Happy 15th Anniversary Madoka Magica!!

15 years of (trauma🥲) this great anime 🥳

[berusaes]

14 years ago, the first episode of Madoka Magica officially aired! It's insane how much this anime changed my perspective in a whole lot of things and I couldn't be more grateful for it. 

[radioactivemelody]

15 years of Madoka Magica today! Once again I am foverer thankful this masterpiece exists and still manages to make me think so deeply about it. And there's Walpurgisnacht Rising next month!!

The other thing that makes this shot so interesting (in addition to all of the other reasons I've already discussed) is that it's common for bartenders to put actual rocks in a glass when serving whiskey, which look almost identical to the cubes shown here.

Normally, whiskey is served with ice cubes ("on the rocks") to keep it cool, but ice melts and waters down the drink. The solution is to keep a handful of whiskey stones in the freezer and use them instead, as they keep the drink cool without affecting its taste - i.e. "on the rocks" but with actual rocks.

Anyway, my first thought when I originally watched the trailer was that these were grief cubes mimicking whiskey stones because magical girl + black cubes, but it would be hilariously funny if it's the other way around and they're perfectly normal black rocks that just happened to look like grief cubes for the visual pun (similar to this shot from earlier in the trailer).

important walpurgis no kaiten plotline: sayaka becomes an alcoholic

[radioactivemelody]

We need to talk about Sayaka in this trailer. It's been hinted quite a lot that she's aware the world they live in is fake and is actually Homura's labyrinth, her fabrication. After all, she was the only person to directly confront Homura towards the end of Rebellion before their memories got messed with.

I mean, look at her. She's downright miserable and I'm pretty sure this miserableness stems from the fact she cannot tell the others. Her face is almost entirely bandaged, from mouth to nose to right eye. Only her left eye is exposed– she can't talk but she still can see and this is eating her alive.

Ironically enough, the left eye is used in Madoka's transformation to symbolize she is an all-seeing god and what was Sayaka before? One of Madoka's angels.

Another thing I find very interesting is the shot of Sayaka and the grief cube-filled glass, mimicking ice. It seems the girls are in a bar and Sayaka sits at the counter, alone as if she's going to drink her sorrow (grief?) away. Someone pointed out the trailer seems to really settle on adult life as a theme which is quite contrasting to the other scenes of the girls eating sweets in a tea party and having fun.

And this stare Sayaka and Homura (why is her ribbon so faded?) share leads me to believe something will go down between them, probably a confrontation. All I need to say is that I am very excited for this movie, can't wait for it!!
