Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Movie 3: Rebellion Extra Quality


Madoka's wish wasn't exactly that. She wished to erase all the witches, past, present and future with her own hands. The bolded part being the interesting one. Not only did it mean the wish couldn't have any unfortunate fulfilling that wasn't what she wanted, it meant she would have to do the work herself. Which is also the only reason it invokes a paradox that forces her existence into a concept. Either way, the point is, Madoka takes the despair out of the Soul Gems of Magical Girls as they are about to become witches. The natural tainting process of the Soul Gem still exists and the girls would still become witches if she wasn't there to take their souls to wherever and let them have a dignified death.Only in Homura's case this time, she wasn't there. To expand upon it, what the Incubators do is use their super advanced alien science to freeze Homura's Soul Gem at a borderline state. She's about to become a witch, but she's still a magical girl. Let's say for the sake of an analogy that her Soul Gem was 99.99% tainted. That's where they froze her at. Because that's the point at which Madoka would come in and save her from becoming a witch as she did to everyone throughout the series and they wanted to capture Madoka. So, frozen at this state, the Soul Gem couldn't break and impose a witch barrier over some part of this world (which is still a separate dimension of its own), so it created a barrier of sorts inside itself. Basically, the first part of the movie was spent inside Homura's Soul Gem. Note that at this point, the world they're in may be akin to a witch barrier, but Homura isn't a witch, as the barrier was created by what is still her Soul Gem.After the whole ordeal that culminates with her realizing she's the one who created the barrier, Homura is confronted by Kyubey, who tells her about what exactly had happened with her and what their plans for Madoka were. There, she decides to become a witch inside the barrier so she can be killed by Mami and Kyouko there and ensuring Madoka will never come for her. Note that this Homura inside the Soul Gem is basically her soul, so being killed inside it is the same as destroying her Soul Gem. Now she purposely brings upon her more despair and suffering by accepting she won't be able to meet Madoka again and successfully becomes a witch inside the Soul Gem. This is a separate world of its own, one that Madoka can't see nor reach (which is still kinda of a moot point anyway since Madoka is trapped inside it without any memories of who she even is), which is why it was possible for that to happen. The Homura in the outside world, her physical body, is not yet a witch, since any developments in the inside won't affect the outside thanks to Kyubey's filter.TL;DR - Homura doesn't become a witch in the outside world, she becomes one inside her own Soul Gem, which is a separate dimension from the one Madoka can see and interact with.




Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Movie 3: Rebellion



Madoka Magica was one of the most important anime series of its year, and arguably the most important of its decade. A deconstruction that made everyone rethink their attitudes towards the cutesy magical-girl anime genre, it was a simple but powerful story. And it ended perfectly well: but its success encouraged two compilation films, and a third that continues the story further in "Madoka Magica The Movie 3 - Rebellion." There was no reason to change the ending, but they did. And under the circumstances, they did a fantastic job.The beginning of the film would be confusing if you hadn't seen the original show (or two previous movies). Admittedly slow to start, It looks like an idealized life of the first half of the original show, where Madoka, Homura, and all the other girls fight together as a team against Nightmares, dark dangerous creatures made from human emotions out of control. No one gets hurt, and all is well. But anyone who knows the original story knows this isn't at all like it's supposed to be, and there are contradictions to what we thought we knew in this perfect life. Homura catches on, and starts questioning everything and her friends, leading to the possibility that it isn't real, and the question of whether or not they would want to leave this perfect world. Saying much more would spoil the story. But I do need to mention the ending: it looks like everything will end nicely, with everyone at peace and the world in balance, a nice little epilogue to how the show ended. But then there's a huge twist that takes up the last half hour, based around Homura's emotions and memories to Madoka and her reasons for fighting for so long to save her from her fate. Interviews with the writer show that the creators were dissatisfied with the nice ending of the original show, thus leading to this. It feels jarring, and surprising, and this film has been met with controversy and polarized many fans. It also gave the film purpose. With the "nice" ending, absolutely nothing would have changed from the original ending of the show, and the two hour film would be an epilogue, not a continuation, feeling like a 20-page excerpt to a 300-page book that was stretched to be longer than it needed to be. This true ending makes big changes, not only allowing the potential for further sequels, but feeling more complete in this dark universe in its own, strange way. I personally loved it. Whether or not you do, you'll have fun just seeing where the original creators take the story trying to extend it forever further.Not being able to rely on scenes from the show, the movie is animated entirely for the big screen, and shines on Bluray. Incredible detail in the backgrounds, fantastic action scenes, and plenty of disturbing faces and "witch" patterns that the show was known for. The Japanese voice acting is as good, given that they are still voicing young girls without much emotion. The English dub is fine, although the Japanese feels more appropriate. The music is as good as ever, although predictable in style after milking the show for so long.Yes, the creators are milking the show's success. But they did it expertly, and this is a important movie to the canon, a must see for fans. Hopefully they won't keep going and end this on a high note. Or in this case, a side note. 041b061a72
