrow Collar shirt man. The model was Leyendecker’s lover. Rockwell was a pallbearer at Leyendecker’s funeral.

Rockwell’s paintings also dealt quite a bit with social issues as he got older and after the Saturday Evening Post made him remove a Black person from an image bc Black people “could only depicted in service jobs”.

As a result he left the Post & created (among other works) The Problem We All Live With and Murder in Mississippi.

OP post “Breaking Home Ties”.

Look at the dog.

Oh boy…

For those who don’t know the problem we all live with :

It’s also very fun to add that during WW2 when the government put out a call to commission artists to create a poster to inspire woman to fill in service roles and feed the war effort, Normal Rockwell was one of the artists who entered. The famous picture of Rosie the Riveter is known to every USAmerican student, and known throughout the world over. But what’s not as commonly known was Rockwell’s submission, which was denied by the US government for portraying the wrong kind of American woman and not something that would appeal to their femininity. Basically, it fucks too hard and the government got scared. But Rockwell was no such coward to give a woman a sandwich and a strap
